In addition to these tablet deals, Best Buy has steep discounts on Apple's M3 MacBook Pro and M2 MacBook Air, including a new all-time low price on the entry-level M3 512GB 14-inch MacBook Pro at $1,199.00 for My Best Buy Plus/Total members, down from $1,599.00.

Across the 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro lineup you'll find $400 off a few models on Best Buy, and all of these beat the previous record lows by $100. You'll need to have a My Best Buy Plus or Total membership to see these low prices, otherwise Best Buy is offering solid second-best prices to all customers.
In terms of MacBooks, the other notable discounts during the Best Buy weekend sale can be found on the M2 MacBook Air. Best Buy has both the 256GB and 512GB models on sale, matching the record low prices on each model. These do not require a My Best Buy Plus or Total membership.

iOS 27 will reportedly have two major elements: quality improvements and new AI features.
In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said that iOS 27 will be similar to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, in the sense that Apple is focused on improving "quality and underlying performance" over adding new features.
Gurman said there is one exception to this rule, though, as he expects...

I was at Best Buy yesterday and saved a couple more bucks off the 13" base model M2 MBA in the pretty dark blue. I replaced my M4 iPad Pro with this. I really TRIED to use the iPad as my "laptop" but it's just a miserable experience. I've spent a day with this M2 MBA and it's a slice of heaven. It's far too much computer for the $770 I paid. (open box) Sits on my desk next to WFH workstation and does all I need exactly as I need.
Even as very casual users my girlfriend and I both could not make this work, I think the idea that the iPad is currently a viable laptop replacement has to stop being perpetuated, it’s pretty foolish. Even those of us who *think* we only surf the web and listen to Spotify are going to run into countless unforeseen scenarios in which an iPad is just too cumbersome and awkward an experience for prolonged laptop replacement.
If 6GB RAM is not enough to run Apple Intelligence on an iPhone.... how the hell is 8GB RAM on a Mac enough to run it.
I can understand how light users could survive on an 8GB laptop in the past... but just don't expect to do much Apple Intelligence on that. I can't imagine running a local LLM in such a constrained system.
