Im a tech editor. I found 45+ tech deals Id actually buy in Amazons Big Spring Sale.

Mashable - Mon, 03/30/2026 - 17:57

As Mashable's tech editor, it's my job to test the latest and greatest products from brands like Apple, Samsung, and DJI. But I also get to test cool under-the-radar finds and random gadgets that only true tech nerds know about. For the Amazon Big Spring Sale, I hand-picked a fresh batch of tech deals that are actually worth shopping. I've also included some deals from competing retailers — if they have a better price.

Amazon Big Spring Sale tech deals: Best of the best Best Kindle deal Kindle Paperwhite $134.99 (save $25) Get Deal Best Charger Deal Anker Nano 45W GaN Smart Charger $27.99 (save $12) Get Deal Best Noise-Cancelling Headphones Sony WH-1000XM6 Noise-Cancelling Headphones $398 (save $61.99) Get Deal Best Drone Deal DJI Neo Mini 4K Drone $149 (save $50) Get Deal Best Fitness Tracker Deal Google Pixel Watch 4 $289.99 (save $60) Get Deal Best Creator Deal DJI Mic Mini (2TX, 1RX, charging case) $79 (save $20) Get Deal Best Streaming Deal Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select $17.99 (save $22) Get Deal Best Apple Deal Apple AirPods Pro 3 $199 (save $50) Get Deal Best MacBook Deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 265GB SSD) $899 (save $100) Get Deal

Between inflation, a global memory shortage, and overall economic anxiety (trust me — I'm feeling it, too!), you don't want to miss a chance to save some money.

I've personally tested many of these products, and I'm only recommending products with genuine discounts, because we all know big retailers like to play fast and loose with the definition of the word "deal."

Finally, a word of warning — Apple deals are moving fast. We've already seen the M3 iPad Air, AirTags, AirPods, and select MacBooks go out of stock.

Kindles starting at $94.99

I don't know what I'd do without my Kindle. As an avid book collector, I have literally run out of space to store books, and so I depend on my Kindle Paperwhite. And just like during Black Friday, you can grab my beloved Kindle on sale for $134.99, with the base Kindle available for under $100.

During the Big Spring Sale, you can shop wireless Sony headphones starting at just $48. On day six of the savings event, Sony's flagship cans, the famous XM6 headphones, are also discounted to $398, their best-ever price. I loved these headphones, and as I wrote in my review, "The ANC in the XM6 is as good as or better than any I've ever heard."

However, if you're looking for something in the mid-range, you can also grab the bass-heavy Sony ULT Wear Headphones on sale for $148, another Mashable Choice winner, at a 41% discount or the Sony WH-CH720N, Mashable's favorite Sony headphones under $100.

However, the next Anker charger I want to try is this little phone charger, which comes with a smart display and fun colors (you can match it to your iPhone, if you're into that sort of thing).

Yes, technically, DJI drones are banned in the United States, but they're still widely available from third-party sellers at Amazon. (It's complicated.) If you're a creator, real estate professional, or wedding photographer who wants to take beautiful aerial videos in 4K — or just an aspiring pilot looking to have some fun outdoors — these drones are by far the most popular choice.

Please note: Due to the ongoing DJI drone ban, all DJI drones are sold through third-party sellers at Amazon. Do your research into the seller and shop accordingly.

Amazon Echo device deals

As per usual, some of the best deals of the spring Amazon sale are on Amazon's own products, particularly in the Echo lineup. I was at the fall 2025 event where Amazon unveiled its new Echo smart home products, which include refreshes to the popular Echo Dot and Echo Show devices. You can also grab Fire TV Sticks starting at just $17.99, letting you stream movies and enjoy cloud gaming at home.

We've been waiting for this one: Our favorite Bose headphones are finally discounted for the Amazon Spring sale. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2), the brand's current flagship, are supremely comfortable. In fact, our reviewer called them the most comfortable headphones in the world, full stop. And if you need something a little more affordable, their younger sibling is also on sale.

During Prime Day, you can grab TVs starting at just $99. However, I recommend spending a little more than that. You can grab a 55-inch Fire TV at a very reasonable price, or a 65-inch Samsung QLED TV, released last year and now getting its first big price cut.

Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for good deals on my favorite TV: The Frame art TV from Samsung. Strangely, The Frame is more expensive during the big Amazon sale.

