Don’t Miss Best Buy’s Apple Sale on AirPods, MacBooks and More for This Weekend Only [CNET]

The event, which runs through Sunday, offers hundreds off popular Apple products including iPad Air, MacBooks and headphones.

Apple makes some of the best laptops and mobile phones out there, not to mention a host of other top-notch devices. Packed with speed, camera features and user-friendly interfaces, all those perks come with a price tag. So when Apple products go on sale, we take notice. This weekend only, Best Buy’s Apple Sale Event offers you the chance to save hundreds across the entire lineup of Apple products. You’ll need to act fast though, this sale ends on Sunday, Aug. 11.

While it’s a good idea to check out the Best Buy Apple sale in full for yourself, we’re going to highlight a couple of the standout deals below. 

First up is one of the best iPad models of recent years, the fifth-gen iPad Air. While a 2024 model was just released, the previous-gen Air still offers impressive processing speeds, an excellent 11-inch display and a thin and light design that makes it easy to tote around on the daily. Not only is it $200 off right now, but it also comes with three months free of Apple TV, Apple Fitness, Apple Music and four months of Apple Arcade. The extras here go a long way to making your first few months with it particularly enjoyable and a good chance to test out some of the subscriptions available to you. There’s also the potential to get up to to $250 in trade-in credit if you have a previous gen iPad or similar device to swap in.

It’s also worth taking a look at some of the best MacBook options, including both the M2 MacBook Air and new M3 MacBook Air at up to $200 off with MacBook Pro models seeing as much as $1,000 in savings for My Best Buy Plus members.
