Amazon's Big Spring Sale is now well underway and will run all the way through March 31. For Apple users, these sale events are always super exciting — it's a rare chance to snag a device for significantly less. Indeed, we're seeing discounts on everything from MacBooks to AirPods. So, if you've been hoping to get your hands on a brand-new smartwatch but refuse to pay full price, several Apple Watch models are on sale right now, with savings of up to $300.

While Apple's Series 11 and SE 3 are getting attention for being the newest models, a few last-generation models deserve a spotlight during this Big Spring Sale. This is because you can pick up the Apple Watch SE 2 for just $189 (save $60), or the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for $499 (save $300). If you don't mind an older model, they might be the way to go.

We're keeping this page updates with the live deals all weekend and through March 31. The following models are the best Apple Watch deals you can shop today (and they're all still in stock). However, we're seeing low stock alerts on a few models, so it's best to hop on these soon. So far, Amazon has the best prices, but we're also checking Best Buy, Target, and Walmart in case we see price drops that rival the current best deals on the market. We've got you covered for the best Apple Watch deals through the Big Spring Sale.

A $100 discount on the 42mm GPS Apple Watch Series 11 drops it to a record-low price, making it the perfect time to grab what our Tech Editor, Timothy Beck Werth, calls the "Best Apple Upgrade." Mashable's Stan Schroeder agrees, noting the battery life alone is worth the jump. "Even if you already have a Series 10, which has nearly all the same features, the new Apple Watch Series 11 doesn’t require you to charge it mid-day in order to keep it going through the night," he writes.

If you just want a reliable smartwatch without paying for features you won't use, the Apple Watch SE 3 is the way to go. We named it the "Best for Most People" in our smartwatch guide because it packs the exact same S10 chip as the Ultra 3 and the same water resistance as the Series 11 — "all for $150 less than the Series 11."

Now that the Big Spring Sale is in full swing, the 40mm model is down to $219, saving you $30. It’s also not the only configuration on sale right now. We've rounded up a few other discounted SE 3 models below so you can pick your preferred setup and still save some cash.

SAVE $56: As of March 29, the Our Place Wonder Oven is on sale at Amazon for only $129 instead of its usual $185. That's a savings of 30% and its lowest price ever.

$185 Save $56   Get Deal

My air fryer bit the bullet at the end of 2025, which led me on the surprisingly overwhelming journey of choosing a new one. The market is overflowing with options, but I had a few priorities in mind on my search: non-toxic materials, a compact build that won't waste counter space, and an aesthetically pleasing design that matches my colorful kitchen. One of the only air fryers that checked all the boxes was the Our Place Wonder Oven.

I received the Wonder Oven as a gift, but honestly, it's one of the few appliances I'd gladly spend my own money on. Especially now that it's dropped to a new record-low price during the Big Spring Sale. It typically retails for $185, but you can pick it up in any color for just $129. That's a total steal for an air fryer that can also toast, reheat, roast, bake, and broil.

The Wonder Oven comes with three different trays you can swap out depending on what you're cooking — a chromed steel air fryer basket and wire rack, and an aluminum bake pan with non-toxic ceramic coating. There's also a chromed steel crumb tray to slide in at the bottom to keep the oven from getting too messy. You can also easily slip all three inside for storage when you're not using the oven.

It takes up just a sliver of counter space compared to other air fryers, yet it can fit a whole chicken up to 4.5 pounds. I was honestly concerned with how tiny it is when I opened it for the first time, but it's actually a perfect size to feed two people.

Did I mention this air fryer oven is actually cute? Its retro-inspired design features manual knobs instead of digital controls. So it doesn't just look like a hunk of tech on my counter; it looks like a tiny oven from the '70s.

With Amazon's Big Spring Sale running through March 31, you still have a few days to snag the Our Place Wonder Oven for its best price ever. If you're in the market for an air fryer, I urge you to consider this one.

