Mac and MacBook deals

Our pick: 2023 Mac mini (M2, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD)

$529 at Amazon (save $70)

Why we like it

At $529, the Mac mini is the most affordable way to get an M2-powered Mac, especially if you already own a monitor. The computer is only months old, so a price cut of just $70 is definitely worth paying attention to, though we did see it nearly $100 off last week. Functionally, it's not all that different from the M1 Mac mini, but it does have a slight edge in processor speed — and its starting price is $100 lower than the M1. At the time of writing, the older gen is actually more expensive than the M2.

iPad deals

Our pick: 2021 iPad (WiFi, 64GB)

$279 at Amazon (save $50)

Why we like it

The best iPad for most people is still the classic one, and at the time of writing, it's about $120 cheaper than its next-gen counterpart. We like the 9th generation because it doesn't come with the bumped-up price of last fall's 10th gen release, instead keeping things firmly in the entry-level tablet range. Despite not being the latest iteration, it still has up to 10 hours of battery life, a 10.2-inch Retina display, and more than enough processing power to get you through most standard tasks.

Our pick: iPhone 13 Mini at Verizon

$0 on select 5G unlimited plans (save up to $600)

Why we like it

Check out Mashable's official review of the iPhone 13 Mini.

The iPhone 14 may be the shiny new(er) phone in Apple's lineup, but the iPhone 13 is by no means outdated. Unlike newer models, you won't need a trade-in to score some savings with this Verizon deal. It'll get you a free 13 mini if you open a new line at Verizon on an unlimited plan.

Our pick: Apple Watch Series 8 (41mm, GPS)

$329 at Walmart and Amazon (save $70)

Why we like it

While it's not an essential upgrade, especially if you already have a Series 7 on your wrist, the latest gen does bring all the fitness features you've come to love, plus fertility tracking and crash detection.

Our pick: AirPods Pro (2nd gen)

$199.99 at Walmart (save $49.01)

Why we like it

Read our full review of the second-generation AirPods Pro.

Although the second-gen AirPods Pro were "not the huge update we were hoping for," as Mashable senior editor Stan Schroeder put it, they still make some nice improvements on the previous gen, which were already a great pair of earbuds. The active noise cancellation is even more effective, and the battery lasts up to six hours. They're only $5 away from their lowest price ever and sold out at Amazon at the time of writing.
