Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

The best gaming deals in Amazons Big Spring Sale: Shop Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox

13 hours 53 min ago
A quick look at the best Amazon Spring Sale gaming deals: Best Console Deal ASUS ROG Xbox Ally $539.99 (save $60) Get Deal Best Video Game Deal Silent Hill f (PS5) $39.99 (save $30) Get Deal Best Gaming Mouse Deal Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse $26.99 (save $23) Get Deal

We're nearly at the end of Amazon’s weeklong Big Spring Sale, and in the past few days, we've seen some of the best gaming deals of the year so far. And that's whether your console of choice is the PS5, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch. Whether you’re shopping for a new handheld console, a discounted game, or an upgrade for your setup, Amazon (and Woot!) is showing out with impressive price cuts.

Alongside our roundups of Lego deals, TV deals, and Pokémon deals, here are the best gaming offers you can find on-site right now.

Note: Deals that are no longer available will be noted with a strikethrough.

Best gaming console deal Opens in a new window Credit: ASUS ASUS ROG Xbox Ally $539.99 at Amazon
$599.99 Save $60   Get Deal Why we like it

Handheld gaming PCs are still far from cheap, but Amazon has already shaved something off one of the newer Xbox-branded options. The ASUS ROG Xbox Ally is down to $539.99 from $599.99, which knocks $60 off the list price, and beats the price we saw heading into the sale by $10.

This is a new record-low price for the ROG Xbox Ally (confirmed by price tracker camelcamelcamel), making it an especially great deal if you're in the market for a portable system that blends Xbox branding with the flexibility of a Windows handheld. You're getting a 7-inch 1080p 120Hz touchscreen, AMD Ryzen Z2 A processor, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and a three-month Xbox Game Pass Premium subscription bundled in.

This handheld model supports Xbox Game Pass, but you can also run games on Steam, Epic Games, and other Windows titles. That gives it a lot more versatility than a locked-down console-style device.

Best video game deal Opens in a new window Credit: Konami 'Silent Hill f' for PS5 $39.99 at Woot

Sadly, our former top pick video game deal, Mario Kart World at its lowest price ever, sold out. That said, a video game deal for gamers on the opposite end of the spectrum is still available — Silent Hill f. The latest in Konami's Silent Hill franchise was released last fall, and to plenty of critical acclaim.

The reviewer at our sister site, PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis), gave the horror survival game a 5/5 rating and the site's Editors' Choice Award. In his review, he wrote, "Silent Hill f is one of the best horror games I've played in years, and one of the best games of the year." If you've yet to pick it up, grabbing it for half off isn't a bad deal at all.

Note: A selection of these deals is from Woot's video game sale, which is also on through March 31 (or until supplies last). Woot! is owned by Amazon.

As of March 30, get the Anker Nano 45W Smart Display Charger for $27.99, down from its usual price of $39.99. That's $12 off and a discount of 30%. It's also the lowest price we've seen.

SEE ALSO: Live updates on Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026: Record-low prices on Apple MacBooks, DJI drones, and Kindles

This charger supports series 15, 16, and 17 iPhones and select iPad models. It offers 45W of fast charging while adjusting its output based on your phone's battery level remaining.

It has a special display that you can tap to switch between different charging modes, and you can rotate it to better suit your viewing angle. Even with all that, it's in a tiny form factor, with dual foldable prongs that you can keep out of the way for storage. It's 47 percent smaller and 36 percent lighter than Anker's 30W charger to boot.

Grab yours while it's still available, because everyone needs a reliable way to get their devices back up to speed.

Everything you need to know about the malware stealing data from Mac users

14 hours 34 min ago

Mac users have a new malware threat to be on the watch out for.

According to a new report by Malwarebytes, Infiniti Stealer is a new malware attack targeting Mac users that utilizes social engineering tactics and, once the payload is delivered to the device, is very difficult to detect.