Today's Connections: Sports Edition is for people who watch women's soccer.

As we've shared in previous hints stories, this is a version of the popular New York Times word game that seeks to test the knowledge of sports fans.

Like the original Connections, the game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier — so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

The NYT's latest daily word game has launched in association with The Athletic, the New York Times property that provides the publication's sports coverage. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake — players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

A quick look at the best MacBook deals from Amazon's Big Spring Sale: Best MacBook Air deal Apple MacBook Air, 15-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $1,099 (save $300) Get Deal Best MacBook Pro deal Apple MacBook Pro, 14-inch (M5, 24GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $1,799 (save $100) Get Deal Best MacBook Neo deal (that's barely a deal) Apple MacBook Neo (A18 Pro, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $689.99 (save $9.01) Get Deal Best New Release Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $1,049 (save $50) Get Deal

Amazon's third annual Big Spring Sale is live through March 31. The event mainly revolves around seasonal essentials like cleaning supplies and outdoor gear, but it's also hosting some very attractive deals on must-have tech — including flagship Apple products like MacBooks. As Mashable's resident laptop expert, I'm on the case.

Apple actually just refreshed its MacBook lineup earlier this month, announcing updated MacBook Airs and Pros in addition to an all-new budget MacBook Neo. Most configurations of these new releases are seeing their very first (tiny) discounts during the Big Spring Sale, while their predecessors are priced to move at up to $300 off.

SEE ALSO: Amazon's Big Spring Sale is surprisingly good: We found 111+ deals on Apple, DJI, Sony, and Dyson

Keep in mind that Apple has discontinued its last-gen MacBooks, which means they'll only be available on the refurbished market once third-party retailers' inventories dry up. If you see a good deal on an M4 MacBook Air or Pro at Amazon this week, don't wait too long to add it to your cart. A few configurations are starting to go in and out of stock, and I think they'll sell out long before this summer's Prime Day sale. As of Sunday morning, we're seeing a few steeper price drops on MacBook Pro models compared to the first part of the Amazon Big Spring Sale. That means today could be a great day to buy.

I'll continue to monitor Amazon's Big Spring Sale MacBook deals as the sale continues into next week, so check back if nothing catches your eye just yet. Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to a record-low price. Deals with a strikethrough are no longer available at the time of writing.

The M4 MacBook Air may be a last-gen laptop, but it's still an incredibly capable ultraportable. (In our testing, it proved much faster than much pricier Windows laptops.) It has the same 12MP Center Stage webcam, Liquid Retina display, and 18-hour battery life as its new M5 counterpart, which just offers slightly faster performance and newer wireless connectivity. This 15-inch configuration with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage has never been cheaper.

Nine bucks off barely counts as a discount, but this is the best MacBook Neo deal I've seen outside of the Apple Store itself. (You can get $100 off there, but only if you're a college student, a parent of one, or school faculty.) This colorful little laptop has the same premium aluminum build as any other MacBook, and it boasts incredibly impressive single-core performance; in basic everyday tasks like web browsing, it's just as fast as an M4 MacBook Air. This particular model comes with Touch ID.

A MacBook Pro has more ports and a brighter, smoother display than a MacBook Air. It's also better at handling heavier workloads (like video editing) over a long period of time since it has fans. I recommend it as an upgrade pick for power users like content creators and developers. This current-gen M5 model is well future-proofed with 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. It's only $50 away from its record-low price from December.

Another configuration with an older, but more powerful M4 Pro chip is still in stock at the same price, though it comes with half the storage.

A mini PC is a solid option for a home server. They're small, relatively cheap, and low-power. I use a mini PC as a home server, but there are several things that my old Dell OptiPlex PC does better.

Every Excel spreadsheet eventually starts to rot. If your workbook relies on ancient file formats, hard-coded values, and formulas that look like massive, multi-line blocks of text, you're running legacy code that's slowing you down. And if you don't future-proof it, it's a ticking time bomb. Here's how to spot the rot and modernize your datasets.

