MacBook Pro M5: Professional Power
Current price: $1,799
Original price: $1,899
The MacBook Pro with the base M5 chip is a fantastic option if you’d rather spend a little less.

Apple AirPods 4: Balanced Audio Experience
Current price: $99
Original price: $129
If you don’t like the suction of the ear tips on the AirPods Pro series, you might want to opt for the AirPods 4 instead. They have the same chip but less immersive, noise-canceling sound.
