Lots of popular electronics went on sale this week as early Memorial Day deals started to pop up. Notably,the AirPods Pro remain at their lowest price ever on Amazon,so you can snag a pair for only $228. Apple’s 10.2-inch iPad is also on sale for $250 — an $80 drop from its normal price. Also,those in need of a new laptop can get a fairly powerful 2019 Dell XPS 13 model for less than $850. Check out the best deals from this week that you can still get right now.
AirPods Pro
AirPods Pro remain at their lowest price ever — $228 on Amazon. The newest wireless earbuds from Apple have hovered at $235 for a long time,but Amazon still has a coupon that brings the price down even more (you’ll see the final sale price at checkout). We gave them a score of 87 for their refined design that helps them stay in your ears better than regular AirPods,improved audio quality and IPX4 water resistance.Buy AirPods Pro at Amazon - $228
10.2-inch iPad

You can still snag the 10.2-inch iPad (WiFi only) for only $250 at Amazon and Best Buy. This is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen on Apple’s most affordable iPad,which normally costs $330. We gave the base iPad a score of 86 for its slightly larger display,good battery life and decent starting price (even when not on sale,it’s still a good value).
Also,the base iPad with WiFi and cellular connectivity is still on sale for $380 at Amazon. This is about $80 off its normal price of $460 and a good deal if you want an iPad that’s always connected.

Dell XPS 13 touchscreen laptop
Engadget
One of our favorite laptops is still on sale at Dell — you can get a 2019 XPS 13 laptop with a 10th-gen Core i5 processor,a 13.3-inch FHD touchscreen,8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage for $833. This isn’t the lowest price we’ve seen on the XPS 13 but it’s very close to it. Keep in mind that this isn’t the 2020 model of the laptop,which has smaller bezels and a new keyboard design. Nevertheless,we still recommend the 2019 XPS 13 (it earned a score of 93 from us),especially when it’s available at a price as low as this.

HBO Max pre-order

HBO Max’s official launch is right around the corner (May 27th) and you can still get it for a discounted monthly rate of $12. The only catch is that you need to sign up via the HBO Max website and not from any other distributor,which is easy enough. The normal monthly price is $15 so HBO is clearly trying to drum up as many subscribers as possible before launch with this promotion.

The 500GB model of the Samsung T5 portable SSD is on sale for $80 at Amazon and Best Buy.

It has one USB-C port but it comes with multiple cables so you can use it with USB-C and USB-A devices. While it’s not the newest version of Samsung’s portable SSD (the T7 was announced earlier this year),it’s still a good drive that you can easily take anywhere.Buy Samsung T5 at Amazon
