Ladies and gentlemen, once again, it is the weekend and it is now featuring an extra hour of sunshine, whether you like it or not. Amazon is currently selling the 11-inch iPad Pro for $749. The regular asking price of the 2021 tablet is $799, which is the same as the regular price of the iPad Air with 256GB of storage.

The iPad Air may be the new darling of Apple, but the iPad Pro still has some extra features worth considering, since they are the same price today. The Air has a 120Hz refresh rate screen for smooth scrolling and gaming, Face ID for easier unlocking, and a four-speaker audio setup for bigger sound when it comes to time to binge. The new Air and Pro models have the same M1 processor.

Which one is the best? It's a topic that was debated on the most recent episode of The Vergecast, and while you probably can't go wrong with either tablet, it's nice to save money in the process. Read our review of the iPad Pro.

From gaming to the smart home, Nest Audio offers an excellent value. The smart speaker's five color options make it easy to fit into most home decor settings. The speaker of its size and price, which is usually $99.99 a pop, is provided by the Nest Audio.

The price is almost as good as it gets right now because of the two-pack of speakers that is being sold by Google. The price was $64.50 each. If you want to outfit two rooms in your home with a smart speaker, or set up a pair to work side-by-side in stereo arrangement, this puts the Nest Audio very close to its all-time low price of $59.99.
