The M2 MacBook Air is 0 cheaper than ever, along with some of the best tech deals this week.

Black Friday/Cyber Monday is just over a month away (Thanksgiving is November 28th this year — I’m looking it up so you don’t have to). So while we’re waiting for all the best discounts of the year that the shopping event usually goes with it, there are still a few good deals out there on tech that we’ve reviewed and recommended. For example, the space gray M2 MacBook Air (our best budget Apple laptop pick) is down to $700 with a coupon on the page. For those ready to make (delicious) ice cream at home, Ninja Creami has a $40 off coupon code. There are plenty of Anker batteries and accessories on sale too, and we’ve got discounts on a few select video games to round out the savings. Here are this week’s best tech deals you can get today.

Ninja Creami ice cream maker for $160 at Ninja ($40 off): Use the code CREAM40 saving $40 off the list price directly from Ninja. The 7-in-1 ice cream maker is not your average appliance, as we make clear in our Ninja Creami review. It is based on equipment found in restaurants, and creates high-quality frozen treats.
Anker Prime Power Bank 27,650mAh for $130 at Amazon ($50 off): This beefy battery is mentioned in our guide to portable batteries. It carries extra charge for laptops, tablets and phones and can be paired with a dock of your choice to recharge the unit itself. This sale price is about $5 more than the lowest price.
Anker 633 Magnetic Battery, 10,000mAh for $40 at Amazon ($40 off): Other Anker batteries are also on sale on Amazon right now, including this MagSafe compatible option for half the price.
Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 Trackers at Amazon (4-pack) for $64 ($36 off): While this isn’t a record low price — it’s down to $60 on Labor Day — it’s a solid discount on our pick of the best Bluetooth trackers for Samsung devices. We love the design of the fob itself and the great finder network that calls other Samsung devices out in the field to find your lost items.
Apple Watch Series 10 for $370 at Amazon ($30 off): Apple released its Series 10 Watch a month ago and it has come down to its lowest price yet. The wearable earned a 90 in our review thanks to its slim frame and large screens and is our favorite smartwatch overall. The 42mm model is down to $370 from $399 in Jet Black and the 46mm model is down to $399 from $429 in Jet Black and Silver Aluminum.
Apple Watch Ultra 2 (small band) for $700 at Amazon ($99 off) : If you have a small hand (or plan to change the watch band anyway) you can grab the AW Ultra 2 with a titanium case for about $100 off. Sale only applies to small size Alpine Loop in indigo or olive. This is still the current model of Apple’s largest smartwatch, as the new one was not present during the Apple iPhone 16 event in September.
Anker Charging Station (100W) for $40 at Amazon ($20 off): On any given day, I check (and thus need to recharge) between one and four electronic devices — e-readers, smart watches, portable batteries and more — and I have my phones and gadgets. This compact box is the only thing I’ve found that has enough holes to carry everything at once. I wish I had bought mine on sale.

MacBook Air (M2, 2022) — Devindra Hardawar/Engadget

Apple MacBook Air (2022, M2) for $700 at Amazon ($299 off): The M2 MacBook Air is currently $700, which is close to the lowest price yet. The space gray model needs to use a $149 off $849 off coupon to get the full deal and other colors have been dropping to that low without a coupon for the past few days. This is the 2022 model that received high praise from us in our review. It’s also Engadget’s pick for the best budget MacBook.
Samsung S90C OLED TV (65″) for $1,300 at Best Buy ($300 off MSRP): This 2023 model has received high marks across the web, and the difference between it and the new S90D isn’t huge and the new one is $300 more. This deal is about $20 more than the lowest price we tracked for the 65-inch model.
Roborock Q5 DuoRoller+ for $300 at Amazon ($150 off): This model made our list of the best budget robot vacuums because of its strong suction power, LiDAR mapping accuracy and robust app and voice controls. The 33 percent discount is a record low.
Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) for $300 at Amazon ($49 off): If you have sprung a 13-inch iPad Pro and want the same keyboard, to make a real computer switch (in terms of both utility and cost), you can at least take advantage of this sale. The keyboard is well made, pairs well with Apple accessories. This deal is a new low.
Anker Prime 67W USB C Charger for $40 at Amazon ($60 off): This is almost $2 more than last Black Friday’s lowest price. Anker products often find themselves at the top of our list of chargers, batteries and more. So if you need a quick charge for your few small devices, this should work fine for you.
JLab Go Air Sport for $14 at Amazon ($16 off): The Go Air Sport is the budget pick in our best performance headphones guide. The hook design stays in place and the water resistance catches sweat and light rain. This is close to the lowest price. Just be sure to click the $6 off page coupon, and note that it only applies to the teal color.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max + Xbox Core Wireless Controller (Sky Cipher) + 1-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $80 at Amazon ($67 off): This bundle is probably here to promote the fact that you can play Xbox games over the cloud using the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. This comes with a streaming stick, a “Sky Cipher” version of the Series X/S pad, which usually costs between $60 and $70, and a month of Game Pass Ultimate. The 4K Max is also an incredibly respectable retro gaming machine.
