The affordableness of the entry-level M2-powered MacBook Air is a nice feature (for a Mac, of course). However, this lower cost comes with a drawback: It is simply not powerful enough for creative work that is more difficult. Fortunately, with today's $500 discount on the 14-inch MacBook Pro, you can buy a laptop that is a powerhouse for content creation at a price that is closer to the M2 Air's entry-level price.
With 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, the M1 Pro-equipped laptop is currently on sale at Best Buy for $1,599 (with a $400 discount), which is just $100 more than purchasing the M2-equipped MacBook Air with 512GB of storage and half the RAM. In addition, the 14-inch MacBook Pro has a better battery life, a more attractive Mini LED screen, and supports up to two external displays instead of just one. Even though the M1 Pro model from 2021 isn't as fast as the new M2-equipped MacBook Pros, it is still blazing fast and, at this price, a lot cheaper. Read our review of the Macbook Pro 2021.
Alternately, if the MacBook Pro is too expensive and you don't need all that power, you can save $100 by purchasing the Apple M2-powered Mac Mini at Amazon for $699.99. That is a new all-time low for this configuration, which has 512GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, a CPU with eight cores and a GPU with ten cores.
Overall, the new Mini is faster than the M1-equipped model before it, and it has enough power to complete even light video work. It is a good desktop for everyday computing. In addition, it boasts features that are ready for the future, such as Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E, as well as HDMI 2.0 output, an Ethernet port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and other ports. Just keep in mind that the Mac Mini does not come with a keyboard, mouse, or monitor, so you will need to bring your own. Read our M2 Pro-powered Mac Mini review.
If you're looking for a good pair of wireless noise-canceling earbuds, Amazon's second-generation Echo Buds with a wireless charging case are currently on sale for $99.99 at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which is just $10 below their all-time low. At Target and Amazon, you can also get them for $79.99 (saving $40) with a wired charging case.
The earbuds are a good value because they combine good sound quality with effective noise cancellation. They also come with features like a great passthrough mode for when you need to hear what's going on around you. Although their noise cancellation may not be as effective as that of more expensive earbuds like Sony's WF-1000XM4, they are still able to adequately reduce noise. In addition, you can use your voice to control smart home devices and make music requests thanks to their support for hands-free Alexa commands.
We have a reasonable setup for Nintendo Switch sweethearts who head out frequently and like to connect their control center to a television or other huge screen. The Genki Covert Dock is currently available for purchase from Genki for $59.99, saving you $15. The accessory has multiple ports and functions as a pocketable version of the standard Switch dock, making it easy to take with you wherever you go. That includes outputs for USB-C and HDMI in addition to a single 30W USB-C PD port. The dock also comes with three international adapters to top it all off.
At Amazon, the 8BitDo Pro 2 Wired Controller for Xbox and PC is discounted by $5 to $39.99 if the Xbox One or Series X/S is your primary gaming console. That is a small discount, but it is one of the best prices we've seen for the pro-grade controller, which has a pair of remapping buttons on the back and many of the same features as the wireless controller we reviewed for the Nintendo Switch. An Android or iOS app lets you adjust the vibration, trigger, and stick sensitivity of the controller, and a 3.5mm port lets you connect headphones or headsets.
At Best Buy and Walmart, the physical copy of Super Mario Odyssey is currently discounted by 23 percent to approximately $37. This makes the deal on the 2017 Nintendo Switch classic today even more affordable than the one we saw last week during Mario Day.
The Sonos Arc SL, one of the company's refurbished products, is still available for $679, saving you $170 over the retail price. The Sonos Arc SL is the mic-less version of the home theater soundbar that also works well as a great music speaker. It pairs well with newer 4K televisions.
At Woot, the Leather iPhone Wallet with MagSafe by Apple is currently available in a variety of colors for just $26.99, which is a 32 percent discount. The wallet has built-in magnets so that you can snap it onto iPhone 12 and later models to store up to three credit cards.
The Echo Show 15 from Amazon can be purchased from Best Buy, Kohl's, and Amazon for around $194.95. You will need to purchase a separate remote for the smart display, which has a large screen that mounts to your wall and can serve as a Fire TV streaming device. Check out our review.