For the Big Spring Sale, Amazon is going hard with DJI deals, and you can find massive discounts on the brand's popular line of creator gadgets. I personally use the DJI Mic Mini and DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Gimbal when shooting videos for Mashable (check our Instagram story to see my latest).

As of day six, the cult-favorite DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Vlogging camera, which experienced a rare markdown earlier in this sale, is back up to full price. I'm keeping my eyes out for any last-minute price drops, however. Pro creators and YouTubers are obsessed with this camera (in my review, I wrote, "it should replace whatever vlogging camera you're using now"), so grab it before it goes out of stock again!

$849.99 Save $250   Get Deal JBL Bluetooth speakers — save 27%

I'm a big fan of JBL's Bluetooth speakers. In my testing, they've beaten out more expensive Bluetooth speakers from brands like Bose and Sonos. They're also extremely portable, super easy to use, and totally waterproof, i.e., perfect for spring and summer hangouts.

Have you heard the bad news? Climate change is making seasonal allergies worse, which I can attest to firsthand. So, if you want to add some fresh air to your apartment or home, get a HEPA air purifier that can remove 99.98% of allergens, bacteria, and other microscopic particles. This Shark model is currently 45% off for Prime members, which is probably why it's almost sold out.

If you miss flip phones that slip easily into your pocket, then you'll appreciate this one.

During the Amazon Spring Sale, this trendy little flip phone is $500 off at Amazon. It's far more affordable than Samsung's Z Flip 7, too.

Get the Jackery HomePower 3000 for under $900 with this exclusive code

Mashable - Mon, 03/30/2026 - 17:52

SAVE $1,600: Use code MASH300JACK at checkout to get the Jackery HomePower 3000 portable power station for only $899, down from the list price at Jackery of $2,499. That's a huge 64% discount and a bigger savings than we've ever seen at Amazon.

$2,499 Save $1,600 use code MASH300JACK at checkout Get Deal

We're all-eyes on Amazon for the next few days as the retailer rounds out the tail end of the Amazon Big Spring Sale. We've seen some nice deals on portable power stations during the sale, but there's a special non-Amazon sale to mention today.

As of March 30, the Jackery HomePower 3000 portable power station is on sale for only $899 at Wellbots with code MASH300JACK, marked down from the list price at Jackery of $2,499. That's a huge 64% discount for a savings of $1,600. This sale marks a bigger savings than we've ever seen at Amazon.

If you dread every wind, rain, ice, or snow storm for fear of it knocking out power, you have a few options. The traditional solution involved buying a generator and firing it up during an outage. But we have a new solution and one that uses solar for recharging and can be used inside: a portable power station.

SEE ALSO: I've tested portable power stations for years — here's what I'd actually buy in Amazon's Big Spring Sale

The Jackery HomePower 3000, like the name suggests, is great for home backup during a storm. You'll be able to keep the refrigerator cooling, the coffee maker brewing, and WiFi router broadcasting (assuming the Internet is still available).

In total, the Jackery HomePower 3000 has 3,072Wh of battery capacity. In real-world terms, Jackery says that'll keep a refrigerator on for up to two days or a rice cooker on for six hours. Plus, it recharges in under two hours.

Since we've never seen the Jackery HomePower 3000 for this low at Amazon, it's worth snagging today's deal from Wellbots. You'll be saving a giant $1,600 on the powerful battery station to keep your home charged up during the next outage.

This used Jaguar SUV is more luxurious than a new Rogue for the same price

The 2026 SUV market is packed with comfy, tech-loaded options, but most of the truly plush stuff comes with price tags that make your wallet flinch. That includes Jaguar’s F-Pace, which starts around $57,000 before you even think about upgrading the engine.

The best drone deals to shop in Amazons Spring Sale — DJI drones are down to record-low prices

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is droning on through March 31, with new price drops to come in just about every category you could think of. Yes, drones are on sale.

For those who hear "warmer weather" and "flying" and picture the perfect drone day instead of a vacation, Amazon's spring sale would be a smart time to expand your hanger with a nice new model from DJI or Holy Stone. We've scoured pages of drones on sale and have lined up the best Amazon drone deals below:

$289 Save $70   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

Despite the recent ban on DJI imports, you can still safely buy existing stock in the U.S. — and you probably should while it's actively discounted.

If you've been holding out for a DJI drone deal, this bundle just hit its lowest price in 90 days. The DJI Neo is a ridiculously beginner-friendly 4K mini drone that weighs just 135 grams, meaning you go from box to sky without worrying about registering it with the FAA. It features automatic subject tracking, takes off and lands right from the palm of your hand without a remote, and comes with full-coverage propeller guards for extra peace of mind.

Bonus: It includes three batteries and a charging hub, bumping your total flight time up to a very solid 54 minutes before you have to go hunting for a wall outlet.

If you want to learn how to fly without the constant fear of immediately destroying an expensive piece of tech, the Holy Stone HS110D is our favorite budget pick. It has a 1080p HD camera with a 120-degree wide-angle lens, but more importantly, it's incredibly forgiving for first-time pilots. Built-in safety nets like altitude hold and headless mode keep things stable while you figure out the controls, and the companion app unlocks extra features like voice control and trajectory flight.

The Antigravity A1 is a recently-launched flier that’s been hailed as the world’s first 360° consumer camera drone.  You fly it using a pair of lightweight Vision googles and a one-handed grip control, but this drone also has a 360° camera that films all around itself — which you can view in-flight by turning your head in the goggles. Not only that, it captures footage in stunning 8K. And this particular option comes with a bundle with the goggles, controller, three batteries, a carry case, and more. 

It stands to reason that this premium drone costs a premium price, which is why a $400 discount is not to be missed. We know what we’re talking about here. Mashable’s reviewer had a great time testing out this drone.

The best Pokémon deals in Amazons Spring Sale: TCG sets, gaming accessories, and more

Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is running through March 31, and there are plenty of deals for Pokémon shoppers to hunt down. It's a good time to shop if your wishlist includes sealed TCG products, collector boxes, gaming gear, or even Pokémon-themed phone accessories.

Here are the best Pokémon deals we've seen so far. (Spoiler: Pokémon Pokopia is not on sale just yet, but we're keeping a close eye on Amazon's listing in case that changes. Check out our review in the meantime.)

Amazon has the Pokémon TCG: Mega Charizard X ex Ultra-Premium Collection marked down to $189.42 (normally $249.99), saving you over $60 on a fancy collector's set. It's now just 42 cents over TCGplayer's market price value of $189. This set includes 18 booster packs, two foil promo cards, 65 card sleeves, a metal coin, six damage-counter dice, a playmat, and a deck box.

Best Pokémon booster box deal Opens in a new window Credit: The Pokémon Company Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Perfect Order Booster Display Box $234.95 at Amazon

With a price cut of over $45, snagging the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Perfect Order Booster Display Box (36 booster packs) on sale for $234.96 means you're only paying roughly $6.50 per booster pack. That's about $3.50 off compared to buying on-sale Perfect Order boosters individually.

Unlike an Elite Trainer Box, you are not getting sleeves, dice, or storage extras here. This is more of a straight pack-heavy buy for collectors who want to open a full box at once or chase cards from the new Perfect Order expansion without paying for the added accessories.

Ive tracked TV prices for years — the best Amazon Spring Sale TV deals are from Hisense and TCL

Mashable - Mon, 03/30/2026 - 17:29
The best Amazon Big Spring Sale TV deals at a glance: Best small TV deal Hisense 32-inch S5 DécoTV QLED FHD Fire TV $194.97 at Amazon (save $55.02) Get Deal Best 55-inch TV deal Hisense 55-inch Canvas QLED 4K TV $687.99 at Amazon (save $306) Get Deal Best 65-inch TV deal TCL 65-inch QM8K Mini LED QLED 4K TV $997.99 at Amazon (save $500) Get Deal Best 75-inch TV deal Hisense 75-inch U7 Mini LED QLED 4K TV $897.96 at Amazon (save $398) Get Deal

Most of the year's major flagship TVs announced in January hit the shelves by the end of March, which cues retailers to push deep discounts on last year's models. Amazon's Big Spring Sale (which officially ends tomorrow, March 31) is proving that this annual price drop cycle is very real.

SEE ALSO: What to look for when buying a TV, as told through this easy TV specs guide

It's not just Amazon's in-house Fire TVs that see big discounts during the Big Spring Sale (Amazon Fire TVs are hardly the best TVs you can get for the money right now). I've been tracking new TV releases and comparing TV specs at Mashable for years, and I consistently find that the most worthwhile Amazon TV deals are from solid budget brands like TCL and Hisense, with a few sizes of Samsung's The Frame occasionally thrown in.

