In this week’s Best of 9to5Toys: Apple’s latest MacBooks get a discount for the first time, Amazon introduces a new no-rush shipping policy and Anker launches a pre-Prime Day sale filled with hot deals.
Apple refreshed nearly its entire MacBook lineup back at WWDC 2017 in June. Since then we’ve been patiently waiting to see a discount on the MacBook Pro and Air models. That happened this week as both the entry-level and Touch Bar-enabled 512GB Pro models went on sale, alongside a nice $199 discount for MacBook Air.
Amazon has been offering all kinds of discounts in the lead up to Prime Day next week, but it also quietly introduced a new no-rush shipping policy that can be very beneficial to shoppers. Justin broke down the entire promotion here if you’re interested in learning more.
You’ll find the rest of this week’s best deals, and our favorite new tech down below.
