Get the Apple MacBook Air M4 at a record-low price before the deal is gone!
If you were to ask me what the best laptop for most people is, I would have to say it's one of the M-series MacBook Airs. Which one you get depends on the price and needs, but the best one to get right now is the Apple MacBook Air M4. Not only is it the newest version, but it is also $200 off at just $799. Buy the Apple MacBook Air M4 for just $799 ($200 off) This offer is available directly from Amazon, and the discount applies to all color versions. These include Midnight, Silver, Sky Blue, and Starlight. We just reported on this deal on Monday, but it's so good that we would like to remind you of it again. It's a record-low price for the Apple MacBook Air M4, and I often say it could be the best laptop for most users out there (except for gamers, of course). So much so that I find it hard to recommend anything else these days. The Apple MacBook Air M4 is a premium laptop, so don't underestimate it because of its price. Remember, this lineup launched as a high-end offering with a portable and super-thin design. Arguably, they used to be pretty expensive, but the introduction of M-series chips made them very powerful, while keeping the prices at the same level. This change is really what made them such a good offering. Let's start with performance. The Apple M4 chip is excellent, and this base model gets 16GB of RAM. It may not sound like much, but Apple's chips are so good that people use them for tasks like 4K video editing, RAW photo editing, and everything below that. Many of our team members use these chips (and as old as M2 ones) to process work here at Android Authority! Unless you're running specialized tasks or need Windows-exclusive software, you'll do more than fine with this one. Design is another area where the MacBook Air excels. This one looks exactly like the M2 and M3 models, but this isn't exactly a bad thing. The full metal construction looks and feels great, offering that iconic Apple look many love. There's also the 0.44-inch thinness, which is what made the MacBook Air lineup so popular. You'll enjoy the premium backlit keyboard and large glass trackpad, too. It also comes with an outstanding display. This model has a 13-inch screen with a 2,560 x 1,664 resolution. It can reproduce the DCI-P3 color gamut, so it's very color accurate, making it an excellent choice for media consumption, editing, and more. And while super thin, it gets up to 18 hours of battery life! Only a few years ago, getting a computer this good at just $799 was unheard of. Especially coming from Apple, which has been known for overpriced products. It's interesting that it is now hard for competitors to match its quality and prices. Anyways, this is a record-low price for this laptop, and it has been going for a bit now. These offers don't tend to last long, so get yours for cheap while you can! Follow

Google's Pixel Tablet is $190 off for a limited time
During the most recent Prime Day, the Google Pixel Tablet with Wi-Fi and 256GB of storage briefly dropped to just $309 ($190 off) — but the deal disappeared in a matter of hours. Fast forward to today, and the deal is back, but this time it's available at Best Buy. Unfortunately, the discount is for today only (or until supplies last) and doesn't include the speaker dock. The Pixel Tablet hit the scene back in 2023, so by tech standards, it's relatively old. That being said, the discount certainly makes up for the older specs, especially since you get double the storage for less than it costs to buy the 128GB model. The tablet is as straightforward as tablets get, providing users with plenty of screen real estate to consume media, play games, and browse the web. In his Pixel Tablet review, former Verge editor Dan Seifert noted that the device doesn't seem interested in pushing the boundaries, but its solid hardware and speedy performance make it a great option for Android users. The device features a sharp 11-inch LCD display, a soft-touch matte finish, and four speakers that provide clear audio and noticeable stereo separation. Like most modern devices, it lacks a headphone jack, so you'll have to either use Bluetooth or USB-C headphones. It also has an 8-megapixel webcam on the long edge of the screen, so you can keep the device in landscape during video calls. Meanwhile, the tablet integrates well with an optional fabric speaker dock. The tablet can magnetically attach to the dock and instantly transfer any music, podcast, or audiobook to play over the dock's louder, better speaker. At this point, Google's tablet aspirations are up in the air, with rumors suggesting any subsequent sequels have been canned. The company has an event scheduled for August 20th, where we're expecting new Pixel phones to debut, including a new book-style foldable. Whether or not we'll see a new tablet remains to be seen. Either way, the device has rarely been this low, making it a good opportunity to pick it up. It's worth noting, however, that Google is only promising three years of software upgrades and five years of security updates from its release in 2023, which is much shorter than the seven years of support offered for newer Pixel phones.

The key upgrade over the lower S25 models is a 200MP main camera and 100x Space Zoom. See price at Amazon Save $300.00 Limited Time Deal! As mentioned yesterday, there are plenty of flashy and exciting new Samsung phones right now. While the new foldables and the super-thin Galaxy S25 Edge are fun, it's often better to stick with simplicity. The truth is, none of these newer Samsung phones really beat the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, which continues to be the brand's true flagship. So much so that we keep it as the top premium device on our list of the best Android phones. Let's start with performance, which this device truly excels in. The Galaxy S25 Ultra comes with a potent Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and 12GB of RAM. This is enough power to handle any task, including any app or game.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority If that isn't enough to convince you, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra also excels in what we know is a very important department to many of you. It's one of the best camera phones available! And if you care about battery life, we managed to get about two days of usage per full charge, which is pretty impressive. Of course, Samsung's flagship won't fall behind in design. It has a sturdy titanium frame, Gorilla Glass 2 on the back and front, and an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. It's capable and resistant, making it a nice phone to keep long-term. Especially considering it has one of the best update commitments the industry has to offer, at seven years of support. Only Google matches that update promise! Honestly, this is an outstanding phone. Our only complaint about it is that it is quite expensive, but this discount makes it a much more enticing device. Go get it before the sale ends! Follow

Baseus 2-Pack USB-C Charger Blocks Drop to Freebie Territory, It's Like Getting Each One as a Gift
With so many gadgets taking up our homes now, it can be tricky to keep everything actually charged. It means that one of the best things you can purchase for yourself is a new charger. Sure, it's not the most exciting thing going, but the boost in convenience offered by having more charging blocks is huge, and making life a little simpler is always nice. If you're looking to make your life that little bit easier, then you'll want to hop on this deal. You can currently get two Baseus 45W USB-C Charger Blocks for just $21, which means that they're a little over ten bucks each, which is amazing. This is a limited-time deal though, so it's worth noting that we don't know how long it'll go on for. See at Amazon These charger blocks are both perfect for homes with a lot of modern devices. We mean things like the iPhone 16, not just things like a working refrigerator. The reason for this is that they're USB-C blocks, and they also come with two USB-C cables, which is always handy if you're looking to set up proper charging stations in different rooms in your home, instead of just having to carry around the one cable you own that works. The 45W output is huge as well, as it allows you to charge an iPhone 16 to 56% battery in just 30 minutes, or up to 61% for a Galaxy S24. Sometimes you need a lot of power quickly, and the days of leaving your phone on charge overnight are likely behind you thanks to the improvements in charging technology. These are also 46% smaller than other Baseus chargers, and they're covered in safety features, which means that you don't have to overcharging, overheating, and other overs too. It's essential to be able to trust your chargers, especially given how much phones cost these days. You can use these for more than just phones as well, so you can give power to tablets, laptops, MacBooks and more. The flexibility is huge because these are chargers that'll likely be used almost every day, or several times every day. This two-pack of chargers would normally cost you $30, which is a very reasonable price to begin with, but the chance to get them for $21 instead is one that you're not going to want to miss out on. So, if you do need new chargers, make sure you're quick on buying these or the deal could end before you're ready. See at Amazon
