Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break deals are ready to roll. While we are now tracking $200 price drops across just about every M4 MacBook Air configuration, we also now have this Midnight 16GB M3 MacBook Air at $659 off the original price in Best Buy open-box condition with a 1-year Apple warranty (as well as a deal on this 24GB model). We spotted additional Amazon low price drops on the new M5 iPad Pro lineup, the best price to date on Apple’s new Qi2 25W 1-meter MagSafe Charger, and some new all-time lows on the Beats iPhone 17 Camera Control MagSafe case. Everything you need to know awaits below.

We have a featured a couple notable deals on the now previous-gen M3 MacBook Air as of late for folks looking to save a ton side-stepping the newer M4. While you can land $200 off the M4 models right now, we spotted a relatively rare deal on the 16GB/512GB 15-inch M3 MacBook Air in Midnight starting down at $775.99 shipped in open-box condition this morning – this model original launched at $1,699.
