Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is starting off with our growing collection of Apple gear Labor Day deals you’ll find organized for you right here. We are also highlighting a 1TB M4 MacBook Air configuration with 24GB of RAM at $200 off the list ($600 under the MSRP on the comparable MacBook Pro), price drops on all of Apple’s most affordable current-gen iPad models starting from $299, and an even lower price on AirPods 4 ANC at $139. The 1TB iPhone 15 Pro Max has now dropped even lower at over $720 off, and we also spotted one of the best prices yet on Satechi’s metal 15W Trio MagSafe Wireless Charging Pad. All of that and more awaits below.
Save $200 on Apple’s 1TB M4 MacBook Air with 24GB of RAM – $600 less than comparable MacBook Pro
Joining the ongoing $200 price drops across the most affordable M4 MacBook Air models that are carrying into Labor Day weekend, folks looking to land an upgraded config are also in luck. As part of the B&H Labor Day sale, we are tracking heavily upgraded 1TB models you can’t even buy at Amazon with straight up $200 price drops.
While you can get into the M4 MacBook Pro lineup for the sort of cash you’ll spend on these discounted M4 MacBook Air configurations, you certainly won’t be getting the same sort of internal RAM and storage specs.
As you can see above, B&H is offering $200 off a series of 1TB M4 MacBook Air configurations to deliver the lowest prices we can find from a reputable dealer on these upgraded models.
Let’s take the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air 24GB/1TB as an example here. You can in fact score the base model M4 MacBook Pro for $100 less than this at Amazon right now – it is currently $300 off the list price at $1,299 shipped. The Pro has the same 10‑core CPU and 10‑core GPU, and an even better display, but only 16GB of RAM and half the internal storage – and we all know how pricey Apple upgrades are.
For some, the 16GB of RAM and a half TB of SSD action is more than enough, if that’s the case we recommend going with the Pro model. But if you want the upgraded specs, a 24GB/1TB M4 Pro is going to cost you $1,699 shipped – that is $300 off, but also $300 more than the M4 MacBook Air we are featuring here today.
And if you don’t care about any of this and would rather just score a current-generation machine at the lowest possible price, they are all on sale and waiting for you below:
Amazon just dropped the price on AirPods 4 again, ANC now at $139 and base model at $90
Apple is about ready to unleash the new AirPods Pro 3, but by just about all accounts the AirPods 4 are not getting a refresh this year. And not only is Amazon offering the base model set down at $89.99 shipped right now, it just dropped the price on the AirPods 4 with ANC even lower to $138.99 shipped.
