In this week’s Best of 9to5Toys: Best Buy’s annual Memorial Day sale goes live, AirPods Pro 2 with improved ANC lands at $200, Google Nest Thermostat $100, and much more…
With Memorial Day happening on Monday, we’ve been seeing sales from various brands go live all throughout the week. However, it all culminated with the launch of Best Buy’s weekend Memorial Day sale that started yesterday and goes through the Monday. Leading the way is a discount on Apple’s M1 MacBook Air at $800, which is $199 below the normal going rate. Ready to take your workstation on the go, this weekend’s discount makes now one of the better prices that we’ve seen lately. While not the brand-new M2 model, the M1 MacBook Air still packs a pair of Thunderbolt 4 ports, all-day battery life, a fanless design, and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. Find out the rest of what Best Buy has on sale in our Memorial Day coverage from yesterday.
Are you still using an older set of true wireless headphones? Maybe you’re not using true wireless headphones at all yet. Either way, you’ll find that Apple’s latest AirPods Pro 2 feature improved active noise cancellation and allow you to quickly and easily take phone calls, watch YouTube videos, or access functions like Hey Siri with your voice. You’ll also find all-day battery life here with up to six hours of use in the AirPods themselves and another 30 hours from the charging case. Right now, Apple’s latest AirPods 2 earbuds are on sale for $200, which saves $49 from the normal going rate and marks the second-best price to date.
Are you still walking to the thermostat to turn your AC up or down? Well, make this summer the one where you finally go smart with heating and cooling. You’ll find that with summer just a month away, Nest’s Thermostat is currently on sale for $100. This smart thermostat can be controlled from an app on your phone or even through Siri thanks to the new Matter integration that just started rolling out. You’ll also find that the thermostat can be programmed to turn up when you head to work and back down before you arrive home, which helps save on your cooling bill this summer.
