Apple AirPods Pro: $249 $197 at Amazon

Save $52 - Amazon has the best-selling AirPods Pro back in stock and on sale for $197. The wireless earbuds sold out during Prime Day and have been flashing in and out of stock as of late, so while this isn't the lowest price we've seen, it's still a decent discount and the best deal you can find right now.


HP 14 laptop: $579.99 $449.99 at HP

Save $130 - There's a $130 discount on this 14-inch HP laptop right now. That means you can pick up a machine with the latest 11th generation of Intel's i3 processor as well as 8GB RAM, 256GB of SSD storage and 16GB of Intel Optane memory all for just under $450.


iPad Air 4 (64GB): $599 $539 at Amazon

Save $60 - We have seen a $519 record low price on the iPad Air, but only for a very short period over Prime Day. Before that, this model rarely dropped below $550, which means a full $60 is an excellent offer.


Apple Watch SE: $279 $249 at Amazon

Save $30 - Amazon has the Apple Watch SE on sale for $249 - only $20 more
than the record-low price and the best deal we've found this year. Today's offer applies to the White sport band and - in our eyes - is the better
choice than the Apple Watch 6 as it comes with Fitness Plus and sheds the unnecessary ECG and blood oxygen tracking.


Dell Inspiron 15 3000 15.6-inch laptop (128GB): $368.99 $269.99 at Dell

Save $99 - This Dell Inspiron laptop deal offers an Intel Pentium Silver processor, 4GB RAM, and a 128GB SSD, excellent value for under $300. That's perfect for lighter everyday browsing and streaming on a full 15.6-inch
screen without breaking the bank.


Keurig K-Mini Coffee Maker: $79.99 $69.50 at Amazon

Save $10 - Amazon has the highly-rated Keurig K-Mini on sale for just $69.99, which is the best deal you can find right now and a fantastic price for a Keurig coffee maker. The K-mini brews a cup in minutes, and at less than five inches wide, it's great for smaller kitchens.


Microsoft Surface Pro 7: $959 $699 at Best Buy

Save $260 - Best Buy has the versatile Surface Pro 7 on sale for $699. That's the best price we've found for the powerful tablet that features a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, includes a full keyboard experience, and provides up to 10 hours of battery life.
Back to school sales: Laptop deals

Lenovo Chromebook S330 14-inch laptop: $239 $159 at Walmart

Save $80 - With 32GB of storage and 4GB RAM you're still picking up a budget laptop here, but thanks to Chrome OS those specs aren't as limiting as they would be on a Windows machine. Plus, the 14-inch display here is a vast improvement on the 11.6-inch devices we usually see in this price range.


HP 11.6-inch Chromebook: $219 $179 at Walmart

Save $40 - You're getting a fantastic 64GB of storage inside this HP Chromebook, and while you are sacrificing a little screen size to secure that space this is still an excellent machine for lighter browsing and streaming.
A Mediatek MT8183 processor won't be pushing too many demanding programs, but you're still getting enough power for everyday use with 4GB RAM as well.


Dell Inspiron 15 3000 15.6-inch laptop (128GB): $368.99 $269.99 at Dell

Save $99 - This Dell Inspiron laptop deal offers an Intel Pentium Silver processor, 4GB RAM, and a 128GB SSD, excellent value for under $300. That's perfect for lighter everyday browsing and streaming on a full 15.6-inch
screen without breaking the bank.


Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15.6-inch laptop: $399.99 $349.99 at Best Buy

Save $50 - You're getting a little more power in this $349.99 price tag than we'd usually see, with a Ryzen 3 at the helm of this everyday browsing machine. 8GB RAM and a 128GB SSD are fairly standard, though generally only seen during discounts, which means you're getting a strong saving here.
What's more, we've been seeing this model at $369 for the past few weeks
which means you're getting an even better deal today.


HP 14 laptop: $579.99 $449.99 at HP

Save $130 - There's a $130 discount on this 14-inch HP laptop right now. That means you can pick up a machine with the latest 11th generation of Intel's i3 processor as well as 8GB RAM, 256GB of SSD storage and 16GB of Intel Optane memory all for just under $450.


Apple MacBook Air: $999 $899 at Amazon

Save $100 - The M1 MacBook Air has dropped back down to its record low $899 price at Amazon after weeks of being stuck at $949. The 13-inch laptop features Apple's powerful M1 chip, 256GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, and provides up to 15 hours of battery life.
Back to school sales: tablet deals

iPad 8th generation (32GB): $329 $299 at Amazon

Save $30 - This is a well-worn iPad deal by now, as we've been seeing this
$30 discount on the 8th generation entry-level model for months. However,
this is still the cheapest this device has ever been, and we don't expect to see a lower price any time soon.


iPad Air 4 (64GB): $599 $539 at Amazon

Save $60 - We have seen a $519 record low price on the iPad Air, but only for a very short period over Prime Day. Before that, this model rarely dropped below $550, which means a full $60 is an excellent offer.

iPad Pro 11-inch, 2021 (128GB): $799 $749 at Walmart

Save $50 - This is a rare saving that we've only seen a handful of times before. At $50 off, this $749 is the cheapest the latest 11-inch iPad Pro has ever been, and so far Amazon hasn't been able to match Walmart's own back-to-school sale.
Back to school sales: headphone deals

AirPods with wired charging case: $159 $119 at Amazon

Save $40 - We only see prices drop below this $119 position during major
sales events like Black Friday, but before June we were more accustomed to a $130 price. That means you're still getting a great deal on the standard 2019 AirPods here, even if they have dropped down to $99 before. You can also grab the AirPods with wireless charging case for $159.98 (was $199) .

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro: $199.99 $149.99 at Amazon

Save $50 - The latest true wireless earbuds from Samsung, the Galaxy Buds Pro offer up active noise cancellation, IPX7 waterproofing, and AKG audio. This
is a return to the lowest price we've seen, though it only applies to the violet color option.

Beats Solo Pro Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones: $299.99 $149 at Walmart

Save $150 - Walmart has the best-selling Beats Solo Pro on sale for a record-low price of $149, thanks to this massive $150 discount we've spotted at Walmart. This deal applies to the Black color, which you can't find at
Best Buy or Amazon at this price.


Apple AirPods Pro: $249 $197 at Amazon

Save $52 - Amazon has the best-selling AirPods Pro back in stock and on sale for $197. The wireless earbuds sold out during Prime Day and have been flashing in and out of stock as of late, so while this isn't the lowest price we've seen, it's still a decent discount and the best deal you can find right now.

Apple Watch Series 6 GPS, 40mm: $399 $329 at Amazon

Save $70 - This is a record low price on the Apple Watch Series 6, with Apple's most powerful smartwatch dropping all the way down to $329.
Previously that cost has been reserved for the Project Red model, but you'll find a wide range of colors up for grabs in today's Apple Watch deals.
