Labor Day Sales Offer Deep Discounts on Apple Devices and Laptops

CNN Underscored’s senior deals editor Rikka Altland notes that retailers are rolling out “wall-to-wall” price cuts on Apple’s latest lineup as the holiday weekend approaches. The outlet’s guide highlights discounts on 22 Apple products, including recent releases of AirPods, MacBooks, AirTags, Apple Watches and accessories. Altland’s team cross-checked price histories and coupon codes to confirm that the reductions represent some of the year’s steepest savings on Apple hardware.

ZDNet’s shopping roundup lists a range of laptops with notable markdowns. Kerry Wan reports an Apple MacBook Pro M5 (14-inch) priced at $1,849, an 8 % discount off its regular $1,999 list price. Cesar Cadenas highlights a Samsung Galaxy Book 6 at $1,399, a 44 % cut from $2,499, and an HP OmniBook 5 (16-inch) at $858, down 40 % from $1,469. Additional deals include an MSI Cyborg laptop for $1,049 (16 % off), a Lenovo LOQ 15 gaming laptop at $1,529 (7 % off), and a Lenovo IdeaPad priced at $749, saving $940 off its original cost. Kyle Kucharski notes a Dell 14 Plus at $1,619 (saving $150) and a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 at $499 (saving $400). ZDNet’s editors emphasize that these reductions are typical of the Labor Day period, when retailers clear inventory ahead of fall refresh cycles and the upcoming Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales window.

Across the featured Apple and laptop selections, discount rates range from 7 % to 44 %, with the deepest cuts appearing on older or soon-to-be-replaced models. The Apple MacBook Pro discount (8 %) is modest compared with the 44 % off the Samsung Galaxy Book 6, reflecting differing inventory pressures.

Both outlets advise shoppers to verify price histories and coupon availability before purchasing.

Retailers plan to extend Labor Day promotions into the week preceding the holiday, with early sales already live on major platforms such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and Costco. The discounts are expected to taper as new product generations launch later in the fall, after which Black Friday and Cyber Monday will become the primary sales events.