Infiniti Stealer

The hacker's campaign, according to the report, begins with a social engineering technique known as ClickFix. ClickFix is a tactic that tricks the target themself into executing malicious code on their computer. 

The targeted user is presented with a website, often through a phishing email or a pop-up on a compromised page, with an urgent update warning that claims to require the user to complete a Cloudflare human verification captcha.

The target is presented with a traditional "I am not a robot" box to check. However, the target is also asked to complete a "manual step." The page instructs the user to go to Spotlight on their Mac and search for the Terminal app. They are then instructed to paste a provided code into Terminal and hit return.

This code delivers Infiniti Stealer to the target's Mac.

"Because the user runs the command directly, many traditional defenses are bypassed," Malwarebytes says in its report. "There’s no exploit, no malicious attachment, and no drive‑by download."

According to Malwaybytes, the malware that's delivered to the victim's Mac is written in Python but compiled with Nuitka, which creates a native macOS binary. This makes Infiniti Stealer much more difficult to analyze and detect than the more typical type of malware.

"To our knowledge, this is the first documented macOS campaign combining ClickFix delivery with a Nuitka-compiled Python stealer," Malwarebytes says.

Once Infiniti Stealer is installed on a device, it will attempt to steal data from the victim's Mac and upload that information to the attacker's own server. Passwords, screenshots, browser data like cookies, and other sensitive information can be stolen from victims in these types of malware attacks.

Be aware of malware threats

Users should always be careful when following instructions from a website that they are unfamiliar with. Even then, users should be careful they are on a legitimate website of a company they do recognize and not a phishing website run by a bad actor.

Users should be aware that there is no form of captcha or verification that requires code to be entered in the Terminal app.

Furthermore, I typically recommend that anyone who isn't somewhat familiar with code to avoid any process that requires entering code in their Mac's Terminal.

If a user believes they may have been infected with malware, Malwarebytes recommends that they stop using the affected computer. They should change their account passwords on a completely separate device and, if possible, revoke access from the infected computer.

Infiniti Stealer appears to follow a new trend of bad actors targeting Apple devices due to the incorrect perception that they are immune from viruses and other types of attacks. DarkSword, for example, is another new threat targeting iPhones and other iOS devices with a malware attack that doesn't even require a user to download any sort of malicious file.

55 beauty deals to grab before Amazons Spring Sale is over

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 23:35
Best beauty deals live for Amazon's Big Spring Sale Best hair care deal Shark FlexStyle $299.99 (save $100) Get Deal Best skincare deal Paula's Choice Resist Sunscreen (SPF 50) $31.20 (save $7.80) Get Deal

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is almost over, but the mega-retailer still has plenty of beauty deals live to grab before the sale's end.

Deals on the Shark FlexStyle, T3 tools, and one of the best Dyson Supersonic dupes — the Laifen Swift — are just a sampling of what's available before deals wrap up on March 31 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

Hair tools aren't the only feature of this sale: Amazon has a ton of markdowns on K-beauty favorites like Medicube, Anua, and Dr. Althea. You'll also want to double-check what's available before you restock at Sephora: Sunday Riley, Ouai, Pureology, Paula's Choice, and Topicals are just some of the brands offering discounts on their most beloved products.

As Mashable's beauty expert, I combed the available markdowns to choose 50+ of the best deals still live — but I'll be updating this post through the end of the sale as availability changes.

As a note: Deals that are struck through are no longer available at the time of writing.

Best multistyler deal Shark FlexStyle $299.99 at Amazon
$399.99 Save $100   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

It's not that I'm a Dyson Airwrap hater; it's just that I know you can get essentially the same experience for less than half the price with the Shark FlexStyle. Though options for multi-stylers and Airwrap alternatives have expanded over the past few years, Shark remains one of the best, offering a great selection of attachments, versatility (especially with the twistable base), and innovation. This Black Cherry model is still $50 away from its record-low pricing of $249.99, but it doesn't go on sale often, making this still a great price to nab it at.

