Today’s best deals: Apple MacBook Air, Sony and LG 4K TVs, Nintendo Switch, and more

Time for another mid-week Dealmaster. Our latest roundup of the best tech deals from around the web includes a nice discount on Apple’s latest M2-based MacBook Air in both the 256GB and 512GB versions. With $100 and $150 discounts, respectively, these are the lowest prices we’ve tracked on the new MacBook Airs.

In our review, we noted the MacBook Air’s excellent hardware, build quality, battery life, and “out-of-this-world performance” for its size and weight. Going with an M2-based Air doesn’t only mean better computing performance over the M1 MacBook Airs, but also an improved screen and a much nicer camera and audio system for video calls.

We also have a record low price on Sony’s A80K 55-inch 4K television with Google TV. This is a deal exclusive to Prime members that knocks off $200 from its usual price. The A80K is well-reviewed for its punchy, wide-ranging contrast ratio, HDR performance, wide viewing angles, and excellent reflection handling.

Elsewhere around the web, we’re seeing discounts on Google’s Nest Hub (my favorite bedside gadget), Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Studio, Sony’s WF-1000XM3 earbuds, and a $100 DoorDash gift card deal that rewards you with a $20 Best Buy gift card with purchase, a few Hynix SSDs, and much more. You can check out our full curated list of deals below.
