While the Labor Day sales are usually a bigger event for appliances, furniture, and outdoor goods to prep for fall, there are actually dozens of tech deals out there as well. And one big category is laptops, where savings of up to $900 are available at Best Buy, Amazon, Dell, HP, and more. I’ve searched through all of these sales and picked out the 9 best Labor Day laptop deals that are worth buying.
Best Buy is actually one of the strongest retailers when it comes to sales this week, with discounts of up to $900 off a wide selection of Chromebooks, laptops, and gaming laptops.
One of its top offers is this Acer Aspire Go 15 for $499.99 (was $699.99). It may have some older components, but you get a solid AMD Ryzen 7, 16GB of RAM, and a respectable 512GB SSD for storage. That’s a set of components you don’t always see for under $500, and is powerful enough to keep up with work, college, and just everyday use.
Elsewhere, Dell might not have the biggest sale, but it’s going to be tough for anyone else to beat this Dell XPS 13 for $699.99 (was $899.99). Even better still, eligible students can get another $100 off on top, bringing this fantastic all-around device to a frankly ridiculous $599. It’s near-unbeatable for a fast, powerful, and stylish machine.
Be sure to check out all of the best laptop deals I’ve found below, as well as the highlights from the Labor Day sales at various other retailers and manufacturers.

The MacBook Neo just got a price bump, but students can get it cheaper again thanks to Apple’s education discount. The latest MacBook packs a 13-inch Liquid Retina display, an A18 Pro chip, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and up to 16 hours of battery life, all for under $600, which is fantastic value. Discounts have been better in the past, but I think these will be rarer to see over the coming months and this price likely won’t be beaten over Black Friday.View Deal

You don’t always find a laptop with 8GB of memory for under $300, so this Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook really stands out in Best Buy’s Labor Day sale. Other components are good for light use, but that bump to 8GB of RAM will really help with everyday performance and load times. It’s still a fairly basic laptop, but with enough extra power to avoid dramatic slowdown when multitasking.View Deal

This is a solid discount on a modern laptop powered by one of the efficient Snapdragon X CPUs. As well as excellent levels of all-around performance, this device boasts a huge all-day battery life, so you won’t need to worry about being attached to a charger at all times. I think the storage is a little stingy at 256GB, but if you can cope with that and make use of cloud storage for everything else, this is an impressive laptop for the price.View Deal