Hair tech dealsBest skincare deal Opens in a new window Credit: Paula's Choice Paula's Choice Resist Sunscreen (SPF 50) $31.20 at Amazon
$39 Save $7.80   Get Deal Why we like it

Sunscreen is a non-negotiable, whether or not you're into skincare. A daily (if not more) application habit is easier to build up with a formula that a) offers great protection and b) is lightweight and comfortable. This Paula's Choice pick is suited toward normal to oily skin, with less of a dewy finish than other options on the market. Still, it provides plenty of moisture, so you won't have to balance sun protection and feeling like a husk at the end of the day.

Make your life easier and snag a self-emptying robot vacuum deal before Amazons Big Spring Sale ends

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 23:25
A quick look at the best deals on self-emptying robot vacuums at Amazon Best budget robot vacuum deal Roborock Q10 S5+ $279.99 at Amazon (save $250) Get Deal Best roller mop robot vacuum deal Eufy C28 $499.99 at Amazon (save $250) Get Deal Best premium robot vacuum deal Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete $1,359.90 at Amazon (save $340.90) Get Deal

The question isn't whether it's worthwhile to get a self-emptying robot vacuum. It's simply which self-emptying robot vacuum you should get. And the list of potential options in your budget is much longer during Amazon's Big Spring Sale. A ton are severely discounted, including a few of my favorites that I've tested so far this year.

SEE ALSO: The Shark vs. Roomba debate is stale in 2026, but at least Shark is trying to revive its robot vacuum line

Automatic emptying isn't at all reserved for the best of the best robot vacuums as was the case five years ago — I'd argue that it's the most normalized feature outside of the vacuuming itself, even in the realm of cheap robot vacuums under $300. The unspoken agreement is that if you're buying a robot vacuum to avoid vacuuming by hand, you're not going to feel like manually dumping a dust bin every day, either. Plus, this fully automated setup will free up some time for other spring cleaning tasks that you've been putting off.

Below, I'm tracking the best live deals on self-emptying robot vacuums through the end of the 2026 Big Spring Sale on March 31.

Best self-emptying robot vacuum deal from Amazon's Big Spring Sale Eufy C28 $499.99 at Amazon
$799.99 Save $300   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Eufy Why we like it

I tested and loved the Eufy C28 when it came out in February 2026. And I have a feeling it'll remain one of my most recommended robot vacuum and mop combos for the next year or so.

On sale for less than $500, the Eufy C28 is probably the most affordable roller mop robot vacuum you'll find this season. The fluffy roller spans the entire bottom of the vacuum and rinses itself with fresh water as it's mopping, making it a far more reliable choice for soaking up large liquid spills (without smearing them around) than other cheap mopping robot vacuums. Its self-emptying dock also washes and dries the mop after each cleaning, so it's easier to forgive how painfully loud it is.

Its small obstacle avoidance was surprisingly accurate during my testing — it avoided slippers and hand towels, cat toys, and (most) phone chargers as well as many premium vacuums.

The sun is rising, flowers are beginning to bloom, and pollen is in the air (so much pollen). This all means spring is finally here, and Amazon is celebrating in its customary fashion: with deals across tons of categories.

We're nearing the end of the third annual Amazon Big Spring Sale, with discounts set to run through March 31, just like last year. The Amazon Spring Sale is your best chance to save until Prime Day in July (or maybe June?), so don't miss out. The further we get into the sale, prices are frequently fluctuating so we're checking and updating products regularly.

The deals featured in this sale reflect the spirit of the season: Outdoor gear and yard care supplies, spring cleaning supplies, spring fashion, and other household essentials will be the major featured deals. However, there's no shortage of savings on QLED TVs, flagship Sony headphones, Apple devices, Shark and Dyson hair tools, and of course, Amazon devices like Kindles and Echo smart speakers.

According to our review, Apple's AirPods Pro 3 are an "easy buy" if you've been looking for a new pair of AirPods. It's easy to see why: They have excellent ANC, eight hours of listening time per charge, a built-in heart rate monitor, and live translation features. While they hit a lower price of $184 back in February, this markdown is still worth checking out.

