Today's deals: Apple MacBook Air, Razer Blade, Google Pixel and more

It’s Wednesday. So it’s time for another Deal Master. There are plenty of notable deals on the latest M2-based Apple MacBook Air, Google’s value-packed Pixel 6a, the 15-inch Razer Blade gaming laptop, and more.

For years, we thought the MacBook Air was the best Mac for most users. Its long battery life, sleek design, and excellent performance combine to easily handle most basic tasks you throw at it.

In our review of the 2022 model, the M2 processor makes it one of the most performant and efficient laptops on the market for general information tasks like browsing the web, working with documents and jumping into a Zoom call. I understand that they are one. It also has a great keyboard and trackpad. His $999 MacBook Air, $200 off, isn’t the lowest I’ve ever tracked, but it’s a solid deal. If you don’t mind running the processor back to his predecessor M1, you’ll be happy to handle a similar workload on the 2020 MacBook Air, which currently retails for $800.

Google’s Pixel 6a also sells for an all-time low of $339. It might be the best value you can get for a smartphone that uses flagship-level processing and cameras, and the clean, polished software that runs under the hood. , Samsung SD and microSD cards, and more. Check out the full, curated list below.
