HP launches massive Labor Day sale: I've found the 6 best laptop deals that could save you up to $420

If you're looking for a decent laptop for work, college, or just everyday browsing, you're in luck. The official HP Store has just launched its massive Labor Day sale, featuring some of the best prices I've seen this year on the brand's line-up of excellent laptops.

As TechRadar's deals editor, I've scanned through today's sale to find the best offers. In short, there's plenty to consider, and I've rounded up my six favorite laptops below – including everything from super-cheap everyday machines to high-end workhorses.

My choices start with this HP Laptop 15 for just $399 (was $739). It's not the cheapest machine available, but I think it's the best bang-for-the-buck option if you're on a budget, thanks to its speedy Ryzen 5 chipset.

Another fantastic buy is this 14-inch HP Laptop with a Core i5 and 16GB of RAM for $499 (was $699). That's a particularly good option if you want something relatively portable without breaking the bank.

Moving up in price, you'll find excellent options like the HP Pavilion 16 for $699 (was $979) and the HP OmniBook 7 for $879 (was $1,299). The price cuts are really hefty on these mid-to-upper range machines, and both pack enough power to handle more intensive applications.

If you're feeling particularly flush, you could even consider the stunning HP OmniBook X Flip for $899 (was $1,299), which not only features a stunning OLED display but also a handy 2-in-1 design that doubles as a tablet.

HP Labor Day sale: today's 6 best laptop deals

HP Laptop 15z: was $739.99 now $399.99 at HP US

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5-7535HS
RAM: 8GB
Storage: 256GB

<p>If you're on a strict budget, then I'd happily recommend this HP Laptop 15z in the brand's Labor Day sale. It's a very basic model, but you do get a decent chipset in this configuration, which should suffice for not just the basics, but plenty of more demanding applications, too. There are a few cheaper options at HP today, but they tend to have less storage or much weaker chipsets. At $399, I think this is a very fair deal for what you get.

<p>A budget of $500 is enough to get a decent mid-range laptop in the HP Labor Day sales. Take this 14-inch model, for example, which not only comes with a more recent Intel Core 5 chipset, but also 16GB of RAM and a relatively spacious 512GB storage drive. At 14 inches, this one is also a great choice if you need something portable and lightweight, yet still with enough power to handle everyday tasks smoothly.

Processor: Snapdragon X
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 512GB

<p>This OmniBook 5 is a great wildcard choice as it features a Snapdragon X chipset. These processors don't tend to be quite as popular as Intel or AMD due to weaker software support, but they are a fantastic choice for the vast majority of users. You get great bang for the buck here, especially when it comes to battery life, which is a real standout feature of laptops with Snapdragon chipsets.

Processor: Intel Core Ultra 7-155U
RAM: 16GB

<p>Moving up in the price brackets, I've got my eye on this heavily reduced HP Pavilion. At $699, the price is right here considering you're getting a combination of an Ultra 7 chipset and 16GB of RAM. These Pavilion laptops are very much the 'sensible' choice, and therefore a great choice if you need a reliable machine with a decent amount of power for work or productivity tasks.

That's an impressive line-up of specs, and perfect if you need something powerful for demanding productivity tasks. With a 1TB SSD, you're also getting plenty of space on the drive here.
