If the Pumpkin Spite Latte's return to Starbucks didn't already alert you, Labor Day Weekend's arrival certainly will. Fall is coming, whether you're anticipating the season change or dreading it. The unofficial last hurrah of summer, Labor Day is the perfect excuse to squeeze in some last-minute beach days, backyard barbecues, and shopping sprees (obviously).

With tech prices constantly rising, major shopping holidays like Amazon's Labor Day sale are your best opportunity to score the devices you want at a discount. At many retailers, the sales have been underway for days, and we've already noticed all-time low prices on some of our favorite TVs of 2026 and noise-canceling headphones we adore. Plus, we're seeing some of the best discounts on Apple gear and Amazon devices since price hikes went into effect.

Here are some of the best deals we've spotted at Amazon.

$749 Save $100   Get Deal Why we like it

The M4 iPad Air is hands down our top pick for an iPad for most people. While it's incredibly similar to its predecessor, that's not necessarily a bad thing. It features a thin and lightweight build, brilliant Liquid Retina display, insanely fast performance powered by the M4 chip, and Apple's N1 and C1X connectivity chips. Mashable's tech editor says it's powerful enough to handle memory-intensive programs like Final Cut Pro and even goes as far as calling it "way overpowered for most users." It starts at $749 for the 128GB version after the price hike, but for Labor Day, it's $100 cheaper.

Stock is running low across all color options, so grab it before it sells out. Otherwise, the 256GB option is still in stock for just $100 more.

Best Amazon device deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Echo Show 11 $189.99 at Amazon
$249.99 Save $60   Get Deal Why we like it

Amazon surprised everyone with a monstrous price hike across all of its Fire TV, Kindle, and Echo devices earlier this month. This is the first big sale since the price hike, so we're happy to see many of these devices still getting the deal treatment. The Echo Show 11 is down to $189.99, which is $30 cheaper than its original price before the increase. Dubbed Amazon's "most advanced smart displays yet," the Echo Show 11 features the new in-house AZ3 Pro chips and Omnisense technology for AI-based, highly personalized experiences. There's also front-facing stereo speakers, a custom woofer for spatial audio, ambient visuals that adapt to your environment, and a built-in 13-megapixel camera that can recognize faces.

It's been out less than six months, but it's already our top pick for a QLED TV for most people. That "SQD" in the title stands for "super quantum dot mini LEDS," which is a lot of tech jargon for extremely bright quantum dots. Mashable's TV expert calls it one of the brightest TVs you can buy, period, shouting out its "superb peak brightness, detailed picture quality, and fantastic glare handling." The 65-inch model clocks in at $2,499.99 on a normal day, but it's down to a best-ever $1,397.99 at Amazon for Labor Day — a 44% discount.

These headphones have been replaced by the XM6s, but like most modern tech, the upgrades are iterative. "The XM5 headphones hold up well in 2026, and they're still worth the investment, especially when they're on sale," Mashable's reviewer writes. They offer 30 hours of battery life, an attractive design, legendary ANC, customizable sound quality, and good call quality. The only thing we aren't crazy about is that they don't fold up for travel. Originally retailing for $400, they're now much more affordable at under $200. For comparison, the newer XM6s are right around $400 on sale.

These Mini PCs offer AI Performance and Retro Designs

How-To Geek - Mon, 09/07/2026 - 14:00

You don't have to buy a Mac Studio or RTX Spark system to get a mini PC that excels at AI. Acemagic used IFA 2026 to launch and showcase a raft of its latest compact desktops, including a fresh workstation based on AMD's Gorgon Halo chip, a premium Intel Panther Lake model, and even a pair of models with not-so-subtle tributes to classic Nintendo consoles.

Which stores are open on Labor Day 2026? See the list of whats open today.

Mashable - Mon, 09/07/2026 - 13:52

I write about holiday sales for a living, and somehow, I still managed to forget that this Monday is a federal holiday until about an hour ago. If you also just realized that Labor Day 2026 is literally this Monday (where does the time go?), don't worry!

Here's a complete list of what stores are open and closed this Labor Day.

What stores will be open on Labor Day?

