Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by the most affordable 2026 M5 Pro MacBook Pro at $150 off and ongoing $150 price drops on all 2026 M5 MacBook Air configs. We also have current-gen Apple Watch models from $219, rare deals on official black Apple USB-C cables from just over $7, the first deal on Apple’s 2026 Spring Clementine Sport Band, and a chance to land a FREE Nomad Find My wallet Tracking Card. Head below for a closer look at the details.

This week’s AirPods Pro 3 deal is now live, back at $200 holiday pricing

M5 Pro deals disappearing quick, but most affordable 2026 MacBook Pro still $150 off (All-time low)

We had a steady run of big time discounts on the brand new 2026 M5 Pro MacBook Pro lineup over the last couple weeks, but prices are starting to jump back up now. Deal pricing on most of the upgraded 14-inch models are now up closer to full price, but you can still score the most affordable M5 Pro MacBook Pro you can buy at $150 off the list price (the best we have tracked at Amazon to date). 

Amazon is currently offering the M5 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and the 1TB internal SSD in Silver at $2,048 and the Space Black model down at $2,049, both with free shipping. 

This is the base 14-inch configuration with the 15-Core CPU and 16-Core GPU that carries a regular list price at $2,199. Today’s deal delivers the lowest price we have tracked to date on the new 2026 release.

It, for the record, is fetching the full $2,199 list price at Best Buy and most major retailers outside of Amazon. 

There are a few other 2026 MacBook Pro configurations still at the all-time low pricing we featured previously, but much of the mid-tier models have jumped back up in price:

M5 Pro MacBook Pro

M5 Max MacBook Pro

At the top of the lineup, Amazon is still serving up to $200 off the high-end M5 Max models for those in need of some serious power:

Amazon offering $150 price drops on all 2026 M5 MacBook Air models this week, deals from $949

While deals on the 2026 MacBook Pro lineup are starting to disappear, with the launch of this week’s tech sales, the $150 price drop on the new M5 MacBook Air are holding steady. 

It appears Amazon will be carrying its all-time low pricing on the new M5 MacBook Air lineup at least through Sunday at this point. We can’t know for sure how long the discounts will remain, but they are still live as of this morning for anyone still looking to land the brand new machine in the early stages here:

All things considered, landing a current-generation MacBook Air at $150 off at any point in the lifecycle is a solid deal. We might very well see them at $200 off later in the year, during Prime Day sales for example, but it certainly wouldn’t be uncommon for Amazon and other major retailers to simply pop them back up closer to full price and then back down to the same price we have here today until then. Taking the previous-generation M4 model has an example, it maxed out at $150 off right up until late July last year on the most affordable models. 

Either way, $150 off is a solid discount and likely the best it will get across the lineup with all configs and colors up for grabs until major sale events this summer and beyond. 

Current-generation Apple Watch models start from $219 this week (Up to $100 off)

This week we are tracking a host of notable deals on the current—generation Apple Watch lineup. This includes some rare discounts on Apple Watch Ultra 3 as well as the return of all-time low pricing on the more affordable Series 11 models at $100 off and starting from $299. But some of the Big Spring Sale prices on the even less pricey Apple Watch SE 3 from $219 shipped. 

While we aren’t looking at massive price drops on the latest SE 3 lineup here, they are a more affordable option than the discounted Series 11 and we wanted to make sure they were on the radar for more casual users. The SE 3 is, all things considered, the most compelling SE series model yet if you ask me, complete with the must-have always-on display and gesture support. 

While we did see the 44mm Cell variant for less last month, the rest of the models are now back at the lowest price we have tracked since the Black Friday/holiday deal season. 

All of that said, if the roughly $80 in savings they deliver over the current Series 11 deals isn’t quite enough to warrant passing on the more capable flagship models, you can browse those deals below:

Today’s accessories and charging deals:

Apple 2026 Studio Display XDR with Tilt/Height Stand hits new low today, VESA model $550 under launch price

While we did see a permanent $400 price drop on the 2026 Apple Studio Display XDR with the VESA Mount, the configuration with the Tilt- and Height-Adjustable Stand still carries a $3,299 list price. It is currently $100 off and temporarily out of stock, but over at authorized Apple dealer Expercom you will find this config at $200 off right now for the best price we can find. Head below for more details and discounts on the more affordable models. 

As you can see below Amazon has the lowest prices available on the more affordable standard 2026 model from $1,499, but Expercom is delivering the lowest prices we can find on the XDR models at the moment and a new low on the config with the Tilt- and Height-Adjustable Stand:

Again, Apple did drop the configuration with the VESA Mount officially to $2,899 recently and that model is now an additional $150 off at Expercom to deliver a deal at $550 under the price it launched at in March. 

Here’s the deal pricing works out across the standard 2026 Studio Display configs right now:
