Today's best tech deals: M1 MacBook Air, PS5 controllers, and more - Ars Technica

Ars Technica

Today's Dealmaster includes a solid deal on Apple's latest MacBook Air, as the entry-level model is currently down to $899 at various retailers. That's $100 off its typical going rate and tied for the lowest price we've tracked. While this model only comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage, making it better suited for more casual usage, it's also equipped with Apple's new M1 silicon, which our review found to provide supremely impressive value in terms of both speed and battery life. That's on top of the typically sturdy hardware we've come to expect from non-butterfly-keyboard MacBooks.

Elsewhere, our deals roundup has a rare $10 discount on Sony's DualSense wireless controller for the PlayStation 5, good prices on wireless noise-canceling headphones and USB-C chargers we like, and much more. You can peruse the full selection below.