Banks, schools, and the DMV may shut down, but most businesses stay open on Labor Day so they can cash in on the sales. That said, it's always a good idea to double-check your local store hours, especially if you plan to shop later in the day.

SEE ALSO: 40+ Labor Day deals: We found limited-time deals on TVs, mattresses, Apple, and more to shop this weekend Groceries and big-box retailers

  • Walmart: The big box retailer is open with regular hours; Walmart typically operates from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.

  • Target: The bullseye store will also be open, generally from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., though local times may vary (check out the Target 2026 Halloween collection)

  • Warehouse clubs: BJ's Wholesale Club is open during regular hours from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m; Sam's Club is open, but locations will close early at 6 p.m. local time. Unfortunately, Costco will be closed, however.

  • Trader Joe's and Whole Foods: Trader Joe's is operating normally from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Whole Foods locations are open but will have modified holiday hours, usually around 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

  • Aldi: Open, but locations will operate on limited hours from 8:30 a.m. and close early at 6 p.m.

  • National and regional supermarkets: Kroger and its family of stores are open, though their pharmacy hours might vary. Regional grocery chains, including Stop & Shop, ShopRite, ACME, Foodtown, Lidl, and Wegmans, will also operate on open schedules. Wegmans locations will be open from 6 a.m. to 12 a.m., while Stop & Shop is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

  • Apple: The Apple store should be open if you need to grab a spare charger or fix your iPhone. However, if you're looking for the best Labor Day Apple deals, you'll need to shop online.

Hardware, department, and specialty stores

  • Hardware stores: Home Depot and Lowe's are open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., though Home Depot hours can vary slightly by location. IKEA is also open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

  • Department stores: Best Buy, Kohl's, Macy's, Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, JCPenney, Old Navy, Burlington, Boscov's, and Marshalls are open with regular hours.

  • Discount and dollar stores: Five Below, Goodwill, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, and Family Dollar are all open and running normal hours.

  • Specialty and hobby stores: Barnes and Noble, Bath & Body Works, Bass Pro Shops, Dick's Sporting Goods, Petco, PetSmart, REI, and Ulta Beauty will all be open with normal hours. Hobby Lobby is open, but operates on reduced hours from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

  • Pharmacies: CVS and Walgreens storefronts are open. However, most Walgreens pharmacies and select CVS pharmacies will be closed, except 24-hour locations.

What restaurants are open on Labor Day?

If you're not the BBQ, cookout type (I get it) and you'd rather not spend the day cooking, most major restaurant chains and fast-food drive-thrus are open with regular hours nationwide.

  • Fast food and coffee: Starbucks, Dunkin', McDonald's, Taco Bell, Chick-fil-A, and Burger King are generally open, though individual franchise hours can vary slightly on holidays.

  • Sit-down dining: Chains like Applebee's, Chili's, Olive Garden, Texas Roadhouse, Outback Steakhouse, and Cracker Barrel keep their doors open to handle the holiday weekend crowds.

SEE ALSO: Labor Day 2026 deals: Score free food from Cheesecake Factory, Krispy Kreme, 7-Eleven, and more What's closed on Labor Day?

The general rule is that if it's a government building, a bank, or a membership warehouse that isn't Sam's Club or BJ's, it's closed.

  • Costco: Costco is closed on Labor Day.

  • Government offices: Federal, state, and local administrative offices, including courts, the DMV, and public libraries, are closed.

  • Schools: Public schools and universities are closed.

  • Banks: Branch locations are closed, but ATMs and online banking will still be available.

  • Financial markets: The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq are closed.

  • Mail services: The USPS will not pick up or deliver regular mail, though Priority Mail Express will still run. UPS and FedEx will not have standard ground pickup and delivery services on Labor Day, though their critical/express services and some FedEx Office locations might have modified operating hours.

Best Labor Day Apple deals: We found AirPods starting at $99 and iPads for $399

It's no secret that tech prices are getting out of control, thanks to RAMageddon. Apple has increased the costs of most of its popular gadgets (with more price hikes to come), so any excuse to save some money is welcome. Enter Labor Day Weekend sales.

