Amazon deal of the day: This M2 MacBook Air is a steal at $699

The weekend has finally arrived. Celebrate with another handpicked set of deals at Amazon — Apple and Bose edition. Two of our favorite brands have blessed us with tons of epic deals heading into the weekend, from a new best-ever price on the M2 MacBook Air to a major $200 price drop on the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar. Whatever Amazon is cooking up, we’ve got our plates ready.

Here are our picks for the best Amazon deals of the day on March 7. If none of these are your cup of tea, be sure to check out our picks from March 5 and March 6 as well. Many of those deals are still live, including a 50% price drop on the Anker Zolo power bank and a new all-time low price on the 10th generation iPad ($9 cheaper than yesterday).

Our top pick: Apple M2 MacBook Air

If you’re looking to upgrade your MacBook without spending a fortune, this deal on the M2 MacBook Air is hard to beat. Sure, it’s not the latest and greatest model (it’s from 2022), but it’s still a solid laptop that Mashable Tech Reporter Alex Perry gave the Mashable Choice Award badge of honor. He praised its zippy M2 processor, rock-solid battery life, slim profile, and more than satisfying keyboard design. Not only did it get a permanent price drop last year when the M3 made its debut, knocking its starting price down from $1,099 to $999, but Amazon also just knocked another $300 off as of March 7. That brings the price down 30% to a budget-friendly all-time low of $699.

Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar

We love the wallet-friendly Bose Smart Soundbar, but the Smart Ultra Soundbar takes things up a notch or two. And as of March 7, it’s 22% price drop makes it a more palatable $699 (reg. $899). Our pals at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) tested it out and said, “The Bose Smart Ultra is a powerful one-piece soundbar that delivers big sound with plenty of spatial audio detail, and ample audio streaming features.” It even earned their coveted Editors’ Choice award. If you’re seeking a one-piece home theater solution, it’s certainly a worthy option. Plus, it’s back down to its best price ever.

Apple Watch Series 10

The Apple Watch Series 10 sees a lot of discounts, but as of March 7, it has its biggest one to date. The 42mm version with GPS is on sale for just $299 at Amazon — that’s 25% in savings. Compared to previous iterations, the Series 10 boasts a thinner and lighter build, a larger display with a built-in speaker, faster charging (one of the biggest selling points for our reviewer), and a new array of health and fitness features like sleep apnea alerts, water temperature, and depth sensing. The upgrades aren’t massive, but it stills reigns supreme as Mashable’s favorite smartwatch fitness tracker in 2025.

Bose SoundLink Flex

The small and mighty Bose SoundLink Flex is back on sale for only $112.53 in sage green. That’s 24% in savings. The latest generation of the go-anywhere speaker got an upgrade this past fall to enhance its already great features. It still boasts the same rugged texture, waterproof and UV light-resistant build, excellent 12-hour battery life, and bold sound. It just added better controls and customizable EQ in the Bose app for a better listening experience. If you prefer a color other than sage, you’ll still get a deal; it’ll just cost you about $13 bucks more.

Apple AirPods Pro 2

Alert: the AirPods Pro 2 are back on sale for $169.99 (32% off). While that’s not quite the lowest price we’ve seen, we definitely recommend snagging a pair at this price. We’re huge fans of the AirPods Pro 2 due to their rich and well-balanced sound, best-in-class noise cancellation for earbuds, seamless integration into the Apple ecosystem, and decent battery life. They’re our favorite noise-cancelling earbuds for Apple users — especially when they’re this affordable.
