It's a sorry state of affairs in the storage component sector at the moment, with prices having doubled or more since the AI boom moved in to destroy the PC component ecosystem. Prices and deals are now relative to the current climate, not to what was available a year ago, unfortunately. Today we have a decent $50 discount off of a large 24TB HDD, which turns it into one of the best value drives of this size currently available. Seagate's Barracuda Compute 24TB HDD is reduced to $699.99 when you use code BTSF2883 at checkout. That works out to $29.16 per Terabyte, or $0.02 per Gigabyte. In years gone by, we have seen this drive a lot cheaper in sales such as Black Friday, before the extreme compute price inflation took effect. But if you're hunting for a large HDD, then this is one of the best deals you're currently going to find.

The Seagate BarraCuda comes in a standard 3.5-inch metal chassis and is a CMR drive with a 512MB cache and 7,200 RPM disk spin speed. A SATA 6Gb/s interface delivers up to 190 MB/s transfer speeds, some of the fastest available speeds for this kind of storage, and is the standard for most PC and NAS setups. Its large capacity means you can store reams of data, including pictures and video files.

The massive 24TB capacity of this drive is perfect for someone looking for a large storage drive for a media center or for a big backup drive in a PC. Although the Seagate Barracuda Compute is fast for an HDD, it's not fast enough for modern gaming; you definitely want an SSD for that. But for storing movies, videos, and other media, this drive is perfect.

For a budget-priced 1080p gaming rig with decent enough specs, you're going to need over $1,000 in the current market. Right now, one of the best specs at this price point is this ABS Cyclone Aqua gaming PC for $1,099.99 at Newegg. You're saving $300 on its usual price, and you're getting a machine that will deliver enough juice for solid 1080p gameplay.

This system features an Intel Core i5-14400F processor, along with a current-gen Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, 32GB of DDR4-3200 memory, and a 1TB SSD. Right now, you'll struggle to find a competitor that offers similar performance for this machine at a lower price. The current state of the market has pushed 1080p budget machines like this above $1,000, with AI forcing RAM, SSDs, and GPUs to rapidly increase in price. ABS, a brand that Newegg owns and operates itself, is delivering good specs here for a price that still remains affordable.

This is inescapably a machine for 1080p gaming. First, the GPU, with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 shipping with 3,840 CUDA cores, along with 8GB of GDDR7 VRAM. This is an entry-level GPU that sits above the RTX 5050, with Nvidia DLSS 4 support giving it the latest Nvidia software enhancements in-game. Multi-frame generation is the key DLSS 4 feature for gamers on this rig, as it'll give you a decent AI-generated frame rate boost in any resource-heavy games.

You're also getting the Intel Core i5-14400F with this ABS machine, and this Intel Raptor Lake Refresh CPU continues to be an option for gamers in budget pre-builts this year. It has 10 cores, six of which are the performance cores that you'll want for gaming, along with four efficiency cores for multi-threaded work, and a clock speed that can boost up to 4.7 GHz. Yes, the Intel i5-14400F falls behind its AMD rivals for performance these days, but at 1080p on a budget rig, the gap doesn't make much difference.

You're also getting 32GB of GSkill Ripjaws V Series DDR4-3200 memory in this rig. DDR4 is an unfortunate compromise at this price point, so no DDR5 here, but with RAM costs continuing to be as high as they are, we'll be expecting an extended lifespan for DDR4 machines anyway. You also get 1TB of SSD storage, thanks to the Kingston SNV3S M.2 2280, offering Gen 4 speeds and giving you enough storage for a couple of big game installations, at least.

RAM and SSD pricing means that even budget PCs are getting more expensive, but the $1,099 sale price for this ABS Cyclone Aqua RTX 5060 rig isn't a bad one in the current market. These specs will give you enough power for 1080p gaming for the next few years, at least, while the price makes it a competitive option that few other pre-built machines on sale can beat right now.

If you want the perfect desk setup for either your gaming battlestation or home office, then there is quite a lot of furniture to consider. The obvious pieces of furniture you need for any room are a desk and chair, but you also need to think about how you want to position your PC: will it be on the desk, on the floor, or on a wheeled tray if you don't want to suck in the carpet dust? Whether you're going to use the default monitor stand or mount the screen to an arm or even to the wall to free up precious desk space, and whether you're going to use a microphone boom arm for easy mic positioning.

There are also smaller, but equally important pieces such as mats for using under the wheels of a chair to protect your flooring; headphone and gaming headset stands for holding or charging your headset when not in use. Plus other small ideas that may help fully equip your PC/home office environment.

We've used our expertise to find the best deals on the best equipment that we think could help you in your journey to complete the ultimate setup.

Walmart isn't the first choice you think of for computers and components, but it, of course, does stock them and is guilty of being a bit of a sleeper when it comes to hosting some great tech deals if you can find them. One of the main deals I spot at Walmart is on their gaming laptop selections, and today, we have a $350 saving on a little 15-inch gaming powerhouse for under a grand. MSI's Cyborg 15 with RTX 5060 graphics is just $949. That's a pretty good price for an entire gaming laptop in the current economic climate, and at a price that many can afford.

● Check out this deal at Walmart

The Cyborg has a 15.6-inch 1080p display with a 144Hz refresh rate, more than ample resolution for a small screen. Images will appear crisp thanks to the pixel density on the 15.6-inch IPS panel. Powering the display is an Nvidia RTX 5060 laptop GPU with 8GB of VRAM, plenty of memory for 1080p gaming. Rounding out the rest of the internal specs for the MSI Cyborg is an 8-core Intel Core 5 210H CPU, 16 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM, and a 512 GB PCIe 4.0 SSD.

The Cyborg 15 has a distinct aesthetic, with a slate gray coloring to its outer shell and a somewhat symmetrical pattern on the keyboard, with some transparent plastic cutouts. There's 4-zone RGB lighting on the keyboard, a fingerprint reader, a webcam shutter, and a healthily large 55.2Wh battery.

Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless networking, and an Ethernet port for a stronger cabled network. For your peripherals, there are fast USB ports that include USB-A and USB-C (DisplayPort and Power Delivery 3.0) ports, and an HDMI 2.1 (4k 60) port for hooking up to an external display.

The MSI Cyborg 15 in this deal is a 2026 model selling for just $949 at Walmart right now, making it one of the cheapest up-to-date RTX 5060 gaming laptops we've seen in a while, and a great counter to the ever-rising price barriers to jumping into PC gaming.

We've been highlighting the benefits of going down the pre-built gaming PC and laptop route a lot recently, thanks to the ever-rising prices of PC components. Today is another example of a price cut on a ready-made gaming computer that might be the saviour of those looking to buy into PC gaming in the current climate. Hitting a new all-time low price at Amazon is the Acer Predator Helios Neo 18 AI, falling to $2,199.99. That's a saving of $600 from its most recent sale price of $2799.99, which we've confirmed via price comparison sites.

● Check out this deal at Amazon

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 18 AI features an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU with 12GB of fast GDDR7 VRAM, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD. These components power your gaming on the huge 18-inch IPS display with an insanely fast 240Hz refresh rate and 3ms overdrive response time.

The chassis of the Predator Helios Neo 18 AI is a mix of metal and plastic, with an abyssal black finish. There is room to upgrade parts in the future if RAM and SSDs don't become unaffordable, with two DDR5 RAM slots that support a maximum of 64GB and two M.2 slots. For that gamer aesthetic, there's plenty of bright RGB zones all over the laptop, so you can dial it up to 11 if you want to go for the full light show.

The RTX 5070 Ti is one of the more powerful laptop graphics chips, and although not comparable to a desktop version, it still has 12GB of VRAM and will be able to run games smoothly on the 18-inch 2560x1600 WQXGA+ screen. Being an Nvidia GPU, the laptop will be able to access Nvidia's DLSS software to increase or smooth out frame rates on more taxing titles. This is a large laptop at 18 inches, and quite expensive due to its size and amount of memory and storage used. So it's good to see it hit a new all-time low price at Amazon of $2,199.99.

If you’re looking around for a good deal on one of the best gaming chips around and 32GB of RAM, we’ve found a worthwhile combo for you on Newegg. For only $969.99, they’re offering a powerful Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, 32GB of Corsair DDR5-6000 RAM, a quality mid-range Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite Wi-Fi 7 motherboard, and they even toss in a Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240 AIO. Saving almost $219 versus purchasing the components separately, this combo gives you a solid foundation for a speedy AM5-based gaming PC without breaking the bank.

