The best President's Day tech deals on Apple, Samsung, Dyson, Blink and more

Apparently President's Day was created to honor George Washington's birthday. But now on a Monday in February we celebrate every US president by shopping for deals. Nixon, Taft, Coolidge, Polk, Johnson, Hoover and all those other guys — they'd be quite proud of us. In our searches we found quite a few deals on the tech we recommend, including $100 off Apple's new iPad Mini, a streaming deal for a year of Peacock for $30 and an $80 discount on the Apple AirPods Pro 2 . If you're already thinking about spring cleaning, you may want to check out the robot vacuum deals we gathered up from both iRobot and Dyson. And if you're in the market for security cams, a number of Amazon's Blink devices are currently discounted. Here are the best President's Day tech deals from this week that you can shop right now.

The best President's Day tech deals

Nathan Ingraham for Engadget

Apple iPad mini for $499 at Amazon ($100 off): Apple’s smallest tablet was updated in October and got a new A17 Pro chip, which Engadget's Nathan Ingraham found to be plenty fast for anything you'd want to do with the mini — casual browsing, couch binging, game playing and email checking. He gave it an overall score of 83 in our official review and particularly enjoyed it as a Balatro machine. It's also our favorite (partly because it's the only) small iPad on our list of the best iPads. 

Apple AirPods 4 for $100 at Amazon ($29 off): Apple's newest wireless earbuds came out in September and last week, they hit their lowest price yet.

Plus you get all the Apple-perks like fast pairing and device switching with other Apple gadgets, hands-free Siri and Find My tracking. Also at Target and Best Buy. There's also a noise-canceling version on sale for $149.

Engadget's Devindra Hardawar gave the computer a 92 in his review and it's currently Engadget's pick for the best MacBook for creatives. It has a fast M4 chip, long battery life, bright display and Sharp 12MP Center Stage webcam.

Apple Studio Display with tilt-adjustable stand for $1,300 at Amazon ($300 off): We appreciated the excellent build quality of Apple's pricey display in our official review, but noted that it's probably only for Apple diehards. Both the standard glass model and the
