Apple’s MacBook Air M3 hits a new low, plus the rest of the week’s best tech deals

It might be too late to get a big tech gift to ship in time for Father’s Day, but if you’re looking to upgrade your own setup, you can still take advantage of a few sales that are still kicking ahead of the weekend. The 13- and 15-inch versions of Apple’s latest

This version may be enough if you only plan to use the laptop lightly, but if you want to multitask with any regularity, we’d recommend getting a config with double the RAM and storage space. That one is

In any event, the M3 MacBook Air earned a score of 90 in our review this past March, and it’s now the top pick in our guide to the best laptops. It still has just about everything we want from a mainstream notebook: a premium design, a crisp display, a comfortable keyboard and trackpad, long battery life, solid speakers and fast performance for most needs. It can still run a bit hot under heavy workloads, and it’s still limited to just two USB-C ports, but it gives little to complain about otherwise.

It’s worth remembering that the

is still a great value if you want to save a few more dollars, but this newer model adds support for dual external displays (albeit only when the laptop is closed) and Wi-Fi 6E alongside the slightly faster chip. The base M3 model also has

has the higher-spec model available for $10 more as well. The 15-inch Air is essentially the same as the 13-inch version, just with a more spacious screen and a better speaker system. It, too, earned a score of 90 in our review.

is also on ***** for a low of $2,199, which is a similar discount. That model has the same base specs, though it has a slightly stronger 12-core CPU (instead of the 11-core chip on the 14-inch model) and 18-core GPU (instead of a 14-core unit).

We gave both M3 MacBook ***** a review score of 90 last November. They’re more laptop than most people need, but they should make sense for 3D designers, video editors and other professional types that are willing to pay for more power, a richer mini-LED display and a wider port selection. Both models have excellent battery life, but the 16-inch one lasts a little longer.

Note that Apple has already launched a new M4 chip with the new iPad *****, so it’s only a matter of time until all of these MacBooks receive a refresh. According to a

earlier this year, the ***** could be updated by the end of this year or early 2025, while new Airs could arrive sometime next spring. That said, none of the current notebooks will feel slow anytime soon, so these are good deals if you need to upgrade today.

are back down to $35, which matches their lowest price to date. They normally retail for $50. We highlight this pair in our guide to the best budget wireless earbuds for those who prefer a more open design that doesn’t insert all the way into the ear canal. It doesn’t isolate much outside noise as a result, nor does it deliver much deep bass, but those with sensitive ears should find it more comfortable to actually wear. It also sounds fairly decent for the category — after a little EQ tweaking, at least — plus it supports features that we don’t always see in this price range, including Alexa voice controls, wear detection and the ability to connect to two devices at once. The five-hour battery life isn’t great, however, and the design isn’t sweat-resistant enough for the gym.

is the top recommendation in our Chromebook buying guide, and it’s now down to $349 at Best Buy. That matches the lowest price we’ve tracked. The 14-inch notebook has a list price of $499, though we’ve seen it dip under $400 a few times over the past several months. This configuration includes an Intel Core i3-1315U processor, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of eMMC storage, two USB-C ports, a USB-A port and a microSD slot. The 1,920 x 1,200 IPS touchscreen is impressive for the price, with a tall 16:10 aspect ratio that’s well-suited for reading and word processing. Its battery life is mediocre, but it runs quick enough for the basic web tasks you’d do with a Chromebook, and both its keyboard and trackpad are comfortable. It’s not the most svelte machine, however, checking in at 3.5 pounds and 0.78 inches thick.

since December. The deal applies to all USB-C and Lightning versions of the gamepad, including the standard ****** models and the PlayStation-branded white models. Backbone says the ***** will run through June 16.

We’ve recommended the Backbone for those who want to stream console and PC games to their phone or just play more involved mobile fare without touch controls. It’s not as roomy as a full-size PS5 or Xbox controller, and the way Backbone promotes its

, which is about $15 off the gaming mouse’s average street price in recent months. It also matches the lowest price we’ve seen in more than a year. The Scimitar is the “best for MMOs” pick in our guide to the best gaming mice, as it has 12 programmable side buttons you can use to quickly perform actions in titles like Final Fantasy XIV, World of Warcraft and more complex single-player RPGs like Baldur’s Gate III. It’s on the bulky side, like most MMO mice, but it should be comfortable for most hand sizes. Just be aware that it’s a wired model — there’s a newer

of games across consoles, PC and cloud streaming, including just about all of Xbox’s first-party releases. It also enables online multiplayer. A subscription will make the most sense if you like to play a wide range of games instead of sticking to the same small handful. The Xbox library as a whole isn’t as stacked with must-play exclusives as the Nintendo Switch or PlayStation 5, but Game Pass still covers plenty of games we like, so this is a decent chance to save if there’s a few you’ve been eyeing for the summer.

protection is also on ***** for $150.

We gave the Solo 4 a score of 79 in our review. Battery life is their headline feature, as they can last more than 50 hours on a charge. They have a nicely even-handed sound beyond that, and they support wired playback over a USB-C or 3.5mm cable. There aren’t a ton of wireless on-ear headphones coming out these days, so this is one of your better bets if you like that form factor. That said, the design can feel tight if you have a larger head, and the whole thing is light on features, with no ANC, multi-device connectivity (on iOS), wear detection, transparency mode or EQ. But if you like the style and fit, the Solo 4 is much more palatable at $130 than $200.

for $400. None of those are all-time lows, but they range from $30 to $100 off the ***** pits’ usual prices.

We’ve recommended these stainless steel devices multiple times before. Each is lightweight for its size and easy to load up with wood, and they all do well to send (most) smoke upwards instead of in your face. Each one also comes with a removable ash pan, so you don’t have to turn the whole thing over to clean up, plus they’re backed by a lifetime warranty. The Bonfire probably has the most universally agreeable size, though the Ranger is a nice option for frequent campers. Just be aware that, if you’re using one of these things with an especially large group, you might want to add a

for providing better contrast and colors than most options in its price range. It takes advantage of display tech that’s typically reserved for more expensive TVs, such as a mini-LED backlight, quantum dots and full-array local dimming. It’s still limited to a basic 60Hz refresh rate, and it lacks HDMI 2.1 ports, so it won’t provide the absolute smoothest image with game consoles like the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X. Its picture washes out a bit when viewed from an angle, too, and it doesn’t get bright enough to really make HDR content pop. Still, it’s a decent value if you’re on a tighter budget.