Ahead of the iPhone launch event this week, Amazon, Best Buy, and other major retailers are offering Labor Day deals on Apple products. Notably, iPads and iPhones are up to $150 off, while MacBooks are up to $500 off. You can even grab AirPods starting at just $99.

While we don't anticipate Prime Day-level discounts, though that would be wonderful, we've collected all of the best Labor Day Apple deals in one place. Don't forget that Apple is widely expected to announce new AirPods Pro, iPhones, and Apple Watches on Sept. 9, and so retailers may be making room in their warehouses for a ton of new products.

If you're looking to buy a new iPad, the M4 Air is our top pick for most people. It's not all that different from its predecessor, but that's not a bad thing (we loved the M3 iPad Air, too). The latest version packs an insanely powerful M4 chip, a thin and lightweight build, a brilliant Liquid Retina display, and Apple's N1 and C1X connectivity chips. It's honestly almost too powerful for most users, with enough oomph to handle memory-intensive programs like Final Cut Pro. Yet, its price tag isn't quite as stunning as the iPad Pro. For Labor Day, the base model with WiFi connectivity and 128GB of storage is down to just $649. It's selling out quick at Amazon, but luckily, Best Buy is matching the $100 discount.

While we regularly see solid deals on unlocked Android phones, unlocked iPhone deals are few and far between. So finding the iPhone Air at Best Buy for $150 off (with any storage capacity) is a big deal. Mashable's reviewer dubbed the iPhone Air Apple's "sexiest iPhone" to date. It's thinner than you can fathom, yet packs a gorgeous OLED display and a surprisingly good camera. With the inevitable iPhone price hikes coming, snagging the iPhone Air for less could be an even better value than you realize.

$2,999 Save $299.01   Get Deal Why we like it

The M5 Pro MacBook Pro jumped $300 earlier this summer, so this discount at Best Buy reduces the hit from that price hike ever so slightly. Granted, the MacBook Pro with an M5 Pro chip is definitely overkill for most users — especially this model with boosted specs (24GB RAM and 1TB storage). Still, it's a great pick for graphic designers, editors, or programmers with heavy workloads. Besides the powerful M5 Pro chip, specs include Apple's N1 wireless chip, a brilliant 3K mini LED display, a 120Hz refresh rate, and three USB-C Thunderbolt 5 ports.

Even though the AirPods Pro 3 were marked safe from Apple's price hike, that doesn't mean you should buy them at full cost. The premium Apple earbuds have been jumping around in price this past week, but they've finally settled on a $199 price tag heading into Labor Day Weekend. That's $50 cheaper than usual.

Mashable's reviewer called the Pro 3's "a remarkable upgrade in functionality over their predecessors, with better battery life and ANC, as well as a new heart rate sensor." They're some of our favorite noise-cancelling earbuds overall (and we've tested a ton).

Once again, Apple's newest generation of AirTags didn't bring a whole lot of changes, but why fix what isn't broken? The second-gen AirTags have improved range, slightly louder notifications, and the same affordable price tag. If you're a frequent traveler or tend to lose things often, they're a must-have. And at under $80 for a four-pack, they're a total steal right now.

Best Labor Day laptop deals to beat RAMageddon: Hand-picked deals on Apple, HP, and Dell

Mashable - Mon, 09/07/2026 - 13:38
The best Labor Day laptop deals at a glance: Best MacBook deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M5, 24GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $1,699 (save $100) Get Deal Best Windows laptop deal HP OmniBook 3 16 (Snapdragon X, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $599.99 (save $550) Get Deal Best Chromebook deal Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 (MediaTek Kompanio Ultra, 12GB RAM, 256GB UFS) $579 (save $170) Get Deal

The ongoing memory crisis means higher prices for the tech we've come to depend on. Laptops have been hit especially hard by "RAMageddon," with PC makers like Dell, Lenovo, and Acer raising prices to reflect rising component costs. Even Apple marked up its MacBooks by at least $100 apiece this summer. (Gone are the days of the $599 MacBook Neo.)

