Apple’s latest M1 Mac mini 512GB gets in on pre-holiday savings
Apple’s latest M1 Mac mini has been virtually absent from our ongoing deal coverage over the past several months, but that changes today as a rare price cut goes live on Amazon. The retailer is now dropping the elevated 512GB capacity model down to $750. This is matching the best we’ve seen this year and is only the second time on sale throughout 2022. It very briefly hit the price back on Black Friday before selling out, and now you can score one last chance to gift the most compact macOS machine with a discount attached before the holidays.
The latest Mac mini sports a compact footprint won’t take up space on your desk, but also lets you plug in a monitor of your choice for fitting in with your workstation’s demands. Its 512GB of internal storage is also backed by 8GB of RAM, as well as a pair of Thunderbolt ports and an HDMI output. And with a new M2 model nowhere to be found in the current lineup, this is the best option out there with such a compact footprint. Get a closer look in our launch coverage.

Holiday pricing drops Beats Fit Pro to all-time lows from $160
Amazon is now discounting nearly the entire collection of latest Beats true wireless earbuds and headphones to the lowest prices of the year. Amongst its latest flagship offerings and more affordable workout companions, our favorite price cut arriving ahead of the holidays has the flagship Beats Fit Pro landing at $160 in several styles. Down from $200, we’ve really only seen this $40 discount emerge during Prime Day or Black Friday sales, with today’s markdown offering one last chance to score a pair for wrapping up this holiday season. The new Kim K editions are also on sale for one of the first times at $180, too.
Beats Fit Pro just launched last fall as the brand’s latest flagship earbuds and have rarely been on sale since. Delivering a workout-ready true wireless design, there’s IPX4 water-resistance and wingtip designs. Those in the Apple ecosystem will find its built-in H1 chip to be the star of the show, enabling Hey Siri support alongside fast pairing and more. Battery life clocks in at six hours, though the companion charging case will bump that up to 24. You can see how all of that stacks up in our hands-on review.
Philips Hue refurb holiday sale starts from $18
Complementing the ongoing mix and match sale, Woot today is now rolling out a collection of refurbished Philips Hue lights and accessories. Shipping is free across the board for Prime members, otherwise a $6 delivery fee will apply. Marking a rare chance to save on some gear that hardly ever goes on sale in the first place, you’ll be able to expand your Siri, Alexa, or Assistant setup with everything from standard light bulb to individually-addressable RGB lightstrips, filament bulbs, and even outdoor smart lighting. Everything is down to the best prices of the year. Our top pick from the sale is marking down the Philips Hue Gradient Ambiance Lightstrip to $105. You’d more regularly pay $180 for a new condition version, with today’s offer marking a new all-time low at $2 under our previous refurbished mention from back in August.
As one of the more recents additions to the Philips Hue ecosystem that launched last fall, the Gradient Ambiance Lightstrip enters as a long-awaited option for bringing addressable RGB lighting into your space. It measures six feet in length and on top of pairing with the greater Hue ecosystem over Zigbee for Siri, Alexa, or Assistant integration, works by itself thanks to Bluetooth connectivity. Get a closer look at the Hue Gradient Ambiance Lightstrip in our launch coverage.
Eve’s latest indoor and outdoor HomeKit Secure Video cameras from $120
Amazon is now offering the Eve Cam 1080p HomeKit Security Camera for $120. While you’d more regularly pay $150, today’s offer is delivering the third-best price to date that comes within cents of the second-best price. We’ve seen it land at 20% off a couple of times in the past, but this is the lowest in a bit.
Equipped with HomeKit Secure Video support, Eve’s foray into the connected camera game delivers 1080p recording, an emphasis on privacy, and an indoor design. Other notable features here include rich notifications, motion alerts that can distinguish between people and pets, and more. While it’s more expensive than other models on the market, it’s been made pretty clear lately that you get what you pay for in terms of privacy. You can learn more in our recent HomeKit Weekly feature.
This leather Apple Watch Series 8 band makes a perfect stocking stuffer
Through the end of the day, OUHENG (99% positive all-time feedback from 2,500+) via Amazon offers its Genuine Leather Apple Watch Band 45/44/42mm for $9.48. Shipping is free for Prime members or in orders over $25. While you’d more regularly pay $13, this offer is delivering the second-best price yet to date at 28% off. This comes within $1 of the 2022 low and is the best we’ve seen in over 2 months. Compatible with every Apple Watch released so far, including the latest Series 8 and even the Apple Watch Ultra, this leather band elevates the look of your wearable from the sport strap that was included in the box. Comprised of genuine leather, the strap also features space gray lugs as well as rugged overall design that’s said to patina over time.
