The AirPods Pro 3 deal you've been waiting for: As someone who's tested dozens of laptops this year already, I still find myself recommending the MacBook Air M5 more than any other. It's the most well-rounded laptop you can buy, sporting great performance, long battery life, and a razor-thin chassis. The price has gone up considerably over the past year, but that's true of many of the best laptops . Despite all of Apple's attempts to expand the iPad line, the most compelling reason to buy an iPad continues to be its original use case: casually leaning back on the couch with a book, game, or movie. It's the device you bring with you on vacation to keep yourself from working. It's the tablet every family with kids has.
