Our top pick

Amazon deal of the day: 2023 MacBook Pro (M3 chip, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD)
$1,399.99 at Amazon
$1,599.00 Save $199.01
with on-page coupon

The 2023 MacBook Pro, which packs Apple's M3 chip, is just 99 cents shy of its all-time low price at Amazon as of April 18. The M3 MacBook Pro features a familiar design you know and love with a whole lot of processing power under the hood. Apple claims the M3 chip is up to 15 percent faster than the previous M2 chip, but we actually found it to be even faster than that in our testing. Our reviewer was also highly impressed by its battery power and "dive" built-in speakers. The base model, which includes 8GB RAM and 512GB of storage, typically goes for $1,599, but if you tick the on-page coupon, it'll only run you $1,399.99 at checkout.

Google Nest Security Cam (wired)
$67.59 at Amazon
$99.99 Save $32.40

Want to keep tabs on your pets while you're at work? Or have an extra set of eyes inside your home while you're on vacation? The indoor version of the Google Nest Cam can be mounted to your wall or placed on a bookshelf and deliver a 24/7 live view of your home. It comes in a variety of colors to suit your style and can be set up in a matter of minutes. At $67.59, it's down to an all-time low price at Amazon. Save $32.40 as of April 18.

If you're looking for a powerful laptop that won't break the bank, the ASUS VivoBook 16 has really solid specs and is currently on sale for under $600. That's $200 off its usual price and matches its all-time low. This particular configuration packs an AMD Ryzen 9 processor, 16GB of RAM, and an entire terabyte of storage. It also has a lay-flat 180-degree hinge, a webcam shield, a sleek NanoEdge display, and an array of ports (USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C with power delivery, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A, USB 2.0 Type A, 3.5mm Combo Audio Jack, HDMI 1.4).

Google Pixel 7a (unlocked, 128GB)
$349.00 at Amazon
$499.00 Save $150.00

There's no reason you should be paying full price for a new phone — especially when deals like this exist. An unlocked Google Pixel 7a is on sale for just $349 at Amazon as of April 18. Already a budget-friendly version of the Pixel 7, this 30% discount brings the 7a to a new all-time low. "Announced during the 2023 Google I/O presentation, this is essentially a $100 cheaper Pixel 7 with a slightly smaller screen, but little else in the way of compromise," Mashable's Alex Perry noted in his review. It's worth noting that this deal is also available at Best Buy, if you prefer to shop there.
