Apple’s 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro is now an even better value, dropping to a new all-time low of $1,250. It’s joined by another previous-generation Apple discount, with 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro now on sale from $910. And one of the best StandBy charger discounts yet is here with Twelve South’s HiRise 3 MagSafe stand at just $60. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Save $749 on Apple’s 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro
Woot is now offering the best price yet on Apple’s 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro. Those who don’t need Apple’s newer M2 version can now score the previous-generation MacBook for $1,249.99 Prime shipped. Delivery will run you $6 otherwise. This is down from its original $1,999 price tag and saving you $749 in the process. It’s well below our previous $1,550 mentions, and a new all-time low. See why it was previously our Apple product of the year over at 9to5Mac. Includes a 90-day warranty. Head below for more.
Delivering the previous-generation of Apple’s most capable portable machines to date, the higher-end M1 Pro series provides even more value than the new debuts. Everything starts with the same 14-inch Liquid Retina XDR Display as its M2 counterpart that’s backed by the higher-end chip as well as ProMotion 120Hz refresh rates and 1,600-nit peak brightness. Then you’ll find a 10-core CPU, up to 17-hour battery life, and the triumphant return of MagSafe charging all packed into an updated frame.
Twelve South’s HiRise 3 provides a home for iPhone 15 and more
Amazon now offers the Twelve South HiRise 3 for the best price yet. This is one of our favorite 3-in-1 charging stands on the market, and now it sells for just $60. That’s a $40 discount from the usual $100 price tag and marking a new all-time low. We last saw it sell for $75, with today’s offer beating that by an extra $15. This is a personal favorite in the world of 7.5W MagSafe chargers, which I detail over in my hands-on review. It’s even better with StandBy support now in the mix, too.
Designed to accomodate your entire Apple kit, Twelve South’s new 3-in-1 charging stand is centered around MagSafe tech with a 7.5W pad resting on an elevated stand. Right behind the main iPhone 15 charger is a place to rest your new Apple Watch Series 9, all of which sits above a 5W Qi pad on the base for topping off AirPods and the like.
Apple’s 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro now starts at $910
Woot is now marking down an assortment of iPads in both new and refurbished condition. As per usual with the retailer, shipping is free for Prime members – with a $6 delivery fee applying otherwise. An easy standout has the 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro Wi-Fi 256GB marked down to $910. It would have normally set you back $1,199, and is returning to the all-time low for one of the first times. Today’s discount stacks up to $289 in savings and undercuts what you’d pay for the new M2 model by an extra $230.
Even now that the new 2022 model has been around and kicking it as the latest debut from the lineup, the now previous-generation iPad Pro still provides a compelling iPadOS experience. Everything comes centered around 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 and its Thunderbolt connectivity, Wi-Fi 6, Apple Pencil support, and Face ID. So if the differences between the new M2 and older M1 models aren’t all that important, today’s discount is a notable way to bring home a flagship tablet for far less. Dive into our hands-on review.
ZAGG’s new Pro Stylus 2 with magnetic charging for iPad Pro
Amazon is now offering one of the first discounts on the new ZAGG Pro Stylus 2. It’s now dropping down to$56.49 shipped from its usual $80 price tag. This is only the second chance to save so far at 30% off, coming within $4 of the best discount ever from a sitewide sale. The new Pro Stylus 2 from ZAGG arrives as a more affordable alternative to Apple Pencil 2. It comes in one of five fun styles that add a bit more color to your iPad Pro setup, with the same magnetic charging tech. On top of support for standard Qi chargers, there’s also full support for every iPad going back to 2018 – so it’ll work with more than just the Pro series. There’s palm rejection, tilt recognition, and six hours of use on a single charge.
Beats Studio Pro headphones fall to new $180 low
Amazon is now discounting an assortment of offers on the latest Beats headphones and earbuds. Shipping is free across the board. A favorite has the all-new Beats Studio Pro at $179.99. Down from $350, you’re looking at $170 in savings and a new all-time low. This is only the third discount to date, while also beating our previous Amazon discount by an extra $70. Our hands-on review walks you through what to expect.
The just-released Beats Studio Pro arrive as a new flagship in the lineup with an over-ear listening experience and all the bells and whistles you’d expect from that front runner status. Centered around active noise cancellation, there’s also a companion transparency mode to go alongside the even more exciting inclusion of Personalized Spatial Audio and Dynamic Head tracking.
