5 Can’t-Miss Labor Day Weekend Tech Deals: MacBooks, Monitors, TVs, and More

No days off in the deals department, as I’ll be checking in all weekend on Labor Day sales and writing up offers. But if you’re going to click one roundup, make it this one. These products have the irresistible combination of great reviews from PCMag’s product experts and deep price cuts on coveted tech like MacBooks, LG monitors, and Dyson headphones.

We gave an Editors’ Choice award to the 2023 MacBook Pro in our glowing review, gushing over the powerhouse portable’s unmatched performance for creative apps of all types thanks to the generous RAM loadout, super-capable processor and sterling industrial design. The snappy keyboard and responsive trackpad make it a joy to use, and the bright, crisp Retina display gives you unmatched color accuracy. The biggest surprise, though, was the battery life, which we tested at over 30 hours of continuous use between charges. A 30% discount is the deepest we’ve ever seen on this model.

Here’s a massive 40% price drop on a peerless gaming monitor that brings everything you need for lightning-fast gaming. Although QHD is a lower pixel resolution than full 4K, on a screen this size you’ll be hard-pressed to tell the difference. We gave this screen an “Excellent” rating in our review, with writer Zackery Cuevas saying that it was “rock-solid in just about every way” and noting its blisteringly fast refresh rate, respectable connectivity options, and a swiveling stand that lets you swing it into portrait mode easily.

One of the best home security deals we’ve seen in many a moon is this 50% price drop on the Blink Outdoor 4 camera with dual-LED lights. We have a full review of this unit, but in short it couldn’t be simpler to install, features up to two years of battery life, and has all the features you’d need in an exterior camera, including two-way audio. The LED floodlights are spectacularly bright at 700 lumens. Because it’s a Blink product, it plays nice with Amazon’s Alexa smart ecosystem, sending alerts and footage to Echo Show screens and other devices.

Hisense makes reliable mid-budget sets that hit all the marks you need them to, and with a 40% price cut they deliver massive value for the money. We reviewed the Hisense U6 on sale right now at Amazon and raved about it, noting that it improved on its predecessor thanks to a new mini-LED backlight delivering sharp, crisp contrast and vibrant colors, while input lag was very low. The only criticism we had was the screen’s brightness, which tops out at 591 nits—still perfectly fine for most rooms, just a little soft for full sunlight glare. This model uses Amazon’s Fire TV streaming platform, which is idiot-proof and runs quickly.

One thing we love about the mad geniuses at Dyson is their commitment to exploration. Not satisfied with vacuums and hand dryers, they’ve expanded their suction-focused product line into hair stylers, air purifiers and even headphones. The Dyson Zone over-ear headphones came out in 2023 and coupled stylish over-ear sound with an air-purifying mask, perfect for the post-Covid public. They were a huge gamble, and at a $700 retail price didn’t find a market, but they’re still fascinating and built to last. In our review, we praised their cooling fan, onboard NO2 sensor and robust companion app, and for 71% off you should pick one up just for fun.