Samsung leads the world in making phones with screens that fold. Long before that, there was a time Samsung made a phone shaped like a point-and-shoot camera. There was also an even weirder time, when Samsung made a phone that was a projector—the Galaxy Beam. The early 2010s were not quite the right time for this phone. 2026 is.

Navigating the launch of Perfect Order has been tricky for Pokémon TCG collectors, with prices fluctuating wildly. With that in mind, we're delighted to see Perfect Order Booster Bundles back in stock at a competitive price on Amazon.

As of March 28, Amazon has the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Perfect Order Booster Bundle listed for $49.95 in the Big Spring Sale. Each Perfect Order Booster Bundle contains six booster packs from the new Perfect Order expansion. Every pack includes 10 cards, one Basic Energy, and a Pokémon TCG Live code card.

It's important to note that this Amazon price is not down to market price. That has been falling steadily over the last few weeks. Does this mean the Amazon price will continue to drop? It doesn't work like that. Anything close to market value is a good deal on Amazon.

The Perfect Order expansion features fan-favorites like Mega Zygarde ex, Mega Clefable ex, and Mega Starmie ex. Now that the set has officially released, we expect prices to finally stabilize.

The best thing about working with the terminal is just how efficient it can be. Imagine if someone gave you a thousand documents and told you to replace specific patterns of text inside those files. You could spend days opening those files in an editor and manually replacing the text inside them. Or you could run a single "sed" command and be done in a few seconds. It genuinely feels like a superpower the more I learn about it and practice it. Here are 6 things I learned that made the terminal less frustrating for me and sped things up at the same time.

The settings you use in your 3D printer’s slicer can massively influence the quality of your print. If you’re having trouble with failed prints, underwhelming print quality, or prints that are weaker than you expected, you should consider changing a few of these settings.

When Amazon drops its latest sale event — such as the Big Spring Sale, which is live through March 31 — it's the perfect time to upgrade your gaming setup.

Gaming is a pricey hobby but there’s no substitute for high-spec, high-performance hardware. It takes the gaming experience to a whole other level and could make the marginal difference between success and failure. Arguably, the monitor is the most crucial of all hardware. So if you’re upgrading, you want the right model — and for the right price. That being the case, we’re recommending this deal on the Samsung 40-inch G7.

Thanks to the Big Spring Sale, the Samsung 40-inch G7 Gaming Monitor is currently priced at $699.99, a massive drop of 42%. This curved monitor is usually priced at $1,199.99, so you’re saving $500 in total.

Samsung are one of the very best when it comes to TVs and monitors, and this model is no exception. A mid-sized monitor, it has an impressively fast refresh rate on 180Hz and a 1ms response time — that means silky smooth gameplay — plus built in gaming spec such as AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. The real star of the show, however, is its ultrawide curved display, which delivers a WUHD resolution (5120 x 2160). Even at a modest 40 inches — ideal for more compact gaming stations — it’s fully immersive.

Don't miss your chance to save $500 on the Samsung 40-inch G7 Gaming Monitor as part of the Amazon Big Spring Sale. Now just $699.99 for a limited time.

A sentiment long repeated in the computing space is that you should have a separate SSD for your OS and important apps, and a second drive for, well, everything else. But many people don't stop to think about why, and what the exact role of that secondary drive should even be.

Even though most Linux distros don't require as much time in the terminal as they used to, eventually, it is going to come up. If you're doing anything remotely, executing a long task, or even just multitasking, the default tools may not be enough. That is where tmux comes in.

TL;DR: As of March 29, the Samsung S95F 65-Inch OLED TV is marked down to $2,197.99 in Amazon's Spring Sale. That's 27% off the list price of $2,997.99.

When the big sale events hit Amazon, you just know it’s time to snap up a mega smart TV at a mega discount. If you didn’t already know (seriously, shoppers — where have you been?), the Amazon Big Spring Sale is in full flow, with deals across all kinds of products, including laptops, iPads, gaming tech, and — that’s right — TVs.