• Check out this deal on Newegg

This combo begins with one of the most popular and fastest current-generation CPUs for gaming, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. This 8-core/16-thread Zen5-based processor has a base clock of 4.6 GHz and a max boost of 5.2 GHz, which is plenty of speed for any task. The 96MB of L3 cache on the X3D variant helps with gaming (among other things), making it one of the fastest gaming CPUs available. It is also a well-rounded performer that excels in games and is a good match for most applications. This combo also includes a free Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240 AIO, which allows you to get the most out of this awesome processor.

The RAM portion of the bundle, Corsair’s Vengeance RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 RAM kit, is currently available on Newegg for a painful $479.99 when bought separately. The good news is that the $218.99 discount brings this RAM down to a reasonable-for-the-times $261. This black kit matches the Aorus Pro board and features a frosted RGB light bar that runs the length of the sticks, drawing attention inside your case. Or, if RGB lighting isn’t your thing and you prefer a stealthy appearance, you can turn it off. The DDR5-6000 speed lands in the sweet spot for the AM5 platform and is a worthwhile, good-looking option. The SK Hynix ICs under the heatsink pair nicely with the board and offer plenty of overclocking headroom.

The Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite Wifi 7 is a solid mid-range motherboard and an excellent centerpiece for building your new AM5 gaming PC. The black board is sure to look good inside your chassis. The Aorus Elite offers plenty of connectivity, including 12 USB ports on the rear IO (2x Type-C USB4 40 Gbps), four M.2 sockets (one PCIe 5.0), Wi-Fi 7 and 2.5 GbE networking, several “EZ” features, and a 5-year warranty. For those who would like integrated RGBs on their board, there is a small strip under the chipset heatsink that gives off a subtle glow. Or if you don’t want them on, simply turn them off. Either way, it’s a good-looking motherboard and mates perfectly with the 9800X3D and RAM in this combo.

If you’re thinking of putting together a new AM5-based system, but don’t want to pay ridiculous prices, this Newegg combo is a good starting point. At just $969.99, you get an awesome gaming processor, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, a quality mid-range motherboard, and a free 240mm AIO. The $219.99 off the combo essentially puts the RAM at a more reasonable $261. Offers like this usually don’t stick around for long, so grab it before it’s gone!

We all know that prices of memory, storage, and graphics cards have all shot up in price this year due to the insane AI-boom sucking up all the production resources, and the outlook for PC component upgrades is pretty grim, but luckily there are still a few ways to nab a gaming computer without emptying your bank account. Gigabyte's Aero X16 gaming laptop is down to $ 1,099.99 at Walmart, a $600 discount off the $1,699.99 list price. A gaming laptop or a pre-built gaming desktop is turning out to be the best value-for-money way to keep playing in the current climate.

● Check out this deal at Walmart

The Gigabyte Aero X16 features an AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, an 8-core, 16-thread processor that can boost up to 5 GHz, paired with an Nvidia RTX 5060 with 8GB of VRAM, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD for storage.

The Aero X16 laptop sports a 16-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, offering 100% sRGB color gamut coverage and up to 400 nits of brightness. The IPS panel supports a refresh rate of 165Hz with a 3ms gray-to-gray response time for a smooth gaming experience.

There's no unified soldered RAM or storage in this laptop either. There are dual memory and M.2 slots for upgrades, so that when the prices of RAM or SSDs hopefully subside a little, you can add some more capacity.

Other features of the Aero X16 include a single-zone RGB-backlit keyboard, a 1080p webcam with Windows Hello support, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.2. For connectivity to peripherals and external displays, there are two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A ports, a USB 4.0 Type-C port, a USB 2.0 Type-A port, and a 3.5mm headphone and mic combo jack, plus a network Ethernet port.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus is down to its lowest price ever, with Amazon slashing 30% off the list price to bring it down to $154. That's even cheaper than the lowest price we've seen on the Core Ultra 5 250KF, which sells for about $20 less. Despite being priced like an entry-level CPU, the 250K Plus ranks among our best CPUs for gaming.

• Check out this Core Ultra 5 250K Plus deal on Amazon

The Core Ultra 5 250K Plus originally launched for $200, but it didn't take long for its recommended price to climb to $220. That's because it punches far above what its price would suggest, even at full MSRP. It, along with the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, was framed as a last-ditch effort to bring Arrow Lake to the masses after the failed launch of the original range.

And the refresh worked. The Ultra 5 250K Plus is a 18-core CPU with a split between six Lion Cove P-cores and 12 Skymont E-cores. As with all Arrow Lake CPUs, the 250K Plus doesn't have Hyper-Threading, so it comes with 20 threads, as well. The chip comes with a maximum boost clock of 5.3 GHz, and a PL1/PL2 power of 125W/250W. As it's an unlocked K-series processor, you can overclock the chip, though you'll need to pair it with a Z-series chipset.

Although we almost always recommend a Z-series chipset with a K-series SKU, there actually isn't a locked version of the 250K Plus. Further, many of the OC improvements are baked into the chip, including a 900 MHz bump in die-to-die frequency and a 400 MHz increase in memory fabric speed. Overclocking is a big upside, though it's not strictly required, especially when we're looking at a $154 CPU.

Although the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus is priced like an entry-level CPU, it performs much better than its current sales price would suggest, particularly in productivity workloads. You can see the results for the 250K Plus from our CPU benchmark hierarchy in the gallery below.

The 20 cores and threads help it to punch up in multithreaded performance. The chip is 33% faster in our multithreaded geomean compared to AMD's competing Ryzen 7 9700X, despite Team Red's chip costing twice as much right now. Compared to the Ryzen 5 9600X that's around the same price, Intel is a massive 80% ahead.

The multithreaded performance isn't a result of simply throwing a ton of weak cores at the problem. As you can see from our single-threaded rankings, the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus came out ahead of every AMD offering we tested, including the flagship Ryzen 9 9950X. Last-gen's Core i9-14900K is slightly faster, though it also costs nearly three times as much.

Gaming is where Intel has started to take a backseat to AMD, and the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus slips some rankings. On average, the chip is about as fast as the Core i5-14600K. That's marginally faster than the Ryzen 5 9600X and about 3% behind the Ryzen 7 9700X. AMD's Ryzen 5 7600X3D is about 10% faster, though in this current Core Ultra 5 250K Plus sale, Intel's CPU is about $100 cheaper.

At $150, just getting a competent CPU is tough — just see our list of the best budget CPUs — and the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus is more than competent. Don't miss this deal on Amazon.

If you need to buy new storage for your PC, you're going to pay extra. There's no way around that fact. The AI boom has forced prices up across the board. Without a time machine, the only way to score a good deal on a new SSD is to find a bargain that is hundreds of dollars cheaper than its current list price. Luckily, this 4TB Samsung 9910 Pro deal at Woot qualifies, knocking a huge $348 off compared to sister brand Amazon's rival discount price, making it $619.99 for a limited time only.

● Check out this deal at Woot

Before you grab your pitchforks, this is a good deal in context. Amazon owns Woot, so it's fair to use Amazon's own historic pricing as a benchmark here. That data shows this SSD, like the entire market, has seen a huge set of price increases since December. We've not seen this particular model close to this price since February. Prices have been unstoppable since then, too.

For your money, you're getting 4TB of fast storage from a known, trusted brand. Our Samsung 9910 Pro review, made before the market turmoil, shows this is a good all-rounder drive, with good power efficiency compared to its rivals. This is a PCIe 5.0 SSD, with speeds that vastly improve upon rival Gen 4 and 3 drives, and will be a huge step up over an older SATA SSD or traditional hard drive.

Two things are important to point out on this SSD: speed and capacity. 4TB of storage is a sizable amount for a gaming or productivity rig. Once you've installed your operating system, you'll be left with terabytes of space for your files. If you're a gamer, that'll mean enough for several of the biggest AAA game installations, alongside plenty of indies, with enough room left spare.

Speed is arguably the bigger draw, though. The Samsung 9910 Pro is an NVMe M.2 SSD, running on PCIe 5.0 over four lanes, delivering sequential read and write speeds of 14,800 MB/s and 13,400 MB/s apiece. This isn't the fastest, but it's not a million miles away from faster rivals like the Corsair MP700 Pro XT, which leads our best SSD list for speed with speeds of 14, 900 MB/s and 14,700 MB/s for read and write.

Specs-wise, the 9100 Pro is built with a single-sided design that includes an SSD controller, a DRAM package, and two NAND flash packages. It's made with Samsung's 5nm Presto controller and is able to max out PCIe 5.0 over four lanes for best throughput. It's a TLC drive using Samsung's 236-layer V8 flash memory modules. This particular 4TB model comes with a heatsink, too, to help keep the drive cool during use.

