Best Apple deals: Save on AirPods, Apple Watch, iPad, MacBook

By

Apple has been a big player in the tech space for a long time, and it has pioneered some of the technology we use today, such as best wireless earbuds and the best smartwatches. If that wasn’t enough, it even makes some of the best best laptops and best tablets on the market, so pretty much whatever tech you’re looking for, Apple has an excellent version of it. Not only that, but Apple’s ecosystem is also easily one of the best available, with only Samsung really competing in that space, and if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, then it makes sense to continue buying stuff from Apple.

Of course, Apple tech can be quite pricey, which is why we’ve gone out and searched through various big retailers to find you some of the best deals we can find. That includes everything from the MacBook to the AirTag, so hopefully, you can find the perfect deal that fits your needs and budget.

Apple AirTag (4-Pack) — $80, was $99

Insert the Apple AirTag into your bag, gadget, or any item that you may misplace, so that you can track it if you lose it. The Apple AirTag is one of the best Bluetooth trackers if you’re using an iPhone or iPad because not only does it offer a one-tap setup, but it can utilize the millions of devices in Apple’s Find My network to help you find your stuff if it goes beyond the Bluetooth range of 30 feet. It’s powered by a replaceable battery that can last for more than a year before you need a new one.

The fifth-generation Apple iPad Air ranks first among our top picks as the best tablets for a variety of reasons, starting with the high-performance M1 processor that makes the device run very fast and smooth. The fifth-generation Apple iPad Air is equipped with a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display that’s bright and colorful even under direct sunlight, a 12MP Wide back camera that can record 4K footage, and a 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage to keep you in the frame during video calls even when you move around.

The M2 MacBook Air is a pretty unique laptop because it was the first Apple laptop to actually have a 15-inch screen compared to all the previous generations. It also comes in both an M2 and an M3 chip variety, although the M2 chip model is more affordable and still has a ton of power under the hood. Luckily, the 15-inch MacBook Air also has great battery life and a gorgeous retina display, so it’s great to use for long periods without getting a ton of eye strain.

Now that Apple has started outfitting its laptops with its M3 generation of chips, it's time to take another look at which is the best MacBook to buy in 2024. That’s not always easy, though, as buying the newest MacBook isn’t always the right decision. Apple has several tiers of performance, as well as various sizes, which can further complicate the matter.

What’s more, you can also still get M1 and M2 MacBooks, some from Apple’s own website and some from third-party retailers. But are they still worth your money? Our guide should help you decide.

Best Buy has a refurbished MacBook for $580, and it’s a good buy

Typically, refurbished MacBook deals, or most refurbished laptop deals for that matter, aren't worth the cost. You can buy a brand-new system for about the same price, especially thanks to the best MacBook deals out there. But that's not the case with a deal Best Buy has available right now. You can get a Geek Squad Certified and refurbished MacBook Air, with an Intel 8th Gen Core i5,  for just $580 -- that saves you $320 off the usual $900 price. A newer model MacBook Air is going to cost you over $900, especially when you factor in taxes and shipping. This is the 2019 model, so while it is a few years old, you're still getting a laptop that can go the distance, as Apple's software updates usually keep older systems performing well.

Why you should buy this refurbished MacBook Air deal at Best Buy
Generally, we only recommend buying refurbished or renewed products straight from the manufacturer, but Best Buy's Geek Squad is the exception to that rule. That's because all refurbished and certified products go through rigorous testing, with detailing, sanitization, and cosmetic grading for the finished product done before they're put up for sale. In other words, they take their time to make sure they certify only good products in reasonable condition. Even if a bad egg slips by, they offer a 90-day warrant with extended warranty protection available -- if you're worried about extended coverage. Although extended warranties are available on an item-by-item basis, some may not qualify.
