The weekend’s best deals: The newest MacBook Pros, Kindle Kids, iPad Air, and more.

It’s the weekend. So another deal master. In this week’s roundup of the web’s best tech deals, Amazon’s Fire HD and Kindle tablets, heavily discounted computer peripherals, and even Apple’s just-announced MacBook Pro are slashed.

Amazon’s Kindle Kids e-readers plummet to record lows $85 (usually $120). It’s the same device as the latest Kindle ($100), but comes with a case, a two-year warranty, and his one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+. The regular price for all of these is $20 more than regular Kindle devices, but this retail price makes the Kindle Kids version cheaper.

Our review states that the latest Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite are evenly matched as two of Amazon’s best low-end Kindles. It has very few extra features and serves its intended purpose. Helps you read books by text or voice. Also note that it’s especially great for kids, even without the perks of the kid’s version, because of its size and the ability to play audiobooks.

This week, Apple also announced the latest 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros with the M2 Pro chip. Both tout a significant increase in power and efficiency over their predecessors, which were already true portable powerhouses for the heaviest users. When it first came out, we confidently named it “What You’ve Been Waiting For.” HDMI. However, all of them cost a lot of money, and the newest Pro is no exception.

Elsewhere on the web, Apple’s 2022 iPad Air is back in shape. $499 ($551) Holiday Prices, $300 Off Razer’s 15-inch Blade Gaming Laptop, And Some Computer Gaming Peripherals At Big Drops. Check out the full, curated list below.
