Labor Day is next week, which means it’s a great time to grab some bargains. HP’s Labor Day sale is on now and running until September 12, offering big discounts on a variety of tech goods. We’ve highlighted some of the best deals on top items, including powerful gaming PCs, stunning monitors, best-in-class laptops, and more. See what’s in offer below… Two-in-ones have become the most popular segment in the tablet market recently, and our favorite machine in this category is the HP Spectre x360—worthy winner of the 2-in-1 Ultraportable award in our Best Laptops 2020 feature. HP is knocking up to $200 off these machines, giving them a starting price of $1,029. In addition to 10th-gen Intel CPUs and up to a GTX 1650 Ti, these convertibles boast one of the best trackpads around and an incredible battery life. Displays come in FHD,4K, and 4K AMOLED variants, and you get a ton of features: a Windows Hello-compatible webcam, a fingerprint reader, Wi-Fi 6, two Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports, a USB-A 3.1 port, a microSD slot, and a 3.5mm audio jack. It also converts into a tablet, of course, which is great for content consumption. The 13-inch version with a Core i7 starts at $1,029, while the 15-inch model starts at $1,399. Those after a cheaper but still powerful laptop should check out the HP Envy 13t, which packs a Core i7-10510U and 8GB RAM for just $949. The Envy comes with everything you’d need in a modern laptop: Thunderbolt 3, USB Type-C, DisplayPort 1.4, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, microSD card reader, and more. For an extra $40, you can upgrade to a touch-enabled display. There’s even integrated privacy screen and 4K options, and the SSD storage comes in 256GB/512GB/1TB sizes. As with most of HP’s laptops, the keyboard and trackpad are excellent, and the design is clean and stylish. It also has a security system that blocks the webcam with a small cover and removes it from Windows Device Manager when you hit F12. After a high-refresh-rate monitor but want more than 1080p? There are few offerings better than the Omen X 27, which combines the gorgeousness of 1440p with the blistering speed and smoothness of 240Hz—it’s no wonder we gave it a massive 95 in our review. Thanks to the Labor Day Sale, HP has knocked $40 off the Omen X 27, so you can grab it for $609. That’s a great price for what is our Best 1440p TN winner and Best for Esports pick in our monitor buying guide. Among the Omen X 27’s many features are Freesync 2, an input lag of nearly zero, and three USB 3.0 ports. It also comes with a limited one-year warranty and you can get another $15 off the price when buying the monitor with a PC. Does size matter? You’ll think it does once you try the Omen X Emperium 65. This absolute monster of a monitor measures 65 inches, bigger than many modern TVs, and boasts a 4K resolution. But it also comes with many features you’d find on a high-end gaming monitor: 144Hz refresh rate, G-Sync, Vesa Certified DisplayHDR 1000, and 384 zones of full direct-array backlight. The Omen X Emperium 65’s impressive specs don’t end there. You’ll find a built-in soundbar for superb audio quality, ultra-low latency, pro-level color accuracy, excellent contrast, and integrated Nvidia Shield for enjoying apps such as Netflix and Hulu in 4K HDR.
