Mac

OUR TOP PICK: MacBook Air (M1, 256GB) — $849.99 (save $149.01)

Mashable Tech Reporter Brenda Stolyar praised the M1-powered MacBook Air for its battery life, “silky smooth performance,” and affordability. And that was before the price dropped $150. Naturally, a killer deal on Amazon’s best-selling laptop comes with some high demand — as of right now, only the gold is available, though silver should be in stock soon. If you don’t want to wait, all three colors are available at Best Buy.

We’ll cut to the chase, because if you want this iPhone 12 BOGO for yourself and someone else (maybe getting some early holiday shopping out of the way), you’re going to want to act quick — this deal is only on through Oct. 11. However, even if you’re looking at this later in the week, you can still trade-in to get a free iPhone that, while it isn’t the newest model, still has a powerful A14 chip, MagSafe charging, and 5G connectivity.

Accessories

OUR TOP PICK: AirPods 2 — $109.99 (save $49.01)

Admittedly, the AirPods have gone quite some time without an update (though hopefully that should change soon). Despite their 2019 release date, they still look sleek, have a pretty decent battery life, and remain a solid pair of wireless buds that work especially well for Apple users. If you’re not interested in waiting for a new model or paying new-model prices, snagging these AirPods for just over $100 wouldn’t be the worst move.
