Mac deals

OUR TOP PICK: MacBook Pro (M1, 512GB) — $1,349.00 (save $150)

It's a big week for the MacBook Pro — there's officially a new model. But new releases (and Apple products in general, tbh) tend to get pricey quick. If you want more than the bare bones, this 2020 MacBook Pro still offers the speeds of the M1 processor and plenty of storage space without even approaching the $2,000+ price tag of the new Pros.

OUR TOP PICK: 10.9" iPad Air (WiFi, 256GB) — $639.00 (save $110)

Thanks to its design and A14 chip, the iPad Air travels well and can handle heavy work loads, two features that are very nice to have in a tablet. Out of all the 2020 iPad releases, Mashable tech reporter Brenda Stolyar crowned it as the best thanks to its "sheer versatility." Plus, with all the color options, it's cute as hell.
