It's the weekend, which means the time has come for another Dealmaster. Our latest roundup of the best tech deals from around the web includes a couple of discounts on Apple's 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros, with the former down to $1,799 at Amazon and Best Buy and the latter available for $2,299 at the same retailers.

Both laptops are still expensive, clearly, but each offer represents a $200 drop from Apple's MSRP and a roughly $130-150 drop from the notebooks' usual street prices online. Both deals are only $50 more than the lowest prices we've tracked, too. These discounts apply to the 512GB versions of the laptops, but if you need more storage space, the 1TB variants of each model are currently $200 off MSRP as well.

Besides MacBooks, our deals roundup also includes a couple of "buy two, get one free" sales at Amazon and Target that cover a wide range of books, movies, games, and toys. If you add three eligible items to your cart, the discount will apply to the least-expensive product you picked. As we've seen in past versions of sales like these, many of the qualifying products here aren't exactly winners. Still, this could be a particularly good opportunity to save on a few video games if you're willing to buy in bulk, with newer titles like Elden Ring, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Triangle Strategy, and others included in the sales.

Beyond that, we've dug up discounts on the iPad Mini and Apple TV 4K, Google's Chromecast, Wacom drawing tablets, the newly Ars-approved game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, a handful of noise-canceling headphones we like, and much more. You can have a look at our full curated list below.
