The 5 Best Weekend Deals on iPads, TVs, and Even Electric Lawnmowers

While the PC in PCMag does stand for “personal computer,” we’re always looking to move out of our comfort zone into the wider world of electronics. If there’s technology inside it, we review it and rate it, and this week’s deal roundup illustrates that fact. Not only do we have price drops as low as 47% off on a life-changing electric lawnmower, we’re also revealing deals on phones, TVs, and more tech that you didn’t know you needed until now.

Ego Power+ Self-Propelled Lawnmower Deal

As the weather warms, thoughts turn to the lawn and how to handle it. If you hate the labor of lawn mowing, this ridiculous 40% discount on the Ego Power+ self-propelled mower might lift that load from your shoulders. We reviewed an earlier model of their flagship product back in 2019 and liked it enough for an Editors’ Choice award, with writer John C. Delaney saying that the efficient machine “offers plenty of cutting power and is significantly quieter than a gas-powered mower,” and this new version improves on it with twin batteries, with up to 60 minutes of runtime on each. The Touch Drive technology lets you control and steer it with light pressure, and the three-blade system gives a thorough cut.

TCL 65-Inch QM6K 4K Mini LED Smart TV Deal

If you’re hunting a new TV for spring sports season, this TCL is a top pick at 47% off retail. In our review, we gave this an “Excellent” rating, noting that it delivered incredibly strong contrast and accurate colors, with a nice big screen and support for high dynamic range (HDR) content in Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and hybrid log gamma (HLG). One thing we did note is that brightness is pretty low out of the box, but it’s easy to go into the settings and boost it as high as 487 nits. It’s also a good choice for gamers, with a 144Hz refresh rate and support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro.

iPad Pro M4 Deal

Sure, you can get a base model iPad M4 starting at $999, and it’ll be the Editors’ Choice-winning tablet we raved about in our review. But if mobile creativity and productivity is your priority, you can’t beat this Best Buy offer that gives you 35% off the most pumped-up configuration of the Pro on the market. In addition to the potent 10-core M4 processor that handles high-end gaming, video editing, music production and more with ease, you get 16GB of RAM and a full terabyte of onboard storage. This model also includes cellular connectivity and Nano Texture Glass for the least glare of any tablet on the market.

Eufy Robot Vacuum 11S MAX Deal

Spring cleaning is on everybody’s mind right now, and if your floors are filling you with dread, let a robot do it (and get a 50% discount). We reviewed the base model eufy RoboVac S11 and gave it an “Excellent” rating, noting that its low profile let it slip under furniture with ease to clean out hard-to-reach places. The Max model ups the suction to 2,000 Pa and 100 minutes of battery life. Note that this isn’t the smartest robot on the market, with no app control or mapping functionality, but you don’t have to be terribly smart to suck up pet hair all day.

Google Pixel 8 Pro (Unlocked) Deal

If you’re looking to trade up from your last smartphone for a model that embraces the power of AI, this discount on the Google Pixel 8 Pro is worth a look. In our review, writer Iyaz Akhtar said that the mobile’s “Tensor G3-powered machine-learning smarts allow it to perform photo edits that no other phone can.” Google phones have always excelled at taking pictures, with high-quality lenses and advanced post-processing, and the Pixel 8 Pro goes even further, with a 50MP main sensor, 48MP ultra-wide camera, and 48MP telephoto lens in the camera bar on the back of the device. It all looks great on the big, bright Super Actua OLED screen.
