Best Labor Day Tech Deals 2022: Apple Devices, TVs, Laptops & More

Labor Day weekend isn’t known as a particularly fertile time for deals on electronics, and generally that’s the case again this year. As usual, Black Friday, Cyber ​​Monday and other end-of-the-year holiday sales will offer bigger savings for those who can afford to wait.

That said, there̵[ads1]7;s still a handful of notable discounts right now on gadgets and gear we like, so for our latest Dealmaster roundup, we’ve rounded up the best Labor Day tech deals we could find below.

Highlights include the lowest prices we’ve tracked for Apple’s 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros, with the entry-level versions each $400 off $1,599 and $2,099, respectively. There’s still quite a bit of change, for sure, and it’s worth noting that updated versions of these notebooks could be announced as soon as next month. The recently overhauled MacBook Air is a better value for most people who need a new Mac, too. But for developers, visual creatives, or power users who need the extra ports, multi-core performance, and GPU power the pros can offer, there’s still value to be had with these deals today.

Beyond that, we’ve also got a new low on LG’s C2 OLED TV, plus joint lows on other well-reviewed 2022 TVs from Samsung and Hisense. We also have cheaper-than-usual prices on Apple’s Pencil stylus and high-end AirPods Max headphones, more video games, Peacock subscriptions, Sony’s DualSense PS5 controller, gaming monitors and much more. You can find our full curated list of Labor Day deals below.
