Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by the MacBook launch week deals – up to $320 off Air, $200 off M5 Pro models, and more, but we have also spotted a chance to save some cash on the already affordable MacBook Neo from $569 as well. Amazon is now offering $100 off new 2026 Apple Studio Display XDR, we have this 1TB M3 iPad Air at a giant $350 off, and we also have a new Amazon all-time low on Neon Green Apple Watch Ultra Ocean Band. Head below for a closer look at everything.

MacBook launch week deals: Up to $320 off Air, $200 off M5 Pro models, Neo from $569, more

Apple unleashed a collection of all-new MacBooks this week with pre-order deliveries landing across the country yesterday. But if you still have your eye on one, or are perhaps considering a previous model with a much deeper discount, there are some solid MacBook launch deals to be had right now – up to $320 off MacBook Air, $200 off MacBook Pro models, and more. Scope it all out down below.

M5 Pro launch week discounts

Select M5 models up to $200 off

New M5 MacBook Air launch week discounts

Select M4 Air up to $320 off

MacBook Neo

Apple’s exciting new entry-level MacBook Neo already starts down at $599 – that’s impressive even without a discount if you ask me (at least by Apple standards anyway) – but there are no cash deals for launch week right now. That said, Best Buy is still offering up the same $25 credit it had during the pre-order phase, but only for paid Plus and Total members.

Score a deal on the already affordable MacBook Neo w/ these Best Buy open-box units from $569

Apple is making headlines with the new MacBook Neo, and rightfully so with a $599 starter price. While we are yet to see any straight up cash discounts like we are on the brand new M5 MacBook Air and M5 Pro MacBook Pro right now, there are some “excellent” condition open-box units via Best Buy at under the retail listings right now. 

While these aren’t massive price drops, folks looking to land the lowest possible price might want to consider these options. They ship with 1-year Apple warranties and considering how new these machines are, you would think they would be in particularly “good “excellent” condition – they might even just be floor models. 

There might very well be be folks waiting for the first open-box “excellent” condition units to appear on Best Buy, so these units might go quick. 

More details on Best Buy open-box units:

  • Geek Squad Verified
  • Works and looks like new. Restored to factory settings.
  • Includes all parts and accessories. Packaging may vary or be absent.
  • 1-year warranty

Amazon now offering $100 off new 2026 Apple Studio Display XDR with Tilt/Height-Adjustable Stand

This 1TB M3 iPad Air is a giant $350 off at Amazon right now, M4 model $100 off

The new M4-powered iPad Air has now been unleashed into the wild, and we are tracking launch week deals across every model at up to $100 off. But we also wanted to give some extra love to the Amazon all-time low we are tracking on this 1TB M3 model at a sizable $350 off the list. 

Amazon is currently offering Apple’s 1TB 13-inch iPad Air in the purple colorway down at $949 shipped. This model still carries a $1,299 list price at Amazon and is now $350 off. The other two colorways Amazon still has in stock are selling for $1,149. 

Previous to this deal, we had never tracked this model going for any less than the $1,149 the other colors are listed at right now. But with the additional $200 discount, you are looking at a new Amazon all-time low and a particularly deep discount for a Wi-Fi M3 iPad Air – these machines are very rarely ever sold for better than $150 off. 

As mentioned above, the newer M4 models have arrived and, just for comparison’s sake, the 1TB 13-inch M4 is selling for $1,199 – that’s $100 off the $1,299 list price and a notable deal for a just-released iPad, but not nearly as low as the M3 is right now. 

Here’s how the deal pricing lands across the new M4 lineup right now:

M4 iPad Air 11-inch

M4 iPad Air 13-inch

Official Neon Green Apple Watch Ultra Ocean Band drops to new Amazon all-time low at 35% off

Apple’s medium-size Terra Cotta Alpine Loop just hit a new Amazon all-time low

Rose Gold Apple Watch Series 11 Cell models hit Amazon all-time lows at up to $170 off today

Today’s accessories and charging deals:

M4 iPad Air launch deals: Up to $100 off at Amazon and Best Buy

Alongside the deals we spotted this morning on the three new MacBook releases, we are also tracking some notable discounts on the brand new M4 iPad Air for launch day. Apple’s upgraded iPad Air now sports M4 power and there are deals on just about every single configuration for launch day – up to $100 off at Amazon with price matches now live at Best Buy on the more affordable models.

Previous to launch, earlier this week, we spotted Amazon delivering the best prices on the internet for the new M4 iPad. It was offering straight up cash discounts on several models with no strings attached, no gift cards, and no membership requirements, just straight up deals. 

This all remains true as of launch day, but you’ll now find even more colors across the four storage tiers carrying the early deals. Amazon still has the most extensive price drops here, delivering as much as $100 off on the higher-end tiers, but Best Buy has now matched across the two most affordable storage tiers – 128GB and 256GB – to offers folks some options, or just to accommodate some store credit you might have waiting in the holster. 

Amazon has Apple’s most affordable current-gen iPad down at $299 today (All colors)

While it was rumored to be updating the base model iPad as part of its late winter/early spring launch schedule, Apple focused on the new MacBook lineup and the upgraded M5 iPad Air. And now with launch deals now live on the new Air, Amazon has decided to drop all of the current-gen iPad 11 models down to $299 shipped. 

Amazon is now offering all four colors of Apple’s most affordable current-generation iPad down at $299 shipped. This model launched last year with a $350 list price and you’ll now find all colors starting down at $299. 

While we have seen this same price many a times in the past and it did fall to $279 for Black Friday last year, it has otherwise been a few months since we have seen all four colors of the most affordable storage tier sitting down this low. If you’re looking for a super affordable and casual iPad option right now, this is the best price around in new condition.

At the time of writing, Best Buy is charging $329, for example. 

For those looking towards Apple’s latest iPad release, you’ll find details on the launch week deals right here and down below:
