Labor Day means stellar tech deals — snap up steals on Sony, Lenovo, HP and Apple

The basic iPad is the best choice for most people, and $199 is its lowest price ever. Check emails, stream your fave flicks and series or browse the web — the iPad can handle it all. Its A13 Bionic chip is pretty powerful, and the 10.2-inch screen gives you lots of space to work with. 

If you’re looking for something even more portable than the above model, the iPad Mini may be right up your alley. It’s 24% off for this 6th Generation model, which packs a punch with Apple’s A15 chip. You also get TouchID for security, and its 8.3-inch display makes it the perfect travel companion. We haven’t seen the price drop lower than this.

Apple’s AirPods set the standard for modern earbuds, and the original design is still going strong with this 2nd Generation pair. They come in a Lightning charging case to give you a total of more than 24 hours of battery life, and they just work with your iPhone. The $89 price for this Labor Day sale is 31% off their usual $129 price tag, making it even easier to justify, say, an AppleCare subscription on top.

The latest generation of AirPods Pro offer some of the best noise cancelation you can get in a pair of earbuds, and a 20% discount makes them more tempting than ever. Apple’s iconic stem design is here with a USB-C charging case that gives you a total of 30 hours of battery life (or more without noise canceling enabled). If you have an iPhone, the AirPods Pro are a perfect companion.

Need to keep track of your stuff? AirTags can help with that. This pack comes with four of them that you can pop in a bag, attach to a keychain, or put practically anywhere else you want to keep tabs on something. Some people even add them to a collars to track their pets. While this isn’t the lowest price we’ve ever spotted on this set, it’s still cheaper than buying each tag individually ($20 vs $28 each).

Between robust software support and powerful, efficient chips, it’s hard to go wrong picking up a MacBook Air. This model comes with an Apple M3 chip, which can drive everyday tasks with ease, and offers multiple-day battery life. The sale price of $900 for the base model is a steal, considering you’d pay full price for this year’s model at the Apple store.

If you want to save a little more, you can opt for the previous generation of MacBook Air. It’s just as capable, but you’ll swap out the M3 chip for an M2. You’ll still have plenty of power for everyday tasks, longtime software support and multi-day battery life. Oh, and $800, is the lowest price we’ve seen yet on this.

Available in three different colors, Bose’s QuietComfort Ultras are stylish and offer some stellar sound quality. You can get up to 24 hours of battery life on a charge, and they even support spatial audio. This is on par with the lowest price we’ve seen on these cans.

You can’t knock Sony’s audio bona fides, even with more budget-oriented headphones. This set is Sony’s lightest with wireless noise cancelation, and there’s a dedicated processor to pump out fantastic sound quality. You can get up to 35 hours of battery life, and if you run low, you only need a three-minute charge to get an additional hour of playback time. The multi-point connection feature also lets you quickly move between two devices in a snap. Did we mention this is the lowest price on the web at the moment?

Sometimes, you don’t want to spend an arm and a leg on a decent set of earbuds. This pair comes in at $22, making them super affordable. The company claims you can get up to 50 hours of playback time per charge and, yep, noise cancelation is part of the package. They’re also waterproof if you plan to use them for intense workouts.

These budget buds ditch the stem design for a much more compact build. They’re waterproof, making them good for outdoor exercise, and touch controls make it easy to skip songs and pause playback in a pinch. 

Anker is one of the most reputable tech brands out there, and its Soundcore sub-brand is no slouch, either. These earbuds pump out solid sound and up to 30 hours of playback, with 22 EQ presets to choose from. They’re water-resistant for outdoor use, and a companion app makes them easy to customize. For a cool $20, you can’t do much better.

For those who need a little more power on the go, this IdeaPad comes with a 15.6-inch touch display, so you can poke and prod its screen instead of plying the trackpad. Otherwise, the Core i3 processor gives you enough power to take on usual work and school tasks without much of a fuss. That’s backed up by 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, which is pretty beefy for a $332 laptop.

With all of the huge TVs out there nowadays, it’s refreshing to see you can still get a small one, especially when it’s got a tiny price to match! This is a pretty basic set that offers a 720p picture, but it also has Amazon’s Fire TV built in with an Alexa voice remote. That means you’ll get easy access to all of the streaming apps you could want, all packed inside a unit that’s great for a kitchen, garage or guestroom.

Amazon’s Fire TV boxes have been popular additions to home theaters for years, and this TV integrates it right into the set itself. You get a pretty beefy 55-inch screen with 4K and support for HDR, which makes for vibrant, poppy colors on content that supports it. Because it’s a Fire TV, it also works tightly with Amazon’s Echo ecosystem, giving you myriad ways to control it with your voice. Did we mention it’s cheaper than it was this past Prime Day?

The Frame from Samsung is a work of art. Literally. Well, not literally, but almost. The TV’s special feature is that it has a super-slim bezel that’s meant to look like a picture frame on your wall. When you aren’t watching stuff, the TV can show artwork to help it blend in. That’s all on top of a 55-inch, 4K screen that’s capable of HDR and includes Alexa support built in. You don’t often see such a significant markdown on this popular model, so if you’ve been waiting for a chance to pounce…