The JBuds Lux ANC are the best budget headphones we've tested in recent memory, offering decent noise cancellation, a long battery life, and balanced sound. (Just note that their fit can be hit or miss.) They're a great value at their regular price of $80, but $41.99 is even better during the Big Spring Sale. We saw them dip to $27 at Walmart on Black Friday, but this is their lowest-ever price on Amazon.

And if you're looking to spend a bit more for a more comfortable fit and top-notch ANC, flagship headphones from Apple, Bose, and Sony are all on sale.

Mashable reporter (and dog parent) Tim Marcin called this Shark stick vac "life changing" when he wrote about it for us. Marcin said, "[It's] my personal favorite vacuum — the best I've ever owned — which has made my life much easier. The long and short of it: It's light, super-effective at sucking up fur, affordable, and lasts for quite some time on a charge. It also converts into a hand vacuum when needed."

If you have some spring cleaning to do, select Shark vacuums are 50% to 60% off.

It offers support for Alexa+, HDR10+, Amazon Kids+, Amazon Luna, Xbox Game Pass, and NordVPN, and it's already more than 50% off.

Weighing in at just under 25 pounds, Anker's Solix C1000 Gen 2 portable power station makes an excellent camping companion. The power station can keep your devices juiced up and even has enough oomph to power up some cute fairy lights or whip up a quick meal in the air fryer. It can also recharge in under 50 minutes, which can really come in handy when you're off the grid. Mashable's reviewer called it "the perfect model for taking on a weekend camping trip or keeping around the house for occasional power outages."

GTA V star Ned Luke recently told Mashable he uses this gaming laptop when he travels, calling it "an animal." The model with 32GB of RAM and a terabyte of disk space is $330 off on Amazon, and it comes with a free copy of Crimson Desert. It's never been cheaper before. (Best Buy is price-matching it, but doesn't throw in the free game code.)

Once you fill and freeze its pints with the base of your choice, "It makes ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt, sorbet, and smoothie bowls with just the press of a button," writes Mashable's Samantha Mangino.

This TikTok-famous appliance is marked down to $199.99 during the Big Spring Sale (or $30 off), which matches deals at Best Buy, Target, and the SharkNinja website. However, Amazon one-ups them all by throwing in a free $19.96 credit on top of that discount; you save about $50 total there.

The Supersonic Nural's main flex over the regular Supersonic is a system of sensors that automatically lower heat near your head, preventing a sizzling scalp.

It has a three-axis gimbal that stabilizes its shots and can capture 4K video at 30fps. It comes with one battery that offers up to 31 minutes of runtime per charge. For $60 more, you can snag a bundle that throws in an extra battery, a shoulder bag, a propeller holder, and some spare propellers.

This is the smartphone gimbal our tech editor personally uses and recommends for shooting social video at home and at events. DJI recently replaced the 7P with a new model, the DJI Osmo Mobile 8, which is also on sale. However, it's hard to argue with an under-$100 price tag. This handy gimbal lets you shoot steady video and track your face, and it pairs well with DJI wireless microphones.

It's easy to forget that DJI sells power stations, too. But the brand recently revamped its portable power lineup, and the upgraded DJI Power 1000 V2 is practically tailor-made for anyone shooting video. In her recent review, Mashable Contributor Lauren Allain writes: "After testing the upgraded DJI Power 1000 V2, I'm convinced this is a great model for content creators, those who prioritize a super-quiet power station, or anyone looking for exceptional value in portable power."

It has a 1,024Wh capacity and features dedicated SDC ports that can super-fast-charge your DJI drone batteries, so you can get back in the air in about 30 minutes. Plus, when the station itself finally runs out of juice, you can plug it into a standard wall outlet and hit a full 100 percent charge in just 56 minutes.

