Apple’s latest 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro sees $170 discount
Amazon has a new all-time low on Apple’s latest 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro. The entry-level configuration with 512GB of storage and 8GB of RAM now sells for $1,429 for the new Space Gray style. That’s down from the usual $1,599 price tag and marking only the third chance to save since being released back in November. Today’s deal is of course a new all-time low like we said, but beats our previous mention by an extra $20 in order to save you $170. Best Buy is stepping in to offer a little extra for its paid membership subscribers with a drop to $1,399. We also just took a hands-on look at how the new Space Black package from Apple stacks up.
Apple is back with its latest MacBook Pros, refreshing the same physical form-factors with improved performance. You’ll find a familiar and best-in-class Liquid Retina XDR display with ProMotion 120Hz refresh rates and P3 wide color gamut support, but this time there’s extra brightness that climbs up to 1,600 nits. Then there’s the new M3 chip this time around, which marks the company’s first 3nm processor so far.
It has an 8-core CPU at the base, and comes backed by a 10-core GPU with its companion 16-core Neural Engine, all of which combines to offer Apple’s best performance yet from a mobile chip. Otherwise, there’s still Thunderbolt ports, an 8K HDMI output, and SD card slot.
Save on Eve’s new Flare smart lamp with HomeKit and Thread
Amazon is now offering one of the first chances to save on the new Eve Flare Smart Lamp at $89.99 shipped. It just launched with Thread support and now when you clip the on-page coupon you can save $10 from its usual $100 going rate. This is only the third discount Compatible with Siri and HomeKit right out of the box, the new Eve Flare is delivering the same overall package as before – just now with Thread! The portable lamp features an IP65 water-resistance rating and can illuminate your space with multicolored light for six hours at a time. On top of the Thread support, there’s also Bluetooth connectivity, too. We break down what to expect in our launch coverage.
Belkin’s 15W 3-in-1 MagSafe Stand down to $117
Amazon is now offering the latest Belkin BoostCharge Pro 15W MagSafe Charger for $117. This is marking the second-best price to date after dropping from its usual $150 going rate. We last saw it on sale for $3 more a few months ago, and now it comes within $2 of the all-time low at Amazon. Did we mention it also arrives by Christmas? This is one of our favorite 3-in-1 MagSafe chargers on the market, and has also risen to be one of the better StandBy-ready solutions out there. We previously walked away impressed after taking a hands-on look at what to expect in a recent review, too.
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 new iPhone 15, as well as existing iPhone 12, 13, and 14 series devices. Off to the side is an Apple Watch charging puck that has been refreshed to support the new fast charging found on the latest wearables including Series 9, as well as the previous-generation Series 7 and 8 models. Then below you’ll find a perfect spot for AirPods and any other true wireless earbuds.
There’s still time to gift USB-C AirPods Pro 2
There’s still time to gift Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 at one of the best prices yet. If you missed out on the Black Friday sale last month, you can now score the latest flagship earbuds for $199.99 shipped on Amazon. This is $49 off the usual $249 going rate and landing at the third-best price to date. It’s within $11 of the all-time low set just once before. The second-best price by comparison is $199. We break down exactly what’s new with the updated pair over in our coverage, too.
Even though USB-C is now found on the charging case to go alongside MagSafe support, it really is the software features that rolled out earlier in the fall that make AirPods Pro 2 the best earbuds yet from Apple. Now outfitted with Adaptive Audio that dynamically adjusts noise based on your surroundings, the AirPods Pro 2 also can automatically turn on Transparency mode when it detects you’re talking to someone.
The earbuds also deliver all of the same features as the original pair, as the new AirPods Pro 2 now arrive with some improvements like enhanced audio playback to pair with the upgraded ANC and new adaptive transparency mode tech. There’s still Spatial Audio support, as well as Hey Siri integration, just all packed into a refreshed charging case with USB-C, Find My features, a built-in speaker, and lanyard loop. All of that is powered by the latest Apple H2 chip, as well.
eero Max 7 Wi-Fi 7 mesh systems see first discounts from $540
Amazon just debuted its new eero Max 7 Wi-Fi 7 systems earlier this fall at its September hardware event, and now you can save on them. The retailer is finally offering the first chance to save of any kind on the new release, taking 10% off three different packages to upgrade your home network. The single eero Max 7 Router sells for $539.99 shipped with the price cut applying once it has been added to your cart. Today’s offer is $60 off and a new all-time low from the usual $600 price tag. It’s the only price cut so far like we mentioned above, and arrives just in time to refresh your home internet ahead of 2024.
All of the eero Max 7 deals today:
- 3-node Mesh System: $1,530 (Reg. $1,700)
- 2-node Mesh System: $1,035 (Reg. $1,150)
- Single node Mesh System: $540 (Reg. $600)
The new eero Max 7 is notably Amazon’s first release into the world of Wi-Fi 7 routers. We haven’t seen all too many of these hit the the scene period, and now the company is looking to get out ahead with an ultra-capable mesh networking solution. The new systems all arrive centered around routers that pack 2,500-square feet of coverage.
You’ll be able to take advantage of up to 9.4 Gb/s of total throughput on wired connections, while wireless speeds can hit as high as 4.3Gb/s. There’s also support for as many as 200 devices connected at a time. That’s truly allocating for the smart home age we live in, and then some, and the pair of 2.5GbE slots only double down on its future-proof design. But then there’s also a pair of 10GbE ports for good measure to make these some of the most capable consumer-grade Wi-Fi systems around.
