This MacBook Air Is Selling at Half the Price of a MacBook Pro, Amazon Clears Out Prime Day Stock

gizmodo.com Gizmodo Deals 2026-02-20 17:40:42

Apple has come a significant distance in reducing the MacBook Air’s price, and Amazon is pushing the value even harder on Prime Day. As things stand now, Prime members can acquire the 2025 MacBook Air with the performance-oriented M4 chip for just $849 in the 256GB version (down from $999). To put this into perspective, the starting price for a MacBook Pro is at least $1,599, which makes this Air model less than half the cost.

The Prime Day sale on TCL’s 85-inch TV is one of the best deals out there

theverge.com John Higgins 2026-02-20 17:14:36

Prime Day 2025 is the best time this year to get a big-screen TV. Sure, there are deals in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, but those are generally on the previous year’s TV because most new models haven’t been released yet. Prime Day, however, comes after most major TV refreshes — including the 85-inch TCL QM8K, available for a limited time at Amazon and Best Buy for $2,499.99 ($1,300 off).

The first time I glimpsed the city of New Orleans, I was a small boy in the wheelhouse of a tugboat. My father pushed barges up and down the Mississippi River, and sometimes he let me tag along.

Because of that childhood memory, my relocation felt somehow transgressive. I was going where I did not belong. Sh
