The memory shortage wages on while as we adapt to new prices for the tech we’ve come to depend on. Finding a suitable laptop with ample memory for your needs can feel like a struggle these days. Apple raised prices recently and now even the most affordable MacBook, the MacBook Neo, comes with a list price of $699.
That makes shopping sales feel all the more important these days. With Labor Day quickly approaching, we’re seeing some decent deals on laptops. Are these as good as those we saw about a month ago during back-to-school shopping? Not really. But plenty are still well worth considering. If you’re hobbling along with a slow laptop, check out these deals.

If you’re an artist, create content, or like to game in your free time, the M5 MacBook Pro is a great model. The excellent battery life paired with solid mix of ports makes this a great model for taking along on a day of content creation or a work trip.
This model saw a $300 price hike thanks to RAMageddon, so seeing it at $150 off helps ease the pain a bit.

Like the name hints at, the Lenovo Yoga is a versatile laptop that can sit in a standard position, fold flat for use like a tablet, or get propped up for watching your favorite shows. The $749.99 sale model comes with the Intel Core 7 256v processor, 16GB of memory, and 512GB SSD. The 16-inch display size is nice for not feeling like you’re sacrificing on size but also not hauling around a chunk of a machine.

With two OLED displays, the Asus Zenbook Duo has some unique features going for it that could be perfect for you. There’s standard laptop mode, dual screen mode, desktop mode which moves the two monitors in a side-by-side position, and sharing mode which allows both screens to be in clear view.
If you’re like me and travel with a laptop in addition to a portable monitor, the Asus Zenbook Duo combines the two into one convenient machine with extras. Not to mention the OLED displays make for great viewing.
