Mac and MacBook deals

Our pick: 2020 MacBook Air

$799.99 at Best Buy (save $200)

Why we like it

Check out Mashable’s official review of the MacBook Air.

While we’ve seen the MacBook Air have some pretty decent markdowns in the latter half of the year, this $200-off deal is one of the best we’ve ever seen on a laptop that boasts top-notch portability, 18-hours of battery life, and M1 power. Best Buy’s deal only lasts until the end of Dec. 14 and Amazon is sold out of this laptop as of the time of writing, so if you’re looking to upgrade, you’ll want to act quick.

iPad deals

Our pick: 2021 12.9″ iPad Pro (WiFi, 128GB)

$999 at Amazon (save $100)

Why we like it

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

This iPad comes loaded with an M1 chip, meaning it’s up to more intense tasks like editing high quality video footage or rendering 3D models. Basically, it’s your best bet for an iPad that could feasibly be used as a laptop. While it might not be the best option for the casual user, for creatives that need their tablet to handle a little heft, this tablet is definitely worth a second look. If you are shopping for the holidays, it is important to note that this iPad is not expected to arrive until after Christmas, but hey, sometimes the best things are worth waiting for, right?

Why we like it

If you’re picking up some new phones for more than one person this holiday, it’ll be difficult to find a better deal than this buy one, get one on the iPhone 13 Mini at Verizon.

Our pick: Apple Watch Series 7

$349 at Walmart (save $50)

Why we like it

As if we didn’t have enough evidence of this “unprecedented” holiday shopping season, Apple’s latest smartwatch is down to its lowest price ever at both Walmart and Amazon, beating its Cyber Week price by about $30. You can grab the watch with a higher charging speed, bigger watch face, and increased workout support at both retailers and it should arrive in time for Christmas. At the time of writing, Amazon had sold out of the midnight color.

Apple accessories deals

Our pick: AirPods Pro

$179 at Amazon (save $70)

Why we like it

Check out the official Mashable review of the AirPods Pro.

While they are a bit pricier than they were during Black Friday, $70 off some of the best noise-canceling earbuds out there is a pretty stellar deal, especially if you’re already deep in the Apple ecosystem. We anticipate that just like years past, these will be a hot holiday pick, so if you catch them out of stock, they’re also available at Walmart for a mere 99 cents more.