The current state of the market makes shopping sales feel all the more important. Your last big chance to snag a deeply discounted laptop before Black Friday comes with this weekend's Labor Day sales. Below, we've rounded up the best Labor Day laptop deals we could find, including discounts on MacBooks, Windows laptops, and a very nice Chromebook we've tested.

$1,799 Save $100   Get Deal

The 13-inch M5 MacBook Air is our favorite MacBook for college students, as it's super portable and a little cheaper than its 15-inch brother. It's a fabulous ultraportable with a crisp, colorful display, amazing speakers, and blazing-fast performance. This upgraded model, with 24GB of RAM and a terabyte of storage, should last you well past graduation. Amazon and Best Buy currently have it on sale for $1,699, or $100 off.

Heads up: If you have a valid student ID, you'll get $100 off and a free $100 gift card if you buy this MacBook directly through the Apple Store during its Back to School sale (live through Sept. 24). However, it won't ship until late September or early October. If you need it sooner, Amazon (with Prime) and Best Buy were both advertising next- or two-day shipping at the time of writing.

The OmniBook 3 16 is a slim, big-screened laptop with a mind-blowing battery life of over 40 hours per charge. It's the longest-lasting laptop we've ever tested in more than a decade of reviewing laptops. Just note that its Snapdragon X processor is best for everyday productivity tasks, not intensive app usage. This configuration with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage (a good daily driver combo) is 48% off at Staples for Labor Day. For reference, HP's website lists the same model at $90 more.

This premium Chromebook boasts an 18-hour battery life and a silky-smooth touchscreen display that can flip around 360 degrees. It makes a great MacBook Neo alternative for ultra-casual users who want a laptop that doubles as a tablet. Ahead of Labor Day, it's significantly cheaper than the Neo: Best Buy has it marked down to $579, or 23% off. That more than erases its $50 price hike from May.

Summer is officially coming to an end, but Labor Day is finally here. While saying goodbye to summer feels a bit sad, the cooler weather is rolling in, and we've got one final long weekend to kick back and save before fall sets in.

If you're looking for a seasonal refresh, big-box retailers are offering huge discounts across almost every category. It's the ideal time to upgrade your mattress, stock up on outdoor gear during the REI Labor Day Sale, or grab a 4K TV just in time for kickoff ahead of the NHL and NFL seasons.

We won't see discounts this big again until Black Friday, so now's the time to act — especially with tech and appliance prices continuing to climb. We're tracking the best Labor Day deals live all weekend long across Apple, TVs, mattresses, laptops, and home essentials.

The Apple iPad Air with an M4 chip is something to behold. It's a step up in performance from the previous M3, and it's super lightweight and thin. It's also powerful and smart enough to handle intense programs like Final Cut Pro, making it a great option for creators and artists.

Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth reviewed the M4 iPad Air and wrote, "Artists and note-takers will definitely appreciate this one."

For Labor Day, the Queen-size DreamCloud Classic Hybrid Mattress is marked down to $699, which is up to 60% off.

It's a 12-inch hybrid that balances comfort and support, using a cooling fiber cover, an inch of pressure-relieving memory foam, and individually wrapped coils so you don't feel it every single time your partner tosses and turns. You also get a 365-night home trial and a "Forever Warranty" so you aren't stuck with it if you hate it.

If you're upgrading your whole setup, I highly recommend grabbing a base while you're at it. I actually have the Bamboo Platform Bed Frame they have on the site, and it genuinely only took me 20 minutes to put together.

If you're hunting for the best Labor Day TV deal to carry you through football season and winter movie nights, the 65-inch TCL QM8L is down to $1,397.99 at Amazon, which is the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon.

Instead of cutting corners to hit a price point, this panel delivers high-end specs: 4,000+ local dimming zones and up to 6,000 nits of peak brightness eliminate haloing, so dark scenes look black rather than washed-out gray.

You're also getting a native 144Hz refresh rate for live sports and gaming, a 7000:1 contrast ratio, built-in Audio by Bang & Olufsen, and Google TV built right in, so you aren't fighting three different remotes just to open an app.

This Samsung OLED G5 gaming monitor gets a $150 Labor Day price cut on Amazon

Mashable - Mon, 09/07/2026 - 13:14

TL;DR: The Samsung 27-inch Odyssey OLED G5 (G50SF) gaming monitor is on sale for $349.54 at Amazon, down from its $499.99 list price. 

Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung 27-inch Odyssey QD-OLED G5 Gaming Monitor (G50SF) $349.54 at Amazon
$499.99 Save $150.45 Get Deal

OLED gaming monitors are gradually becoming less of a drag on one's upgrade budget, with Amazon’s new Labor Day price drops making it possible to get one of Samsung’s newer Odyssey displays for under $350. 

As of Sept. 7, the Samsung 27-inch Odyssey OLED G5 (G50SF SKU) gaming monitor has dropped to $349.54 on Amazon, shaving $150.45 off its $499.99 list price for a 30% discount. In addition to Amazon selling and shipping the monitor directly, you’ll also get the retailer’s standard free 30-day refund or replacement window. 

For that price, Samsung is packing in a 27-inch 2560 x 1440 QHD screen built around QD-OLED technology, giving darker scenes the richer blacks and stronger contrast you’d expect from an OLED panel. HDR10 is also supported, and the Pantone Validated display is rated to reproduce more than 2,100 colors.

The G5 isn’t just improving rounds of Fortnite or sessions of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered through boosts to image quality, either. The 180Hz refresh rate over DisplayPort is paired with a 0.03ms GtG response time. At the same time, NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility and AMD FreeSync help smooth out frame-rate mismatches in fast-paced games, including Counter-Strike 2.

Samsung has also fitted the monitor with its Glare Free coating, which the company says is 54% less glossy than conventional anti-reflection film. What’s more, the OLED Safeguard adds extra measures, including thermal modulation, logo and taskbar detection, and a screen saver to help reduce the risk of burn-in.

This new Excel feature saves me from digging through change history

How-To Geek - Mon, 09/07/2026 - 13:00

I often open an Excel spreadsheet and wonder what has changed since the last time I used it. Sometimes I've made the changes myself and simply forgotten what I did, and other times, someone else has edited the workbook. Either way, figuring out what happened can mean digging through the spreadsheet's history.

That's an excellent discount on a robot vacuum we love (it's currently our pick for the best budget roller mop), but considering its 'limited time deal' tag, it may not be marked down for long beyond Labor Day today. If it's caught your eye, now is the time to add it to your shopping cart.

With its ability to tackle carpets and hard surfaces, the Eufy C28 is a versatile combo cleaner to have zooming around your house. It's 15,000 Pa suction, paired with a DuoSpiral brush to handle long hair and prevent tangling, and it clears crumbs, dust, and debris on your floors. It even boasts LiDAR navigation that helps it steer clear of obstacles as it cleans, so nothing can slow it down while it's on the move.

Mashable's Leah Stodart had plenty of praise for the Eufy C28's mopping capabilities as well, writing in her review that "When it comes to big spills and dried stains, the Eufy C28 is easily the most efficient robot mop in the $600 to $800 price range I've ever tested." According to the store page, it also self-cleans while mopping, with a built-in scraper that deposits dirt into a separate tank. Plus, the mop auto-lifts when it hits carpet, so there's no need to worry about them getting wet.

Don't let this Labor Day deal pass you by. Act fast to save on the Eufy C28 robot vacuum and mop at Amazon.

Everyone looks forward to Labor Day — not just for the public holiday but also for the deals. Right now, Amazon is leading the charge with its own Labor Day sale, cutting prices on tech, TVs, and lots more.

One category we like to watch during any sale event is robot vacuums. And there's a good reason for this: Robot vacuums are one of those awesome luxury items that usually cost a little too much for an everyday purchase. It's always worth jumping on the robot vacuum deals as and when they crop up. And we've found a great Labor Day price drop on the Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal robot vacuum.

As of Sept. 7, the Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal robot vacuum is down to $749.99, a massive $550 savings off the regular list price of £1,299.99. That's a full 42% discount.

The Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal is a 2-in-1 model that can vacuum and mop, powered by high suction power and hypersonic technology. The standout feature of his robo-vac, however, is in the name: a UV light system that works with RGB sensors to find hidden messes and spillages. That makes this model especially good for homes with pets.

