The MacBook Air is ultra-portable at just 2.7 pounds. (Amazon)(Amazon)
It's hard to deny that MacBooks are stellar laptops, even if you aren't an Apple fan. The built-in protection against malware and viruses makes them a popular choice for someone who wants a computer that just works, day in and day out. The problem? They're expensive. But take note: Right now, the 2022 MacBook Air is up for grabs at $300 off. That's its lowest price ever.

If you have a little more to spend on an Apple wearable, the Series 10 is worth the investment. It boasts an always-on Retina display and comes with useful features like ECG apps, a fitness tracker and more. And while the Series 11 has just been released, it sports the same processor, same design and nearly all of the same features. In other words, you're getting the bulk of the 2025 Apple Watch here, but at the 2024 discount.
"I upgraded from a Series 5," said this watch wearer. "The battery life is phenomenal, I can literally go two days without charging. When I do have to charge it, it's full in about 30 minutes. The price is on par for the quality. The health sensors are nice. I know I have sleep apnea and never got around to taking care of it. The watch notified me after about a month of use and provides data to bring in to the doctor's office."
Never lose your luggage, purse, car — anything, really — again. Just toss one of these inside the item you want to track and you'll be alerted of its whereabouts via your phone. The deal on this four-pack brings each tag down to about $20 (they typically retail for around $25 a pop). Grab a few for your, er, forgetful family members!
Never fight with your family members over power outlets again. This electrifying gadget boasts five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their devices at once. Oh, and this top-seller is so much sleeker than having a power strip on your floor (and there's no way you'll trip over it). No, it's not the most massive discount, but I've yet to see this top-seller on sale for less.
Planning any road trips? This popular power station is an absolute steal at $350 off. With a massive 1,070 watt-hour capacity and multiple ports, it's perfect for powering everything from your camping gear to essential appliances during a power outage, and this is the best price I've seen in marked down to months.
Prefer a smaller tablet over a bulky laptop? This one's on sale for its best price ever. Our tech writer Chris McGraw says, "Think this is just a slightly larger version of your phone? Think again. With a 3:2 aspect ratio compared to the iPhone's 2:1, the iPad Mini is much wider and, for those who use their tablets to read, can fit more text and feels more like a book or magazine in your hand. Speaking of fitting in your hand, it's much less cumbersome than the full-size iPad, making it great for travel or slipping into a backpack for your commute."
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."

What more can we say? At 30% off, this is the lowest price we've seen on this MacBook Air. Ever. Though this is an older model, it's plenty capable for most day-to-day tasks, whether you need it for work or play.
When it comes to high-performance laptops, the MacBook Air is always in the conversation for a reason. Not only does it have truly impressive specs, but it comes with a Liquid Retina Display that makes everything, from text to colors, especially clear and crisp. This one has a 13.6-inch screen, but larger options are available.
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 take just about anywhere. Apple's M2 chip is particularly efficient, giving this computer some of the best staying power of any Apple device on the market.
Almost 900 reviewers 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 fanless 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 my computer 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 computer!"
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 use them 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)."