Pro tip: Best Buy tends to have way more options for deals on flagship Samsung and LG TVs. For instance, Samsung just released its 2026 Neo QLED TVs on March 24 — Best Buy's stock of on-sale 2025 versions of those TVs, like the QN70F and QN80F, has been much more stable than Amazon's this week. Amazon barely has any recent LG TVs in stock at all, while Best Buy has countless 2024 and 2025 QNED and OLED models on sale.

SEE ALSO: Best Buy’s Tech Fest is over, but these deals are still worth your money

I'll be updating this list with the best Amazon TV deals until the sale officially wraps up. Every model featured here is at, or lower than, its previous best price based on data from camelcamelcamel, so these are genuinely competitive offers. I'm keeping a special eye out for fresh discounts across the models I've picked as the best 65-inch TVs you can buy so far this year.

Best Big Spring Sale TV deal Hisense 75-inch U7 QLED 4K TV $897.96 at Amazon
$1,297.99 Save $400.03   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

One TV that's actually beating its previous record-low sale price is the 2025 75-inch Hisense U7. Currently 31% off, it's $103 cheaper than it was just a month ago during Presidents' Day sales.

The 2026 version of the same TV was just unveiled on March 6, so a new price drop on the predecessor model certainly tracks. The 2026 75-inch U7 will cost $1,999.99 — more than $1,000 steeper than the 2025 model's $897.96 sale price. Those are the kind of steals I was talking about. The 65-inch model is also at a new record-low $697.96 if 75 inches is a bit larger than you'd like.

This mini LED model packs a serious punch for the price. Its brightness in SDR and HDR gets consistently great notes across the internet, with glare handling strong enough for most sunlit rooms. You don't always see a 165 Hz refresh rate in budget to mid-range TVs, so the Hisense U7 is a top contender for an XL gaming TV under $1,000.

There are many 3D printer brands out there to choose from, and, in 2026, it’s fairly hard to make the wrong choice.

Here’s why I love my Bambu Lab 3D printer, and how I think it completely changed how I see the 3D printing hobby as a whole.

A 12-ton KitKat heist is breaking the internet

Mashable - Mon, 03/30/2026 - 17:06

A chocolate heist is captivating the internet this week after a transport truck carrying 12 tons of KitKat products was reportedly stolen.

SEE ALSO: J.K. Rowling controversy explained

The KitKat bandits intercepted the delivery vehicle mid-route, carrying 413,793 units of a "new" KitKat product from Central Italy to Poland, CBS reports.

Parent company Nestlé told CBS News that the truck is still unaccounted for, and warned that the loss could "threaten" supply chains across Europe. In a follow-up statement on KitKat brand social media accounts, however, it was clarified that there is no threat to supply or public safety.

The internet, of course, is having a field day.

"We've always encouraged people to have a break with KitKat, but it seems thieves have taken the message too literally and made a break with more than 12 tons of our chocolate," a Nestle spokesperson told AFP.

Looking at my calendar, I can't help but think there may be Soderbergh-esque third act reveal in this viral tale. Surely, Nestle hasn't roped us into a week-long April Fools' Day joke, all with the plan of releasing a new flavor of KitKat after continued global boycotts of Nestlé products?

Stop blaming Lossless Scaling: Your GPU settings are the real problem

How-To Geek - Mon, 03/30/2026 - 17:00

Lossless Scaling is a fantastic tool that can help when your GPU can't handle certain workloads. It also helps out in games that don't support DLSS, FSR, or XeSS. Most importantly, it's cheap, and it works with any graphics card. But despite all those positives, it's not quite a full-on replacement for vendor-specific software, and it can run into various problems.

Infiniti QX60 vs. QX65: Why you’re paying more for fewer seats

How-To Geek - Mon, 03/30/2026 - 16:45

Most of the time, it’s simple: the higher the number on the tailgate, the bigger the SUV. But with Infiniti’s revised and redesigned lineup for 2026 and 2027, that logic has a bit of a curveball. If you’re looking at the 2026 QX60 and the 2027 QX65, you’re looking at mechanical twins. They share the same 268-horsepower VC-Turbo engine, the same nine-speed automatic transmission, and the same 6,000-lb. max towing capacity.

Ive tested portable power stations for years — heres what Id actually buy in Amazons Big Spring Sale

Mashable - Mon, 03/30/2026 - 16:38

I'll let you in on a little secret about portable power stations — they're almost always on some type of discount. It's rare that I see any of my favorite models listed at full price, which is not a bad thing. But it makes it harder to discern a good deal from a meh deal. To help out, I've scrolled the pages of the Amazon Big Spring Sale to find the deals I think are actually worth buying.

