Apple's M3 iPad Air drops to a record-low price
A couple months have passed since Apple released the iPad Air (M3) and our position remains the same: It's the best iPad on the market for just about everyone. Now, it's also a much more accessible option.
A new Amazon sale sees Apple's 11-inch iPad Air with an M3 chip drop to $499 from $599. The 17 percent discount is available on the 128GB model with Wi-Fi capabilities and no AppleCare+. We gave the new iPad Air (M3) an 89 in our review, thanks, in part, to that M3 chip. Its single- and multi-core scores came in 16 percent higher compared to its predecessor when tested with Geekbench.
The iPad Air M3 also has a much better screen and multitasking abilities this time around. Plus, it's compatible with a much improved Magic Keyboard. The add-on is akin to the one you'd get with Apple's iPad Pro M4 while also dropping by $30 from the previous model. But, it will still cost you $269 for the 11-inch model and $319 for the 13-inch one.

Save 60% on a Refurbished M1 MacBook Air That Still Outperforms Many PCs
The following content is brought to you by PCMag partners. If you buy a product featured here, we may earn an affiliate commission or other compensation. Apple made bold claims when the MacBook Air M1 first launched: faster than similar Intel-based laptops, a fanless design, and all-day battery life. Five years later, those claims still hold up better than you might expect. This refurbished MacBook Air M1 offers a surprisingly snappy, silent experience for just $514.99 (Reg. $1,299) while supplies last, and it could offer a noticeable performance boost from your current aging PC. The 13.3-inch Retina display still looks great, with crisp resolution and sharp color. The M1 chip inside gives you an 8-core CPU and GPU combo that makes multitasking feel fast and smooth, whether you're editing docs, hopping on video calls, or juggling a dozen tabs. Since there's no fan, it runs completely silent. It also has up to 18 hours of battery life, so you're not constantly reaching for a charger. It boots fast, handles everyday tasks with ease, and feels responsive from the jump thanks to the 128GB SSD. This one's in grade 'A' refurbished condition, so it basically looks new, and it's just way cheaper than heading to the Apple store. Grab this refurbished MacBook deal before they're sold out for $514.99 (Reg. $1,299). Prices subject to change. PCMag editors select and review products independently.

Check Out the Homes of 8 Famous Money Experts, From Bezos to Buffett
One of the perks of being a famous money expert (or simply one of the wealthiest people on Earth) is having the ability to live large — literally. Having amassed an incredible amount of wealth, folks such as Jeff Bezos also have acquired some fascinating real estate portfolios that reflect not only their personal tastes, but also their financial philosophies. Also See: Learn More: Whether it's a 1,400-acre hyper-secret Hawaiian compound or a 400-square-foot, four-bedroom home in Texas, the houses, mansions and compounds of eight of the world's most famous money experts might fascinate you. As the world's third-wealthiest human being (after Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, who will both pop up later), Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has a staggering real estate portfolio of over 10 homes valued at approximately $700 million, per the Robb Report. Estimated Cost: $165 million Bezos owns a 14,000-square-foot mansion with two houses, a golf course, a tennis court, a parking structure, a nursery and a swimming pool. Estimated cost: $78 million The secretive Bezos compound in Maui consists of 14 acres and multiple houses. Estimated cost: $234 million In 2023, Bezos began purchasing great deals of Florida real estate, making the state his primary residence. Estimated cost: $132 million Bezos has owned property in New York City since 1999, owning multiple massive units in multiple buildings throughout the city. Estimated cost: $120.5 million Bezos set himself up with a gargantuan compound in Medina, Washington in 1998, a great deal of which he has since sold and made Florida his primary residence. Estimated Cost: $28 million In addition to buying The Washington Post, Bezos has also purchased a building formerly used as the Textile Museum and transformed it into a private residence. Find More: Read More: Estimated cost: $31,500 Warren Buffett is currently the sixth-richest man in the world with a net worth of $154 billion, and yet the famously frugal investor owns only one home — in Omaha, Nebraska. Purchased in 1958 for approximately $31,500, Buffett has lived in the five-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home for 67 years. See More: Bestselling author and business expert Grant Cardone has an estimated net worth of $600 million. While that doesn't make him the wealthiest person in the world, it certainly has afforded him the ability to own some pricey real estate. Estimated cost: $40 million Cardone spent $40 million in January 2022 on a Malibu beachfront home that houses six bedrooms across 10,000 square feet. He is reportedly trying to sell the home for $65 million, and has noted he would prefer payment in bitcoin. Estimated cost: $28 million Cardone is also selling his Miami home for $42 million, after spending $28 million on it in 2021 in a purchase from Tommy Hilfiger. Billionaire and entrepreneur Mark Cuban has gone from splitting $600 rent with five friends in a single apartment in 1982 to owning an incredibly expensive series of properties throughout America. Estimated cost: $22 million Cuban makes his main home in the ritzy Preston Hollow neighborhood of Dallas. In addition to such extravagances as a tennis court and pool, the house also has 10 bathrooms and eight bedrooms. Estimated cost: $19 million to $26 million Cuban's West Coast home comes loaded with a walk-in wine cellar, an infinity pool and a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean. Estimated cost: $13.5 million Cuban owns a condo in the Trump International Hotel & Tower. Cuban bought it in 2000 and has yet to sell it because it has lost value. Estimated cost: $50,000 Perhaps befitting his mercurial, somewhat unusual nature, Elon Musk is the richest human being on Earth, and yet lives a tiny home that is only 400 square feet. Designed to be the height of functionality and efficiency, it is worth only $50,000 and is comprised of a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. It is located near Musk's SpaceX Starbase that is based out of Boca Chica, Texas. Explore More: Financial expert and author Suze Orman has a varied and pricey real estate portfolio, albeit one without many public details. Estimated cost: $3.6 million Since 2007, Orman has owned a 1,275-foot apartment in the ritzy Plaza Hotel along New York City's Central Park. Estimated cost: N/A While details on Orman's other properties are scant, she is known to also own a condo in South Florida, a condo in Johannesburg, South Africa, and property in the Bahamas, per her own website. Estimated cost: $10.2 million Financial advisor Dave Ramsey is known for his somewhat loud, larger-than-life personality, so it's only fitting that he would have had an enormous six-bedroom, nine-bathroom home of his own, one that stretches across 13,545 square feet, as reported by Taste of Country. The home is stacked with an elevator, a pool and spa, three garages and five fireplaces. All that said, Ramsey chose to sell the property in 2021. With a net worth of $216 billion, Facebook founder and entrepreneur Mark Zuckerberg is the world's second-wealthiest person, and he has a real estate portfolio that definitely matches his stature as one of the world's richest men. Estimated cost: $270 million Zuckerberg owns an enormous estate in Kauai that stretches beyond a whopping 1,400 acres. Multiple mansions are housed across the properties, along with a number of swimming pools, a tennis court, gyms and saunas, multiple treehouses connected by rope bridges, and even a 5,000-square-foot underground shelter, according to the Robb Report. Little else is known about this very mysterious — and very large –property holding. Estimated cost: $59 million Zuckerberg has purchased two properties along Lake Tahoe and has been at work grouping them into a seven-building joint compound that will feature additional guesthouses, offices and a spa. Estimated cost: $43 million Zuckerberg primarily hangs his hat in Palo Alto, in a series of neighboring homes, pools and offices. Estimated cost: $23 million Like Bezos, Zuckerberg has set himself up with a strikingly expensive home in Washington, D.C., following the most recent presidential election. At 15,400 square feet, the mansion is practically a compound unto itself, one that serves as a home base for Zuckerberg as his interests become increasingly political.
