Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break deals is headlined by our giant lineup of weekend Apple deals. We are once again heading into the weekend with all-time low pricing on the M3 iPad Air lineup alongside deals on M4 MacBook Air, iPad mini 7, AirPods 4, and a whole lot more all rounded up for you right here. On top of that we have also spotted a rare discount on the most affordable 24GB M4 MacBook Pro you can buy at $300 off alongside even deeper deals on M4 Max Mac Studio models at $300 off. Everything is waiting below.
Apple’s most affordable current-gen MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM now $300 off at $1,499 (Rare deal)
If you’re looking to buy a new MacBook Pro, the latest M4 series models are all seeing serious $300 price drops. No matter which configuration you’re after, it is almost certainly seeing a major discount right now and we have just spotted another one – the most affordable M4 MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM at $300 off.
B&H is now offering the M4 MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $1,499 shipped. You’re looking at a regularly $1,799 configuration at $300 off the list price and the best we can find. This deal is only available on the Space Black model.
This is another B&H special you simply can’t buy on Amazon. Not some custom job, but rather the same machine you would get straight from Apple if you configured the base model M4 MacBook with the 24GB RAM upgrade. It is, of course, a complete, fully legit setup coming straight from an authorized Apple dealer, not some sort of Frankenstein machine.
The most affordable model with 24GB of RAM Amazon even offers has 1TB of storage and is current marked down from $1,999 to $1,699 shipped – that, for the record, is the same price as the base model M4 Pro right now. But because you can’t configure this model with less storage, today’s deal at B&H is a rare offer and the lowest price we can find on the most affordable 24GB current-generation MacBook Pro.
But as mentioned above, there are $300 price drops on a number of MacBook Pro configs right now and you can scope them out below:
M4 Max Mac Studio prices drop even lower today at up to $300 off: 36GB/2TB, 64GB/1TB, more
B&H is currently offering a number of M4 Max Mac Studio configurations with hundreds in savings. The most affordable model with the deepest deal right now is this 14-Core/32-Core variant with 36GB of RAM and a 2TB internal SSD at $2,299 shipped. But there are several other configs seeing solid price drops you can scope out below.
There are more affordable M4 Max Mac Studio setups seeing price drops at B&H right now – they are highlighted down below, but this 36GB variant is the most affordable with a $300 discount right now.
This one also lands in somewhat of a nice middle ground as far as the M4 Max Studio lineup goes – it is clearly not anywhere near the price of the crazy high-end models and yet comes in as a far more powerful option than the regularly $1,999 base model.
That said, and as mentioned above, there are at least $200 in savings across a number of configs right now and you’ll find the real highlight options below – all but the most affordable option listed is now an additional $100 off our previous mention and you’ll find deals on the even higher-end models right here.

Today’s accessories and charging deals:
Entire M3 iPad Air lineup now undercutting Prime Day at $150 off with new all-time lows from $449
Update: Amazon has now matched the $150 price drops on several more colors since the time of writing:
This year’s Prime Day festivities that went live last month ushered in new all-time lows across the latest M3 iPad Air lineup, and especially the most affordable models that landed at $120 off. However, starting today both Amazon and Target are now offering straight up $150 price drops on the least pricey 11- and 13-inch models to deliver the best prices we have tracked all year anyone can take advantage of at retail online.
As of right now, Amazon’s selection of colors and storage capacities is somewhat more limited than Target, but you will find the 13-inch models starting at the new $649 shipped all-time low there with the $150 price drops going right up through the lineup: 128GB, 256GB, and the 512GB.
Amazon also has select 11-inch models starting down at the new $449 all-time low as well.
Over at Target today though, there are far more options across both the 11- and 13-inch sizes – both sizes and all storage capacities (outside of the 1TB model) and in all colors are now $149 off starting from $449.99 shipped:
M3 iPad Air 11-inch
M3 iPad Air 13-inch
We are very much expecting Amazon to price match on all models at $150 off here at some point. In fact, we are surprised it hasn’t already – it is very rare to see new all-time lows land across an entire current-generation Apple product vertical without Amazon getting in on the action. We will update this post accordingly if it does indeed match on the rest of the models.
Rare price drop hits M4 MacBook Air with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD at $200 off, more
The $200 price drops across just about every M4 MacBook Air configuration out there are indeed still live, including just about every single model Amazon carries. However, alongside the rare deal on a 1TB M4 MacBook Air, we also spotted another rare $200 price drop on a configuration with 32GB of RAM you can’t get on Amazon at one of the best prices we have tracked to date.
Over at B&H – an authorized Apple dealer that offers deals on upgraded configurations you can’t buy at retailers like Amazon and Best Buy – you will now find the 15-inch M4 MacBook Airheavily upgraded with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD down at $1,799 shipped.
If you were to configure this machine at Apple with these specs it would cost you just shy of $2,000.
Yes, this is the same $200 price drop you can get across the lineup right now, but this not a configuration we often see deals on – this is, in fact, one of the first chances we have tracked since release to land a M4 Air with 32GB of RAM (double the memory of the base models) on sale at all.
The question is, why would you pay $1,799 for an M4 MacBook Air when you can buy the M4 Pro MacBook Pro at $1,699 shipped right now? Well, I personally would pay the $1,699 deal price ($300 off) for the M4 Pro instead, but that might not be the case for everyone. Keep in mind the $1,699 Pro has 24GB of RAM and half the storage of this M4 Air, and it is also machine coming from a lineup that’s likely to be replaced by a new one this year.
