In a time when everything is getting more expensive, a good deal means a whole lot more. Amazon is always flooded with discounted tech, but it takes a keen eye to spot whether something is a a deal worth grabbing. Fortunately, we’ve done the work for you and handpicked a few gadgets we think are worth your time.
Here are a few of our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the week.
Our top pick: MacBook Air, 13-inch
Looking to upgrade your MacBook? There’s no time like the present, as the brand-new 13-inch MacBook Air with an M4 chip is down to its lowest price to date — just $899. That’s a $100 discount on a laptop that’s been out less than two months. Our reviewer Stan Schroeder called it the “best-buy Apple laptop, period,” specifically shouting out its “impressively powerful” and silent performance and improved FaceTime camera. It’s no surprise it earned a Mashable Choice Award and a glowing 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Kindle Colorsoft
The first Kindle of its kind after nearly two decades, the Colorsoft offers a 7-inch glare-free display that supports a full spectrum of color. On top of that, it has auto-adjusting light, 32GB of storage, a waterproof build, wireless charging, no lockscreen ads, and eight weeks of battery power. On sale once again for $224.99, this gorgeous e-reader is sitting at its lowest price to date. That’s 20% in savings.
Fitbit Versa 4
Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) reviewed the Fitbit Versa 4 and called it “an excellent fitness-focused smartwatch with welcome design improvements over the last generation.” And considering we already loved the Versa 3, that’s saying something. It features an even more massive selection of built-in fitness features, notable design and usability upgrades, and a responsive touch screen. Usually, it goes for $199.95, but as of April 25, you can grab it on sale for $149.95 and save 25%.
Shark SmoothStyle
While we love the Revlon One-Step, it can certainly fry your hair if you aren’t careful. The Shark SmoothStyle is designed to do basically the same thing as the One-Step, but with added protection. It serves as a round hot air brush that takes your hair from wet to styled using three preset air temperatures to dry and style. Once dry, you can use it like a thermal brush, with one preset heated smoothing comb setting. The comb itself has ceramic-coated plates to prevent damage to your locks, though we still suggest not skipping the heat protectant. It’s usually $100, but as of April 25, you can save 31% and grab it for just $69 at Amazon.
