Even now, the last-gen MacBook is a speedy machine with a stunning, spacious display.
It’s been a good week for Apple fans. Not only did Apple announce its forthcoming “Let Loose” event, but the entire M3-powered 13-inch MacBook Air lineup received a notable discount. And now, the 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro chip has plunged to an all-time low. If you require a laptop capable of handling more intense workloads than the Air, authorized Apple retailer Expercom is selling the last-gen MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, a 12‑core CPU, and a 19‑core GPU for $1,998.99 ($500 off) via Amazon.
Like the new M3-powered MacBook Pros, Apple’s last-gen MacBooks can tackle tasks like video editing and photo processing while lasting well over a full workday, which makes them better suited for creative professionals than Apple’s entry-level offerings. They also sport the same gorgeous Mini LED display found on the newer models — which is great for multitasking and streaming — along with a solid port selection that includes three USB-C / Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI-out, and an SD card slot. Granted, the new M3 MacBook Pros are faster and offer more RAM, but the M2 Pro models are still a great combo of speed and efficiency, especially at this price.

If you’re looking to add voice controls and some basic scheduling to appliances and other traditional gadgets, Eve’s Energy Smart Plug & Power Meter is receiving a rare discount at Amazon. Right now, you can pick up the plug for $34.19 (about $5 off) when you clip the on-page coupon, which is about $5 shy of the all-time low we briefly saw in January.
As a Matter-over-Thread device, Eve’s handy smart plug works with a wide range of smart home platforms, including Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and even Apple Home. It offers the most detailed energy monitoring of all the plugs we’ve tested, letting you drill into the estimated cost of using your device by the week, day, and even hour. The Eve companion app also provides an array of more granular logs and charts so you can easily track your total consumption and cost, which can go a long way in helping you save money on your energy bills over time.
A few more deals and discounts
- LG’s 65-inch C3 OLED is on sale at Woot for $1,446.99 ($1,053 off) for the next month or so, which is just $9 shy of its all-time low. The last-gen TV doesn’t support variable refresh rates up to 144Hz like the newer C4 model, but it’s still an impressive 4K option that’s great for gaming, thanks to its superb black levels, comprehensive HDMI 2.1a support, and speedy 120Hz refresh rate.
- Anker’s 622 Magnetic Battery is available from Amazon and Anker for $34.99 (50 percent off), which matches its best price to date. In addition to wirelessly delivering 7.5 watts of power to MagSafe-compatible iPhones, the handy Qi charger serves as a sturdy, StandBy-ready kickstand. Plus, its USB-C port offers passthrough charging, so you can top it off while simultaneously charging your phone. Read our guide to the best magnetic chargers.
- Epomaker’s TH80 Pro is currently down to $76.49 when you clip the on-page coupon at Amazon, which is one of its best prices to date. The 75 percent mechanical keyboard is one of our favorite models, particularly if you’re looking for a budget-friendly wireless alternative to Keychron’s entry-level boards. It supports multiple Bluetooth connections, offers a great typing feel, and comes with your choice of hot-swappable switches (including linear and clicky options). It features per-key RGB lighting, too, but use it sparingly unless you want to drain its battery life quickly.
- Amazon and Best Buy are both selling Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 2 for $99.99 ($50 off), which puts them on par pricing-wise with entry-level Galaxy Buds FE. They don’t feature the flat buttons and secure wing tip design found on the latter, but they do offer wireless charging, great sound for the price, and a discrete design that makes them a good default for Android phone owners seeking a cheap set of earbuds.
