Amazon has a few solid discounts on Apple's Magic Keyboards and MagSafe Chargers this week, including all-time low prices on the former accessories, both of which are for the M4 iPad Pro.
Apple Watch Series 10
What's the deal? Take $50 off Apple Watch Series 10
Amazon hosted a few low prices on the Apple Watch Series 10 this week, with record low prices on both the 42mm and 46mm GPS models still available. This includes the 42mm GPS model for the all-time low price of $349.00 in multiple colors and styles, down from $399.00.
One of the most notable deals of the week was on the 256GB 13-inch M2 MacBook Air, available for just $749.00, down from $999.00, and this sale has since expanded to include more colors. Overall, this is a solid second-best price on the previous generation MacBook Air, and the 512GB model is seeing a similarly steep discount on Amazon.
Amazon took $10 off both models of the AirPods 4 this week, starting at $119.00 for the base model without Active Noise Cancellation. Both deals are still available to purchase today, and right now only Amazon has the discounts.

For gaming, the M2 isn't that much worse than the M3. The M3 has ~30% stronger CPU performance, but its GPU performance is only ~5% better. And the M2 actually has a more powerful neural engine than the M3. (M2 has 22 TOPS, M3 has 18 TOPS, and M4 has 38 TOPS.) But the M3 also has hardware-accelerated Ray Tracing and hardware-accelerated AV1 video decoding. (Though, M2 can still play AV1 with software decoding, and Ray Tracing probably not so important on a the low-end MacBooks since Ray Tracing is pretty demanding.)
