Our coverage takes a deeper dive into the discounts available, so be sure to give that a look to find out all the ways you can save this weekend.

Have you been waiting to buy Apple’s latest AirPods 3? Well, now’s your chance. Normally $179, right now you’ll pay just $140 with the final price reflecting at checkout. This $29 savings marks a new all-time low that we’ve tracked, bringing MagSafe charging, “Hey Siri” detection, instant pairing, and more to your on-the-go audio setup.

Speaking of Apple discounts, the brand’s M1 MacBook Air is currently up to $150 off in various configuration. Not only is this just a great deal overall, but it beats the Black Friday price, making now a great time to invest in Apple’s latest-and-greatest technology. Sporting up to 512GB of storage and all-day battery life, the M1 MacBook Air is a great machine to use on-the-go.
