A rare deal just landed on the stunning 5K Apple Studio Display
Apple Mac Studio and Studio Display.

It's not often we see monitor deals that feature a good price on the Apple Studio Display. At the moment, that's changed with $100 off the Apple Studio Display 27-inch 5K monitor at Amazon. Sure, that's only 6% of bringing it down to $1,499 from $1,599 but it all adds up. If you've been waiting to buy one, this is a good opportunity to save a little on a planned purchase. Let's remind ourselves of why the Apple Studio Display is so desirable.

Why you should buy the Apple Studio Display
One of the big selling points of the Apple Studio Display is how well it blends in and pairs with your other Apple devices. It's a truly immersive 27-inch 5K retina display with 600 nits of brightness, support for one billion colors, and P3 wide color. Considered to be one of the best 5K monitors for the Mac ecosystem, it predictably takes hardly any setup. It has one Thunderbolt 3 port along with three USB-C ports. It's also capable of delivering 96W of power to charge your MacBook so it's great for making your whole setup run more smoothly with fewer cables involved.

Best Buy’s deal of the day is a 65-inch QLED 4K TV for $600
TCL Q Class Q6 QLED 4K TV.

If you aren't familiar with TCL, they're a company that's focused on budget-oriented TVs, although in the past few years, they've started breaking into the higher-end market too. For example, take this 65-inch TCL Q6 QLED 4K TV, which is not only quite sizeable but is also on sale at Best Buy for just $600, which isn't a lot considering what you're getting.

Why you should buy the 65-inch TCL Q6 QLED 4K TV
Probably the most impressive aspect of the Q6 class is that it uses a QLED panel rather than the traditional budget-oriented panels you might see in this price range. That means you get much better contrasts and brightness, which is even further helped by the fact that the Q6 comes with various types of HDR, including HDR10+. It also comes with HLG, which is the HDR standard used by many sports broadcasters, so if you're a fan of watching sports, you can get a very lifelike experience. That said, the base refresh rate of the screen is only 60Hz, so it's not as good as 120Hz for action-packed content, although it's still enough for most modern console gaming, such as the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X.

MacBook Air is still at its lowest-ever price following Prime Day 2023
The M1-powered Macbook Air, open on a table.

The 256GB version of the M1-powered Apple MacBook Air 2020 was on sale for its lowest-ever price of $750 for Amazon's Prime Day, but if you missed the shopping event, don't worry because the discount is still available. You can still take advantage of the $250 discount on the laptop's original price of $1,000, but because it's a holdover from the MacBook deals of Prime Day, we're pretty sure that it won't last long. If you want to get a MacBook for cheap, you're going to want to push through with this transaction before it gets taken down.

Why you should buy the Apple MacBook Air 2020
It has since been overshadowed by the M2-powered Apple MacBook Air 2022, but the Apple MacBook Air 2020 remains in our list of the best MacBooks as the lowest-price option if you want one of Apple's laptops. It's powered by Apple's M1 chip, which is so power-efficient that this model of the MacBook Air can last up to 18 hours on a single charge, and it goes completely fanless. This also makes the laptop completely silent even when it's handling heavy workloads, which you probably didn't think would be such a big deal until you experience it first hand.
