Retailers have started offering widespread Labor Day discounts across many product categories. Deals cover WIRED-tested technology, home office essentials, gadgets, mattresses, outdoor gear, and back-to-school laptops. The Sony Bravia 7 II delivers an immersive picture with natural, vivid colors and strong picture processing, while showing room for improvement in black levels and port selection. The Apollo Go electric scooter balances features and price with a 46-pound frame, 28 mph top speed, app-adjustable performance, turn signals, a bell, and self-healing tires. A recommended Android tablet provides about 20 hours of battery life, a 100-minute recharge, and an included stylus for note-taking.
Labor Day is not until September 1, but retailers are already offering oodles of Labor Day deals. The unofficial end of summer, a celebration of the American worker's contribution to our national prosperity, brings with it bargains on WIRED-tested gear, including home office essentials and some of our favorite gadgets. For the next couple of weeks, we'll be cruising and perusing for the latest true discounts on the gear we recommend to our friends-and rounding them all up for you below.
The Sony Bravia 7 II has been on sale for this price for a little while, but we have yet to see it drop lower. It's in our Best TVs buying guide as the pick with the most immersive picture. It has natural yet vivid colors and excellent picture processing. Reviewer Ryan Waniata says it renders 4K and HD scenes "so clearly you'll feel like they're going to spill into your living room."
Our favorite electric scooter, the Apollo Go manages to strike an excellent balance between features and price. It weighs 46 pounds and has maximum speeds of 28 miles per hour, though you can tweak top speed, brake strength, and acceleration response in the app. It also has a few extra features like turn signals, a bell, and self-healing tires. We haven't seen it sell for less.
