The best deals we found this week: $60 off AirPods Pro and more
Plus last-minute deals you can snag before Mother's Day.
There was no shortage of gadget deals across the internet this week. Plenty of Apple products hit near record-low prices, including the AirPods Pro, the 2020 iPad Pros and the MacBook Pro M1 with extra storage. Amazon's latest device sale knocks the price of the Echo Show 5 down to $50 and the Kindle Paperwhite down to $95. Plus, there are still some Mother's Day sales you can take advantage of, like Fitbit's which discounts almost all of its wearables. Here are the best tech deals we found this week that you can still get today.
AirPods Pro
Woot has the AirPods Pro for $190 right now, or $60 off their normal price. While not as low as we saw them during Black Friday, it remains one of the best prices we've seen. We gave the AirPods Pro a score of 87 for their solid ANC, good audio quality and hands-free Siri capabilities. If you're not comfortable with Woot's return policy, you can grab the AirPods Pro for $197 at Amazon.

Key among them are 6-quart Star Wars Instant Pots at Williams Sonoma, a trio of which are down to $60 each. GameStop's Star Wars Day sale is also still ongoing and it knocks up to 50 percent off Star Wars video games and up to 15 percent off collectables.

iPad Pros
A few 2020 iPad Pros remain on sale at Amazon, namely the 512GB 11-inch version that has been discounted to $949. This sale comes on the heels of the 2021 iPad Pros officially going on sale last week — and you can get a few of those devices for less, too. Walmart has the 128GB 11-inch model for $749 or the 256GB version for $849, or $50 off their normal prices. While the 11-inch iPad Pro doesn't have the new Liquid Retina XDR display that the 12.9-inch iPad Pro has, it does have Apple's new M1 chipset, a new 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, a USB-C Thunderbolt port and 5G support.

Amazon Echo Show 5
Amazon's running a large device sale that knocks the price of the Echo Show 5, among other things, down to $50.

Also included in this sale is the Echo Show 8, which is down to $75, and the new Echo Show 10, which dropped to $200. Other devices like Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite and the Fire TV Stick 4K have also been discounted.

This is a good option if you want to upgrade the sound quality on an older TV without spending a ton of money, and could use a streaming tech upgrade, too. We gave the Streambar a score of 86 for its compact design, built-in 4K streaming technology and solid audio quality.

Fitbit Mother's Day sale
A number of Fitbit devices remain on sale ahead of Mother's Day. The Fitbit Sense is down to an all-time low of $250 while the Versa 3 is on sale for $180 and the Inspire 2 is down to $70.
