Happy Saturday, dear readers! A little over a week ago, we saw a bundle containing the disc-based “slim” PlayStation 5 and a digital copy of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 drop to $449 ($50 off), a deal that's still available at Amazon, Best Buyand Game stop. However, what has changed over the past week is that Amazon, Best Buyand Game stop Everyone is now selling the discless PS5 digital edition with the same Spiderman sequel for $399.99 ($50 off), an all-time low.
If you've been thinking about picking up Sony's latest console, there's never been a better time to do so. Sony's new mid-cycle update isn't drastically thinner than the original model that launched in 2020, although it does feature two front USB-C ports, instead of one USB-C and one USB-A, as well as 1TB expanded built-in storage (up from 825GB). The standard model also comes with a removable disc drive for playing physical games and other Ultra HD Blu-ray discs, which, if you buy the base PS5 Digital Edition, you can still purchase at a later date for $79.99. The optional unit is also relatively easy to connect and disconnect and requires no tools.
We've been hearing rumors about a new MacBook Air and iPad range for several months, and this week Apple confirmed the existence of the former. As of yesterday, March 8, the M3-powered MacBook Air is available for purchase, raising hopes that we'll see new iPad Pros (and a larger version of its cheaper sibling, the iPad Air) any day now. .
If they are released, Apple's high-end tablets will likely be the most expensive. However, if you need a powerful tablet right now, the M1 and M2 versions of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro have some of their best prices yet. Currently you can take the Next-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro with LTE capability in Wow for an all-time low of $809.99 ($490 off) with 128GB of storage. Alternatively, My Best Buy Plus Members can snag the newest iPad Pro powered by M2 from $949.99 ($150 off).
Both are powerful tablets that you can use as a laptop replacement, the kind that lets you easily create digital artwork or tackle more demanding photo or video editing jobs while on the go. They may not have the supposed OLED display that we could see on Apple's upcoming models, but they do offer beautiful Mini LED panels with a maximum refresh rate of up to 120Hz. The M1 model just isn't as snappy and does away with some newer features, including Wi-Fi 6E support.
