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.

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.
