Today’s best deals: Google devices, iPads, headphones, and more
Ars Technica

It's the last couple weeks of the year, and that means holiday deals on some of our favorite tech are still rolling. This week we're seeing Google's Black Friday sale back in effect, bringing the Pixel 7 and Pixel 6 series down to prices that match their all-time lows. The same is true for Google's Nest Hub smart displays and Nest Audio smart speakers, as well.

The Pixel 6a may represent one of the best deals you can get for any smartphone on the market, even at the typical $450 retail price. At $299 it's an even more tantalizing proposition, offering flagship-level speed and processing power and an impressive camera for less than half the cost of similarly specced phones. If having a screen with a 90 Hz refresh rate sounds enticing to you, the Pixel 7 is also on sale for $499, and the 7 Pro is discounted to $749 with its 120 Hz refresh rate.

Apple's latest iPad and iPad Air have also received discounts that match their record lows. A 64 GB, 10.9-inch iPad is currently going for $399 ($447), while the iPad Air is selling for $499 ($550). In our review, we dubbed the iPad Air the best iPad for most people, thanks to its blazing-fast M1 processor and Goldilocks-zone price point. Especially at this record-low $499 price, it's hard to beat the value of the latest iPad Air.

Elsewhere around the web, we have discounts on Samsung SD and microSD cards, GoPros, headphones by Beats, Sony, and Bose, as well as the original Peloton Bike, Microsoft Surfaces, a Tile Pro four-pack, and much more. Check the full curated list below.
