Best Back to School Deals for Labor Day

September 5th, 2011 by Kenneth Butler, LAPTOP Web Producer/Writer

Most of the kids are already back in the classroom, but for some, Labor Day weekend is the last hurrah. To commemorate the end of the season, we gathered a few last minute deals from LogicBUY.com that should be snapped up faster than contraband in a Catholic school hallway.

Our list includes new mainstream-sized notebooks that are well equipped to handle take-home tests and at-home entertainment, two Android tablets for work and play, and an affordable 3D Android smartphone to keep them in touch.

At 1.5 pounds and 10 inches, the Eee Pad Transformer is smaller and lighter than many notebooks, but can perform almost all the same tasks. This Android 3.0 tablet is designed to work with a sold-separately keyboard dock, making it useful for taking notes in a classroom or editing papers on the fly. The slate comes with 16GB of onboard memory and a 1200 x 800 pixel touchscreen display, plus a 1-GHz dual-core processor ensures it can handle tasks like editing documents in Polaris Office, a software suite that's compatible to Microsoft Office. Get it for $375 until September 7.
