The weekend’s best deals: The newest MacBook Pros, Kindle Kids, iPad Air, and more
It's the weekend, and that means another Dealmaster. In this week's roundup of the best tech deals on the web, we have Fire HD and Kindle tablets from Amazon, some solidly discounted computer peripherals, and even Apple's just-announced MacBook Pros have a price cut.
Amazon's Kindle Kids e-reader is down to a record-low of $85 (typically $120). It's the same device as the latest Kindle ($100), but it comes with a case, two-year warranty, and one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+. All of that typically costs $20 more than the regular Kindle device, but this sale price now makes the Kindle Kids version less expensive.
In our review, we mention that the latest Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite are neck-and-neck as two of Amazon's best low-end Kindles. They have few frills and do what they're meant to well: help you consume books textually or audibly. We also note that it's particularly great for kids even without the Kids version perks because of its size and ability to play audiobooks. The added value of the Kids version makes it a great buy for all ages.