The $619.99 sale price for this 4TB Samsung 9910 Pro is not ground-breaking or an all-time low. In the context of the current PC hardware market, however, it's a good price that knocks nearly $350 off compared to the same model on sale at Amazon. It's a Prime exclusive (Woot is owned by Amazon), so if you want it, you'll need to make sure you use a Woot account that's linked to your existing Amazon Prime account.

Your beloved PCs deserve a regular clean as part of their maintenance schedule. If you miss a seasonal clean or two it is easy for dust to build up and transform from a slight blemish on the system's appearance to something that actually hinders cooling and performance. For all your dusty electronics cleaning tasks, a capable air duster can save the day, and we've spotted a limited-time deal on the powerful Wolfbox MF60 Compressed Air Duster. It is at one of its best prices ever, reduced by 39% from $49.99 to $30.39, for a limited time on Amazon.

• Check out this deal on Amazon

No matter how clean you keep your home, electrical equipment always attracts dust. With PC airflow cases pulling in air from outside to keep components cool, there's always a fresh intake of detritus every time it is used. Laptop fans can be an even worse dust magnet if they are regularly carried around in bags, rested on soft furnishings - an issue exacerbated by the small fans and vents on portables.

This is where a capable dust buster can be useful. It can make maintenance effortless and convenient. The Wolfbox MF60 Compressed Air Duster, for example, is a cordless rechargeable device weighing just half a pound. Users can select one of its three fan speeds, and its brushless motor will kick in to deliver up to 72.4 m/s wind speed using its 110,000 RPM fan.

For less strenuous dust busting work, or on more delicate items, users can dial in the fan at 25K RPM, or 60K RPM. On the lowest setting you'll get up to 240 minutes of air dusting from a single charge. Charging up from empty to full will take 3.5 hours. A USB charging cable is supplied in the box.

Another attraction of the Wolfbox MF60 Compressed Air Duster is the nozzle selection in the box. These include a flat nozzle for blowing dust off PC cases and desks, a long nozzle for deep cleaning computer keyboards and car vents, a round all-purpose nozzle, and there's a swim ring/air mattress nozzle for outdoor inflation and camping.

This curated package is available for $458.99, a massive $160 off the regular price of purchasing the components separately.

• Check out the Ryzen 7 9800X3D bundle deal on Newegg

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the best gaming processor that money can buy right now. With an octa-core, 16-thread design and a massive 96MB of L3 cache, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D not only delivers top-notch gaming performance, but it also excels in productivity tasks. Whether you are assembling a system for gaming or serious work, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D provides a rock-solid platform for your build.

While the exclusive bundle does not include any DDR5 memory, it is not a big drawback. Thanks to its design, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D maintains stellar gaming performance regardless of whether you pair it with slow memory or even a single memory module. Therefore, you do not need to spend a fortune on premium memory, which is a big plus in this ongoing memory shortage.

On the motherboard side, Newegg's premium bundle includes a feature-rich MSI B860 Gaming Plus WiFi motherboard. It boasts a 12+2+1-phase power delivery subsystem that maximizes the Ryzen 7 9800X3D's performance while also offering ample headroom for overclocking for those who want to extract extra performance.

The B860 Gaming Plus WiFi comes equipped with four DDR5 memory slots that can accommodate up to 256GB of memory with blazing data rates up to DDR5-8200. Meanwhile, storage options arrive in the shape of three high-speed M.2 slots (one at PCIe 5.0 and two at PCIe 4.0) and four standard SATA III ports. The motherboard also has a PCIe 5.0 x16 expansion slot for pairing the Ryzen 7 9800X3D with one of the best graphics cards.

While the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is not a processor that runs very hot, you can never have too much cooling. The MSI MAG Coreliquid A13 240, a solid 240mm AIO liquid cooler, uses a high-performance pump, a thick radiator with wider water channels for a higher flow rate, and two pre-installed 120mm PWM fans that are quiet and performant.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D bundle will be available on Newegg for the entire month. The massive 26% discount translates to real, tangible savings, bringing the bundle down to just $458.99. It is a rare opportunity to secure the best gaming processor with a very decent motherboard and 240mm AIO liquid cooler at a price that you probably will not find elsewhere. Given the popularity of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, the bundle will likely sell out very fast, so do not think too much before swiping your credit card.

If you're a content creator or a gamer that needs to have a whopping 32GB of VRAM to power either your software applications or run your favorite games on extreme fidelity settings, then you're looking to own an RTX 5090 graphics card. Unfortunately, these GPUs do not come cheap, with the current lowest price on an available-to-buy 5090 sitting at an eye-watering $4,399.99. However, with this amazing Dell deal on an Alienware Area-51 gaming rig for $4,779.99, you can bag a whole gaming PC that includes the RTX 5090 for just $380 more than purchasing the standalone graphics card.

● Check out this deal at Dell

The Alienware Area-51 gaming PC in question comes packed with the aforementioned Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card, but also includes the 20-core Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor, 32GB of high-speed DDR5 7200 MT/s memory, and a 1TB SSD for the operating system and game storage.

All of the above components are packed into Dell's own Alienware case with a tempered glass side panel to show off the internals of the system. A 240mm liquid AIO cools the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, and a beefy 1,500W 80 Plus Platinum-certified power supply has all the juice needed to run the RTX 5090. The Area-51 does away with Dell's old proprietary parts ecosystem and lets you add upgrades more easily, so you're able to add more memory or a bigger SSD down the line.

The RTX 5090 is the most powerful consumer GPU on the market right now.

The MSI MAG 321UPXB is a premium gaming monitor with all the bells and whistles for producing stunning images. The monitor is a flat-panel with a 32-inch viewable area and a high-detail 4K (3,820 x 2,160) UHD resolution. The QD-OLED panel has a fast refresh rate up to 240Hz and a blisteringly fast 0.03ms gray-to-gray response time thanks to the OLED panel tech. The combination of fast refresh and response times produces very smooth motion in games and eliminates ghosting artifacts.

The display also has an anti-reflective treatment to avoid light sources disrupting your viewing experience, plus it is compatible with Nvidia's G-Sync technology to help eliminate screen tearing by matching the monitor's refresh rate to the output of the game you're playing. To hit the high refresh rates of this monitor, you will require a powerful graphics card or use frame-generation techniques to boost frame rates. So you don't need to worry about the refresh rate of this gaming monitor bottlenecking your gaming PC.

The MSI's panel is DisplayHDR True Black 400-certified and supports VRR (variable refresh rate) for gaming consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Ports are also plentiful, with two HDMI 2.1, one DisplayPort 1.4a, and one USB-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode) to choose from. For peace of mind, there's also a 3-year manufacturer's warranty that includes coverage for the dreaded OLED burn-in.

The MAG 321UPXB has a list price of $729.99 at Best Buy, but is currently $599.99 for a limited time only.

HP is offering a powerhouse pre-built with enough performance to last you for years. This huge deal on this HP Omen Max 45L gaming PC, fitted with an RTX 5090 and 64GB of DDR5 RAM for $5,599.99 right now, knocks a massive $1,400 off its current list price. This is a rig that will deliver you a machine able to handle high-end 4K gaming with good frame rates.

Compare and contrast to the current price for just the RTX 5090 right now. To buy a standalone Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card, without the rest of this build, would cost you at least $4,499.99 right now for a card from a reputable seller. The extra $1,100 you're spending here gets you 64GB of RAM, 2TB of storage, an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K CPU, and more. The current market price for this amount of RAM and storage means you'd almost certainly end up paying more to build an equivalent rig yourself.

● Check out this deal on HP's website

As our HP Omen Max 45L review shows, this is a build made for serious gamers. It's one of HP's flagship gaming machines, built quietly but with a formidable presence at your desk, thanks to its massive case, with three 120mm fans visible at the front. Our review model differs slightly in specs, but the design is exactly the same here.

It's the GPU that makes this build unstoppable for gamers. Our GPU benchmarks make clear what you already know about the RTX 5090: this is the best consumer graphics card you can buy, with performance that no other consumer GPU can match. It has double the second-place RTX 5080's CUDA count of 10,752, while other specs include a massive 32GB of GDDR7 VRAM, using a 512-bit memory bus with bandwidth speeds of up to 1,792 GB/s.

As for the CPU, you're getting the Intel Core 9 Ultra 285K. This is a 24-core CPU, eight of which are performance cores, which are the best for high-performance gaming. A further 16 efficient cores are great for multi-threaded tasks. The 285K is fully unlocked and overclockable, and the performance cores offer a standard clock speed of 3.7 GHz, which can boost up to 5.7 GHz.

