Monday’s best deals are taking $299 off Apple’s 27-inch 5K Studio Display at the best price of the year. Starting at $1,300, there are tons of configurations available. All of them come joined by a 1-day clearance sale on iPad Air 5 at $400. Plus, one of the best prices ever is now live on Belkin’s 15W MagSafe charger at $110. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Save $299 or more on Apple’s 27-inch 5K Studio Display
Amazon is now offering the Apple Studio Display for $1,300. This model includes the stock tilt-adjustable stand and drops from its usual $1,599 price tag. It’s only the second markdown of the year and matches our previous mention from February as a chance to save $299 while scoring the best price of 2024. The savings also carry over to other configurations, which we explore below.
Arriving as a new, more affordable version of the Pro Display XDR, the new Apple Studio Display is designed to pair with the Mac Studio and all of the other M3 or Apple Silicon machines. Measuring 27 inches, the 5K monitor is packed with the latest features from Apple including a 12MP FaceTime camera backed by Center Stage. The studio-quality mics and 6-speaker sound system are balanced by the A13 chip. Around back there is a single Thunderbolt 3 port with 96W host charging, as well as three downstream USB-C ports for connecting in peripherals and the like.
iPad Air 5 clearance lands at $400 in 1-day sale
We know that new iPads are coming next week, but in the meantime, Best Buy is clearing out Apple’s latest 10.9-inch iPad Air 5 with a 1-day discount. Right now, you can score the Wi-Fi 64GB model at $400 in several colors. This is $199 off the usual $599 going rate and a match of the all-time low for only the second time. The newer iPad Air 6 might get some minor upgrades, but that’s nothing compared to the value of today’s deal.
Bringing all of the M1 power to a more affordable form-factor, Apple’s iPad Air 5 is an even better value with some savings attached. It notably features 10.9-inch Retina display, with True Tone, P3 wide color, and an antireflective coating being applied to the canvas.
Apple Pencil 2 support is of course onboard, alongside other stables in the iPadOS lineup like Touch ID in the power button and a 12MP Ultra Wide front camera comes backed by Center Stage support. And before you say that the 64GB of storage is too little for Final Cut Pro, the USB-C support means you can plug in and edit right off an SSD. Learn more about iPad Air 5 over in our coverage.
Belkin’s 15W MagSafe charger has room for iPhone 15, Apple Watch Series 9, more
Amazon now offers the Belkin 15W 3-in-1 MagSafe Charging Stand for $110. Today’s offer is down from the usual $150 price tag it normally trends at and is the best price of the year. It’s $40 off and beats our previous mention by an extra $17. This is the more recent model with Apple Watch fast charging, too. Below the fold we explore how everything stacks up, but you can also get a better idea of what to expect in our hands-on review.
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 Series 7, 8, and 9 models, as well as a 5W Qi pad underneath for AirPods and the like. We just took a hands-on look at what to expect in a recent review, too.
First discount live on Twelve South’s BookArc Flex vertical MacBook Stand
Amazon is now offering the Twelve South BookArc Flex MacBook Stand for $51 shipped. This drops the vertical MacBook stand with a chromed finish down from the usual $60 price tag. It’s a 15% price cut and the only one we’ve seen since launching back in January. That also makes it a new all-time low. Back in January, we walked away impressed in our hands-on review, which has only been made better following the launch of M3 MacBook Air and its dual monitor support in clamshell mode.
The Twelve South BookArc Flex is a unique way to dock a MacBook at your desk. It has a one-size-fits-all design that literally flexes in order to hold 13-inch MacBook Airs, 16-inch MacBook Pros, and every laptop in between. The chrome design matches the rest of your Apple setup. It takes on a vertical design that’s great for saving space on your desktop when paired with a secondary display, or even two extra monitors thanks to the newfound dual display support found on the M3 MacBook Air.
Back in March, we revisited the BookArc Flex with Apple’s latest MacBook in mind and found it to be an even more valuable addition to Apple workstations.
Courant takes 20% off collection of luxurious leather MagSafe charging pads
Courant is now taking 20% off its entire collection of unique and premium magnetic charging pads. Made from higher-end leather and linen finishes, all of Courant’s chargers are gear you’ll want to actually show off. One of our favorites is the all-new MAG:3 Dual Charging Tray at $160. That discounts the leather model in one of two finishes from its usual $200 price tag. There’s also the linen model starting at $127 in three styles – down from $150. Both of these match the all-time lows for only the second time as the first discounts since Black Friday. Learn more about this luxurious charger in our launch coverage.
Courant launched its new MAG:3 charging pad back in November. No matter if you bring home the leather designs or fancy the linen models more, you’re looking at one of the more premium Apple charging setups out there. There’s a MagSafe-compatible 7.5W pad on one side and then a 5W AirPods Qi pad on the right. Both come joined with a 10W USB-C charger for plugging in an Apple Watch power puck or other accessory.
The real highlight for the MAG:3 – like the rest of the lineup – is the premium design and materials that Courant uses. If you’re tired of plastic and rubber accessories, then this is going to be right up your alley. It’s a perfect option for keeping out in your living room or bedside table, offering space for your wallet and other gear on top of just your tech.