A portable power station has become a must-have tech item. It's like your favorite noise-cancelling earbuds — no idea how we survived without them. They've been my savior during power outages to keep the refrigerator running, my phone charged up, and the WiFi router connected. They're also well worth packing along on upcoming camping trips. Think of movie nights under the stars with a powered-up portable projector and fresh popcorn.

The one snag here is that batteries aren't cheap, and that's especially true of high-tech and long-lasting batteries found in portable power stations. Because of this, shopping for a power station during major sales like the Amazon Big Spring Sale is a wise move. Here are some of my favorite models seeing steep discounts during the sale. The sale wraps up March 31, so be sure to lock in these prices before they disappear.

If you need a large and in charge power solution, whether in an emergency or going off-grid, the Bluetti Elite 200 V2 is a fantastic option. It comes with 2,600Wh of battery power, which is more than enough to charge larger items like laptops and small appliances. It's also capable of recharging your phones and keeping the WiFi router on for an extended period of time. If you find that you routinely lose power, this unit is something you'll want to keep on hand to make sure you can charge things up when you need them.

The massive Anker Solix F3800 is ideal for home backup should the power cut out. On its own, the Solix F3800 comes with 3,8400 Wh of battery capacity to keep your tech running without grid power, but Anker made this deal even better during Amazon's Big Spring Sale. The Solix F3800 comes bundled with a BP3800 Expansion Battery and a 400W solar panel. The extra battery brings the total capacity up to 7,680Wh while the addition of a solar panel puts you in line for recharging off-grid.

It's a mix of portability, durability, solid port options, and it's on sale for under $430. This Jackery model comes with 1,070Wh for recharging your phones while camping, keeping the speaker ready to go, and powering up the projector for movie nights. Plus, it weighs under 24 pounds, so you won't have to struggle lugging it around camp.

After testing dozens of portable power stations, one of my go-to models for taking along on a weekend of camping is the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2. Sure, you can go lighter and even more portable models, but I love the Solix C1000's combination of 1,024Wh, three USB-C ports, and the excellent Anker Solix app. It's also incredibly easy to carry around the campground, weighing under 25 pounds. Plus, Anker won a Guinness World Record for the power station's ability to recharge in just 49 minutes.

Bluesky announces AI app for custom feeds

Mashable - Mon, 03/30/2026 - 16:35

Bluesky has created another app, Attie, that uses AI to build custom feeds.

The Bluesky team announced Attie at the Atmosphere conference over the weekend, TechCrunch reported. The conference is about the AT protocol, which is the underlying protocol Bluesky is built on, according to TechCrunch, and the conference attendees will be the initial beta testers.

SEE ALSO: Bluesky finally has drafts

Attie already has a Bluesky account, naturally, where it posted on Saturday that it's currently in an invite-only closed beta (much like how Bluesky was when it launched).

1/ Today, we’re excited to introduce Attie, currently as an invite-only closed beta. Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto. It’s something completely new—an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible.

— Attie (@attie.ai) March 28, 2026 at 6:48 PM

"Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto [the AT protocol]," the post reads. "It's something completely new — an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible."

The Attie presentation comes shortly after Bluesky CEO Jay Graber announced she's stepping down from her position. Graber will now be chief innovation officer, and she was part of the Attie announcement along with CTO Paul Frazee, TechCrunch reported.

Graber also posted a blog about Attie on Saturday, in which she wrote, "The proliferation of low-quality AI-generated content is making public social networks noisier and less trustworthy at a time when we need accurate information more than ever," yet major platforms aren't trying to fix the problem.

Graber continued that she and the Bluesky team believe AI should "serve people, not platforms," and that an open protocol "puts this power directly in users' hands." It's increasingly possible to personalize software without being able to code, she wrote, thanks to agentic coding tools.

"You can use it to build your own feeds, create software that works the way you want it to, and find signal in the noise," she wrote.

Attie users will apparently be able to describe what posts they want to see, and the coding agent will build the feed they describe. The experience will be "more like having a conversation than configuring software," according to Graber.

On the Attie website, examples of prompts include "poetry, long-form fiction craft, and writing process from people I follow" and "Show me electronic music and experimental sound from people in my network."

Those without an invite code can sign up for Attie's waitlist on the website.

