All Thursday’s best prices are now waiting, and Apple’s M1 MacBook Air is even better than last month’s Black Friday price. This is combined with the 20% discount on Nomad's Apple accessories sales and the rare discount on Apple's Magic Trackpad. Enjoy all this and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

Amazon currently offers the latest Apple 13-inch M1 MacBook Air 512GB in all three styles at a price of $1,099. Usually priced at US$1,249, today’s offer is equivalent to a savings of US$150, and is also US$1 higher than the Black Friday we mentioned earlier, making it the second best price so far. Those who wish to enter the M1 game at a lower price can get the 256GB model for $899, which is $100 less than the usual price tag of $999. 

Whether you missed the Black Friday discount or now want to put one of Apple's newest products under the tree, today's deal is as compelling as it was before. The latest MacBook Air is centered on the M1 chip, equipped with a 13-inch Retina display and all-day battery life. Its pair of Thunderbolt ports are supplemented by up to 512GB of storage space and Wi-Fi 6, and 8GB of RAM. Get a better understanding of its performance in our hands-on review.

In order to give you another chance to get the perfect holiday gift, Nomad has launched a new full-site promotion, and its popular Apple accessories series will enjoy a 20% discount. From the brand’s iconic protective cases for the latest iPhone, AirPods and iPads, to stylish charging stations with MagSafe, premium Apple Watch straps and even AirTag holders, Nomad’s accessories are our favorites after countless reviews of 9to5. You can buy all items here, but we also list some of the best items.

One of the most recent additions to Nomad stables, and one of our personal favorites, is Nomad's selection of modern leather iPhone 13 series protective cases, the price is reduced to 48 US dollars. Below $60, this is only the third significant discount of $12 lower than the usual price. This protective case is made of Horween leather material to wrap your new iPhone 13, which will form a strong bronze color over time, and provides 10-foot drop protection based on MagSafe compatibility.

Amazon currently offers the Apple Magic Trackpad at a price of $112. Usually priced at $129, you will see Amazon’s first significant discount and the new lowest price in history.

Whether you want to completely convert your MacBook to more desktops without giving up Apple’s first-class trackpad, or just need to upgrade from the Magic Mouse that comes with the M1 iMac, today’s discounts are very rare you will find Chance. In addition to all the built-in multi-touch functions of macOS, it also has a borderless glass surface and Force Touch support, which can be used to navigate in a Mac or iPad. It can be charged via Lightning, and a braided USB-C cable is included in the box. 

Earlier this week, after being ranked at the top of our holiday gift guide, we are now tracking a series of significant discounts in Nanoleaf's modular HomeKit lighting starter kit and expansion series. Leading the way, the new Elements Wood Look Smarter kit dropped to $229.99. It usually sells for $300, and what you see is a new historical low of $70, which is $20 lower than the one we mentioned earlier.

Nanoleaf Elements has all the same modularity and multi-color features that the brand is famous for, providing a brand new wooden design that strives to be more integrated with your home decoration. The Hexagon panel can be reconfigured in a variety of ways and provides HomeKit control on top of Alexa and assistant support. Nanoleaf also just launched Thread border router support for its Shapes series products, you can learn all about it here. You can get some additional insights in our announcement report. 

Amazon now offers Marshall Mode II true wireless earbuds for $153. Only marking the third significant price cut so far, today's offer also hit a record low of its usual price of $180.

As Marshall's first pair of true wireless earplugs, its Mode II provides the brand's iconic vinyl wrap form and remarkable audio fidelity. Thanks to the Qi-enabled charging case and the transparent mode through ambient audio, its 5-hour battery life has been supplemented by an additional 20 hours. Not to mention IPX4 waterproof and in-ear design. In our hands-on review, take a closer look at why these are my favorite earbuds on the market.