The 285K, like other Intel Arrow Lake CPUs, admittedly didn't excite for gaming when they launched, trailing behind AMD's top-spec alternatives like the 9980X3D. Luckily, the raw power of the RTX 5090 is a formidable counterweight against any deficiencies in the 285K, offsetting and heavily compensating for any of its shortcomings. Meanwhile, updates since launch have helped to improve the 285K's gaming performance, too.

Either way, coupled with the RTX 5090, you can still expect to hit high frame rates, 4K, and ray tracing on Ultra graphics presets. Nvidia DLSS 4 is also there to fall back on in a pinch, should you ever need to, with multi-frame generation able to use AI to boost frame rates in the most intensive games.

Other features in this pre-built HP gaming rig include Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 support. You're also getting a 2TB NVMe SSD with Gen 4 speeds included, which should leave a healthy amount of space for a big game collection. There's also a significant boost to memory with this rig, with Kingston Fury 62GB DDR5-5600 memory included as standard, split across four 16GB modules.

The $5,599.99 sale price for this HP Omen Max 45L machine is a good price in the current market for a high-end gaming PC, excluding those with a time machine that can head back to last year's prices. RAM, SSD, and GPU prices are all extremely high at the moment, so there's no guarantee that we won't see further price rises towards the end of the year. If you need an upgrade, the $1,400 saving offered by this HP machine might just be worth it.

If you’re looking to buy a new PC or upgrade your existing rig, times are still tough. RAM, storage, and graphics card prices are through the roof, with no end in sight. PC builders need to seek out combo deals like this 4-item gem from Newegg that’s only $983.98 (~$155 off) retail, and it includes a free 240mm MSI AIO. For under $1,000, you get one of the fastest gaming CPUs around in the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, fast storage with Samsung’s 1TB PCIe 5.0 9100 Pro, 16GB (2x8GB) of Team Group DDR5 RAM, and a quality Asus B850 Max Gaming motherboard. Just add a power supply and video card for a complete gaming PC.

• Check out this deal on Newegg

This combo begins with one of the most popular and fastest current-generation CPUs for gaming, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. This 8-core/16-thread Zen5-based processor has a base clock of 4.6 GHz and a max boost of 5.2 GHz, which is plenty of speed for any task. The 96MB of L3 cache on the X3D variant helps with gaming (among other things), making it one of the fastest gaming CPUs available. It is also a well-rounded performer that excels in games and is a good match for all but the most thread-intensive applications. This combo also includes a free MSI MAG Coreliquid A13 240mm AIO, which easily tames this processor.

Samsung’s 9100 Pro 1TB is one of the fastest M.2 drives around. Based on a PCIe 5.0 x4 connection, it boasts speeds up to 14,800 MB/s reads and 13,400 MB/s writes (sequential) with 2,200K IOPS reads and 2,600K IOPS writes. In other words, it’s fast, and the benchmarks (below) show it. Samsung backs these speedy drives with a 5-year limited warranty and lists Terabytes Written at a typical level for the capacity: 2,400 TBW.

For RAM, the combo offers 16GB (2x8GB) of TeamGroup’s T-Force Vulkan DDR5-5200. And while the RAM speed is outside of AMD’s sweet spot, you’d be hard-pressed to notice a performance difference without looking at a frame counter. These black, non-RGB sticks will also look great with the included motherboard. If you apply the ~$155 discount to the RAM, you’re getting it for $85, a price that would be considered reasonable before the AI/RAMpocolypse.

Last but not least in this gaming combo is the Asus B850 Max Gaming Wifi W. This budget board has a white PCB with black RAM and PCIe slots, standing out with its contrasting colors. The board is a perfect match with the 9800X3D processor. The board has three M.2 sockets (one PCIe 5.0) and four SATA ports for storage, fast networking with integrated Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5 GbE, and ample USB ports on the rear IO, including 10 Gbps Type-C.

With component prices still through the roof, combo deals like this are one of the best ways to get the most out of your budget. For only $983.98, you get one of the fastest gaming processors available, a top-tier 1TB PCIe 5.0 drive, DDR5 RAM, a capable B850 motherboard, and a free 240mm AIO. Just add a case and graphics card. Get it while it lasts.

Pick up an Apple MacBook Pro 14 with M4 Pro chip and a hefty 48GB of RAM for $2,999, thanks to a nice $900 discount at Best Buy. This top-spec MacBook Pro may feature the older M4 Pro chip, but it still packs hefty memory, storage, and performance specs. If you need a laptop with ample RAM for your productivity applications, this deal could be of interest to you.

● Check out this deal at Best Buy

This 14-inch MacBook Pro uses the Apple M4 Pro chip with 14 cores for CPU tasks and 20 cores for GPU operations. This model comes stacked with 48GB of unified memory and a 2TB SSD. The screen on the MacBook Pro features a Liquid Retina XDR nano-texture display with up to 1600 nits peak brightness, one of the brightest and best-looking screens we had reviewed at the time of testing, helping to earn this M4 Pro laptop an Editor's Choice award in our review.

We tested the 14-inch MacBook Pro M4 in November, 2024. It was the first laptop we tested with Apple's M4 chip. The SKU of the laptop we tested was less powerful than the model we are featuring today, featuring only 16GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage compared to the 48GB and 2TB in this model.

Apple's M4 chip showed strong performance on benchmarks, easily competing with the competition in both single and multicore workloads. On Geekbench, the new Mac achieved a single-core score of 3,807 and a multi-core score of 15,114.

This particular model of the MacBook Pro 14 with M4 Pro does lean on the expensive side, even when discounted to $2,999, but that's because it is stacked with a massive amount of RAM and a larger SSD, which Apple does charge a premium for. As this is unified memory and soldered to the mobo, there is no upgrade path later down the line, so if you want a laptop with a larger amount of memory, then you need to choose the amount you want at the point of purchase.

There's a great deal to be had right now on an essential starter toolkit for a PC builder or hobbyist. You can pick up this Strebito 144-in-1 screwdriver kit for $39.99 right now, which takes 20% off its usual price and gives you a set with both precision and electric screwdrivers, alongside 120 magnetic screw bits and 22 other maintenance tools for your hardware.

● Check out this deal at Amazon

If you don't already own a screwdriver set like this Strebito kit, you're missing out. It unlocks everything you could need for PC repairs or maintenance, and it's pretty useful for DIY tasks and hobbyist building. You're getting a full set with two drivers, a lot of bits, as well as built-in LED lighting, and tools to help you clean, scrape, and adjust anything you're working on.

You're getting two drivers designed for different types of repair or build tasks with this kit. First, the included mini electric screwdriver comes with a 350 mAh battery, which should let you charge it in under an hour using a USB-C cable.

This driver delivers 200 RPM speeds and has adjustable torque settings between 0.15 and 0.5 Newton-meters. The size and power make it a good option for those fiddly small repairs, especially with smaller screws to deal with, and the built-in LED light will help you inside a dark PC case, too.

As an alternative, you've also got an additional precision screwdriver. This is a bigger beast with more power, with the ability to unlock up to 7 Newton-meters worth of torque to deliver more pressure when you're dealing with tricky screws. You've got 120 different bits in this set to use with both drivers, too, across all the major head styles, including flathead, Phillips, Torx, and Pozidrive.

This Strebito set also has a magnetizer/demagnetizer tool to help you grab hold of screws in a crunch, but also weaken them if you're worried about electromagnetic interference in your PC case. You also get a 5.7 x 3.3-inch magnetic project mat, which will help you to keep track of your bits while you're disassembling (or reassembling). Meanwhile, the 22 additional repair tools in this kit include a number of brushes, scrapers, a suction cup, and more. This set will be particularly helpful if you're repairing a laptop or smartphone, for instance.

The $39.99 sale price for this Strebito 144-in-1 precision screwdriver set is a good price to pay for a beginner who needs a good, all-rounder kit for their projects. This is a must-own option for PC builders, hobbyists, and budding DIYers, but it'd also make a great gift for somebody, too. You've also got a lifetime guarantee, courtesy of Strebito, to help you if you run into any problems.

RAM bundles are becoming one of the best ways to upgrade or build a new PC, as they help to bring down the effective cost for new memory modules compared to buying RAM separately. This powerhouse Newegg bundle is no exception, featuring the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, an MSI MPG X870E motherboard, and 32GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR5 RAM for $1,308.99.

● Check out this deal on Newegg

This bundle saves you $259.99 compared to buying each part individually but, more importantly, it means you're effectively paying just $230 for the RAM, compared to its $489.99 list price. That's also a huge drop of $150 compared to the nearest, cheapest equivalent RAM kit on the market right now, and doesn't factor in the additional free $70 MSI cooler you're getting with this bundle, too.

