A number of Apple products got more expensive last month, so we’re happy to find deals wherever and whenever we can. If you’re searching for a high-end iPad, one of the more notable deals currently happening is on the 13-inch iPad Pro M5 with 512GB of storage. Normally $1,699, it’s $150 off at Amazon, costing $1,549.99. It’s $100 off at Best Buy. This is the most premium iPad that Apple sells, with impressive performance from its M5 processor, a gorgeous OLED screen, up to 60W of fast charging, and support for the Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard.

There’s also a deep discount on some configurations of the 11-inch iPad Air M3. This model sports 1TB of storage, an optional 5G cellular connection, and it’s marked down to $749, a $500 discount from the suggested retail price. While the M3 chip is on the older side, you get 1TB of storage for just $40 more than the base M4 version with 128GB. The discount is available in all four colors: blue, purple, space gray, and starlight. Read our Apple iPad Air M3 review.

Other deals to consider

  • Sony is selling refurbished Playstation 5 Slim consoles for $499, a $100 break from the usual price. They may have some minor cosmetic imperfections, but are tested and certified by Sony to perform just as well as a new console. These slightly older digital only models have the full 1TB of storage, as opposed to the newer 825GB models, and have a one year warranty in case there are any issues.
  • Normally $99.99, a four pack of the second-generation Apple AirTags are on sale for $89.99 at Amazon, matching their lowest price ever. The updated version of Apple’s popular Bluetooth tracker boosts the speaker volume, making it easier to find your stuff, and have more precise tracking. They’re still easy to setup, with one-touch pairing on iOS devices, and will run for over a year on a single replaceable battery.
  • Amazon has the Razer Viper V3 Pro wireless gaming mouse listed for $99.99, about $30 lower than its usual price. The symmetrical mouse features an 8K polling rate and 35K DPI sensor, specs that will let you customize it to your play style, and eight programmable buttons to put every action right where you need it. At just 54 grams, the Viper V3 Pro is impressively lightweight, yet it still manages to last 95 hours of battery life on a single charge. There are plenty of less expensive gaming mice on the market, but this one’s well-rounded.
