Simply put, 8GB of RAM is simply not enough for a MacBook. Normally, upgrading the RAM to 16GB will cost you an extra $200, but since Apple has decided to make 16GB the new standard, you can get an upgraded model for the same price. And if you want to save even more, opt for the slightly older M2 MacBook Air from 2022, which sells for just $749 instead of $999. That’s the lowest price yet for the base 16GB model with 256GB of storage. Sure, it’s not the latest and greatest MacBook on the market, but it’s still a very solid laptop that Tech Reporter Alex Perry gave it a Mashable Choice Award badge of honor. He praised its Zipped M2 processor, strong battery life, slim profile, and more than satisfactory keyboard layout.

If you’re looking for a new tablet and like the color purple, the M2 iPad Air with 512GB of storage has dropped to a record low of $899 at Amazon. That’s $200 or 18% in savings. Our crowd favorite iPad, the 2024 iPad Air offers powerful performance that can keep up with the big dogs — including some of our favorite laptops — and battery life that’s better in real life than on paper. As Mashable’s Kim Gedeon noted in his review, “The M2 chip delivers fantastic power efficiency and increased performance.”

A direct replacement for the Sony WH-CH710N headphones – which our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) say “offer strong audio performance and effective noise cancellation at an affordable price” – the WH-C720N retails for just $79.99. on Amazon. That’s a 47% savings and a record low for this model. The new design is heavily inspired by the more expensive WH-1000XM5s (which we love). They add sound and sound improvements compared to their predecessors, increase sensitivity to drivers and increase dynamic range, yet maintain a 35-hour battery life (with ANC). They’re not the best noise-cancelling headphones on the market, but they’re stylish, reliable, and budget-friendly.
