Labor Day laptop deals to beat RAMageddon

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.
