With tariff talk causing tech prices to jump and purchases to skyrocket, we're all desperately in need of some deals. We don't encourage panic-buying, but if you're seeking some specific tech and don't want to spend an arm and a leg, we've found a few discounts at Amazon we think are worth grabbing as of April 9.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. If none of these are catching your eye, be sure to check out our selections from April 7 and April 8. Many of those deals are still live, including 40% off the Amazon Fire 7 Kids tablet and the lowest price to date on the Sony SRS-XG300 Bluetooth speaker.
Our top pick: Apple 15-inch M4 MacBook Air

The brand-new 15-inch Apple MacBook Air with an M4 chip has dropped to its lowest price to date — just $1,139. That's only a $60 discount, but considering the laptop has only been out for a month, that's pretty impressive. A Mashable Choice Award-winner, earning 4.5 out of 5 stars, it's practically a no-brainer purchase if you're looking to upgrade. Mashable's reviewer, Stan Schroeder, dubbed it "the best-buy Apple laptop, period," specifically shouting out its "impressively powerful" and silent performance and improved FaceTime camera.

Fitbit Charge 6

The Fitbit Charge 6 checks all the boxes for a top-notch fitness tracker. It features a seven-day battery life, 40 different exercise modes, a heart rate monitor, sleep tracking, built-in GPS, and a sleek, slim design. You'll also get a six-month Fitbit Premium membership to kickstart your new health and fitness routine. It's usually a $159.95 purchase, but as of April 9, it's on sale for $119.95. That's 25% in savings.
Blink Video Doorbell

If you don't want to drop hundreds on a home security system, but still want some peace of mind when you're away, the Blink Video Doorbell is a great investment. On sale for just $29.99 — 50% off its usual cost — this smart doorbell lets you see who's at your door even when you're far away with a 1080p HD live view and two-way audio, plus infrared night vision when the sun goes down. Pop in two AA batteries and it can last for up to two years before needing new ones.
Apple Pencil 2

The Apple Pencil is a game-changing iPad accessory, whether you're a creator hoping to make digital masterpieces or just want to jot down some notes or doodles. The second-generation stylus gives you the luxury of magnetic charging by just hovering it close to the edge of a supported iPad. Plus, it offers pressure sensitivity that makes note-taking or drawing fine details feel like using an actual pen or pencil, as well as double-tap gestures that let you switch tools effortlessly. It's typically $129, but you can slash $20 off as of April 9 at Amazon.
Bose SoundLink Flex

Not all portable speakers are created equal. If you want something small enough to go with you anywhere, yet powerful enough to crank out your tunes for hours, check out the SoundLink Flex by Bose. Our pals at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) celebrated its "outdoor-friendly build and impressive rumble for its portable size," rating it "excellent" with 4 out of 5 stars. It boasts an impressive 12-hour battery life, a rugged design that is not only waterproof, but can float. The latest generation also streamlined the controls and offers customizable EQ in the Bose app, unlocking a better listening experience than its predecessor. Usually $149, you can snag it on sale for only $119 as of April 9. That's 20% in savings on any color.
