Ars Technica
Today’s Dealmaster is headlined by a solid discount on Apple’s AirPods Pro, as the wireless earbuds are currently down to $190 at Amazon subsidiary Woot. That’s not the absolute lowest price we’ve ever seen, but it’s $60 off Apple’s MSRP and about $20 off the average street price we’ve seen across most online retailers in recent months. The deal also includes free shipping for Amazon Prime members. While various reports suggest a second-generation AirPods Pro could arrive sometime this year, the current model is still a recommended pick for those who want active noise cancellation in a true wireless pair today, and it’s still a comprehensive upgrade over the standard AirPods model.
Our deals roundup also includes notable discounts on Fitbit’s new Inspire 2 fitness tracker and Versa 3 smartwatch; various laptops we like, including the M1 MacBook Air, 8th-gen ThinkPad X1 Carbon, AMD Ryzen-equipped Acer Swift 3, and Microsoft Surface Laptop Go; recommended over-ear noise-cancelling headphones from Sony and Anker; hit video games like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Super Mario 3D All-Stars; and more. You can take a look at the full rundown below.
