MacBook Air (M5, 2026)
Our favorite laptop for most people, the MacBook Air is deceptively powerful with the update to the M5 chip. (Did you know the GPU in the M5 Air is as powerful as the M3 Pro MacBook Pro?) The M5 makes everything significantly faster, whether you’re rendering video or playing games. The fan-less chassis makes it one of the thinnest laptops you can buy, and the battery lasts a full workday. This deal has been coming and going for a few weeks, but it’s close to the lowest price we’ve ever seen.
This deal makes an already cheap monitor even less. The MSI Pro E14 is our favorite cheap monitor. It might lack some of the adjustment possibilities of more expensive models, but it offers what you really need, namely, great image quality. It’ll go up to 359 nits at its brightest, and the color coverage is surprisingly good, both in terms of saturation and accuracy. You even get a 144-Hz refresh rate, which is good enough to game.

Review: Apple AirPods Pro 3
Apple’s AirPods Pro are the best earbuds for Apple users. In fact, they’re the best-selling headphones on the planet. The third-generation AirPods Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) offer industry-leading noise canceling and great call quality, thanks to better design and improved ear tips with a bit of foam added. Then there’s the real-time translation, heart rate monitoring, and easy pairing with Apple devices to round out the features. Did we mention they’re comfortable? They are, and they get about eight hours of battery life, which makes them perfect for an entire workday.
