5 days ago | nbcnews.com | Harry Rabinowitz

The original Beats Powerbeats Pro launched in 2019. Despite their age, I see them frequently in the ears of New York City commuters. Its successor, the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2, launched earlier this year and after testing them for weeks, I came away impressed with the fit, sound quality and features. Today they are on sale for the first time — you can grab them for less than $200 — the earbuds’ lowest price ever.

I was shocked when Apple launched its new 2025 MacBook Air (M4) for a lower price than its previous version (the M3). It made the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air (M4) one of the best laptops you can buy for under $1,000, full stop. And with looming uncertainty around future electronics pricing due to tariffs, today’s deal might be the best time to buy this already-worthwhile laptop since it’s currently $150 off, bringing the laptop to its lowest price to date.

Aura vs Skylight: What’s the best digital photo frame for your family? We tested both to find out

Everyone I know loves taking photos with their smartphone but hates scrolling through their camera app to look at any of them. A lot of people I know would rather scroll through their group chat than their camera app — at least in the group chat its photos you decided to share instead of good photos mixed with bad photos mixed with pictures of receipts and random screenshots. I think digital photo frames are for everyone, not just your grandparents.

I test headphones for a living — the Sonos Ace are the ones I use when I’m off the clock