Python in Excel isn't just for programmers—4 useful things you can do with it right now

How-To Geek - Mon, 03/30/2026 - 16:30

For decades, if you wanted to do heavy data lifting in Excel, your options were nested formulas, VBA macros, or a trip into the Power Query Editor. But with Python now accessible directly from Excel cells, there's a fourth way. It lets you perform complex data cleaning, sentiment analysis, and more—all without leaving the formula bar.

Amazon's celebrating the arrival of springtime weather with the return of its Big Spring Sale.

The best laptop deals from Amazons Big Spring Sale — we found record lows on MacBooks

Mashable - Mon, 03/30/2026 - 16:18
A quick look at Amazon's best Big Spring Sale laptop deals: 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 Pro, 24GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $2,049.99 (save $149.01) Get Deal Best Windows laptop deal Asus ROG Flow Z13 (AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $2,069.99 at Amazon (save $330 + free code for "Crimson Desert") Get Deal

I've spent the last three years as Mashable's resident laptop expert, a job I take very seriously. The fact of the matter is that a good computer usually isn't a cheap one, so I go to great lengths to make sure any laptop I recommend is worth the investment. Put another way: I'm very picky because I look bad if I tell you to buy an expensive machine that actually sucks.

I'm so picky that I also have opinions on where you should buy your laptop. Admittedly, Amazon usually isn't my first choice: It doesn't stock as many models as other tech retailers like Best Buy, and it's filled with listings from third-party sellers I don't fully trust. (They can have different customer service policies than Amazon itself, and they might be advertising misleading specs.) But there are always some good laptop deals available during Amazon's sitewide sales throughout the year — including its Big Spring Sale, live now through March 31.

SEE ALSO: Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026: Live updates on Apple, Samsung, DJI, and Kindle deals

The very best laptop deals I'm seeing on Amazon right now involve MacBooks, MacBooks, and more MacBooks. Almost every Apple laptop from the past two years is on sale, if it's still in stock, with the biggest price cuts going to a couple of M4 MacBook Airs. They're $200 to $300 off, making them significantly cheaper than their iterative M5 replacements, which Apple announced earlier this month. (Those are also on sale already, but only for about $50 off.)

The latest MacBook Pros have gotten much cheaper since the Big Spring Sale started on March 25, so congrats to any procrastinators out there. You can snag an M5 Pro or M5 Max model for up to $200 off; they were only $50 off last week.

Things are pretty sparse on the Windows side, but I managed to find an Asus gaming convertible on sale for a record-low price.

I've rounded up all of my top picks below. Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to a record-low price.

The 2025 MacBook Air is basically identical to its predecessor, save for its wireless chip and processor. (You're not missing out on much there: In our performance tests, the M4 version was only about six percent slower than the M5 model in both single- and multi-core workloads.) It features a vibrant Liquid Retina display, a backlit keyboard, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a 12MP webcam with Center Stage support. At $1,099, this 15-inch starlight model has never been cheaper.

The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a zippy gaming convertible with a detachable keyboard and a buttery 180Hz display — GTA V's Ned Luke is a fan. This configuration is powered by a high-end AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip with integrated graphics that performed on par with an RTX 4060 GPU when we tested it in another Asus laptop. Amazon has it marked down to $2,069.99, which is 14% off its MSRP and its best deal to date. (Ignore Amazon's deflated list price; it actually retails for $2,399.99, according to Asus' website.) It also comes with a free PC download code for Crimson Desert, Pearl Abyss' huge new fantasy-action adventure game.

This ROG Flow Z13 deal is price-matched at Best Buy, but it doesn't include the Crimson Desert code there.

Fitness tracker deals are holding strong in Amazons Big Spring Sale — we found Garmin, Apple, and Google discounts

Mashable - Mon, 03/30/2026 - 16:10
The best Amazon Big Spring Sale fitness tracker deals at a glance: Best Apple deal Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS, 42mm) $299 (save $100) Get Deal Best Garmin deal Garmin vívoactive 5 $174.28 (save $125.71) Get Deal Best Google deal Google Pixel Watch 4 (WiFi, 41mm) $289.99 (save $60) Get Deal Best budget deal Nothing CMF Watch 3 Pro $69 (save $30) Get Deal Best Samsung deal Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic (Bluetooth, 46mm) $369.99 (save $130) Get Deal Best Fitbit deal Fitbit Inspire 3 $69.95 (save $30) Get Deal Best Garmin alternative Suunto Run Sports Watch $179 (save $20) Get Deal

Amazon's Big Spring Sale has almost concluded (it officially wraps up on March 31), but the discounts are still holding strong. We've seen tons of deals on Apple products, robot vacuums, and speakers, but high-end fitness trackers are quietly getting some of the best price drops of the entire event.

