Best Labor Day 2021 laptop & electronics deals



CNN
—  

Nothing signals the end of summer like kids going back to school, pumpkin spice lattes returning to Starbucks and, of course, Labor Day sales. Today we’re focusing on the latter, as the upcoming holiday is shaping up to host enough fantastic deals on electronics to make Black Friday blush.

While Labor Day proper doesn’t hit until Sept. 6, many of its best offers begin several days before and last long after the three-day weekend has wrapped. With that in mind, we’ve scoured the internet to compile a tech-focused list that’ll point you to the best prices on laptops, gaming gear, smartwatches and more.
