Today’s best deals: Star Wars, Chromebooks, AirTags, iPads and more

Happy May 4th everyone! That means two things: a slew of discounts on Star Wars gear and accessories, and a brand new deal. Our latest roundup of the best tech deals from around the web includes some deals on Star Wars games and gear, as well as Apple AirTags and some of our favorite cheap wireless noise-cancelling headphones, Anker’s Soundcore Q35.

Apple’s AirTags proved very capable in our review. As we noted, the more Apple devices are near your lost Air-Tagged item, the better. That doesn’t make them the best choice for people who are more concerned about losing something while out for a walk in the woods. Tile Mate, which is also on sale, is a better choice for such scenarios. Still, AirTags are extremely capable trackers in ideal conditions. We were even a little scared of how well they worked. In our review, we note some of the “anti-stalker” features that Apple built into it, and those features have been beefed up ever since. Holding on to this four-pack will save you $11 off the regular price of $100.

Anker’s Soundcore Q35 is the latest iteration of our favorite inexpensive over-the-ear, wireless ANC headphones. They do quite a bit of noise cancellation, especially with low frequencies like trains and airplanes. The Q35 is also lightweight and comfortable to wear for extended periods, with bass-heavy sound and 40 hours of continuous listening. The final price of $98 equates to the holiday season’s all-time low.

Elsewhere on the web, you’ll find discounts on a range of Roombas, a few Chromebooks, Kindles, some Apple iPads and Beats headphones, and a variety of Star Wars paraphernalia. Every retailer has their own Star Wars discounts, so check out the full list below for some standout points, as well as the rest of today’s deals.
