Hello dear readers! Just over a week ago, we saw a package containing the PlayStation 5 "Slim" with a disc-based edition and a digital copy of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 go down to $449 (a $50 discount) – a deal still available on Amazon, the best purchase, and GameStop. However, what changed in the past week is that Amazon, the best purchase, and GameStop are all now selling the digital edition of the PS5 without a disc at the same Spiderman sequel for $399.99 (a $50 discount), the deal of a lifetime.
If you've been thinking about picking up Sony's latest console, there's never been a better time to do so. The new iteration of Sony's console isn't drastically different from the original model released in 2020, but it includes two front USB-C ports – instead of one USB-C and one USB-A – as well as an expanded 1TB of built-in storage (up to 825GB). The standard model also comes with a removable disk drive for physical games and other Ultra HD Blu-ray discs, so if you purchase the base digital edition of the PS5, you can still collect them later for $79.99. The optional drive is relatively easy to connect and disconnect and does not require tools.
We've been hearing rumors about a new MacBook Air and iPad for several months now, and this week Apple confirmed the existence of the former. Starting yesterday, March 8th, the M3-powered MacBook Air is available for purchase, raising hopes to see new professional iPads – and a larger, cheaper version of its sibling, the iPad Air – every day now.
If released, Apple's most advanced tablets are likely to be the most expensive yet. If you need a powerful tablet now, however, even the versions powered by M1 and M2 of the iPad Pro in 12.9 inches are dropping to some of their best prices yet. Right now, you can grab the latest 12.9-inch iPad Pro with LTE support at Woot for a low $809.99 ($490 off) with 128GB of storage. Alternatively, my Best Buy Plus members can grab the newer iPad Pro powered by M2 starting at $949.99 ($150 off).
Both are powerful tablets that can serve as replacements for your laptop, allowing you to easily create digital art or tackle more demanding photo or video editing work on the go. While they may not feature the rumored OLED display that we might see in Apple's upcoming models, they offer beautiful mini-LED screens with a maximum refresh rate of up to 120Hz. The M1 model is simply not lightweight and eliminates some newer features, including Wi-Fi 6E support.