One of the best TV deals we’ve seen is on the Samsung S95F 65-Inch OLED TV, which has been marked down by a sensational $800. Be sure not to miss it. There are just a few days left, with the Big Spring Sale coming to an end after March 31. The Samsung S95F 65-Inch OLED TV is currently marked down to $2,197.99, a 27% discount from the list price of $2,997.99. According to camelcamelcamel, it’s just one cent off this TV’s record low price.

We can’t recommend the Samsung S95F 65-Inch OLED TV enough. Samsung is among the very best names when it comes to dazzling smart TVs, and this one’s an absolute whopper — 65 inches of OLED 4K magnificence with access to all your favorite streaming platforms via an easy-to-navigate Tizen operating system and AI upscaling.

It’s also stacked with spec for gamers — including a 165Hz refresh rate — and boasts Object Tracking Sound+, a smart audio technology that emits sound from where the action is happening on the screen. So the sound actually travels with the action. Elsewhere in the features package, there’s an AI motion enhancer that smooths out finer details — particularly good for watching fast-paced sports.

Check out the Samsung S95F 65-Inch OLED TV while it's on offer at $2,197.99 — a saving of $800 in the Amazon Big Spring Sale.

Home Assistant is great, but it comes with a steep learning curve. It's understandable why the idea of letting an AI do everything for you is appealing, but it could have serious consequences.

If spring cleaning is on your mind, the aptly named Amazon Big Spring Sale is the perfect time to, erm, clean up on marked-down robot vacuums.

That’s right, the third annual Big Spring Sale — which continues through March 31 — has stacks of tech deals, whether you’re in the market for Apple devices, laptops, smart TVs, or even drones. And among those deals is a sleeper price on the Roborock Q10 S5+ Robot Vacuum, a vac and mop combo that does the dirty work on your behalf.

The Roborock Q10 S5+ Robot Vacuum has been marked down by a huge 49%, which puts it at the discounted price of $279.99. That's a total saving of $270 — this robo-vac's biggest ever discount. It's a full $50 cheaper than its previous lowest price.

This robot vacuum can pretty much do it. It tackles both carpets and hard floors thanks to a combination of hard suction vacuuming and a mop system that uses vibration technology. It can detect the difference between floors and automatically lifts its mop pads to prevent carpets getting wet. The robo-vac finds its way around your home using a LiDar navigation system that scans your living space. There’s also multi-level mapping, which means it memorizes up to four different floors, plus safe obstacle avoidance technology.

A dual anti-tangle brush means it’s great for pet owners, automatically untangling hairs as it cleans. It’s also self-emptying, with capacity in the docking station for up to 70 days of dirt before you have to empty it yourself.

All you need to do is programme its multiple modes via the Roborock app and put the daily chore of vacuuming out of your mind. Grab the Roborock Q10 S5+ Robot Vacuum for $279.99 in the Amazon Big Spring Sale and save $270.

To claim these offers, you must port in an eligible number from a competitor like Verizon or AT&T and sign up for a premium Experience Beyond or Better Value plan. The savings are delivered via 24 monthly bill credits, which cover up to $1,000 of the device's retail price. Alternatively, you can score the iPhone 17e for free when signing up for 24 months of most T-Mobile plans.

It's worth noting that T-Mobile will charge taxes on these "free" deals and a $35 device connection fee. We know that's annoying, but that's always the case with these "free" deals.

The iPhone 17 is powered by the advanced A19 chip, ensuring seamless performance and full support for the latest Apple Intelligence features. Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder reviewed the iPhone 17 and said, "Apple's iPhone 17 is an excellent phone that matches the iPhone Pro models in many ways that matter."

You don't get much for free these days, so this free iPhone 17 from T-Mobile offer is worth considering if you're looking to upgrade right now.