The RAM isn't the only thing that stands out with this kit combo, however, as you're getting the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D for your next gaming PC with this deal. This Zen 5 CPU has 16 cores and 32 threads and ships with a huge 128MB of L3 cache capacity. It's built using the second generation of AMD's V-Cache technology, with a redesigned stacking layout that allows for better thermal performance. The extra cache means that the CPU isn't forced to drop back and use the slower system RAM as often, helping to ensure better and more consistent frame rates, especially in CPU-hungry games like Cyberpunk 2077.

The CPU benchmark data shows that the 9950X3D can match the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D's performance for gaming, especially when using AMD's Precision Boost Overdrive overclocking. It also has the advantage of unleashing its full 16 cores for multi-threaded performance when you need it to.

Alongside this powerhouse CPU is 32GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR5 RAM. This is a popular kit for gamers, comes with adjustable RGB lighting, and offers speeds of 6,000 MT/s. That's about average for DDR5, and is a significant improvement over older DDR4 modules, too.

The two 16GB memory modules can be installed in the also-supplied MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi ATX motherboard. That's a decent board for gamers that gained a four-star review when we tested it, too. It has plenty of USB-C ports and includes 5Gb and 2.5Gb Ethernet connectivity, along with WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 support.

Along with the parts that are officially included here, you're also getting an MSI MAG Coreliquid A13 240mm AIO cooler thrown in for free. This cooler would set you back $72.49 if you bought it individually, and it will help you keep that powerful CPU cool during use.

This $1,308.99 Newegg combo deal is a serious option for upgrading or building a new gaming PC. This bundle brings the effective cost of RAM down to just $230, which is simply impossible to beat if you buy the parts separately right now, so make sure to give it consideration before it sells out.

The ongoing global memory crisis has made upgrading an existing PC or building a new one a lot more expensive, with RAM, SSD, and graphics card prices all climbing in recent months. However, gaming monitors have become far more affordable than they were just a couple of years ago, especially when it comes to OLED. If you are looking for a new display for your setup, you could consider the Gigabyte GO27Q24A, a 27-inch QHD 240Hz QD-OLED monitor which is currently down to just $299.99 from its usual listed price of $449.99 on Newegg.

• Check out this deal on Newegg

The monitor offers pretty decent specs for the asking price including a third-gen 27-inch QD-OLED panel with a 2560x1440 resolution, which is considered the sweet spot for most gaming setups. It also offers a fast refresh rate of 240 Hz and a response time of just 0.03ms GTG, which makes it perfect for fast-paced games without compromising on the visual fidelity. For esports lovers, the monitor comes with a feature to quickly switch display resolutions or swap to a specific aspect ratio (such as a 4:3 ratio or a dedicated 24-inch custom format size) with a single click using a dedicated physical button.

In terms of color, Gigabyte claims up to 99% coverage of the DCI-P3 gamut with support for up to 10-bit color and a factory calibrated Delta E<2 rating. With a peak brightness of 400 nits in HDR, expect lower brightness levels at SDR, though it should be enough for most indoor use cases. Gigabyte has also added Black Equalizer 2.0 which essentially improves visibility in dark scenes by enhancing shadow detail without over-exposing the rest of the image.

As for connectivity, you get two HDMI 2.1 ports and a Displayport 1.4, meaning you can hook this up to your console alongside your PC or laptop. There’s even a standard 3.5mm earphone jack to plug in your headphones or speakers.

For $299.99, the Gigabyte GO27Q24A is one of the most affordable ways to step into OLED gaming without sacrificing key features like a high refresh rate, HDMI 2.1 connectivity, and a 1440p resolution. It may not be the brightest QD-OLED gaming monitor on the market, but at this price, it's hard to complain.

The PC hardware industry is facing an unprecedented challenge at the moment: a component crisis. During times like these, if you wanted to build or upgrade your own PC, you'd be stuck with overpriced parts unless you find deals. Well, worry not, as we've spotted exactly that — a combo bundle featuring a Ryzen 5 5500 with 16GB of DDR4 RAM and a B550M motherboard for just $280.99 on Newegg right now.

• Check out this deal on Newegg

The Ryzen 5 5500 is not exactly the newest or fastest processor on the block, but it's plenty for gaming on a tight budget. It's a six-core CPU with 12 threads that can boost up to 4.2 GHz. It has 16MB of L3 cache and 2MB of L2 cache, along with a 65W TDP. Since it's based on the Zen 3 architecture, it uses the AM4 platform, which means more affordable motherboards and, more importantly, access to less-expensive DDR4 RAM.

The AM4 socket also gives you a direct upgrade path to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D down the line because the motherboard is strong enough to support it. You're getting a Gigabyte B550M Gaming X board with Wi-Fi 6 that costs $155 on its own. It has strong rear I/O thanks to its four USB 3.2 ports on the back, along with two USB 2.0 ports and Gigabit Ethernet for wired connectivity. Internal I/O includes two ARGB headers and a Type-C header for your case's front panel.

You get two M.2 slots running at PCIe 3.0 speeds, which can be a blessing in disguise since you don't have to look for the latest SSDs anymore, helping you save a bit of money. There are four RAM slots with support for up to 128GB of memory at DDR4-3200. Speaking of which, the final product in this bundle is a 16GB (2x8GB) kit of TeamGroup's T-Force Delta Force RGB RAM in black. It's running at DDR4-3200 with a CAS latency of CL16.

Even though DDR4 is a generation old now, it's not outdated. It's sufficient for gaming and even some professional workflows. You're only getting 16GB in this combo, but the four-slot motherboard leaves room for an easy upgrade to 32GB later when things normalize. Overall, this is a fantastic budget bundle to get you started whether you're building a new PC or coming from a really old platform.

When you purchase all these items separately, the total bill comes out to around $420, so you'll be saving 32% upfront by going with the bundle instead! For just $281 on Newegg, you'll get a few essential components knocked off the list without compromising on performance or breaking the bank, all the while leaving room for upgrades that make sense in the current state of the industry.

There's a great bargain to be had right now on an RTX 5070 gaming PC that'll give you enough performance for gaming at 1440p. This MSI Codex R2 rig has a 10-core Intel CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070, 1TB of SSD storage, and 32GB of DDR5 RAM for just $1,399.99 right now, knocking $900 off its list price in the process.

● Grab this MSI gaming PC deal at Woot

You'll struggle to find a comparable set of specs on any other pre-built at the moment at this price point. The RTX 5070 is the big winner here, delivering you the power you'll need to game at 1440p, bolstered by current-gen Nvidia features like DLSS 4, which'll give you access to upscaling and multi-frame generation to make your games even smoother to play.

Our RTX 5070 review is clear about the performance offered by this mid-tier Nvidia Blackwell GPU. Shipping with this pre-built means you've got a graphics card that makes our best GPU list as the best all-round Nvidia GPU for gamers from its current generation.

Specs-wise, the RTX 5070 comes with 6,144 CUDA cores and 12GB of GDDR7 VRAM operating on a 192-bit memory bus. What that means for gaming is that you can expect high frame rates at 1080p, even with high to ultra graphics presets. 1440p is an option here, too, but the most demanding games will require you to tweak your graphics settings to cope. The GPU benchmarks make clear that this is a GPU that is modestly better than its predecessor, the RTX 4070, while sitting below the more powerful RTX 5070 Ti.

Meanwhile, the Intel Core i5-14400F processor included in this MSI gaming PC isn't a bad option for 1080p gaming, and it continues to be well-sold in many pre-built rigs. It comes with 10 cores, of which six are performance cores that will deliver the best gaming performance. The other four, meanwhile, are efficiency cores, which are good to use for multi-threaded tasks. The i5-14400F has a clock speed that can boost up to 4.7 GHz, too.

We'd expect to see compromises at this price point, whether it's on RAM or storage, but there are none. You're getting 32GB of DDR5 RAM here, so you're not settling for lower capacity or slower DDR4 modules, which, given the rapid rise in memory pricing, is a nice surprise. Likewise, you're also getting a 1TB NVMe SSD with this build, which gives you enough space for a decent set of modern games alongside Windows.

The $1,399.99 sale price for this MSI Codex R2 gaming PC is a seriously good deal in the current market. It's a current-gen rig with the performance to deliver 1440p gameplay and should last for several years into the future. You've got less than a day to pick up this deal before it expires, and we'd expect this Woot deal to sell out fast, so if you're interested, make sure to pick it up quickly.

32GB of RAM costs no less than $380 in the current AI component crunch, but right now you can get 32GB of DDR5 5600 Corsair Vengeance for $369, the lowest price going right now.

