Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
M2 Mac mini starts at $499 all-time low
B&H is now offering the best prices yet on Apple’s latest M2 Mac mini. The best place for most to start is going to be with the baseline M2 Mac mini 256GB at $499 shipped. Now clocking in at $100 off the usual $599 price tag, there is nothing entry-level about the performance of this compact machine. It’s matching our previous mention from July and arriving at $50 lower than Prime Day.
If you need some extra power behind a desktop macOS machine, the savings today continue over to the M2 Pro Mac mini. The 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU model arrives packed into the same form-factor as the baseline model above, just with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of onboard SSD storage. It now sells for $1,149 at B&H from the usual $1,299 going rate and is delivering $150 in savings along the way. This is one of the best discounts we’ve seen to date and clocks in at $50 under our previous mention.
We also detail what to expect from the experience in a recent hands-on review.

Sonos One Gen 2 speaker delivers AirPlay 2 at $134
Sonos now offers its in-house refurbished One Gen 2 Smart Speaker for $134 shipped. Down from the original $219 price tag, we typically see the refurbished offerings land at $179. Today’s offer is not only offering a rare chance to score this one in stock, but an even rarer chance to find any additional savings attached. It’s now $85 off and landing at a new all-time low. Sonos One Gen 2 arrives as one of the more standalone smart speakers from the brand, bringing with it some improvements to go with the second-generation moniker. Pairing right to your Wi-Fi or with the rest of the Sonos ecosystem, this speaker can work entirely on its own to stream tunes directly from Apple Music and Spotify, as well as sync with other speakers and soundbars for whole-home audio, immersive home theater setups, and more. AirPlay 2 support makes this particularly compelling for Apple users, as well.

UGREEN 100W Nexode charger with 15W MagSafe falls to new $144 low
After just launching at the end of the month, the all-new UGREEN Nexode 100W USB-C Charger with MagSafe is on sale. Well, technically it was on sale at launch. But now, it’s falling to a new all-time low. Right now at Amazon when you clip the on-page coupon, you can drop the price of the 4-in-1 charger to $144. That’s down from the usual $180 price tag with 20% in savings attached. This new all-time low clocks in at $6 under the original launch discount we saw, too. Get the full scoop in our launch coverage.
UGREEN’s new Nexode 100W charger arrives with an unconventional 4-in-1 design. Normally that would mean having four ports to plug in gear. But with this new release, it actually means having dual USB-C ports, a USB-A slot, and a 15W MagSafe charger on top. All housed within a squared off cylindrical form-factor, the desktop build can top off your iPhone 14 or the upcoming 15 series at its full rate while still having enough juice for a MacBook and other accessories.

elago’s official Amazon storefront currently offers its MS1 MagSafe Charging Stand for $17. Normally fetching $22 or more, today’s offer is now marking a new 2023 low at $50 off. It’s an extra $1 below our previous July mention, and one of the first offers this year, too. Comprised of a premium silicone so as not to scratch your device, this stand has a cone-shaped design that’ll turn your existing MagSafe charger into a more desk or nightstand-friendly dock.
Its compatible with all of Apple’s latest iPhone 14 devices as well as 12 and 13 series handsets, and is a great way to keep tabs on notifications and the like while charging on top of all the newfound StandBy features in iOS 17. You can get a closer look at what to expect in our Tested with 9to5Toys review of elago’s similar MS2 stand.
Philips Hue filament bulbs start from $29
Amazon is now offering a rare chance to save on Philips Hue’s popular filament smart bulbs after on-page coupons have been clipped. Shipping is free across the board. Our favorite has the A19 Smart Edison Bulb at $29. Normally fetching $40, you’re looking at a new all-time low with 28% in savings attached. This is the best price of the year at $1 under our previous mention, too.
Detailed below, the whole list of Philips Hue filament bulbs arrive 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.
