2020 iMac and MacBook Air are both $100 off right now

Late summer, when people are looking at back-to-school student laptop deals, can be the best time to take advantage of Apple deals, like these iMac deals and MacBook deals. It’s rare that we see top-tier Apple products on sale, which is why you should take note of this 13-inch MacBook Air (2020) for $99 off, as well as this iMac with Retina 5K Display (2020) for $100 off. These are some of the best Apple computers we saw in 2020; don’t miss out on this chance to save big.

Apple 13-inch MacBook Air (2020) — $900, was $999

If you’re looking for a super portable laptop, that’s light as air (sorry) and hyper-functional, the 2020 MacBook Air could be for you. It’s sleek, lightweight, and easily portable; and this laptop is built to impress, with a high-resolution Retina display, 8 GB of memory, and up to 18 hours of battery life. But in terms of performance, the real upgrade here is in the Apple-designed M1 chip, supported by 256 SSD storage that will load super quickly — and permit graphics that can move at ultra fast speeds. It promises to work well with all your apps, no matter what their provenance, from Adobe Creative Cloud, to Microsoft 365, to Google Drive. And for this MacBook Air, Apple has developed a cooling system that doesn’t use any fans — so you get top performance with none of the noise. Add to this advanced security measures, HD camera for video chats, touch ID, and two ThunderBolt 3 ports on the sides — and you have one impressive little laptop, for less.

It’s hard to find a better-looking desktop that can compete with this iMac’s storage, killer graphics, and overall performance (not to mention its speakers and webcam, which are some of the best we’ve seen). This iMac has a big, beautiful, 27-inch Retina display with a total resolution of 5120 x 2880, for 5K quality with a 16:9 aspect ratio. There’s also a 1080p FaceTime camera and a studio-quality three-mic array, so that all your video calls, classes, and meetings will come through with incredible clarity. Under the hood, there’s killer processing power, too, namely a 10th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 graphics card. The result is an iMac that can handle the most demanding tasks, including the newest games, the highest quality video, and music and image editing. This iMac allows you to configure it with up to 8TB of SSD storage, which gives you not only more creative potential than the competition, but gives you a workhorse computer, as well. There’s very little this iMac can’t do.

Apple AirPods Max are $100 off in Amazon’s weekend flash sale

We don't often see excellent deals on Apple products, especially its higher-end stuff like the AirPods Max. That's exactly why we're so happy to see this deal from Amazon that discounts the AirPods Max down to $450 from $549, a whopping $100 discount we rarely see.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Max
There's a lot to say about the Apple AirPods Max, the least of which is that they have excellent audio thanks to Apple's H1 audio chip, which each cup has. Having so many chips on there means you get some fancy features, such as spatial audio and industry-leading ANC. As for audio fidelity, it's very clear, although not as punchy as something like the Sony WH-1000XM4, which isn't to say it isn't as deep; it has excellent bass, but it doesn't have the same mid-range boost as the XM4. As for the treble range, it's similarly clear and sparkly without being too tinny sounding, which makes it easier when listening to brass instruments, so it's great if you're into jazz or classical music. One thing to note is that you might get different listening experiences depending on whether ANC is on or off, but that seems to vary significantly by person.