• Check out this deal on Woot

While we haven't reviewed this specific kit, the closely related Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 C36 is a solid kit. With support for Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD Expo, 32GB of DDR5 6000 is the sweet spot for gaming, making this the best RAM price we've seen in ages. While it is a little slower than the sweet spot, you'd be hard pressed to notice a difference in gaming or other activity and the price point is worth the negligible differences. The Woot discount on this kit is 26%, bringing the price from a listed $501 down to a reasonable $369, making this the cheapest 32GB kit on the market.

We haven't really seen standalone RAM fall to anything lower than $330 in quite a while. As mentioned, currently, this is the cheapest 32GB DDR5 kit on the market. It's not what you paid last year, but we expect prices to continue increasing, with vendors and market players warning just as much in recent days.

You get addressable RGB lighting, and timings of 40-40-40-77. With support for both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD Expo, this is the perfect RAM kit for any gaming build, either AMD or Intel.

According to Woot, this sale will only last 2 more days, but we imagine it will sell out in just a few hours. Get it while it lasts!

While we're seeing huge price rises for PC components, OLED gaming monitors are bucking that trend, becoming cheaper and more accessible than ever. This LG UltraGear OLED 27GX700A-B gaming monitor is the perfect example, dropping from its current $599.99 list price (and $849 launch price) to just $399.99 right now, which is a brilliant price for a high-spec, high-refresh-rate OLED monitor for gaming.

● Check out this deal on Amazon

This is a huge price drop for a display that was priced at nearly $600 less than a month ago. The UltraGear OLED 27GX700A-B launched last year and comes with LG's 4th-generation Primary RGB Tandem OLED panel, which the company claims can reach up to 1,500 nits of peak brightness. It also uses less power than previous OLED monitor generations, which should help improve your chances against disruptive burn-in.

This is a 27-inch display, which means you'll get an ultra-sharp 1440p picture compared to larger displays at the same resolution. Speaking of resolution, this display can hit 2,560 x 1,440, and comes with a fast 280 Hz refresh rate.

The refresh rate matters for a gaming monitor like this one, because it ensures that fast-paced action appears smooth with minimal motion blur. You're also able to benefit from Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support, which will completely eliminate screen tearing and stuttering by synchronizing the display's refresh rate with your graphics card.

Ultimately, though, you're going to be wowed by the upgrade from an LCD to an OLED panel. Specs-wise, this comes with DisplayHDR True Black 500 and UL Perfect Black certification, ensuring true black levels to improve visual depth and the quality of shadows in dark scenes. It has a contrast ratio of 1,500,000:1, covering 98.5% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and delivering color accuracy of Delta E ≤ 2. What this means is you're getting vibrant visuals with lifelike realism, which'll make the games you play extra immersive.

As far as ports go, you're getting two HDMI 2.1 and one DisplayPort 1.4 connections, along with a built-in USB hub. There's also a 2.5mm aux connector for your headphones, which includes DTS Headphone:X support, which can simulate 3D surround sound with up to 11 channels using standard stereo headphones. The monitor can be adjusted to suit your ergonomics, too, with a built-in stand that can be adjusted for height, tilt, swivel, and pivot.

This LG monitor also comes with built-in features to help protect your OLED panel, including automated panel care cycles, pixel cleaning, and screen shift to avoid common burn-in scenarios. You also get a two-year warranty with this monitor for additional peace of mind.

The $399 sale price for this 27-inch LG UltraGear OLED 27GX700A-B gaming monitor is a seriously good price and one you can't ignore if you need a display upgrade. It's the best-priced OLED at this size and with a refresh rate this high. This limited-time Amazon deal won't be around for long, however, so you'll need to snap it up fast if you want to secure one for yourself.

With PC hardware prices going up and up, thanks to the AI boom, you'll need to score a bargain where you can. Luckily, Walmart has slashed the cost of two different versions of this iBuyPower Y40 gaming PC, both fitted with an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, with the 9800X3D model costing you $2,099 right now.

● Check out this deal at Walmart

iBuyPower builds custom and pre-built gaming rigs that are both powerful and gorgeous to look at. This Y40 rig is no different, using a black Hyte Y40 case with a wrap-around glass panel to give you full exposure of the powerhouse components within. This is an all-AMD affair, with the top spec build combining an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT.

These aren't mid-tier components. The 9800X3D is our top choice as the best gaming CPU on the market right now, fitted with eight cores, 16 threads, and boost clock speeds up to 5.2 GHz, but it's the 3D V-Cache that steals the attention here. This X3D chip comes with a boosted 96MB of L3 cache, ensuring that the CPU doesn't need to fall back on slower system RAM, boosting frame rates and performance as a result. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is no slouch, either, as it's currently AMD's top GPU, and one of the best value choices for a gamer, with performance rivalling the RTX 5070 Ti for a lot less cash.

The CPU benchmark data below is clear: the 9800X3D is a performance beast for gaming, and without massive power demands. It offers the best performance per watt compared to its rivals, including over the newer AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D. In fact, our data shows that the difference in FPS between the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Ryzen 7 9850X3D is just 3%, and that's at 1080p. The gap is closed even further at 1440p and 4K, which we'd expect you to be playing at with a rig like this.

You can expect this X3D chip to continue to dominate charts like this for some time, giving this iBuyPower PC longevity for gaming well into the future.

The 9800X3D is paired well with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, as you won't be facing bottlenecks to hit high frame rates with decent graphics settings at 1440p. 4K is a possibility here, too, but you may need to adjust your graphics settings to cope if you see frame rates drop in any seriously intensive games. Luckily, the RX 9070 XT's 16GB of VRAM means you have more breathing room at the higher resolutions for more stable frame rates, especially versus cheaper GPUs with 8GB VRAM.

Other parts used in this build include 32GB of DDR5 memory, rated at 5,200 MT/s. That isn't the fastest RAM out there, but it's still faster than older DDR4, which would typically max out at 3,600 MT/s. You've also got a 1TB SSD for storage, enough for a couple of big game installations, and to keep the rig cool, you've got a 360mm AIO liquid cooler, along with several 120mm ARGB case fans. There's even a keyboard and mouse thrown in for free to get you started.

While we've seen this rig cheaper in the past, it's still a lot of spec for the $2,099 sale price, especially compared to rival builds on sale right now. That said, if you're happy to compromise on that X3D chip, you can go for a cheaper alternative. The same iBuyPower Y40 rig, but with the 9800X3D swapped out for a 12-core 9900X instead, is just $1,799 right now. That's $300 cheaper than the 9800X3D model, and a big $700 discount on its usual price.

The build, including GPU and case, is almost exactly the same otherwise, although this is an all-white build versus the black colorway for the 9800X3D model. The AMD Ryzen 7 9900X is a downgrade compared to the 9800X3D, as it loses the huge advantage offered by the 96MB L3 cache capacity, but it's no slouch. It can still deliver impressive gaming performance, however, sitting between the Intel Core i7-14700K and beating the newer Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus in our CPU benchmark results at 1080p. You'll see boosted performance if you decide to overclock it using AMD's built-in Precision Boost Overdrive on supported motherboards, too.

These are two powerful gaming PCs for 1440p and 4K gaming at prices that won't be around for long. You can pick up the all-black iBuyPower Y40 with the 9800X3D for $2,099 right now or, if you want an even cheaper bargain, the white iBuyPower Y40 with the 9900X is $1,799 instead.

Start getting all your gear ready to head back to school or college, and power your way through new projects and assignments, or even the occasional movie, with this gorgeous laptop from Acer. For the same price as an Apple Neo, you can get your hands on the Acer Swift Go 16 AI laptop for just $699 while this discount lasts. Saving a cool $300 off the list price. Packing some great tech for the money, you get a complete laptop that houses the latest WiFi 7 wireless connectivity and even a touch-screen display.

● Check out this deal at Best Buy

The immediate standout feature of the Acer Swift Go 16 AI is the large 16-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) OLED touch-screen display that offers an amazing UX when browsing the internet or creating content and projects, and delivers a cinema‑grade experience thanks to the OLED panel offering a color gamut with 100% DCI‑P3, and an ultra‑fast 0.2ms gray-to-gray response time.

Packed inside the luxurious and thin metal chassis is an Intel Core Ultra 5 322 processor with Intel's AI Boost technology (Up to 46 NPU TOPS). This processor was only released this year, and already you're able to get a massive discount on this laptop. A humungous boon in this time of extortionate prices on computing tech. Also included is 16GB of fast LPDDR5X memory, Thunderbolt 4 for rapid data transfer and fast charging, and 512GB of SSD storage.

We reviewed the flagship version of the Acer Swift 16 with a more powerful CPU and more RAM, but the rest of the laptop shared the same qualities as this SKU that we have on a deal today. A premium-feeling laptop computer with a large haptic touchpad, decent battery life, a comfortable-to-use keyboard, and quiet cooling operation. The laptop also meets military-grade durability standards with its MIL‑STD 810H rating, so it should hopefully resist a few scraps and bumps during transit between classes.