Additionally, it uses Neuronav AI technology to map out your own path and find its way around independently. All you need to do is set up schedules via the app and put your feet up while it does the dirty work.

The Labor Day deals won't last forever, and $550 off the Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal is a deal not to miss.

TL;DR: The Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Bundle is on sale for $52.88 at Amazon, down from its $69.99 list price.

$69.99 Save $17.11 Get Deal

Labor Day has delivered another sizable cut across the trading card market among Magic: The Gathering's Marvel Super Heroes lineup, with Amazon pushing one of the expansion's more accessible boxes well below $60.

As of Sept. 7, the Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Bundle has fallen to $52.88 at Amazon, taking $17.11 off its $69.99 list price for a 24% discount. Not only is that $6.11 cheaper than the previous $58.99 Amazon low we spotted in August, making this the best price we've seen from the retailer so far — confirmed by our go-to price tracker, camelcamelcamel.

Better still, this isn't a marketplace listing — Amazon is both selling and shipping the Bundle directly. On the other hand, sales are marked as final on this one, so only pull the trigger if you’re 100% sure you won’t want to return it. 

Be that as it may, TCGplayer can save you even more, as long as the dedicated trading card selling platform doesn’t bother you. At its estimated market price of $36.86, you can pay as little as $44 total when shipping is taken into account.

No matter which you buy from, you’ll get nine Marvel Super Heroes Play Boosters containing 14 cards apiece, working out to around $5.88 per booster before factoring in everything else. Each pack carries one to four cards of Rare rarity or higher and one Traditional Foil card.

You also get 30 Basic Lands — split between 15 Traditional Foils and 15 non-foils, including 10 full-art cards — plus an alternate-art Traditional Foil Scarlet Witch promo, an oversized Spindown life counter, storage box, and two reference cards. 

Among other MTG deals, you can also pre-order Magic: The Gathering’s Star Trek Play Booster Box at $10 on Amazon right now.

It's Labor Day, folks, and you know what that means: The unofficial end of the summer, a public holiday, and plenty of deals. We can absolutely recommend the stacks of deals available as part of Amazon's Labor Day sale, which includes price drops on all kinds of tech, TVs, and lots more. Here's one that's caught our attention — a $100-plus discount on the popular DJI Mini 3.

As of Sept. 7, the DJI Mini 3 is down to $315, saving you $104 from the list price of £419. That's a generous 25% discount. It's not this drone's lowest ever price on Amazon, but it's flying pretty close.

As the name suggests, the DJI Mini 3 is little — a palm-sized device that weighs just 249g. But it's also kind of mighty, with robust wind resistance, a transmission distance of 10km, and the capability to shoot 4K footage.

In terms of actual footage capture, the DJI Mini 3 comes equipped with DJI's range of video features and flying tricks. It has a Dronie mode for drone selfies, a self-explanatory Circle mode for circling subjects, plus a spiraling Helix mode and a Rocket mode that focuses on a subject below as the drone zooms up vertically. All of which means you'll have a blast using this camera drone.

It doesn't have obstacle avoidance, so you'll need to control it manually. But that's all part of the fun. DJI is the name in drone tech, and this one is perfect for casual use and beginners.

The Labor Day deals are live right now at Amazon, so don't miss the opportunity to get over $100 off the DJI Mini 3.

While this Hisense TV boasts a stunning 4K resolution Hi-QLED display with native 144Hz refresh rate for viewing - bringing out deep colors, clarity, and smooth performance in the movies, shows, and games on its screen - it also doubles as an art TV (and our favorite budget art TV, to boot). That means when you're not using it to watch shows or play games, you can display pieces of art or photography on it. With their anti-glare displays, these pieces can be shown off without reflections getting in the way, too. It creates a canvas-like effect, hence "CanvasTV".

Plus, this Hisense TV is a Google smart TV. So, if you're someone who's subscribed to multiple different streaming services, you can easily access all of them right from the home screen.

Labor Day deals may not last long after today, so now is the time to jump on this excellent Hisense 55-inch Hi-QLED S7 CanvasTV deal at Amazon.
