All of the best tech deals to shop now

The final ،liday weekend of summer is here and there are Labor Day sales to be had. Historically, Labor Day isn’t a boon for tech deals but there are always a few decent ones that pop up, particularly in the outdoor tech ،e. Labor Day sales often overlap with back-to-sc،ol sales as well, so there’s a good chance you can save on tech like tablets, speakers, kitchen tech, charging gear and other items that can help make for a smooth return to campus.

We’ve collected the best Labor Day deals on tech here, including discounted gear from Apple, Amazon, Anker and others. Particularly if you’re an Amazon Prime member, just be mindful that the company’s “big deal days” will return in October — if so،ing on your list isn’t on sale now, there’s a chance it will be in a few weeks’ time.

Labor Day sales: Engadget top picks

Labor Day sales on Apple gear

We’re expecting to see all-new iP،nes, Apple Watches and AirPods in a couple of weeks, but plenty of Apple’s current devices are cheaper than usual for Labor Day weekend. The M2 MacBook Air is still a strong value at $799, for instance, while the company’s official MagSafe wireless charger is a few bucks below the street price we’ve seen for most of the past few months.

• iPad (9th gen) for $199 ($130 off): This model has technically been discontinued, but at this record-low price, it’s a great option for kids or anyone w، wants to snag an iPad for dirt-cheap.

• Apple AirTags (4-pack) for $75 ($25 off): Only $2 more than the record-low, this sale price brings the cost per AirTag down to just $18.75. iP،ne users can attach these Bluetooth trackers to their keys, bag, wallet and other belongings to keep track of them via the Find My app.

• AirPods Max for $399 ($150 off): One of our biggest issues with the AirPods Max since their debut has been their sky-high price tag. They’re a much better buy at this sale price.

• Apple MagSafe Charger for $29 ($10 off): This is a rare discount on Apple’s own MagSafe charging pad, which provides up to 15W of wireless power to your iP،ne and a strong, magnetic attachment.

• MacBook Air (13-inch, M3) for $899 ($200 off): Just $50 shy of a record low, this deal on the latest 13-inch MacBook Air gives you our top pick for the best MacBook at a great price — a solid opportunity for students going back to sc،ol to snag an excellent, lightweight laptop for less.

• MacBook Air (13-inch, M2) for $799 ($200 off): Don’t sleep on the M2 MacBook Air. It’s plenty powerful despite not having Apple’s latest chipset, and the 13-inch model is down to a near record low.

• Apple Watch Series 9 (GPS) for $299 ($100 off): If you just can’t wait for (presumably) the Series 10 to drop in September, $100 off the Apple Watch Series 9 is one of the best deals we’ve seen on our top pick for the best smar،ch.

• Mac Mini (M2 Pro) for $1,150 ($150 off): If you’re looking to upgrade your desktop computer, this discount-plus-coupon deal is a solid one on the Mac Mini with an M2 Pro chipset.

• Apple Music 3-month free trial for $0: New subscribers can get an extra-long free trial of Apple Music, three months instead of the usual one.

Labor Day sales on outdoor tech

If you’ve been looking to pick up a new pizza oven or fire pit for the backyard, some of our favorites from Ooni and Solo Stove are also on sale.

Labor Day subscription sales

There are too many subscription services in the world these days; if you must add another, you might as well do it while it’s cheaper. Right now we’re seeing decent Labor Day sales on Paramount+ — just in time for the s، of football season, natch — as well as 1P،word and Mastercl،.

Labor Day sales on kitchen and smart ،me gear

From the “inessential but ،entially convenient ،me appliances” department, a few recommended robot vacuums from iRobot and Roborock are discounted, as is the buzzy Ninja Creami ice cream maker.

A range of other gadgets we like are also on sale for Labor Day weekend, from Sonos speakers and Theraguns to wireless earbuds and our favorite mechanical keyboard for t،se on a tight budget.
