If you’re looking to score a professional MacBook for as affordable of a price as possible, today’s discount on Apple’s original 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro is hard to beat. It’s down to just $1,250, thanks to a $749 price cut. Did we mention it has 16GB of RAM? It comes joined by the first discount on Twelve South’s new ButterFly charger at $104, not to mention these all-time lows on just-released eero Max 7 mesh systems. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Save $749 on Apple’s original 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro
Woot is now offering Apple’s original 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro for $1,249.99 Prime shipped. Delivery will run you $6 without an Amazon membership. This refurbished model is down from the original $1,999 price tag, and the price matches the all-time low set only once before. It’s the first discount since back in October when it first landed at today’s best-ever price and has now returned to close out the year. See why it was previously our Apple product of the year.
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 much of the same 14-inch Liquid Retina XDR Display as its M3 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 new ButterFly charger sees first discount
We just took a hands-on look at the new Twelve South ButterFly, walking away impressed by how premium the package is. In what feels like a true MagSafe Duo successor, the charger is an even better buy now that it’s on sale. Twelve South is offering an exclusive chance to save on the all-new release, dropping the ButterFly to$104 shipped when code 9TO5MAC has been applied at checkout. This is the first chance to save and a new all-time low on the just-released accessory. It just began shipping this week after going up for pre-order earlier in the month and arrives just in time to make the delivery by the Christmas cutoff.
If you’ve been yearning for a compact 15W MagSafe charger and Apple Watch dock, then the Twelve South ButterFly is the accessory of your dreams. It features an all-metal construction that pairs an aluminum exterior with some leather accenting in order to power up both iPhone 15 and your wearable with Apple Watch fast charging. The 2-in-1 design can fold closed and magnetically snap together when not in use, and it completely wowed us in our recent hands-on review.
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 applied 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, as 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 ultracapable 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.
Logitech’s latest Crayon iPad stylus with USB-C hits $55
If you’ve been looking for the perfect affordable iPad stylus, the latest Logitech Crayon is seeing one of its first discounts today. Courtesy of Amazon, it drops down to $54.95 shipped. You’d more regularly pay $70, with today’s offer not just marking only the third chance to save, but also a new all-time low at 21% off. This is the new and improved model that takes all of the budget-friendly design of the original and makes it compatible with many of Apple’s newer iPads thanks to USB-C. Head below for all of the details and how it compares to Apple Pencil 2.
Logitech Crayon is one of the more affordable iPad stylus that we’d actually recommend, and features support for the latest iPad Pros, iPad Air, and iPad mini. It takes a bit of a no-frills approach in some regards, like having a physical on and off switch, but does offer 7 hours of writing or drawing time per charge. There’s palm rejection tech, as well as the same pixel-precision as on Apple Pencil.
Anker’s PowerCore 24K power bank hits $92
Anker’s PowerCore 24K Power Bank is still one of my favorite pieces of tech in my everyday carry, and now it’s at the best price ever. Amazon is carrying over the Black Friday savings with a new all-time low at $92 shipped. The power bank normally sells for $150, and is now $58 off. It’s an extra $8 under previous mentions and the first time it has ever dipped below $100.
Anker’s portable battery quickly won over our hearts at 9to5Toys, as well as our readers too after launching last year. It arrives as the brand’s most capable solution yet with a 140W USB-C PD output, which lets it effortlessly refuel an M1 Pro MacBook, as well as iPhones, iPads, and more without breaking a sweat. There’s also a built-in display for monitoring charging stats in real time. Once again, be sure to get the full story in our Tested with 9to5Toys review.
