Apple's iPad Air M3 is cheaper than ever right now
The iPad we consider to be the best iPad for most people is on sale for a record-low price at the moment. You can pick up the new iPad Air M3 for $499 right now, which is $100 off its regular price. You'll find the 17-percent discount on the 128GB models of the M3 Air in all color options. We gave the new iPad Air (M3) an 89 in our review, thanks, in part, to that M3 chip. Its single- and multi-core scores came in 16 percent higher compared to its predecessor when tested with Geekbench. The iPad Air M3 also has a much better screen and multitasking abilities this time around. Plus, it's compatible with a much improved Magic Keyboard. The add-on is akin to the one you'd get with Apple's iPad Pro M4 while also dropping by $30 from the previous model. But, it will still cost you $269 for the 11-inch model and $319 for the 13-inch one.

Apple MacBook Air (13-Inch, M4) Review: More Power For Less Money
i've been devoted to the MacBook Air since 2012, when I bought my first one with money I saved up from my summer job before my first semester of college (you can read more about that journey here). As someone always working on the go, I've always been drawn to how lightweight it is. When Apple revamped it back in 2022 with a new design, bigger and brighter display, MagSafe support, and a 1080p webcam, I was thrilled—this was my dream MacBook come to life. But as I said in last year's review, the 13-inch MacBook Air has reached its peak in terms of design. Apple continues to release the same model while mainly focusing on the internals—and the same logic applies to this latest version. The standout feature is the M4 chip (the entry-level chip of the lineup) along with double the base memory (also available on its predecessor). Apple did throw in an updated 12-megapixel webcam and a new blue color option, but aside from that, the chassis remains the same. Typically, when a next-generation model lacks any major additions, Apple keeps the price the same as previous versions. This time, however, the price sees a welcome reduction to $999—$100 less than its predecessors. It's what the MacBook Air cost before the launch of the M2 model (Apple did sell the M2-powered MacBook Air for $999 once the M3 Air came out, but the M4 replaces both models). So, that means the highest configuration will cost $2,199. Although there are still a few additional things I had on my wishlist for this next-gen version (a nano-texture glass option being one of them), the MacBook Air with M4 continues to live up to its reputation as a reliable, lightweight machine and the best MacBook for most people. The fact that it's as affordable as it used to be is the cherry on top. Subtle Alterations Photograph: Brenda Stolyar As with previous generations, the 13-inch MacBook Air has a square chassis, a big and bright 13.6-inch LCD panel (complete with a 60-Hz refresh rate), a four-speaker sound system, and a three-mic array. Coming in at 2.7 pounds, it also remains super lightweight and comfortable to commute with. You'll also get the same port selection, which includes two USB 4/Thunderbolt ports, a MagSafe charging port, and a 3.5-mm headphone jack.
