The Best Laptop Deals for September 2022

Labor Day is one of the best times to save between now and Black Friday. But you don’t have to wait until Sept. 5; you can take advantage of some Labor Day deals right now.

If it’s been a few years since your last laptop purchase, chances are you haven’t yet stepped into the speedy new world of the solid-state drive. A laptop with an SSD is going to be sturdier, quicker to call up files, and less prone to damage or data loss, which is why we recommend them for a machine that’s going to be moving from classroom to coffee shop (or just from home to the office and back again). 

Screen resolution, processing power, and other peripherals are also always getting better each year, so a new laptop could improve your computing experience in pretty much every way. Also worth noting is that with the new round of M2 MacBook Airs that released, there are savings on older Apple devices. Even if you don’t see any M1 Air or 13-inch M1 Pro models on sale at the moment, one might pop up at any time. 

August is a prime time to buy a computer considering merchants are offering strong Labor Day discounts. Cut through the noise with these deals:
