Our top pick

The M2 iPad Air saw its first price drop before it even made its official debut back in May. It’s seen multiple discounts since, including on Prime Day, but none have been as big as today’s $100 discount. As of Oct. 28, you can grab the 11-inch M2 iPad Air with 128GB of storage and WiFi connectivity for just $499 instead of $599. It may not be a massive design change from the previous generation, but it’s definitely a welcome upgrade. As Mashable’s Kim Gedeon noted in her review, “The M2 chip brings sweet energy efficiency and a performance uptick.”

Not only did Mashable reviewer Alex Perry give the Beats Studio Pro 4.5 out of 5 stars, but he also awarded them a Mashable Choice badge of honor. Between their rich, immersive sound, solid active noise cancellation, and tremendous battery life, “It’s hard to find a pair of over-ear headphones with a better all-around experience than Beats Studio Pro,” he writes. Typically these headphones would run you $349.99, but you can pick them up at Amazon as of Oct. 28 for only $169.99. That’s over half off and just a few cents shy of their lowest price ever.

Essentially the brain to your smart home, the Echo Hub offers a full-featured control panel with instant access to all of your smart gadgets — lights, switches, cameras, thermostat, doorbell, etc. Rather than keeping the control center locked inside of someone’s smartphone, anyone can play music, stream videos, ask Alexa questions, dim the lights, see who’s at the door, or adjust the temperature all from one central location. With a limited-time on-page coupon, you can snag it for only $124.99 instead of $179.99. That’s 31% in savings and matches its record-low price from Prime Day.

Designed for your 6- to 12-year-old, the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro came out last year and was marketed as Amazon’s “best kids tablet yet.” It features a 10.1-inch 1080p full HD display, a lightweight design, 3GB of RAM, up to 13 hours of battery life, and is 25% faster than the previous generation. Plus, of course, it includes a durable case (with a built-in kickstand) that can stand up to all of your little one’s adventures (and messes). As of Oct. 28, it’s back down to just $109.99 from $189.99. That’s a savings of 42% and matches its all-time low from October’s Prime Day.
