Pick up the Sonos Era 300 while it's on sale for 20 percent off
The deal applies to both the black and white colorways. The Era 300 is a highly capable device that we praised in our official review, saying that it "sounds excellent." We went on to say that it offers a premium experience that far surpasses other products in the company's lineup, like the Era 100. This is also true when compared to rival speakers like Apple's HomePod.
It's simple to set up and offers the company's proprietary Trueplay tuning system. This feature optimizes the sound of the speaker to the unique acoustics of a room by leveraging an internal microphone. It measures how sound reflects off surfaces and adjusts the EQ to match. It's pretty nifty.
As for connectivity, it can pair with another Era 300 speaker for a true stereo experience. It also includes a Bluetooth receiver and line-in options. Of course, the speaker integrates with just about every streaming music service. The built-in mic also allows for voice assistant control, but only with Siri and Alexa. Google Assistant is left out of the party.
This speaker goes all-in on spatial audio, and the results are mixed. Sometimes it's sublime and sometimes it's kind of eh. This is more of a dig on the technology itself. It has serious potential but is still experiencing growing pains. The only real downside of this speaker is the exorbitant asking price, which has been slightly alleviated by this sale.
As previously mentioned, other Sonos products are available at a discount. This includes the Sonos Beam Gen 2 soundbar, which is 26 percent off at $369, and the Era 100, which is down to $179. These deals are also available via Sonos itself. There's also an ongoing sale on portable speakers that includes the Move 2 and the Roam 2.

This trending deal at Best Buy gets you a MacBook for under $700
Whether you're going back to college or just need a new MacBook, now seems to be the time to buy. Rare Apple deals are popping up everywhere as the school bells start to ring and shoppers are making tariff-affected decisions. Let's look at just one of these deals today, and a darn good one at that. Presently, you can get a 13-inch MacBook Air Laptop with an M2 chip for just $699. That's a new MacBook for under $700, and a savings of $100 off the usual $799. Tap the button below to see it yourself, or keep reading to remind yourself of the capabilities of the M2 chip, as well as see more about what the laptop is capable of in full. Why you should buy the MacBook Air M2 Despite what Apple may want you to think, it's the numbers that make up a laptop. This 13-inch MacBook Air M2 Laptop has 16GB of RAM, 256GB of SSD storage, and a battery life that goes up to 18 hours. All for less than $700 while this deal is on. Then there's the 2560 x 1664 resolution screen (which will look great on 13-inches), Thunderbolt ports, and even a (rare for Apple) headphone jack. Great, great, and great. Clearly, this laptop has good stats. One thing that may worry you, however, is the fact that it has an M2 chip. The latest MacBooks have an M4 chip, after all. But is 2 really half of 4? Not necessarily. Beyond our Apple M2 chip explainer, which explains that the chip supports up to 24GB of RAM (among other stats), there's an incredibly great resource that compares the M2 vs the M3 chip. While there's a lot of nitty gritty, the key line is this: 'There's much less of a difference between the M3 MacBook Air and the M2 MacBook Air than in the previous generation jump.' You're still getting incredibly quality from the MacBook Air M2, beyond what numbers may suggest. The 13-inch MacBook Air with an M2 chip at $699 is undoubtedly a good deal. And, it's yours (along with the $100 in savings off of the usual $799 price) if you tap the button below. Alternatively, check out these other amazing laptop deals if you want to scout for something outside of the Apple ecosystem.

Elon Musk is threatening to sue Apple for what he says are antitrust violations related to Grok's rankings
Elon Musk said on Monday that xAI will take "immediate legal action" against Apple for its bias toward OpenAI on its App Store. "Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation," Musk wrote in an X post. xAI and Apple did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider. Earlier, Musk had asked Apple on X why its App Store had not placed X higher in the rankings. Musk said X deserved the spot for being "the #1 news app in the world." "Are you playing politics? What gives? Inquiring minds want to know," Musk added. As of press time, OpenAI's ChatGPT is ranked first on the App Store, while Grok is ranked fifth. "Unfortunately, what choice do we have? Apple didn't just put their thumb on the scale, they put their whole body!" Musk wrote on X on Monday.
