This week's best deals: $100 off the Mac Mini M1 and more

Plus an all-time low on the latest MacBook Air.

Engadget

Apple announced a bunch of new devices this week, but we also found a few of Apple older gear on sale this week, plus a few Earth Day-related deals. The Mac Mini M1 was discounted by $100 and the MacBook Air M1 returned to an all-time low of $800. AirPods Pro remain on sale for $197 and the updated Google WiFi system is still 20-percent off at Adorama. And if you're looking for a new wearable, many of Fitbit's smartwatches and fitness trackers are deeply discounted, too. Here are the best tech deals from this week that you can still get today.

We gave the MacBook Air a score of 94 for its super fast performance, lovely display, comfortable keyboard and trackpad and lack of fan noise. If you need more storage, the silver 512GB model is also $100 off right now. And if you want something a bit more powerful and flexible, the MacBook Pro M1 is $150 off, bringing the base model down to $1,149.

Apple's AirPods Pro are down to $197 on Amazon, which is over $50 off their normal price. While not an all-time low, it's the best price we've seen in a while. We gave them a score of 87 for their solid ANC, comfortable design and hands-free Siri support.

On the heels of Apple announcing the new iPad Pros, last year's model has dropped to a record low: $999 for a 256GB 12.9-inch iPad Pro with LTE. That's $250 off its normal price, making it a great deal if you feel comfortable skipping this year's updates and going with a slightly older version.

While not exactly the same as the Nest WiFi, this 3-pack will cover 4,500 square feet and it's easy to set up with the Google Home mobile app. The company also updated the system last year to be better at supporting the heavy loads that multiple, simultaneously connected devices may put on your network.

The Fitbit Sense is down to an all-time low of $250 while the Versa 3 is on sale for $180 and the Inspire 2 is down to $70.

New tech deals

Amazon Smart Plug

Amazon's Smart Plug is $10 off right now, bringing it down to $15. You can turn any appliance into a smart one with this adapter, which will then let you control that appliance via a smartphone app and using Alexa voice commands. We also like that it has a relatively compact design that won't block your second outlet, and it doesn't require a smart home hub to use.

Eufy RoboVac 11S Max

This is the higher-powered version of one of our favorite budget robot vacuums, the Eufy RoboVac 11S. With the Max model, you'll get up to 2,000Pa suction power plus all of the benefits that the standard version. We like Eufy's robot vacuum for its slim profile, thorough and relatively quiet cleaning and its included remote that lets you set schedules and manually control the device.
