    The weekend's best deals: Google Pixel 7, Apple MacBooks, 4K TVs and more

    Ars Technica

    Another weekend, another rundown of the week’s best tech deals. Today’s Dealmaster offers generous gift card deals on the best Android phones available, the newly released Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. The Pixel 7 Pro is available on Amazon at the regular retail price of $899, but will get you a sizable $200 Amazon gift card with your new phone. Likewise, the Pixel 7 is offered for $599 with an additional $100 Amazon gift card.

    Our review of the new Pixels, published this week, was another overwhelmingly positive one. The Pixel’s top-of-the-line camera, snappy, bloat-free software, and sleek, functional design are standout features we’ve come to expect from Google year after year. We don’t feel the 7 and 7 Pro are significantly better than the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro (also on sale for $399 and $649) respectively. So if you don’t mind losing the macro camera, the previous generation Pixels are still an excellent buy, especially with their respective discounts.

    There’s also a whole range of Google Nest smart speakers and smart displays on sale from Wellbots, all of which correspond to the lowest tiers for each device. Elsewhere on the web, we’ve got discounts on previous-generation Apple TV 4K, multi-generation Macbook Pros and Airs, a handful of 4K OLED TVs from Samsung, LG, and Sony, and much more. Check out the full curated list of the week’s best deals below.
