Best Apple MacBook deals
What’s so great about the Apple MacBook Air? Glad you asked! First of all, it's on sale for $100 off at Amazon. And second, it's got the new (and incredibly speedy) Apple Octa-core M1 processor, 8GB of memory, 256GB of on-board storage and the latest version of macOS Big Sur. That makes it an absolute powerhouse.
"Bought this laptop because I needed an upgrade from my heavy MacBook Pro. I needed something super light and thin [so I can] just bring it everywhere and slide it in my bag," shared a wowed Amazon shopper. "I am obsessed with how fast this MacBook Air is. The battery life is on point. I used it for movies and series at work and it lasted for three days. The processor is so good. I open so many tabs at once and it has not lagged on me."

Best Apple iPad deals
The Apple iPad Air (64GB, Wi-Fi only), on sale for $570 — is the 'just right' model in the iPad family. It's speedier and more powerful than the entry-level model, thanks to its A14 Bionic chip (compared to the standard's A12 chip), and it's more compact and lightweight than the iPad Pro, coming in at just a pound, versus the Pro's heftier 1.41 pounds. It might not seem like a lot, but when you're schlepping it around for hours in end, you'll feel the difference.
"...It's a bit faster, a bit thinner, a bit lighter, and a bit shinier than all the tablets I've used before," shared a satisfied Amazon shopper. "But, taken altogether — and taken along with the second-generation Apple Pencil — it feels like an entirely new experience. I haven't been this struck by a new device in a while..."

Best Apple AirPod deals
At the top of the earbuds food chain are the Apple AirPods Pro. This model features noise-canceling capabilities, plus silicone ear tips for a more secure fit. Amazon has knocked $59 off the price, bringing the AirPods Pro down to $190, from $249.
These pro-level buds have earned a flawless rating from tons of Amazon reviewers. Said one happy shopper: "Apple hit a home run with these...With the AirPods Pro, Apple has answered my prayers, and they're even better than I could have imagined. The sound cancellation is LEGIT.... The ability to switch from noise canceling to transparency mode is awesome as well."

Best Apple-accessory deals
The deliciously wireless Apple Magic Keyboard is on sale for just $112 at Amazon. Shoppers love its epic battery life and the numbers pad on the keyboard's right side.
“Having the numeric keypad on this keyboard makes it a huge improvement,” raved a shopper. “What is more amazing is the battery life. I charged it 100 percent when I initially connected it to my MacBook. I have used it every workday for more than five weeks, even taking it on a trip with me because its so thin and light. It currently has 67 percent remaining on the battery. If this holds up, that means i will have to charge it about 4 times per year.”

Best Beats by Dre deals
Down from $150 to just $80, the Beats Powerbeats Wireless Earphones make life — and fitness — easier. With a brilliant 15 hours of battery life per charge, they’re always ready to go. And even if, by some chance, you do let your Powerbeats run out of juice, you're okay — a quick five-minute charge gives you enough juice for a full hour of playback. It’s called Fast Fuel, and it’s awesome.
Secure-fit ear hooks keep them in place no matter what — they won't fall out of your ears like some other wireless earbuds. Outdoorsy? No sweat — these earphones are water-resistant.
"I love these for outdoor running or exercise," raved a five-star Amazon reviewer. "I like the cable around the back to hang on my neck when not actively listening to anything. These are not noise-canceling but do limit some outside noise... these allow you to keep up with what’s going on around you (like a car behind you) and still have great sound.... The battery life is awesome. I only recharge maybe once a week, but use these almost every day."
