Big discounts just landed on Apple’s Magic Mouse and Trackpad

If you want to maximize your productivity after buying from MacBook deals or a Mac computer, or if you want to use your purchase from iPad deals as a laptop, then you should consider buying two of Apple’s most popular accessories — the Apple Magic Mouse and the Apple Magic Trackpad. Like most Apple devices, they don’t come cheap, but fortunately, they’re currently on sale from Amazon. The Apple Magic Mouse, originally $79, is down to $68 for $11 in savings, and the Apple Magic Trackpad, originally, $129, is down to $110 for $19 in savings. The discounts may not look like much, but you might as well take advantage of them if you’re going to buy these accessories anyway.

The wireless and rechargeable Apple Magic Mouse is in our list of the best mouse for Mac as Apple’s premier mouse, which isn’t a surprise considering Apple itself designed it. Like most Apple devices, the accessory features a premium-looking design and superb build quality, and it supports swipe gestures because its Multi-Touch surface essentially functions as a built-in trackpad. It will also glide smoothly across your desk with the help of its optimized foot design. It lasts for more than a month between charges, and it comes with a USB-C to Lightning cable for charging purposes. The Apple Magic Mouse is compatible with all MacBooks and Mac computers running on macOS X 10.11 or later, and all iPads that are powered by iPadOS 13.4 or later.

The Apple Magic Trackpad is also in our roundup of the best mouse for Mac, though it’s technically not a mouse. It’s an excellent pointing device though, continuing Apple’s reputation of amazing trackpads in its MacBooks. It will allow you to use all the gestures from a MacBook with your Mac computer or iPad, or even with another MacBook if you want to do the swiping further away from the laptop’s screen. It’s also wireless and rechargeable, with a battery that can last for seven weeks before you need to use the included USB-C to Lightning cable to recharge it. The Apple Magic Trackpad is compatible with MacBooks and Mac computers running on macOS X 10.11 or later, and all iPad models with iPadOS 13.4 or later.

This particular model isn’t a full 2-in-1 laptop but you can still use the touchscreen when you need to be more tactile. It has the latest Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor teamed up with 16GB of memory. There’s also 512GB of SSD storage which is great for storing all your key files on. It’s good to see a reasonable amount of storage when many laptops in this price range may still only have 256GB.

This MSI ‘starter’ gaming laptop is discounted to $550 at Best Buy
The MSI GF63 gaming laptop against a white background.

While some of the best gaming laptops can cost thousands of dollars, you don't necessarily have to pay an arm and a leg to get yourself one. In fact, there are some solid options for entry-level gaming laptops that are very budget-friendly, like the MSI THIN GF63. While it's not that powerful, it does have a great discount from Best Buy that brings it down to $550 from the usual $700, which saves you $150 in the process.

Why you should buy the MSI Thin GF63
One of the most important parts of any gaming laptop is the GPU, and in this case, the MSI Thin GF63 comes with a slightly older GPU, the RTX 2050, which is admittedly an older card, but if you're not expected to play the latest AAA, that's not an issue. As an older card, you can expect something along the lines of medium settings at 1080p for older titles and some free-to-play games, so it's a good starter option to get you going. The screen is a solid 15.6 inches with an FHD resolution, and it even has a 144Hz refresh rate, although that's going to be difficult to hit even with graphical compromises.