I test headphones and earbuds — heres what you should buy in Amazons Spring Sale

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 22:42
Best Big Spring Sale headphones and earbuds deals Best headphones deal Bose QuietComfort $249 (save $100) Get Deal Best earbuds deal Technics EAH-AZ100 $247.99 (save $52) Get Deal Best budget headphones deal JLab JBuds Lux ANC $41.99 (save $38) Get Deal Best open earbuds deal EarFuns Clip $48.98 (save $21.01) Get Deal Best sleep earbuds deal Soundcore Sleep A30 Special $179.99 (save $20) Get Deal First discount alert Apple AirPods Max 2 $529.99 (save $19.01) Pre-Order Here

As a shopping reporter, trust me when I say I understand better than most that Amazon's sale schedule can feel fatiguing. However, as a headphones reviewer, I also can't deny that this year's Big Spring Sale offers a great opportunity to upgrade your audio game on the cheap.

Having spent the last few years testing the latest in noise-cancelling tech, open earbuds, and even sleep earbuds, I was curious to see what this week's sale would bring. Honestly, Amazon isn't messing around this time.

SEE ALSO: Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026: Live updates on the top deals

For example, the newly announced Apple AirPods Max 2 are already $19 off even though they're still in their preorder phase. Sony's latest flagship headphones are marked down, and Shokz has plenty of great options for anyone looking for a new pair of workout earbuds. Even Bose, which was quiet at the start of the sale, has finally dropped prices on its QuietComfort headphones, QuietComfort Ultra 2 headphones, and Ultra Open earbuds.

The Big Spring Sale officially wraps up tomorrow, March 31, at 11:59 p.m. PT. With time running out, I don't expect these prices to drop any further. If you see a pair you've been eyeing, now's the time to grab them.

Just a heads up: If you see a deal crossed out below, it means it has either sold out or the price has gone back up.

The gulf between budget headphones and premium headphones feels like it gets smaller with every new release, and nowhere does that feel more apparent than with the mid-tier Bose QuietComfort headphones. (To be clear, that's not a knock against premium headphones — the cheaper models are just getting that good). Though they don't have the absolute best comfort or spatial audio of their $449 QuietComfort Ultra 2 counterparts, they do come awfully close in that first category. And if you're not big on spatial audio anyway, it's not worth shelling out the extra cash for the flagship option.

The QuietComfort headphones live up to their name, and for $249, do it at a much more accessible price point than other options on our list (even with sale prices taken into consideration). While this isn't their lowest price ever — that would be $179 — this is still a solid get for the Spring Sale.

$299.99 Save $52   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Technics Why we like it

If you're chasing the absolute best audio fidelity in a wireless package, the Technics EAH-AZ100 are the new buds to beat. Right now, they're down to $247.99 at Amazon, saving you a solid $52 off their usual price.

Our tech editor, Timothy Beck Werth, says these buds deliver "richer, fuller, and more detailed sound" than any other earbuds he's ever tested. Thanks to their proprietary Magnetic Fluid Driver, you get incredibly clear bass and can distinctly hear individual layers in complex tracks without the notes blurring into each other.

You're also getting adaptive active noise cancellation, seamless switching between three devices, and clever AI tech that blocks out background noise for both you and whoever you're talking to on the phone. Just keep in mind that they might make your ears a little sore if you keep them in for more than a few hours at a time. Still, if you're an audio nerd looking for reference-class sound, this is a pretty good deal.

Check out our full review of the Panasonic Technics EAH-AZ100 earbuds.

$69.99 Save $21.01   Get Deal Why we like it

Open earbuds are convenient — they let you have the best of both worlds experience of enjoying your music privately while still getting to stay aware of the world around you. Where they may lose some convenience points, however, is in the fact that most people probably already own a pair of earbuds, and won't be too jazzed at the idea of dropping $100 or more on new ones just for some extra awareness.