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

Because we test wearables year-round, we know a good deal when we see one. Right now, the Google Pixel Watch 4 (it's also a Mashable Selects winner), is down to $289.99 (14% off). If you're an iPhone user, the Apple Watch Series 11 is sitting at $299 (25% off) — which is totally worth jumping on just for the battery life upgrade alone. And if you want something with a battery life that outlasts the others, Garmin's excellent vívoactive 5 has hit an all-time low price.

Whether you prefer Garmin, Google, or an Apple Watch, now's the time to get one because we probably won't see discounts like this again until Prime Day.

Here are all the best fitness tracker deals you can shop at Amazon throughout the Big Spring Sale 2026.

Best Fitbit deal Opens in a new window Credit: Fitbit Fitbit Inspire 3 $69.95 at Amazon

Read Mashable's full review of the Fitbit Inspire 3.

If you just want a reliable, no-frills tracker that won't cost more than your gym membership, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is our favorite budget pick. It's normally priced right around $100, but for the Big Spring Sale, it's down to a very affordable $69.95.

In our review, Mashable's Sam Stone calls it the "budget-friendly fitness tracker of our dreams." It sits easily on the wrist and automatically categorizes your activities (so it knows if you're out for a bike ride or a run) without you having to manually mess with the settings.

Because we actually test these things, we do have to mention a couple of minor quirks. Stone says that the heart rate monitor can occasionally get a little inaccurate if your wrist gets super sweaty during an intense workout. Also, the battery life is closer to six or seven days rather than the advertised 10. But considering it fully charges in under two hours, that's barely an inconvenience — and as Stone points out, it "sure beats the Apple Watch's battery life."

Read Mashable's full review of the Google Pixel Watch 4.

If you aren't already rocking last year's model, the Google Pixel Watch 4 is an easy recommendation — especially while it's $60 off for the Big Spring Sale.

Mashable’s Senior Culture Reporter, Christianna Silva, says that while it looks similar to the previous version from afar, the new domed design "gives the smartwatch more depth and makes it feel more spacious and modern." One of the coolest upgrades is the new serviceable design. If you're handy with a tiny screwdriver, you can "open up the watch, and fix what you need to fix — including replacing the display and battery — all without breaking your warranty." It also features a custom haptics engine that’s 15 percent stronger and a much crisper speaker for when you're chatting with Gemini.

Read Mashable's full review of the Apple Watch Series 11.

If you're looking for a solid Apple Watch deal, this $100 price drop on the Series 11 makes it a pretty stellar value. It's been chilling at this price for a while now, and while the Big Spring Sale hasn't dropped it any lower, $299 for the newest Apple Watch ain't bad. In our review, Mashable's Senior Editor, Stan Schroeder, says the Series 11 has a significantly longer battery life compared to its predecessor. "When I got my unit, I charged it to 100 percent and started wearing it at about 4 p.m. I wore it during the night (my sleep score was 81, which sounds a lot better than it felt), and the next day at 4 p.m. it was still at 38 percent," he writes. "That day, I charged it to full power late in the evening, and I only had to charge it again two days later."

It also has a tougher design with Ion-X glass that's twice as resistant to scratches, and a Sleep Score and hypertension notifications for flagging high blood pressure.

Read Mashable's full review of the Garmin vívoactive 5.

While it's since been replaced with the newer vívoactive 6 (which is not on sale right now), the Garmin vívoactive 5 is still a really solid pick. It's a perfect all-rounder for someone who wants a fitness tracker with plenty of smartwatch features.

In our review, Mashable's Lois Mackenzie says it "feels like it closes the gap between fitness tracker and stylish smartwatch much better than the 4," adding that it reminded her of the Venu 3. It can track everything from long runs and rides to stress, sleep, and body battery, and adds high-end recovery metrics like Training Readiness — though Mackenzie did point out it lacks an altimeter for tracking elevation on trail runs. It has a bright and responsive AMOLED display, and gets up to 11 days of battery power (Apple could literally never).

I personally gifted this watch to my boyfriend (he loves it) after snagging an epic Black Friday discount, but it's now even cheaper. At $174.28, it's over 40% off and is down to the lowest price we've ever seen.
