Monday’s best deals: 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro $199 off, Belkin MagSafe gear, more

All of today’s best deals are headlined by $199 off 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro models at Amazon all-time lows. That’s alongside a rare chance to save on Belkin’s new 3-in-1 MagSafe charging stand at $127 and Apple’s M1 MacBook Pro at $449 off. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

M1 iPad Pro all-time lows arrive at $199 off

Amazon is now starting off the week by dropping prices on Apple’s latest 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro by an extra $99 at checkout. The savings kick off with the 128GB Wi-Fi model, which now rests at an $900 all-time low. That’s down from the usual $1,099 price tag, beats our previous mention by $99, and is a rare chance to score this kind of $199 discount. The same savings apply to higher capacity models, as we detail right here

Apple’s latest iPad Pro provides the most compelling experience yet from iPadOS with a long list of notable features, headlined by a Liquid Retina XDR display with 1,600 nits of peak brightness and ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate. That’s of course alongside an M1 chip to power the experience which is backed by Thunderbolt connectivity, Wi-Fi 6, Apple Pencil support, and Face ID. So if Apple’s newer and less capable iPadOS device won’t cut it, today’s price cuts make it a little more affordable to step up to the pro side of the lineup. Dive into our hands-on review.

Belkin 3-in-1 MagSafe stand with Apple Watch fast charging sees first drop

Earlier this summer, Belkin refreshed its popular 3-in-1 MagSafe Charging Stand with support for Apple Watch fast charging. Now we’re seeing the very first discount go live on the recent release, with Belkin currently dropping the price to $127. Normally fetching $150, this is your very first chance to save on the new accessory with 15% in savings delivering a new all-time low. 

With MagSafe at the center of the nightstand or desk upgrade, this 3-in-1 Belkin charging stand features a 15W magnetic stand perfect for topping off your upcoming iPhone 14, as well as existing iPhone 12 and 13 series devices. Off to the side is an Apple Watch charging puck that has been refreshed to support the new fast charging found on Series 7 and 8 models, as well as a 5W Qi pad underneath for AirPods and the like. Our launch coverage details what’s new, and you can get a closer look at the experience of the original in our hands-on review.

Save $449 on Apple’s M1 MacBook Pro

Joining the ongoing price cuts on the latest macOS machines from Apple, this week is now seeing a new all-time low go live on the previous-generation 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro 512GB at $1,050 courtesy of Best Buy. Originally fetching $1,499, today’s offer amounts to $449 in savings, is $50 under our previous mention, and the best discount yet at 30% off. The 256GB capacity is also on sale and hitting the second-best price of $950, down from $1,299. 

Even with the new M2 devices announced earlier in the summer, today’s discounts on the now previous-generation machines arrive as an even better value. Centered around a 13-inch Retina display, the M1 MacBook Pro packs a slim design that’s backed by 17-hour battery life, not to mention a pair of Thunderbolt ports, the Touch Bar and 8GB of RAM as well as up to 512GB of storage. Dive into our hands-on review for all of the details on the Apple Silicon performance gains.

Amazon takes extra 15% off Philips Hue gear

Amazon is launching a new extra 15% off Philips Hue smart home lighting sale today across an assortment of smart bulbs and stand-alone lamps. A particular highlight among all the offers makes this a rare chance to save on the Philips Hue White Ambiance Filament bulbs. These start from $34 and come in a variety of form factors, from your typical A19 socket to globe designs perfect for hanging lamps and more. You’d regularly pay $40 or more, but today’s offers deliver the lowest prices since back at the start of the year and rare chances to save all-around. 

The whole list of Philips Hue filament bulbs arrives with a unique design that’s meant to be shown off instead of hidden behind a lampshade or up in a recessed fixture. Each one packs the usual White Ambiance feature set, including dimmable lighting, adjustable color temperature, and support for Alexa and Assistant over Bluetooth. Throw in the Zigbee integration, and these vintage Edison-style bulbs also work with Siri and HomeKit, thanks to the Hue hub.

Logitech’s recently-released MX Mechanical Keyboard drops to $158

Amazon is now offering the recently-released Logitech MX Mechanical Full Size Wireless Keyboard for$158. Down from $170, this model comes outfitted with the clicky switches that have rarely gone on sale since launching earlier in the year and arrives at the all-time low in the process. This comes within $4 of the lowest we’ve seen this summer from the lineup, though the last discount was on the less-satisfying silent switch option.

Logitech just brought mechanical switches to its popular MX series for the first time at the end of May, and now you can bring home that new typing experience on sale. Sporting a full layout, the keyboard features backlit mechanical switches with native support for Mac and PC out of the box. On top of Bluetooth connectivity, there’s also the included Logi Bolt USB receiver to round out the Logitech FLOW multi-device support. Our hands-on review goes over all of the other highlights, as well.
