It\u2019s been a good week for Apple fans. Not only did Apple announce its forthcoming \u201cLet Loose\u201d event<\/a>, but the entire M3-powered\u00a013-inch MacBook Air<\/strong><\/a> lineup received a notable discount<\/a>. And now, the\u00a016-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro chip <\/strong>has plunged to an all-time low. If you require a laptop capable of handling more intense workloads than the Air, authorized Apple retailer Expercom is selling the last-gen MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, a 12\u2011core CPU, and a 19\u2011core GPU for $1,998.99 ($500 off) via Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Like the new M3-powered MacBook Pros<\/a>, Apple\u2019s last-gen MacBooks can tackle tasks like video editing and photo processing while lasting well over a full workday, which makes them better suited for creative professionals than Apple\u2019s entry-level offerings. They also sport the same gorgeous Mini LED display found on the newer models \u2014 which is great for multitasking and streaming \u2014 along with a solid port selection that includes three USB-C \/ Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI-out, and an SD card slot. Granted, the new M3 MacBook Pros are faster and offer more RAM, but the M2 Pro models are still a great combo of speed and efficiency, especially at this price.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you\u2019re looking to add voice controls and some basic scheduling to appliances and other traditional gadgets, Eve\u2019s Energy Smart Plug & Power Meter<\/strong> is receiving a rare discount at Amazon<\/a>. Right now, you can pick up the plug for $34.19 (about $5 off) when you clip the on-page coupon, which is about $5 shy of the all-time low we briefly saw in January.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n As a Matter-over-Thread device, Eve\u2019s handy smart plug works with a wide range of smart home platforms, including Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and even Apple Home. It offers the most detailed energy monitoring of all the plugs we\u2019ve tested<\/a>, letting you drill into the estimated cost of using your device by the week, day, and even hour. The Eve companion app also provides an array of more granular logs and charts so you can easily track your total consumption and cost, which can go a long way in helping you save money on your energy bills over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
