While it’s not the latest model, it’s still a great choice for someone who wants a solid laptop but doesn’t need all the bells and whistles, especially if you’re loyal to the Apple ecosystem. It has the M1 chip, which is still great because it’s thin, light, and made with a quiet, fanless design.

If you can’t decide between a laptop and a tablet, this is the one for you. The touchscreen capabilities mean you can use it as a tablet, especially since the keyboard folds all the way up. For days when you want a more typical laptop, you can use it that way. This is a great all-around option, perfect for students.

Acer/CNET

It’s time to upgrade your gaming experience with a new laptop. This laptop is quite large with an 18-inch display. It also has a super fast processor, so you won’t miss a thing in your game. To sweeten the deal even more, when you buy this laptop you get the Assassin’s Creed Shadows game for free.

ASUS/CNET

A great option for someone who wants a simple laptop for basic needs. This includes checking emails and browsing the web. This laptop runs ChromeOS and comes with Google AI built in. You can even get free access to Google AI for the first year so you can try it out.

How We Pick the Best Labor Day Deals

At CNET, we have a team of expert shoppers and bargain hunters with years of experience helping shoppers understand which big sales and deals are legit and which are more routine. That includes Black Friday, Prime Day, the Fourth of July and countless other shopping events. We’ve gotten really good at weeding out the scams and superficial deals. We look at real discounts, quality ratings and time left on the sale when choosing which deals to show you.

  • Real discounts mean just that. We look at the price history of all items sold to make sure that no manufacturers are inflating prices to make the discount seem bigger than it is.
  • Quality reviews are important for any product, but especially for big purchases like grills, furniture, and appliances. If it breaks the first time you use it, the discount isn’t really worth it.
  • The remaining sale time is a big part of our review process. If a deal seems short or only available for remaining stock, we will let you know up front so you don’t come back to the deal later and be disappointed.
