Fabulous Best Buy electronics for Labor Day

By Dan Kricke

Labor Day weekend has a lot going for it — a bonus day off work, grilling (if the weather cooperates) and usually some good social events around town. But, another underrated aspect of Labor Day are the great sales that can be found on major electronics. Just take a look at these deals we found over at Best Buy! And remember, you’ll get 2.5 percent Cash Back on your purchases there, too.

HP Pavilion Slimline Desktop – 4GB Memory – 500 GB Hard Drive ($239.99 down from $329.99)

It’s not every day that you can save nearly $100 dollars on a brand new computer but that’s exactly the case with this HP Pavilion desktop. With 4GB of Ram (expandable to 16) it has plenty of power under the hood, especially for the price. It also comes packed with 6 USB ports, so you won’t lack for space to plug in whatever dongles are laying around your office. With a 500 GB hard drive, you won’t ever lack for space with this computer. And the 1.9 Ghz processor isn’t bad either. Who says the desktop is dead?

Canon PowerShot 12.1 –Megapixel SX280HS Digital Camera  ($259.99 down from $329.99)

This is no simple camera. The Canon PowerShot features 58 predefined shooting situations so you’ll be prepared for whatever environment you’re photographing. Luckily, the PowerShot is equipped with a “Smart Auto” feature that automatically chooses the optimal setting, so amateur photogs don’t have to waste their time taking lousy pictures while they learn the ropes. At 12.1 megapixels, everything you shoot will look crystal clear. And the memory card slot fits Secure Digital, Secure Digital High Capacity and SDXC formats, though no card is included in the package. It even has a GPS tracker so you can geographically take the location of your photos. And that $70 discount is hard to beat.

Samsung – 39” Class LED – 1080P 60Hz HDTV ($399.99 down from $429.99)

The discount on this Samsung TV isn’t as deep as the discount found on the other items in this list, but Samsung makes the finest quality television sets, and they’re worth paying for. This TV is Smart-enabled, meaning it can connect to Netflix, Hulu Plus, Pandora and YouTube without being connected to another box. It has 3 HDMI inputs and a built-in Ethernet port to connect your TV directly to the Internet. You can even create a photo gallery on the TV and share your pictures with family and friends on the big screen.
