After CES and ahead of Samsung’s Unpacked, the Engadget crew had a chance to catch its breath this week. But we still kept an eye on the deal machine to see which tech sales are worth your money. Right now, we’re seeing some great deals from Apple – one on the latest iPad mini and another on the new 15-inch MacBook Air – as well as a first-time discount on the Kindle Colorsoft eReader.
There are a few discounts on Bluetooth trackers that will help you keep track of your keys and bag. And Best Buy is still running a promotion to give away three free months of Apple TV+ so you can start watching the just-released second season of Severance. Here are the best tech deals from this week that you can still get today.
That matches the price of this set for Black Friday. It’s our current favorite premium power bank, thanks to the sleek design, easy-to-read display, and fast charging capabilities. But what really makes it stand out is the charging base. Magnets align the base with the battery, so it’s easy to put down and recharge. The base also offers additional USB ports, so you can charge other accessories at the same time.
All four colors are currently on sale at Amazon for the latest MacBook Air. We gave the laptop positive reviews last year, with plenty of performance for both productive work and casual play. The keyboard and trackpad are fantastic, making the laptop a pleasure to use. We currently recommend the M3 MacBook Air as the best MacBook for most people.
If you’re a Prime member, you can save $50 on the recently released Colorsoft Kindle, also known as the first Kindle with color. This is the first discount we’ve seen since the introduction of this model. We experienced a “yellow band” problem with our review unit, but later received an updated reader, for which Amazon made “appropriate adjustments” to resolve the issue. The software and display adjustments the company implemented worked — and we actually liked the overall effect better. Check out our review for the full story.