Enter: the EarFun Clip. No, the sound quality won't quite match up to that of the Bose or Sony options, but at $48.98, they're also about one-sixth and one-fourth the price of those buds, respectively. I've spent time using them, and for their price point, they have well-rounded sound and minimal noise leakage compared to other open earbuds. If you've been open earbud-curious but less inclined to drop a ton of cash, this is the deal for you.

Best eco-friendly deals at Amazons spring sale: Low-waste kitchen, bathroom, and spring cleaning swaps

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 22:18
The best Big Spring Sale eco-friendly deals at a glance: Best kitchen deal Cleancult Plant-Based Dish Soap Liquid $5.69 at Amazon (save $4.40) Get Deal Best bathroom deal Suri 2.0 Electric Recyclable Toothbrush $114.74 at Amazon (save $20.26) Get Deal Best cleaning product deal Seventh Generation Plant-Based Multi-Surface Wipes (pack of 3) $11.61 at Amazon (save $8.25) Get Deal Best laundry deal Blueland Plastic-Free Laundry Detergent Tablets (120 count) $30.23 at Amazon (save $8.4) Get Deal Best reusable water bottle deal Lifestraw Go Water Filter Bottle $39.00 at Amazon (save $17.24) Get Deal

There's always a cloud of wastefulness and overconsumption hovering over any major Amazon sale event — the spike in orders inherently leads to a spike in trashed packaging or old items ditched for the incoming purchases. With the Amazon Big Spring Sale taking place just a few weeks before Earth Day, it's a perfect time to get a little more conscientious of your Amazon hauls.

One way to take advantage of Amazon deals more responsibly is to strictly shop for items that you'd have to buy eventually anyway, like spring cleaning supplies or kitchen restocks. Instead of re-buying your emotional support Tide Pods or Charmin, why not try a cardboard envelope of dissolvable laundry sheets or bamboo toilet paper while it's discounted?

SEE ALSO: How to recycle Amazon packaging from your Big Spring Sale purchases (yes, all of it)

Amazon's spring sale is home to a ton of eco-friendly versions of items you already use. I'm tracking all of the best eco-friendly Amazon deals live through March 31, including several items that I actually use at home myself.

Best eco-friendly kitchen deal Cleancult Plant-Based Dish Soap Liquid $16.71 at Amazon
$21.99 Save $5.28   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

Ditch the plastic bottle of Dawn for dish soap that comes in a carton. Cleancult's dishwashing liquid eats away at grease and grime just the same, but uses all-natural ingredients to do it. I couldn't even tell you how many times I've repurchased the fresh rain scent — I can only describe it as smelling like spring when I was a kid, and I'd buy it in the lotion or body spray versions if they existed.

More deals on sustainable kitchen swapsBest eco-friendly bathroom deal SURI 2.0 New Sonic Electric Toothbrush with Pressure Sensor & UV-Cleaning Travel Case | 1 Month+ Battery | Electric Toothbrush for Adults | Travel Toothbrushes | Tooth Brush | Green $114.74 at Amazon
$134.99 Save $20.25   See It at Amazon Why we like it

The Suri electric toothbrush is my all-time favorite sustainable self-care swap that I've found so far. It scrubs at stuck food and plaque with 33,000 sonic vibrations per minute, and leaves my teeth feeling noticeably cleaner than they did when I used a manual toothbrush (that was years ago at this point). I can personally confirm that Suri isn't exaggerating about the one-month battery life. It's especially clutch to not have to worry about a charger when you're on vacation.

When it's time for fresh bristles every three-ish months, brush heads can be sent back to Suri for recycling in a prepaid mailer that came with your toothbrush. (You keep your brush base.) Compare that to the billion plastic toothbrushes that are thrown away in the U.S. every year, most of which will take several hundred years to decompose.

Compared to the old version that I currently use and love, the Suri 2.0 now has a pressure sensor that warns if you're brushing too hard. Its redesigned travel case charges the toothbrush while it's inside and has a built-in battery-powered UV-C light that sanitizes the brush head in just one minute.

