The weekend has arrived, and so to have the best Apple discounts. Leading the way is an Apple Weekend sale at Amazon with $200 off the M1 Pro MacBook Pro. That’s alongside markdowns on the 24-inch M1 iMac and the Twelve South HoverBar sitting at $60. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

Closing out the work week, a new limited-time Apple shopping event has gone live at Amazon and Best Buy. Discounting everything from the latest Macs to official Apple Watch bands and more, there are some rare savings to be had across the board. Our top pick has dropped Apple’s 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro 512GB down to $1,799 at Amazon, delivering $200 in savings from the $1,999 going rate you’d typically pay. This is delivering the second-best price to date and lowest in months since it was on sale in March. You can also save on the elevated 1TB model, which now sits at $2,299 following the $200 discount.

As a highlight from this week’s Apple shopping event, the new 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro arrives with with a redesigned casing to match its refreshed internals. For starters, the Liquid Retina XDR 120Hz Display pairs with all of the power from the new M1 Pro chip, alongside the return of MagSafe charging. Not to mention, there’s also up to 17-hour battery life and improved I/O like three Thunderbolt ports, HDMI, and an SD card slot. There’s also an upgraded 16-core GPU to complement the upwards of 1TB of storage. See why it was our Apple product of the year over at 9to5Mac.

Today only, Amazon offers Apple’s latest 24-inch M1 iMac starting from $1,235 for the 7-Core 256GB model. Down from $1,299, today’s offer is the second-best discount of the year, lowest in over a month, and a $64 discount. Plus, higher-end models are as much as $150 off right now, as well.

Bringing Apple’s M1 chip to a screen-based desktop design, the new iMac sports a 24-inch 4K Retina Display backed by True Tone support. On top of the integrated 1080p FaceTime camera, there’s also Spatial Audio-enabled speakers, Wi-Fi 6, and Thunderbolt connectivity. Plus, those who opt for the 8-core model will be able to take advantage of Ethernet in the power brick on top of the improved performance.

Twelve South is now currently offering the HoverBar Duo iPad Stand for $60. Marking a new 2022 low, you’d more regularly pay $80 with today’s offer beating our previous mention by $8 and stacking up to $20 in savings. Ready to pair with everything from Apple’s flagship 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro to the compact iPad mini 6, Twelve South HoverBar Duo arrives as quite the versatile tablet accessory.

As we’ve come to expect from Twelve South, there’s a premium build that in this case pairs with three points of articulation to help adjust the viewing angle of your device. And living up to its name, HoverBar Duo also has a 2-in-1 design that props up an iPad on a desk or clamp underneath a cabinet. Get a closer look in our launch coverage.

Amazon now offers the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin AirPlay 2 Speaker for $699 in two styles. Normally fetching $799, this is now marking one of the first overall discounts since being refreshed earlier in the year at $100 off while matching the all-time low. As you might know from our hands-on review, the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin arrives as an updated version of one of the most iconic speakers on the market.

Still delivering the same signature design as a decade and a half ago, the refreshed model now packs modern comforts like AirPlay 2 and Wi-Fi connectivity to complement the 240W internal sound system. Though as good as the Zeppelin sounds, it really is all about the striking looks that deliver a unique form-factor into your listening space. Our in-depth look at the experience also has some other info on what to expect from the premium experience if you’re still not sold.

Amazon is now offering the Samsung’s latest T7 Shield Portable Solid-State Drive in blue for $229. This one launched back in April at $290 and soon after dropped to $240 before hitting the lowest price we have tracked above. You’ll also find the beige model marked down to $234 and the black variant still at $240. This USB 3.2 Gen 2-compatible SSD features PCIe NVMe internals that can reach speeds up to 1,050MB/s.

The rubberized shell not only delivers 9.8 feet of drop protection but it also houses Samsung’s “Dynamic Thermal Guard” to maintain steady performance in extreme temperatures and during longer transfers. Dive into into our Tested with 9to5Toys piece for a complete breakdown of the user experience.
