We’re heading into the weekend with all of today’s best deals, courtesy of our friends over at 9to5Toys. On tap for this Friday, Apple’s 13-inch M2 MacBook Air is an even better value at $980. New all-time lows are delivering up to $160 in savings to go alongside a Sonos summer sale that’s marking down some of the most popular smart audio gear on the market from $134. And if you’re looking for the last charger your desk will need, a rare markdown is delivering Satechi’s latest 200W GaN power station with six USB-C ports for $128. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
13-inch M2 MacBook Airs now start from $980 lows
Woot is now closing the work week by discounting Apple’s latest 13-inch M2 MacBook Air starting at $979.99 Prime shipped for a 256GB open-box model. Shipping will run you $6 otherwise. Normally fetching $1,099 following a price cut announcement at WWDC, today’s offer delivers $119 in savings and the best discount we’ve seen. It was last at $999 for a new condition model, and now those who don’t mind going the open-box route can lock-in some added savings. Alongside the entry-level model, Woot also has the 512GB configuration for $1,229.99. This is landing at yet another one of the best prices yet with $160 in savings attached.
Apple’s all-new M2 MacBook Air comes powered by its latest in-house chip and pairs with a refreshed form-factor. The 13-inch Liquid Retina Display sports a 500-nit brightness to complete the P3 wide color support and pairs with a 1080p FaceTime camera with three-mic array and Spatial Audio-enabled speakers, though the real highlight has to be the return of MagSafe charging, which pairs with other I/O like dual Thunderbolt ports. Learn more about the entry-level configuration’s performance.

Apple’s all-new 15-inch M2 MacBook Air now $100 off
Apple’s all-new 15-inch M2 MacBook Air officially begins arriving tomorrow, and just a day ahead of time, is now going on sale. Courtesy of Amazon, you can now drop the entry-level 256GB configuration down to $1,199. That’s $100 off the usual $1,299 going rate and landing as an extension of the retailer’s first chance to save. This is also the only offer we’ve seen outside of Apple’s direct edu pricing on the most affordable model of Apple’s new release, while clocking in at $50 below the original pre-launch offer. Those who need extra storage can also save $100, as the 512GB configuration drops to $1,399.
The shiny new addition to the macOS roster arrives as the new 15-inch M2 MacBook Air. It takes everything that has made the 13-inch counterpart one of the most loved machines ever from Apple and sizes it up to a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display with 500 nits of brightness, P3 wide color, and the new aspect ratio with notched webcam. It’s still a compact build that is as slim as they come while still sporting Apple Silicon performance and 18-hour battery life. We further breakdown the experience in our launch coverage.

Sonos launches rare pre-summer sale from $134
Sonos today is ending the work week by offering a rare chance to save on some of its latest speakers and soundbars. Normally when we see Sonos gear go on sale lately, it has been on its in-house refurbished gear. That changes today, and the popular brand is marking down a collection of smart audio releases for only the second time this year. Shipping is free across the board. Our favorite release from the sale has the recent Sonos Beam Gen 2 sitting at $399. On top of joining everything else in the sale as being on sale for only the second time this year, it’s also one of the first discounts to date overall at $100 off. This is matching the all-time low and is the first chance to save since back in February. Equipped with the same compact form-factor as its predecessor, you’re looking at a 5-driver design alongside Dolby Atmos support. Otherwise, you’re looking at AirPlay 2, NFC, HDMI eARC, and all of the usual Sonos features for building out a home theater setup. You can get some additional insight in our launch coverage, as well.
Satechi’s 200W GaN charger packs 6 USB-C ports
Satechi’s official Amazon storefront is now offering its latest 200W GaN 6-port USB-C Charging Station for $128. Normally fetching $150, you’re looking at one of the first discounts since releasing earlier in the year. Today’s offer amounts to $22 in savings and comes within $8 of the all-time low. It is also the third-best discount to date. The charger was out of stock during the last sitewide sale from Satechi, too.
This power station from Satechi arrives with more than enough juice to top off anything your workstation can throw at it. Across all six USB-C PD slots is the 200W power output that can handle refueling everything from M2 Pro MacBooks with a 140W output to iPhones, and iPads, earbuds, and other accessories. It has become a staple in my charging setup after I took a hands-on look in our latest Tested with 9to5Toys review earlier in the spring, too.
Apple’s official 35W Dual USB-C Charger falls to $44 low
Landing just before the weekend, Amazon is now offering one of the first chances to save on Apple’s new 35W Dual USB-C Charger. After launching last spring, the accessory is now marked down to $44 shipped. Clocking in at an extra $1 below our last mention, today’s offer is down from the usual $59 price tag in order to deliver an all-time low. This is only the second time it has dropped this low, arriving to refuel both your iPhone 14 and Apple Watch Series 8, or any number of other Apple releases in a streamlined designed at 24% off. The compact build has a foldable plug with the usual white plastic finish you’d expect from an official accessory as well as a 35W output split across both of the USB-C ports. We also break down the experience further in our launch coverage.
Alongside the dual-port offering above, Amazon is also discounting some other official Apple USB-C chargers. Including four other options with varying power outputs, each one is matching the all-time low set just once before.
Other Apple USB-C chargers on sale:
- 96W: $59 (Reg. $79)
- 30W: $29 (Reg. $49)
- 20W: $16 (Reg. $19)
Belkin makes one of the only video doorbells on the market with HomeKit Secure Video
The best price yet is now arriving on one of the few HomeKit video doorbells on the market. Amazon now offers the Wemo Smart Video Doorbell with HomeKit Secure Video for $168.29 shipped. Down from $250, you’re looking at a new all-time low at 33% off. This is the first chance to save in months, since back in February where it fell down to $195.
Having just launched about a year ago, this Wemo smart doorbell is one of the first options on the market outfitted with HomeKit Secure Video support, but there’s more to the story than just integration with Apple’s smart home system. It also sports a 4MP camera sensor that is backed by a 178-degree field of view for delivering 1080p feeds into the Home app. The dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity is a nice touch for making sure that it can still get service out on the porch, and the IP55 weather-resistance helps it stand up to the elements. Our launch coverage gives you a better idea of what to expect if you’re not sold, as well.