The best AirPods Max deal isnt at Amazon during the Big Spring Sale

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 22:10

Save $150: As of March 30, Apple's AirPods Max are available at Woot for just $399, bringing them back down to their lowest price ever. You'll save 27% on their $549 price tag.

$549 Save $150   Get Deal

Saving $100 on Apple's AirPods Max headphones isn't cool. You know what's cool? Saving $150 on the AirPods Max.

That's exactly the discount you can get if choose to shop at Woot instead of Amazon, Target, or Walmart as of March 30. The latter three retailers have the headphones down to $449 off their $549 list price (or completely sold out), but Woot brought the USB-C AirPods Max are all the way down to $399 — their lowest price ever. That's Amazon officially bested before the end of the Big Spring Sale.

SEE ALSO: The best Apple deals in Amazon's Spring Sale — we found new lows on AirPods, iPads, and MacBooks

As a headphones reviewer, I generally don't recommend Apple's over-ear headphones due to the discrepancy between their ultra-high price point and years-old specs. And that's before considering that the second generation Maxes are available for preorder now, with a release date of April 1. In other words, it really doesn't make sense to pay $450 for headphones that are about to be past-gen tech.

Paying $399, while still steep, is more of a justifiable decision, especially if you're already fully immersed in the Apple ecosystem. The first gen AirPods Max do have only 20 hours of battery life and no way to completely turn off (they go on sleep mode when not in use). But, they do have a unique design, great well-rounded sound, and solid active noise cancellation.

If you've been waiting to buy them on the cheap, they're currently back at their lowest price ever. You won't want to wait long, though — Woot's sale price only lasts for the next four days, or until the headphones have sold out.

Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026: Shop the best pet deals on Le Sure dog beds, Petlibro water fountains, and Earth Rated poop bags

Even as we approach the end of Amazon's Big Spring Sale, there are still a ton of deals to shop. Need to refresh your home and kitchen? There are plenty of sales on vacuums and small appliances still on sale. But don't forget to look for deals for your furry friend, too.

Take it from me, the owner of one dog and two kittens, who keep me busy and constantly cleaning the house. There are a ton of pet deals still available during Amazon's Big Spring Sale. While I picked up the less chic stuff like a new stainless steel litter box that's far easier to clean than a plastic litter box, there's more stuff to shop. Pick up my dog's favorite bed from Le Sure or a shiny new water fountain for your felines, all on sale during Amazon's Big Spring Sale.

After a long winter inside, your pet's bed may have a certain odor that even a trip to the laundromat can't fix. If you're looking to make an upgrade, try the Le Sure bed. Since bringing home the Lesure bed, my dog Milly has turned up her nose at all other beds. It's soft and cozy, not to mention really cute, feeling like a piece of decor rather than aesthetically unappealing pet furniture. Not to mention, it has an innovative cushion and cover design that means washing it is a breeze.

During Amazon's Big Spring Sale, save 21% off on Le Sure beds. Right now, that means you can get the Le Sure XL Donut bed for just $55.55, saving you $14.44.

While AirTags are great trackers for your keys, wallet, and luggage, they're not as extensive for pet tracking. They definitely work, but are best for those in a city who are around a lot of other phones, which AirTags need to maintain location tracking. So if you're planning to go off the grid this summer, and taking your dog on hikes, a GPS collar could save you the pain and worry of losing them if they go off trail.

The Halo Collar 5 is backed by PrecisionGPS that delivers accuracy within 1.4 feet. It includes boundary tracking so you can set the parameters of your yard and get notified if Fido strays. The only catch is that the Halo Collar, like most GPS collars, requires a subscription. That's not as hard to swallow when you're getting it on sale.

During Amazon's Big Spring Sale, get the Halo Collar 5 for just $445.40, saving you over $150 on the device.

