Mac and MacBook deals

Why we like it

Check out Mashable’s official review of the 2021 MacBook Pro.

This is not an everyday laptop, so it doesn’t come at an everyday price. But for people who want to multitask while editing photos or videos, room-filling speakers, a battery life that’s built to last, and the workflow that only a 16-inch Liquid Retina XDR display can provide, the latest MacBook Pro is the way to go.

iPad deals

Why we like it

While the casual tablet user might not need an iPad Pro, artists and creative will appreciate the processing power that this iPad’s M1 chip provides. Factor in the Liquid Retina XDR display and the 128GB of built-in storage, and the record-low markdown on this iPad somehow gets even better.

Apple Watch deals

Why we like it

Is it the most exciting Apple Watch deal we’ve ever seen? No, but it’s always nice when the latest Apple Watch, with its blood oxygen and ECG sensors, support of bike workouts, and ample screen space takes a $70 price cut. (It often sits at only $50 or even $30 off.)

Are the only over-the-ear AirPods ridiculously expensive? Yes. But do they offer excellent audio quality and good battery life in a stylish package? Also yes. And they’re back down to their Black Friday price, which happens to be their all-time low price, in every color but pink and green.

Other Apple accessories deals

Why we like it

If you’re not so much a fan of the AirPods Max but still want a pair of headphones with great noise cancellation, the Beats Studio 3’s have got you covered.
