Our top choice
The M3 MacBook Air may not look all that different from the M2 on the outside, but take a look inside and you’re sure to be impressed. The snappier M3 chip is an impressive 60 percent faster than the M1 chip in the 2020 Air models and about 15% faster than the M2. Additionally, it features WiFi 6E (an improvement over the last generation) and supports up to two external 5K 60Hz displays (when closed).
As a bonus, it’s also available in a new shade of midnight black. We didn’t have a chance to test the 13.6-inch model, but we did test the 15-inch version and were impressed with its strong performance. We found that it “continues to blur the boundaries of the Air and Pro models.” Plenty of “pump” for creatives, professionals and students who need robust performance that can handle their diverse workflows.” Coming April 26th The base model M3 Air (with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD) is on sale for just $989 – that’s a $110 savings and its lowest price ever.
We featured the Fitbit Versa 4 in our Amazon Deals of the Day roundup just a few days ago, but now it’s $44.99 off. As of April 26, it’s on sale for just $104.96, its lowest price yet. Launching in the second half of 2023, Versa 4 features a wider range of built-in fitness features, notable design and usability improvements, and a more responsive touchscreen compared to its predecessor. We haven’t had a chance to test it yet, but we really liked the previous version, the Versa 3. Not to mention, our friends at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable publisher Ziff Davis) tested the new model and found it to be “a strong option for anyone looking for an attractive fitness smartwatch that keeps things simple.” “
We featured the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II in our Amazon Deal of the Day roundup earlier this month when they hit their all-time low price of $199. However, as of April 26, the comfortable and customizable earbuds are $10 off, sitting at a new low of $189. What we particularly like is that these headphones intelligently adjust the noise cancellation and sound performance to suit your ears and your environment. They also include three sets of ear tips and stability bands for ultimate comfort. We haven’t had a chance to test the latest version yet, but we were big fans of the original QuietComfort Earbuds. Plus, our friends at PCMag (owned by Ziff Davis, publisher of Mashable) gave them a near-perfect rating and an Editor’s Choice Award.
