Cyber Monday accessory sale: Apple Pencil, Magic Mouse, and more get deals

It’s not often at all that we see deep discounts on Apple products, but Cyber Monday has brought us some substantial discounts across all types of Apple-branded stuff, and not just MacBooks, Apple Watches, or iPhones. Amazon has slashed up to 25% off select Apple accessories for the biggest online shopping day of the year.

The Apple Pencil gets a $20 price cut, bringing its price down from $99 to $79: the Magic Mouse 2 is also discounted $20, bringing its price down to $59. If you’re looking for a new keyboard for your Mac, the wireless Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad is marked down from $129 to $99.

As far as we’ve seen, these are the cheapest prices yet for any sale so far, so we’d recommend taking advantage of the sales as soon as possible. We’re not sure when the promotional prices end, but they should be good through the end of Cyber Monday and possibly into Cyber Week — but we can’t guarantee the latter.

One word of caution: The Apple Pencil here is the first-generation model. The second-generation model can be found here and is on sale for $119 for Cyber Monday. Keep in mind that pencil is only compatible with newer iPads — if you have an older model, you’ll need to use the first generation pencil.

There isn’t a real dramatic difference between the two; the newer model features a more traditional pencil-like design and can detect pressure a whole lot better to adjust the way your ink draws on the screen. Otherwise, you’ll be fine using the original Apple Pencil for most drawing and writing applications. We’ve used both versions of the Apple Pencil, and haven’t had issues with either — although pairing was sometimes a little wonky if we allowed the Pencil to completely run out of charge. Just don’t let that happen and you’ll be fine.

Both the Magic Mouse and Keyboard in this sale are the most current models of either and a good pickup for laptop owners, or as a replacement if your current keyboard and mouse are showing their age.

The great deals extend to other Apple products too, and there are plenty to check out as Cyber Monday comes to an end,

Your performance during the day often depends on how well you sleep at night. If you're having trouble sleeping, no matter the reason, you're simply not going to feel great during the day. Most of us have experienced that horrible moment of jolting awake after falling asleep at our desks in front of our computers -- and coworkers. Our bodies and minds are finicky; we might be having trouble sleeping because of a variety of reasons: It's too hot, it's too cold, you took an accidental nap after work, you're too stressed to sleep, your partner is snoring. The list goes on and on and on. Then, once you're asleep, you might have trouble staying asleep.

There are a few things that can be difficult to remedy. However, there are plenty of ways to create the perfect environment that will make it as easy as possible for your body to get to sleep, and stay asleep, so you can spend your day alert, in a good mood, and feeling good. One of those ways is to get yourself the perfect sheet set and pillow. After all, if you feel like you've slept well and stayed asleep all night, but you're still waking up in pain or you just don't feel comfortable once you're awake, it might be your sheets and pillow.

The Google Pixel 4 is still on sale for Best Buy’s Cyber Week sale today

Cyber Monday is over, but retailers like Best Buy are still offering Cyber Week deals today. Though not all of the discounts are as good as yesterday, now is still a good time to buy Google's latest Pixel smartphones thanks to a couple of smartphone deals for the Pixel 4 series. You've probably seen plenty of commercials for them by now, showing off how they're excellent at taking photographs -- especially when it comes to capturing the stars in the night sky. Well, if you waited until its post-launch day, you're going to be rewarded because Best Buy is discounting the phones heavily for Cyber Week alongside some Apple iPhone deals.

The big-box retailer is discounting the unlocked models of the Google Pixel 4 and 4 XL by $50, making the 64GB versions $750 and $850, respectively. These prices are a bit more reasonable, especially when the Pixel 4 retails for $800. If you think 64GB of storage isn't enough, then you can pay just an additional $100 to upgrade to the 128GB models
. These deals are outstanding when you factor in that they're unlocked, feature smooth scrolling with their 90Hz screens, and how they capture unbelievable, high-quality photos with their cameras.
