Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break deals are starting with a new Amazon all-time low on the 1TB M3 iPad Air – the 11-inch Cell model is now just shy of $250 off to deliver the lowest price we have tracked to date. From there we move over to a couple Mac models that are now even lower than yesterday with the 24GB M4 Pro Mac mini at $152 off the Apple price and the Midnight 15-inch 24GB M4 MacBook Air at $180 off. Head below for even more including a look at the all-new PowerBug.
This upgraded M3 iPad Air config just hit its best Amazon price ever at nearly $250 off, more from $499
While we did see $120 price drops delivering new all-time lows across the entire M3 iPad Air lineup for Prime Day a couple weeks ago, Amazon is offering a particularly notable deal at far better than that on one of the configurations this morning. Regularly $1,299, you’ll now find the 1TB 11-inch M3 iPad Airwith Wi-Fi + Cell upgrade down at $1,000.64 shipped – that nearly $250 off and the best price we have ever tracked on Amazon.
Now clearly a 1TB Cell model iPad Air is a far more niche configuration than say the base 11- and 13-inch models that sell for a whole lot less. But at this point, just about all of the configs had maxed out at $120 off – anything more than $100 off is particularly notable deal with most options never dropping any lower until Prime Day hit – and today’s deal delivers a far better discount than that.
If you happen to be eyeing an upgraded M3 Air as opposed to paying a whole lot more for the comparable M4 iPad Pro setup, it really doesn’t get a whole lot better than $250 off ($248.36 off to be exact here). We have featured clearance deals on the previous-generation M2 models that have been relatively popular among readers at $250 off this year, and today you’re getting the latest model that released not much more than a few months ago.
If you are looking to get in on the M3 Air lineup for less, that is certainly possible – the 11-inch lineup is starting at $499 shipped right now – but the actual deals on those options aren’t nearly as notable as we are seeing on the upgraded version above, or quite as deep as the offers we featured for Prime Day.
Apple’s 24GB M4 Pro Mac mini drops again to $1,247 ($152 off), 24GB M4 model down at $889
While we are yet to see the return of the $100 Prime Day price drop on the most affordable model, Amazon is offering some deals on the higher-end 24GB Mac mini releases, including the M4 and the M4 Pro variant that is now a touch lower than our previous mention. The M4 Mac mini with the 24GB RAM upgrade is currently sitting down at $889 while the more powerful M4 Pro model is going for $1,247 shipped, or $152 off the list price.
The entry-level 16GB with 256GB of storage is sitting at $540 and the 512GB variantis selling for $719 – we recommend holding off on these two until they are at least $100 off the list prices ($499 and $699). But the other two models are at far more notable prices right now:
The $110 price drop on the 24GB M4 is on par with the deal we spotted during the Prime Day festivities a couple weeks ago and the M4 Pro Mac mini is now undercutting our previous mention by a couple bucks for the lowest price of the summer deal season. Both models have gone for less in short-lived sales at Amazon in the past, but you are looking the lowest prices over the last month or so.
