2. Save $200: This awesome laptop with a gorgeous design
The HP Spectre x360 model is an extremely beloved laptop here at Reviewed. We’ve tested out many editions over the years, but the 13t—a.k.a. the most recent variant that HP has released—is, quite simply, jaw-dropping. From its seriously beautiful display to the user-friendly design, we couldn’t stop raving about this computer in our 2020 review. The 13-inch laptop includes impressive features, such as its 10th generation Intel i7 core processor, 512 gigabytes (GB) of storage, 8GB of memory and an integrated graphics card. In testing, the battery lasted just under eight hours. The port selection, meanwhile, consists of two USB-Cs and one larger USB-A. This incredible laptop normally retails from $1,229.99, but when you shop the site’s Labor Day sale, you can snag it for $1,029.99, giving you a total of $200 in savings.

3. $100 in savings: One of our favorite laptops for students
Students on the hunt for back-to-school tech can end their search here: The HP Omen 15, which we hailed as one of the best laptops for students, is currently on sale for $1,549.99, down $100 from its retail price of $1,649.99. In testing, we liked a lot of the Omen 15’s features, namely, the beautiful display, which boasts a 15.6-inch diagonal full HD screen. It also comes with an edgier, more fun design, thanks to the black shell and red accents. In terms of specs, this model includes Windows 10 Home 64, a 9th generation Intel core i7 processor, 16 GB of memory, 1 terabyte (TB) of hard disk drive (HDD) storage and 512 GB of solid-state drive (SSD) storage.

4. Less than $30: This super durable mouse pad
HP’s massive holiday sale also extends to accessories, like the Omen by HP mouse pad 200, once $31.99, and now $22.20 with the $9.79 discount. (Note that you can get it for $0.21 cheaper at Walmart.) We featured the 100 version (currently out of stock) in our list of the best HP products for at-home studying, as our tester found it to be super comfortable. There are a few differences between the two—for instance, the 200 is less cushy and is made from a harder plastic material, as opposed to the 100's plushy fabric. The 200 also utilizes ultra-low surface friction, allowing you to move the mouse with minimal effort. The consistent surface lets the mouse sensors easily translate your movement, meaning you'll ultimately use less force and effort to click, surf and scroll. Additionally, when you buy select discounted accessories at HP, you can nab another one for 15% off.

According to Jon Chan, our lab manager, this laptop is perfect for those that like to browse the Internet and watch movies. He also noted that the "15-inch display and full keyboard [are] a perfect combo for writing term papers—or not." The HP 15t normally retails from $789.99, but you can shop the site’s massive holiday sale to snag it for $549.99, giving you $240 in savings.
