Cyber Monday may be over, but the last-minute Cyber Monday deals live on … like this offer on the AirPods 2, which sees them down from $159 to $129 at Staples. If you’ve been thinking about downsizing the cables and wires in your life in favor of the Bluetooth wireless lifestyle, now’s the time to pull the trigger. There’s no guarantee that this deal will last through the end of the day.

The 2nd-gen AirPods are the newest iteration of Apple’s standard Bluetooth earbuds. They fully integrate with an iPad, iPhone, or Apple Watch, replacing all the typical menus with a simple “Hey Siri.” They’re a must-have if you’re an Apple addict, or if you just want to be confident that you’re buying a great set of earbuds, then never think about them again. Apple even simplified the charging process. This deal includes a charging case. Just pop your AirPods into the case for 15 minutes and you’ve got another three hours of battery life available — wherever you are. All together that charging case will give you more than 24 hours of listening time, more than enough to get you through the day.

This version of the earbuds gives you some ambient noise-canceling, but not the active canceling you’d get from the AirPods Pro. It’s worth noting that those are on sale today as well, along with a ton of other Cyber Monday Apple deals. The AirPods 2 are still a magnificent earbud (with a slimmer price tag than the Pros). Great sound quality, long battery life, sleek design — they’re a great option for runners, constant phone-callers, and dedicated podcast listeners.

It’s time to take advantage of last-minute Cyber Monday AirPod deals — before the retailers realize how much money they’re giving away. AirPods at $129 is a steal that could only happen this time of year. If you’ve been considering upgrading, it’s time to go for it.

This year's Cyber Monday deals have dropped. For Apple fans who want to take advantage of the shopping event to buy a MacBook, there's an offer from Best Buy that you shouldn't miss. The 256GB model of the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air M3 is on sale with a $200 discount that slashes its price from $1,099 to $899, but probably not for long, as Cyber Monday MacBook deals will be gone soon. You're going to have to be quick to add it to your cart, though, because this 18% discount won't last long.

Why you should buy the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air M3
Our team is a big fan of the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air M3. It currently holds the title as the very best MacBook you can buy in our rankings of the best MacBooks, and it all starts with the performance of Apple's M3 chip. Combined with an eight-core CPU, an eight-core GPU, and 16GB of RAM, the Apple MacBook Air M3 will barely break a sweat when handling your daily activities -- even when you're multitasking between several apps.

A 40-inch TCL TV for $99? Cyber Monday deal is live now
2024 TCL S3 HDTV.

It's time. The crazy Cyber Monday TV deals have dropped and we found one that's wild. A real bargain on the 40-inch TCL TV that's over 50% off right now. With a $130 discount, that drops its price from $230 all the way down to $100. You probably didn't think it was possible to get a decent-sized TV for that price, but Cyber Monday is proving us all wrong. You're going to have to hurry with your purchase, though, because we've got a feeling that this deal will be gone really soon.

 
Why you should buy this 40-inch TCL TV
TCL is one of the best TV brands because of the value that its products provide, and that's on full display with a 40-inch TCL S3 Full HD TV. It's not going to challenge the performance and features of the best TVs in the market, but one important thing that it shares with them is the fact that it's a smart TV. Through Amazon's Fire TV platform, you'll be able to access all of the popular streaming services, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, and you'll also be able to initiate voice commands through either Amazon's Alexa or Google Assistant.
