Amazon Tech Week Sale — Final Hours

Amazon's surprise Tech Week sale wraps up today, Sunday April 26. If you've been eyeing anything, now is the time to act. The standout deals include:

• ●Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones — $200 (60-hour battery, excellent ANC)
• ●Sony WH-1000XM5 — nearly 40% off (~$168), back to an all-time low
• ●Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 — $135 (was $169), record-low for bone conduction runners
• ●Acer Nitro V15 gaming laptop — RTX 5050, Intel Core i7, 165Hz display, 16GB RAM

LG 65" C5 OLED — $1,300 (Was $2,700)

This is arguably the deal of the month. Best Buy has the LG 65-inch C5 OLED evo TV at $1,300, slashed from $2,699 — a $1,400 discount and 52% off. The C5 features LG's α9 AI Processor Gen8, Dolby Vision IQ, and HDMI 2.1 ports for next-gen gaming. The discount is reportedly timed ahead of World Cup broadcast demand, so prices may rise once sports season heats up.

Google Pixel 10 Hits All-Time Low

Google is aggressively clearing unlocked Pixel 10 inventory ahead of an expected Pixel 11 announcement later this year. Amazon has dropped the Pixel 10 to $449 — up to $300 off list price. The Pixel 10 Pro XL is also at its lowest: $749 (was $999). These are new, unlocked units.

For context, $449 puts the Pixel 10 below the Pixel 10a's expected launch price — making it an exceptional value for Google's 2025 flagship camera phone.

MacBook Air M4 — $100 Off Across the Board

Apple's M4 MacBook Air lineup is seeing its best sustained discount since launch:

• ●MacBook Air 13" (M4, 16GB/256GB) — $899 at Amazon (was $999)
• ●MacBook Air 15" (M4, 16GB/256GB) — $1,099 at Amazon (was $1,199)

The M4 chip delivers a significant leap in AI inference and battery efficiency over M3. At $899, the 13-inch is hard to beat for everyday productivity. Compare MacBook prices at shopsmartai.org ↗.

• ●Sony WH-1000XM5 at Costco — $219.99, a trusted noise-canceller at a warehouse-club price
• ●Google Pixel 10a is expected soon — if you can wait, hold off for a possible launch deal
