The first Labor Day laptop deals have arrived — here are my 10 top picks for HP, Acer, Dell, Gigabyte, and more

We're still a few weeks out from the big day itself, but several retailers have already started their annual Labor Day sales this week.

In fact, tons of excellent laptops are on sale right now if you're looking for a new machine.

I've been scanning through the various listings at my favorite retailers, and both HP and Best Buy have excellent deals on laptops of all shapes and sizes right now.

You can check out my top picks just down below.

Highlights include the excellent Acer Aspire Go for just $549.99 (was $699) at Best Buy , which is an excellent mid-range laptop for covering the basics like working from home or streaming content.

While not a super high-end machine, its combination of a Ryzen 7 chipset, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD is a real selling point at this budget range.

I also like the look of this HP Omnibook 5 at the official HP Store for $679 (was $1,149) .

Not only is this a great price for a machine with 16GB of RAM and a Snapdragon X chipset, but it also comes with a 2K OLED display.

That's a high-end component you don't see anywhere near this price bracket usually.

Finally, if you've got flush pockets, I'd also recommend checking out this Gigabyte Aero X16 gaming laptop for $1,339 (was $1,499) at Best Buy.

Gaming laptop prices have suffered terribly in recent months, but this listing is a rare deal where you can score an RTX 5070 graphics card and 32GB of RAM for well under $1,500.

A great deal.

The 10 best early Labor Day laptop sales Processor: MediaTek Kompanio 540 RAM: 8GB Storage: 128GB You don't always find a laptop with 8GB of memory for under $300, so this Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook really stands out in Best Buy's latest sale.

Other components are good for light use, but that bump to 8GB of RAM will really help with everyday performance and load times.
