The MacBook Air is ultra-portable at just 2.7 pounds. (Amazon)(Amazon)
Here's one Thanksgiving-weekend leftover that's still piping hot: The upgraded 2022 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM is holding on to its Cyber Monday markdown at $199 off, meaning you can score one for just $800. Take it from us, that's a pretty unbeatable price tag. You're effectively paying the same price you would for the 8GB model, but with double the memory, Apple’s lightning-fast M2 chip, a lightweight design and battery life that lasts for days.
Stream shows, chat on video and catch up on emails easily with this Apple powerhouse. Looking for other Apple discounts? There’s no shortage of great options this week.
There's a reason for the hype surrounding Apple AirPods Pro — many reasons, in fact. For starters, they offer rich, crisp sound and superior noise cancellation, allowing you to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more without outside commotion getting in the way. This model also allows you to control the volume simply by swiping the stem, and you'll even receive four pairs of silicone tips in different sizes for customized comfort. At $189, this is the cheapest we've seen them!
Never lose your luggage, purse, car, keys — anything, really — again. Just attach one of these smart tags to the item you want to track, and you'll be alerted to its whereabouts via your phone. The deal on this four-pack brings each tag down to about $16 (they typically retail for $25 to $30 a pop). Grab a few for your, er, forgetful family members...

Ready for some Apple picking? Yes, we realize it's not fall, but you'll want to pluck this bad boy from the ol' Amazon tree and add it to your cart because it's currently down to its all-time lowest price — and this is the most recent version! As the unofficial Goldilocks of tech (less bulky than a laptop but larger than a smartphone), this tablet keeps you connected on the go or at home, and you can use it for everything from reading books to taking notes to watching videos.
Broida named this the "best overall tablet," owing to its "under-the-hood improvements, including a faster processor, more RAM (4GB instead of 3GB), Bluetooth 5.0 (up from 4.2) and a USB-C charging port."

Don't need a full-size laptop but want a versatile screen for reading, streaming movies, browsing social media and more? Check out this Apple iPad Mini. It has an advanced A15 Bionic chip (meaning it's powerful and fast), has 64GB of memory storage, offers all-day battery life and has a small, 8.3-inch liquid retina display screen. It's also on sale for its lowest price ever at 25% off.
"My bigger iPad Air recently just broke so I was debating between getting another or getting the iPad Mini. I am so happy that I chose the Mini," said one shopper. "I love that it is light enough to carry around wherever I go but still has a bigger screen than my phone so I can do work/school on it. I have also been reading on it a lot and think that it is the perfect tablet for reading."
This MacBook Air has the same amount of RAM (16GB) that comes standard on the newest MacBook Air, without the high price tag.
Sales on Apple products are hit and miss (often more miss), but this MacBook Air is a surprising $199 off, marking one of the lowest prices we've seen.
When it comes to high-performance laptops, there's a reason the MacBook Air is always in the conversation. In addition to some truly impressive specs, it comes with a Liquid Retina Display that makes everything — text, colors, video and so on — remarkably clear, crisp and vibrant. This model has a 13.6-inch screen, but there are larger options if you need more space.
You can bump up your storage to 512GB (though that does cost more). There's a front-facing camera for video calls and meetings that captures content in 1080p resolution — that's high-def. If you have an iPhone or iPad, all three devices are designed to work together seamlessly. Transfer content from one to the other with ease, or open a webpage on your laptop and keep reading on your phone when you leave the house.
This MacBook Air gets up to 18 hours of battery life on a single charge, and at only 2.7 pounds, it's easy to grab and go. Apple's M2 chip is particularly efficient, giving this computer some of the best staying power of any Apple device on the market.
Over 2,800 reviews have awarded this model five stars — not unexpected for a MacBook.
"I had never considered a Mac before, I was a lifelong Windows user," said one convert. "I'm setting up for part-time freelancing. ... I took the chance, and couldn’t be more pleased! Not only have I not slowed it down yet, but this fan-less machine base [hasn't] even gotten warm once! Super-fast feather-light workhorse! I'm still getting used to the [operating system] but that's been easier than I thought as well."
"I did a massive amount of research on what I would need in a computer," said another buyer. "I mostly use one for Word, Excel and financial documents. I needed a computer that would be in my budget, would be fast and effective, but also would meet all of my needs for maintaining my household and doing different projects for work and school. This has fit the bill beautifully. It runs well, has an amazing screen and picture, and is so much faster than my previous one!"
Another fan raved: "Love how slim and lightweight this is. If you own an iPhone, the integration is perfect. You can manage your messages, calls and emails on this device. Everything syncs up beautifully! ... I am shocked at how fast this machine moves and what quality the hidden speakers are. Phone calls and FaceTime are flawless. The new webcam is a welcome upgrade and the notch for it is subtle. The trackpad and keyboard are top-notch and respond perfectly. This is worth every penny. ... No more Windows stuff for me."
"My children are using these for their school and sometimes to play online games," a parent shared. "They had never used a Mac before but had used iPads, and had a small learning curve for these and were quickly comfortable using them on a daily basis."
Of course, even MacBooks aren't perfect. "This laptop is much more powerful, light, sleek and the keyboard is great," wrote another shopper. "My only gripe is that, when closed, the lid is slightly not lining up with the base. It is off very slightly."
"Expensive but the best," said a final fan. "Probably one of the better Apple light-duty laptops [I've] owned in last couple decades. Apple laptops are expensive compared to Windows products. The annualized life-cycle cost is higher than comparable non-Apple products because Apple makes their expensive products vintage too quickly (seems like planned obsolescence)."
