Check out Mashable’s full review of the M2 MacBook Air.
Older MacBook users looking for the basic everyday machine with the most future-proofing potential, look no further — the M2 MacBook Air checks those boxes beautifully. While it’s not a revolutionary laptop, the M2 power keeps things speedy and the redesign from past gens ditches the tapered look for something a bit more professional feeling, without sacrificing an overall sleek look. Mashable Tech Reporter Alex Perry deemed the Air “just about the ideal work-from-home (or work-from-wherever, really) companion” that has a “dreamy keyboard.”

iPad deals
Why we like it
The best iPad for most people is still the classic one, and at the time of writing, it’s about $130 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.

iPhone deals
Why we like it
Check out Mashable’s official review of the iPhone 13 Mini.
The iPhone 14 may be the shiny new(est) phone in Apple’s lineup, but the iPhone 13 is by no means outdated.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.

Apple Watch deals
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. You’ll want to grab it at this price while you can — between Walmart(opens in a new tab) and Amazon(opens in a new tab), every basic colorway is on sale.

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. At the time of writing, you can grab these buds just $5 above their lowest price ever at pretty much every major retailer.
