Today’s Dealmaster includes a smaller but noteworthy deal on the latest iPad Air, dropping to $ 559 from its recommended price of $ 599. Although not a huge price drop, it is the biggest discount we got from a reputable retailer , and we consider Air itself the best iPad for those who can afford it. Elsewhere, we have a good $ 10 discount on a two-pack of Eufy Indoor Cam 2K packs, which we recently recommended in our 2020 holiday gift guide for offering crisp 2K resolution video, support for Apple HomeKit and a variety of low-cost storage options. Other notables in today’s round include a good discount on the SteelSeries Arctis 9X, an Xbox compatible wireless gaming headset that we like; a variety of video game businesses; and some solid price drops on Apple Watch devices. You can check out our full list below.
