We’ve got another round of hot deals for you today, and they cover a rather eclectic range of tech products. You can find discounts on the latest M1 Mac Mini, Google’s venerable Pixel 3 XL, and Western Digital/SanDisk storage products.

Apple M1 Mac Mini Up To $150 Off At Amazon

The Mac mini was last refreshed in late October, and it received the highly acclaimed M1 (Apple Silicon) SoC at that time. This brain transplant gave the entry-level Mac a significant boost in performance over its Intel-based predecessor. Today, Amazon is discounting the base Mac mini (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) to $649 instead of the $699 MSRP. However, an additional $49.01 discount at checkout takes it down to just $499.99.

For those that require more storage space, the 512GB version of the Mac Mini carries an MSRP of $899, but it is discounted by $100 to $799 right now at Amazon. There’s also an additional $49.01 discount at checkout, which takes it to $749.99.

Google Pixel 3 XL Falls To A Low $199

It’s hard to believe it, but Google still has an inventory of the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL laying around, and retailers like Woot have been selling the devices at steep discounts in recent months. That’s also the case at DailySteals, which carries the larger Pixel 3 XL for just $199.99 after a $10 coupon (ADSPXL).

This Pixel 3 XL has 128GB of storage and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC. In addition, it features a 6.3-inch QHD+ AMOLED display (2960x1440), a single 12MP rear camera, an 8MP selfie camera, and a 3,430 mAh battery with wireless charging support.

Since the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL were first launched in 2018, they are in the twilight of their software support window with Google. As a result, Android 12 (coming later this year) is the last major update these phones will receive.
