The weekend’s best deals: Google Pixel 7, Apple MacBooks, 4K TVs, and more — Ars Technica

Another weekend, another roundup of the best tech deals from the week. Today’s Dealmaster features generous gift card offers on the best android phones available, the newly-released Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. The Pixel 7 Pro is available on Amazon at its regular retail price of $899, but throws in a sizable $200 Amazon gift card with your new phone. Likewise, the Pixel 7 is on offer at $599 with an additional $100 Amazon gift card.

Our review of the new Pixels, published this week, was another overwhelmingly positive one. The Pixel’s top-tier camera, snappy, bloat-free software, and sleek, functional design are standout features we’ve come to expect of Google year after year. We don’t feel that the 7 and 7 Pro are substantially better than the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro (also on sale for $399 and $649, respectively). So, if you don’t mind losing the macro camera, then the previous-generation Pixels are still an excellent buy, especially with their respective discounts.

There’s also a slew of Google Nest smart speakers and smart displays on sale from Wellbots, all matching the all-time lows for each device. Elsewhere around the web, we have discounts on the previous generation Apple TV 4K, Macbook Pros and Airs from different generations, a handful of 4K OLED TVs from Samsung, LG, and Sony, and much more. Check out the full curated list of the week’s best deals below.
