In this week’s Best of 9to5Toys: Best Buy takes $150 off latest 2018 MacBook Pro for students, Logitech’s Base charging stand for iPad Pro gets discounted to $70, T-Mobile launches BOGO iPhone/Samsung/LG deals for back-to-school, more…
Apple surprised everyone this week by launching new MacBook Pro models with upgraded processors, more storage, and the ability to get 32GB of RAM in the 15-inch model. Even more surprising is that Best Buy already offers discounts on these brand-new models to the tune of $150 off, as long as you’re a student.
Logitech’s Base for iPad Pro uses Apple’s Smart Connector to provide power in a convenient manner. I love my Base as it gives me a super simple way to charge my iPad, and also puts it at the perfect angle for using a Bluetooth keyboard to write, watch a YouTube video, or catch up on email. And at $70, it’s a no-brainer if you have an iPad Pro.
If it’s time to get a new phone and not a laptop, T-Mobile has you covered with buy-one-get-one FREE iPhone X/8/7/Plus models (up to $700 off), or buy-one-get-one FREE specific Samsung and LG models. Maybe you’re an AT&T customer? Well, you can snag a prepaid iPhone SE on AT&T for just $50 when you activate a new line of service on a monthly plan.