As an added bonus, you get to enjoy two months of Xbox Game Pass Premium, as a two-month membership is included with a purchase of this laptop. That's a library of around 200 or so games that you can access. And although this isn't a gaming laptop with a dedicated graphics card, you can still use it to stream games from the Xbox cloud and play over the speedy WiFi 7 connection. Perfect for when you have some downtime.

With the AI boom continuing to push prices up, you'll need to take advantage of deals like this one if you're looking for the best spec'd machines for gaming. MSI has slashed the price of this MSI Aegis R2 gaming PC, featuring an RTX 5090, 62GB DDR5, and a 2TB SSD, along with an Intel Core i9-14900K, to $4,899. That's a $1,000 discount that makes it just 17% more expensive than buying the GPU on its own, with the cheapest RTX 5090 available on sale for a whopping $4,199 right now.

● Grab this deal at MSI's store

The MSI Aegis R2 C14NVZ9-1436US is nothing short of a powerhouse. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is clearly the MVP of this build, giving you the power to deliver 4K gaming at the highest possible resolutions, with added functionality like DLSS 4 that unlocks a full arsenal of performance in this Nvidia Blackwell GPU. 4K, ray tracing, and Ultra graphics presets are all easily achievable with this GPU installed.

There simply isn't a better consumer graphics card on sale right now, as our GPU benchmarks below will confirm. It ships with 21,760 CUDA cores, which is more than double what is available in the second-best RTX 5080. It also has 32GB of GDDR7 VRAM, with a huge 512-bit memory bus. There won't be a game that this GPU can't handle.

The Intel Core i9-14900K you're getting is a little older these days, but it's still a popular choice for pre-builts. It continues to rank highly among our CPU benchmarks, delivering performance that beats plenty of its Intel successors. It has 24 cores, eight of which are the best-for-gaming performance cores, along with a top 6 GHz boost clock speed.

There aren't many compromises to spot elsewhere, either. 64GB of DDR5 RAM is generous in a pre-built these days, given the cost of memory right now. Meanwhile, that 2TB SSD gives you scope for a good set of game installations alongside Windows. This is an all-MSI affair, in a simple case with plenty of case fans to keep the build running cool, even under load.

This is a formidable rig for anyone, whether it's for gaming or productivity. The price alone makes it a sensible choice if you're looking to buy an RTX 5090: why buy just the GPU when you can pay 17% more for an entire machine? The additional cost of RAM, along with the SSD, will easily outstrip what you'd pay here. While we can't change the market, if you're looking for a gaming PC with one of the highest specs available, this MSI Aegis R2 rig for $4,899 is well worth considering, so make sure to grab it before this limited-time discount disappears.

If you're looking for a new hobby to get into, you can't go far wrong with some 3D printing. It's no longer a small fringe hobby, as the barrier to entry has all but disappeared. You can find many brands and different models of printers to suit a wide variety of hobbyists, varying widely in price and size. You can even pick up multicolor printers at reasonable prices as the new tech becomes more mainstream. Today's deal highlights a great bargain in Creality's Summer Mega Sale, where you can grab the K2 Combo 3D Printer and the included CFS multicolor system can be bought directly from Creality's online store for $499; that's the cheapest we've ever seen for this combo, and $48.99 cheaper than the same deal on Amazon.

● Check out this deal at Creality

The Creality K2 Combo is the smaller printer in Creality's K2 Plus and K2 Pro lineup of 3D printers. It still manages to provide a fully enclosed 260 x 260 x 260 mm print bed, which is an ample size for 3D printing, especially if you're a beginner and want to have the K2 placed on a nearby desktop. Further enhancing its in-office appeal are quiet step-servo motors on the X and Y axis, and dynamically balanced fans that keep the K2 running in a "Silent Mode" with noise levels around 45 dB. Meaning you can have this machine printing away in the same room as you without it causing a distraction.

This K2 3D printer comes in a Combo and includes Creality's CFS system, a 4-way multicolor filament-switching component. The CFS module is a powerful add-on that makes the K2 printer a much more enticing option for 3D printing hobbyists and professionals, and it can be combined together with up to four other CFS units for 16-color print projects if you're a professional working on larger 3D printing creations.

We haven't had the chance to review the Creality K2 Combo 3D printer, but we have reviewed its slightly bigger brother, the K2 Pro, back in December of 2025. With the K2 Pro commanding a high price, we were happy to see that the launch of the K2 Combo made the K2 lineup much more accessible for beginners to jump on board the 3D printing hobby train. With several price reductions since, and the current summer sales event happening on the Creality store, this $200 discount on the K2 Combo makes this 3D printer a very attractive prospect.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D is AMD's brand-new Ryzen 7 CPU, designed to slot neatly between the 7800X3D and the 7600X3D. While it's not a stellar offering as a standalone CPU upgrade, in this bundle featuring 16GB of DDR5 RAM for $16, it's a no-brainer as the perfect start to an AM5 gaming build.

Right now, you can get the 7700X3D at Newegg with an MSI Pro X870-P motherboard, 16GB of DDR5 G.Skill Ripjaws M5 (1x16GB), and a free Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240 CPU AIO for just $588, a $233 saving that gets you the RAM for basically nothing.

• Check out this deal on Newegg

While this bundle does limit you to single-channel RAM for the time being — it's just a single stick of 16GB DDR5 — it's an ample start for a mid-range gaming build in the current economy. If you really wanted, you could buy a second stick for the list price of $249, and get yourself 32GB of DDR5 for $265, which is much cheaper than the current going rate for RAM. If you factor in the free cooler, you're also saving another $80.

The 7700X3D can't match the more expensive 7800X3D or the hallowed 9800X3D, but as you can see from our testing, it can sustain average frames of 164fps in our 1080p gaming test suite, making it a great option for 1080p and 1440p gaming. This Zen 4 chip has 8 cores and 16 threads, and features 104MB of Cache.

That this bundle comes with a single stick of 16GB DDR5 6000 RAM is a small downside. It won't be as performant as two 8GB sticks, but it does leave you the option to upgrade to 32GB in the future, with timings of 36-36-36-76 and a black aluminum heat spreader. The M5 comes with addressable RGB lighting and support for both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0, the former being the pertinent one in this AM5 build. It's a small compromise that allows you to save a ton of money and get your hands on one of AMD's latest X3D processors for less.

The motherboard is MSI's Pro X870-P Wi-Fi board, which has a sleek aluminum look. The board supports up to 256GB of DDR5 RAM (four DIMM slots) for that aforementioned future upgrade, as well as Wi-Fi 7. It also has support for both PCIe 5.0 and 4.0 for M.2 SSD storage, and 5G LAN for super-fast networking.

The final cherry on top is Cooler Master's Elite Liquid 240 CPU AIO Cooler, a 240mm cooler that will keep your CPU temperatures down, giving you plenty of headroom for gaming. If you're looking to start a mid-range AM5 gaming build in 2026, you could do a lot worse than this bundle, which is one of the best we've seen in terms of RAM pricing in recent weeks.

You can save $1,000 on a truly high-end gaming laptop that, for many, is way over the top for the average user in both hardware and price. But if you want the most powerful laptop gaming setup, or a portable desktop replacement, then this Lenovo Legion 9i gaming laptop from B&H Photo, priced at $5,799, is something you should check out. It's certainly not your average gaming laptop, as it comes with the top-tier halo components from Intel and Nvidia, and is absolutely massive at 18 inches.

● Check out this deal at B&H Photo

Gaming laptops have always been more expensive than desktop gaming PCs with comparable components, even with the comparable components not being as powerful as their desktop counterparts due to the size, power, and heat limitations of stuffing hardware components into a smaller laptop chassis.

This model of the Lenovo Legion 9i contains the most powerful laptop graphics card available, Nvidia's RTX 5090 with 24GB of GDDR7 VRAM, and Intel's Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus 24-core processor, plus a massive 64GB of DDR5 RAM (2 x 32) with four RAM slots available, able to support up to 192GB of total RAM. For storage, there is a 2TB SSD, with Windows 11 Home edition pre-installed.

The luxurious 18-inch display features a detailed 3840 x 2400 resolution with a 3ms gray-to-gray response time. The display can reach up to 240Hz at native resolution and up to 440Hz when set to an FHD resolution. The display uses an IPS panel with 520 nits of brightness and a color gamut of 100% DCI-P3

The Lenovo Legion 9i also uses the latest Thunderbolt 5, WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and 2.5GbE Ethernet. The keyboard is fully RGB backlit with chiclet-style keys. This is a very powerful gaming laptop that you can also use for some serious creative work and go hard on some smaller local LLM models if you want to dabble with some AI workloads.

