What’s so great about the Apple MacBook Air? Glad you asked! First of all, it's on sale for $100 off at Amazon. And second, it's got the new (and incredibly speedy) Apple Octa-core M1 processor, 8GB of memory, 256GB of on-board storage and the latest version of macOS Big Sur. That makes it an absolute powerhouse.

"Bought this laptop because I needed an upgrade from my heavy MacBook Pro. I needed something super light and thin [so I can] just bring it everywhere and slide it in my bag," shared a wowed Amazon shopper. "I am obsessed with how fast this MacBook Air is. The battery life is on point. I used it for movies and series at work and it lasted for three days. The processor is so good. I open so many tabs at once and it has not lagged on me."

The Apple iPad Air (64GB, Wi-Fi only), on sale for $570 — is the 'just right' model in the iPad family. It's speedier and more powerful than the entry-level model, thanks to its A14 Bionic chip (compared to the standard's A12 chip), and it's more compact and lightweight than the iPad Pro, coming in at just a pound, versus the Pro's heftier 1.41 pounds. It might not seem like a lot, but when you're schlepping it around for hours in end, you'll feel the difference.

"...It's a bit faster, a bit thinner, a bit lighter, and a bit shinier than all the tablets I've used before," shared a satisfied Amazon shopper. "But, taken altogether — and taken along with the second-generation Apple Pencil — it feels like an entirely new experience. I haven't been this struck by a new device in a while..."

At the top of the earbuds food chain are the Apple AirPods Pro. This model features noise-canceling capabilities, plus silicone ear tips for a more secure fit. Amazon has knocked $59 off the price, bringing the AirPods Pro down to $190, from $249.

These pro-level buds have earned a flawless rating from tons of Amazon reviewers. Said one happy shopper: "Apple hit a home run with these...With the AirPods Pro, Apple has answered my prayers, and they're even better than I could have imagined. The sound cancellation is LEGIT.... The ability to switch from noise canceling to transparency mode is awesome as well."

The deliciously wireless Apple Magic Keyboard is on sale for just $112 at Amazon. Shoppers love its epic battery life and the numbers pad on the keyboard's right side.

“Having the numeric keypad on this keyboard makes it a huge improvement,” raved a shopper. “What is more amazing is the battery life. I charged it 100 percent when I initially connected it to my MacBook. I have used it every workday for more than five weeks, even taking it on a trip with me because its so thin and light. It currently has 67 percent remaining on the battery. If this holds up, that means i will have to charge it about 4 times per year.”

Down from $150 to just $80, the Beats Powerbeats Wireless Earphones make life — and fitness — easier. With a brilliant 15 hours of battery life per charge, they’re always ready to go. And even if, by some chance, you do let your Powerbeats run out of juice, you're okay — a quick five-minute charge gives you enough juice for a full hour of playback. It’s called Fast Fuel, and it’s awesome.

Secure-fit ear hooks keep them in place no matter what — they won't fall out of your ears like some other wireless earbuds. Outdoorsy? No sweat — these earphones are water-resistant.

"I love these for outdoor running or exercise," raved a five-star Amazon reviewer. "I like the cable around the back to hang on my neck when not actively listening to anything. These are not noise-canceling but do limit some outside noise... these allow you to keep up with what’s going on around you (like a car behind you) and still have great sound.... The battery life is awesome. I only recharge maybe once a week, but use these almost every day."
