The best Labor Day tech sales in 2022: Laptops, TVs and more
Do your gadgets need an upgrade? Amazon and Best Buy have you covered with deals on TVs, laptops and more.
If you’re starting a new semester at college or just need a laptop upgrade, both the Macbook Pro Laptop M1 14-inch and 16-inch options are at their lowest price in months. Both models offer 16GB of RAM, a liquid retina XDR display, and an array of ports including Thunderbolt 4, HDMA and MagSafe. Though Apple debuted its first laptops with an M2 chip earlier this summer, the M1 option is available at an excellent price.
At $500 off, this 55-inch Samsung 4K TV might be one of the best Labor Day deals of the holiday weekend. Organic LED TVs (OLED) are widely considered the best TVs you can buy today, as we previously reported in our guide to the best smart TVs, due to the picture’s depth of color. With an OLED television, each pixel emits its own light, which means pixels in dark areas can turn themselves off entirely, creating perfect, inky blacks (compared to the slightly greyer blacks of LED TVs).
The Google Chromecast is a great streaming device at a relatively affordable price point (especially right now when it's 33% off). It can plug into any device with an HDMI port to stream content from your phone or laptop and is compatible with popular apps like Disney Plus, Netflix and YouTube. The Chromecast is also compatible with Google Home, which means if you have one, you can use voice commands to change the channel, turn up the volume and more.
These expert-recommended gaming headphones are compatible with a wide array of gaming systems like the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch (in the handheld mode), PC and Mac. Our experts favored these for their comfort, simplicity and build quality. The headphones are wired, and to use the virtual surround sound, you will need to plug them into a computer via the USB port rather than a 3.55 mm audio jack.
This top-rated solar power bank uses a sundial to help align the solar cells with the sunlight. It comes with a battery and charge strength indicator as well as a kickstand to prop it up. The SolarPanel 5+ also has a battery status button that tells you how much power is stored in the battery. If you need a faster charge, you can also plug it into an outlet.
While this Wi-Fi router, a favorite in our guide to the best Wi-Fi routers, was an additional $10 cheaper earlier this summer during the July 4th holiday, we still think this is a great bargain. The dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router delivers speeds 5,400Mbps, according to the brand. It also offers lifetime free internet security and is compatible with the Asus AiMesh feature, which enables you to connect to certain Asus routers to create a whole-home Wi-Fi mesh system, according to the brand.
These stylish, cordless earbuds are the cheapest they have been in well over a year. The earbuds offer a flush-to-ear design that ensures clear-sounding calls and their stabilizer arc keeps them in place “so you can wear them even during the sweatiest workout,” says the brand. They come in three colors: Stormy Black, Clearly White, and the autumn-friendly Dark Olive.
