Summer is coming to an end. While that seems a bit sad, it also means the temperatures cool off and we still have one final long weekend to enjoy before fall kicks in.
Like most long weekends, big retailers are offering special discounts on some of our favorite products. That's great news if you're in the mood for a fall refresh. Consider getting a mattress upgrade if you haven't been sleeping well or browse the REI Labor Day sale to get new outdoor gear to replace anything that's worn out over the summer. It's also a great time to get a new TV ahead of NHL and NFL season.
After Labor Day, we might not see a major sales until Black Friday . In an era when tech prices continue to rise, it could be smart to shop these deals ASAP.

Why we like it
The Apple iPad Air with an M4 chip is something to behold. It's a step up in performance level compared to the previous M3, not to mention it's incredibly lightweight and thin. In addition, it's powerful and smart enough to handle intense programs like Final Cut Pro, making this a great option for creators and artists.
Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth reviewed the M4 iPad Air and wrote, "Artists and note-takers will definitely appreciate this one."

Why we like it
At a massive 44% off, the 65-inch TCL QM8L could be the perfect upgrade for streaming fall TV shows, movies in the winter, and gaming thanks to the 144Hz refresh rate. While it usually sits at $2,499.99, Amazon has it on sale ahead of Labor Day for $1,397.99 which is the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon.
TCL used their DeepColor System technology in this mode for big contrast and deep blacks. Plus, it comes with Google TV built in for keeping all of your favorite streaming apps neatly organized and easy to access.
