Labor Day Deals: WD Red Pro 16TB NAS Drive at $689.99, Dell 2K Touchscreen Laptop at $649.99

Labor Day deals: 16TB WD Red Pro NAS drive at $689.99 and Dell 15.6-inch 2K touchscreen laptop at $649.99, with trade-offs noted by TechRadar.

The WD Red Pro 16TB is built for businesses that need large amounts of reliable NAS storage. It is rated for workloads of up to 550TB per year and continuous 24/7 operation, with a 7,200-RPM spindle, 512MB cache, CMR recording and NASware technology. The drive can be used in RAID-based systems with any number of bays and carries a five-year limited warranty. TechRadar's testing of the WD Red Pro line has been positive: expert Mark awarded four stars to both the 14TB and 24TB versions, praising their resilience and low power consumption. Still, the current coupon cut is only about $15, or roughly 2% off the $704.99 list price. The drive sold for about $270 in late 2025 before prices climbed sharply in 2026, so the deal is recommended mainly for buyers who need immediate capacity. At Newegg, the same $689.99 price requires promo code LDSF324.

Dell's 15.6-inch 2K touchscreen laptop is being offered at $649.99 at Best Buy, a reduction of $450 from its regular $1,099.99 price. The system includes a 13th-generation Intel Core i7-1355U with 10 cores and a maximum boost clock of 5GHz, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, a 512GB PCIe SSD, and a 2K IPS touchscreen. It also has Wi-Fi 6, USB-C, HDMI, an SD card reader and a full numeric keypad. TechRadar says that configuration provides solid everyday performance for under $650, making it one of the best Labor Day laptop deals it has seen. The main limitation is the integrated Intel UHD Graphics, which means the laptop is not suited for gaming or heavy graphics work.

The Dell laptop's display is another trade-off. Its 220-nit brightness and 45% NTSC color coverage make it better for indoor tasks than outdoor or color-sensitive work, and the laptop lacks a backlit keyboard and Ethernet port. The webcam is only 720p. TechRadar notes that this same model was available at $599.99 at Best Buy in August, so the Labor Day discount is not the lowest price ever recorded.