Apples brand-new MacBook Pros are up to $200 off during Amazons Big Spring Sale

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 20:31

Mashable's Shopping team has been combing through Amazon's Big Spring Sale ever since it started on March 25. With less than 48 hours left to shop, most of the best deals we've spotted are holding steady (if they're still in stock) — with several big exceptions. A bunch of Apple's brand-new MacBook Pros were $50 off originally, but as of March 30, they're up to $200 off. Sometimes it pays to procrastinate.

Shop the M5 Pro and M5 Max-powered MacBook Pros on Amazon: Apple MacBook Pro, 14-inch (M5 Pro, 24GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $2,049.99 (save $149.01) Get Deal Apple MacBook Pro, 16-inch (M5 Pro, 24GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $2,549.99 (save $149.01) Get Deal Apple MacBook Pro, 14-inch (M5 Pro with 18-core CPU/20-core GPU, 24GB RAM, 2TB SSD) $2,649.99 (save $149.01) Get Deal Apple MacBook Pro, 16-inch (M5 Pro, 48GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $2,899.99 (save $199.01) Get Deal Apple MacBook Pro, 14-inch (M5 Max, 36GB RAM, 2TB SSD) $3,449.99 (save $149.01) Get Deal Apple MacBook Pro, 16-inch (M5 Max, 36GB RAM, 2TB SSD) $3,699.99 (save $199.01) Get Deal Apple MacBook Pro, 16-inch (M5 Max, 48GB RAM, 2TB SSD) $4,199.99 (save $199.01) Get Deal

These MacBook Pros are powered by the all-new M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, Apple's latest and highest-end silicon. They start with 24GB of RAM and 1TB or 2TB of storage, respectively. Compared to the base M5 MacBook Pro, they have newer wireless connectivity standards (WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 6) as well as faster Thunderbolt 5 ports. They're best for creative professionals with super heavy workloads, not casual everyday users.

The biggest price cuts are going to 16-inch M5 Max models with 2TB of storage and either 36GB or 48GB of RAM. At $199.01 off, they're now $3,699.99 and $4,199.99 apiece. If you can't spend that much (or you don't need specs that nice), the M5 Pro-fueled MacBook Pro starts at just $2,049.99 — a $149.01 savings. Again, they were only $50 off last week.

SEE ALSO: The best MacBooks to buy in 2026: Apple has a new budget laptop (and it rocks)

All of these MacBook Pros are enjoying their biggest discounts since launch, and they apply to both of their color options: silver and space black. Costco was price-matching them at the time of writing (with free standard shipping and no membership required), but they were still only $50 off at B&H Photo the last time I checked. They're stuck at full price at Best Buy.

Check out our full list of the best Apple deals from Amazon's Big Spring Sale, live through March 31.

The Home Depot doesn't hold competition sales for any of Amazon's seasonal sales as reliably as Target or Walmart do. That doesn't mean that there aren't any good spring deals to be found at the Home Depot during Amazon's Big Spring Sale. You just have to scroll a little bit.

SEE ALSO: I test new vacuums every month. Here are the robot vacuum deals I think are worth it at Amazon's spring sale.

So far, the Home Depot is once again giving away some free power tools with select purchases — reminiscent of the BOGO cordless tool promo we saw during Black Friday. (But hurry, some of the free DeWalt deals have sold out already.) The Home Depot is also quietly competing with Wayfair's Big Outdoor Sale with discounts on outdoor furniture, as well as up to 40% off in other home categories, from mattresses to wallpaper to area rugs from big brands like Safavieh.

I'm a Yeti fangirl and have owned a Rambler bottle for six years (!) now. Like most things in Yeti's lineup, it's virtually indestructible — no matter how hard I try. Made with durable kitchen-grade stainless steel and double-walled insulation, it'll keep your water cold or your coffee hot for hours. Plus, it can keep ice for days. I haven't personally used the straw lid, but I assume it's also built as sturdy as the bottle itself. And if you hate it, you can always grab a chug cap (which I highly endorse) or flip straw cap separately. At 30% off, this is the best price you'll find the 42-ounce Rambler bottle.
