You\u2019d think most gamers would have indulged enough over the long winter season that they wouldn\u2019t want to spend the first moments of spring doing the same, but rainy days are still a thing, yeah? And the grind never truly stops for many of us. That\u2019s why I can appreciate the Steam spring sale<\/strong><\/a>, happening now through March 21st. It happens around this time every year and offers up to 90 percent off thousands of titles. You can find deals on game-of-the-year-worthy titles like Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/strong><\/em> for $53.99<\/a> ($6 off), for example, while Diablo IV<\/strong><\/em> is 50 percent off<\/a> no matter which version you buy, whether it\u2019s the base game going for $34.99 or the Ultimate Edition<\/em> for $49.99.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It\u2019s also a great chance to check out older titles you may have passed on, such as Cyberpunk 2077<\/em><\/a> (50 percent off, down to $29.99) or Far Cry 6<\/em><\/a> for $14.99 ($45 off). There are tons of cult classics, indie hits, and other low-key titles on sale starting at just $1, too, like the undying Left 4 Dead 2<\/em><\/a>. We\u2019re not seeing any discounts on the Steam Deck<\/a> or any of the VR headsets in Steam\u2019s hardware store<\/a>, unfortunately, but be sure to explore more games from the sale if you\u2019re looking for something new to play.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Considering Apple has officially signaled the M1 MacBook Air\u2019s death knell<\/a>, Walmart\u2019s latest sale on the outgoing model feels like a last call. The retailer is offloading the 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD MacBook Air with M1<\/strong> for $699<\/a>, which is $300 off compared to its original price and $50 cheaper than the $749 it\u2019s often gone for toward the end of its retail run. It\u2019s a new all-time low price, which we predicted would happen, but perhaps not this soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Although it\u2019s discontinued, the M1 Air is still getting support and can still serve as a perfectly capable laptop for someone dipping their toes into the MacBook waters for the first time, or perhaps to replace an aging Intel-based model. It\u2019s up to most basic school, work, and browsing tasks for those with lighter needs who would benefit from the long battery life (up to 18 hours) and power efficiency afforded by the Apple-made chipset. I\u2019ve even found this memory-starved model capable of lightweight 4K video editing, photo editing, and other creative tasks. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
