Sure, there are newer MacBook models around, but the 2022 M2 MacBook Air is still a beast and a solid choice for most users — especially those on a budget. Mashable's Alex Perry gave this laptop a 4.6/5 rating in his review, where he called it "an ideal job companion with excellent performance and one of the best keyboards around." And it's an especially great buy today, as the base model (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) is back down to its record-low price of $799 — that's 20% in savings and matches its Prime Day price.

The third-generation Apple AirPods offer plenty of upgrades from the previous iteration, including longer battery life, better sound quality, a sleeker design, and personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking. We really wish they offered noise cancellation, but we're more willing to forgive the design flaw when they're on sale at this price. As of Sept. 3, you can slash 17% off and grab a pair for $139.99 instead of the usual $169. That's just $20 away from their record-low from Prime Day.
Opens in a new window Credit: Sony Sony WH-CH520 wireless headphones $39.99 at Amazon $59.99 Save $20.00
While they're not Sony's fanciest headphones, the budget-friendly Sony WH-CH520s are still a solid pick. They offer up to 50 hours of battery life, a three-minute fast charge, customizable sound quality and profiles on the app, and a lightweight, cozy fit. Just pick a preset to match the genre you're listening to, or completely create your own. Regularly $59.99, you can grab the WH-CH520 headphones on sale for only $39.99 as of Sept. 3. That's 33% in savings and just a few bucks shy of their lowest price on record.