It is a very expensive laptop, made more costly by the price of RAM and NAND in the current economy. Still, it's also $1,000 cheaper than the usual price, so if this kind of laptop is something you're interested in, then head to B&H Photo and check out the RTX 5090-powered Legion 9i available for $5,799.

In addition to memory and storage, graphics cards continue to command a premium in the PC components market. While discounts are hard to come by, the XFX Quicksilver AMD Radeon RX 9070XT Gaming Edition is currently available at Newegg for $699.99, down from its regular listed price of $789.99. At $90 off, this is one of the better prices we've seen for an RX 9070 XT in recent months.

• Check out this deal on Newegg

The XFX Quicksilver RX 9070XT OC Gaming Edition features a minimalist all-black design which makes it perfect for black-themed PC builds. The cooling system on this GPU includes a nickel-plated copper cold plate, 3x double ball bearing fans, and 6mm heatpipes to offer the best thermal dissipation. Overall, it is quite beefy with its 3.5-slot design and includes a backplate for both improved rigidity and cooling.

The RX 9070 XT stands as AMD’s current-gen flagship GPU based on the RDNA 4 architecture. An excellent card for 1440p gaming, it is also capable of handling 4K gaming once you dial in the right settings. It features 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a 256-bit memory bus along with 4,906 stream processors, 64 compute units, and boost clock speeds of up to 2,970 MHz. It definitely has a place among the best graphics cards for gaming in 2026.

In our RX 9070 XT review, we found that the card delivered a solid generational uplift over AMD's previous-generation GPUs. While it may trail Nvidia in ray tracing tech, it manages to offer strong rasterization performance and a lower price than the RTX 5070 Ti making it one of the best value GPUs in its class.

At $699.99, the XFX Quicksilver RX 9070 XT Gaming Edition offers a meaningful discount over its regular asking price, and a highly recommended graphics card for anyone planning an upgrade. While it's still above AMD's original launch MSRP of $599, it is a notable improvement over the card's current typical street price.

With the state of the computer hardware industry in shambles, it's difficult to build a gaming PC with brand new parts today. Consoles that traditionally used to counter these dilemmas have fallen victim to the same crisis. In times like these, we have to look toward opportune deals, and we've found one you'll love — Thermaltake's View u2660T-170 prebuilt is on sale for just $1,177.99 on Woot right now if you use the code BESTOFPC at checkout. That's $622 off the list price for an RTX 5060 Ti-equipped rig.

• Check out this deal on Woot

When you click the link, the listing will be only $1,199 because you have to enter the code "BESTOFPC" at checkout to get an additional $22 off. As for the PC itself, it's a prebuilt but uses completely standard, off-the-shelf parts, starting with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF CPU. It's a 20-core processor that can boost up to 5.5 GHz, and it's a solid midrange performer across gaming and productivity.

For the GPU, you're getting Nvidia's RTX 5060 Ti, which is perfect for 1440p gaming across all sorts of titles. It's the base 8GB variant so it's not exactly the most future-proof thing, but with the help of DLSS and Nvidia's driver suite at large, you're going to get a lot of mileage out of this card. The card is fueled by a 650W 80+ Gold power supply, and Thermaltake is explicitly advertising clean cable management, too.

Paired with that hardware is 32GB of DDR5-6000 RGB RAM, which alone costs $400 in this economy. You also get a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD mounted on a standard B860 motherboard with Wi-Fi. The CPU is cooled down by a 240mm Thermtake AIO, and it's all enclosed in the company's View 170 case that comes with a bunch of ARGB fans.

We put as close of a configuration as possible to this inside PCParkPicker, and the resulting build cost $1,800, and that's without a Windows 11 copy that's included in this. Thermaltake is offering its View u2660T-170 prebuilt for as low as $1,179 on Woot right now, making it a no-brainer. Deals like this serve as an antidote to the component crisis, so grab it before it's out of stock!

It's that time of year when you need to start thinking about prepping for starting a new semester or heading off to college. One of the handiest items to get a hold of is a competent laptop computer for doing lots of your coursework on. If that same laptop also happens to be able to play games, well, that's a big bonus. Shaving a massive $900 off the list price, HP's HyperX Omen 16 gaming laptop is now just $1,099.99. That's a superb price for a laptop that packs an RTX 5060 mobile GPU and a crisp 16-inch 2K display.

● Check out this deal at HP

The HyperX Omen 16 packs some seriously good components for the price tag, as finding a capable RTX 5060 gaming laptop for near $1000 is a rarity in today's computer market. Inside the chassis of this model of the Omen 16 is an AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX processor, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 laptop GPU with 8GB of dedicated GDDR7 VRAM, 16GB of RAM, and a small 512GB SSD. The display measures 16 inches diagonally and has a crisp 2K (1920 x 1200) resolution with a max refresh rate of 165Hz and a 3ms gray-to-gray response time. The IPS panel has a micro-edge display, anti-glare, low blue light emissions, a brightness of 400 nits, and 100% sRGB for the color gamut.

We haven't had the opportunity to review this particular model of the HyperX Omen 16, so we can't fully use our Omen 16 review as a fair comparison. Our review unit used the much more powerful RTX 5080 GPU and Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU. The components that are included in this model, though, are very familiar, so we do have a good idea how they will run, and the chassis, screen, and features of the Omen 16 will overlap.

The RTX 5060 will be able to run games smoothly on the 16-inch 1920 x 1200 display, and will be able to make use of Nvidia's DLSS software to increase framerates for a smoother experience on more taxing titles.

So if you're looking for a competent laptop for heading back to school, you can't go far wrong with this $1,099 deal on the HyperX Omen 16 for both work and play.

If you're trying to build a gaming PC in 2026, you could be forgiven for just throwing in the towel. Pre-built PCs remain a consistent source of good value for gamers, and this CyberPowerPC offering at Newegg is one such deal. Right now you can score $460 off this Ryzen 7 9800X3D PC with RTX 5080, now just $2,829.

● Check out this deal at Newegg

Not only is this a nifty discount, but it's also the cheapest 9800X3D/5080 combo at Newegg from a reputable brand. This PC will make light work of any 4K title and set you up for years of future-proof PC gaming. The GPU alone in this rig is worth $1,300 right now.

As you can see from our testing data, the 9800X3D is one of the fastest gaming CPUs on the market and retains our crown as the best gaming CPU in 2026. This 8-core processor shines thanks to its generous 3D cache, which gets you much higher and more consistent frame rates compared to other CPUs, because it doesn't have to fall back on your PC's slower RAM as often.

As such, our testing registers absolutely blistering performance.

This is pretty much as good as it gets for a gaming CPU, and the powerhouse chip is complemented by Nvidia's hefty RTX 5080. This 16GB VRAM beast has 10,752 CUDA cores, capable of breezing through titles at 4K. As you can see, the 5080 is only overshadowed by the RTX 5090, which costs more than this entire PC.

Even in our 4K testing, the RTX 5080 is capable of sustaining 60 frames per second, and that's before you start using Nvidia's powerful DLSS suite of frame generation tools.

This potent one-two punch of CPU and GPU is well-supported by 32GB of DDR5 RAM, the sweet spot for AM5 gaming and a $400 commodity in today's market, as well as 2TB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage, offering ample space for your Steam library.

There's also a 1000W power supply, and the B850 motherboard offers Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and plenty of ports.

So if you want a buy-it-once-and-forget-about-it PC you won't have to upgrade for the next five years, this is a substantial saving on a really solid and capable rig. The cost of the CPU, memory, storage, and GPU alone is almost $2,500 if you were to buy these parts separately, so if you factor in the motherboard, cooler, case, PSU, and Windows 11, plus the convenience, this looks like a pretty good deal.

3D printing is an amazingly popular hobby, with printing technology getting better by the day. The main limits are your imagination and how you transfer your ideas to print. Creality's latest product offers a portable solution to capture your projects in great detail and then upload them to your printer software for production. The Creality Pika is available for pre-purchase at just $629. Grab a 10% discount of $70 for a limited period. This offer is only available for the next 19 days.

The Creality Pika is a portable 3D scanner that is pocket-sized for easy transportation and use. Measuring only 100 × 60 × 35 mm and weighing only 260 grams, this small scanner still packs a host of features.

View your scans on the 3-inch touchscreen, where the dual-optical 7-line blue laser captures fine details with 0.03 mm accuracy and a minimum scan volume of 10 × 10 × 10 mm. The Pika can even scan black and metallic surfaces without spray.

The Pika uses a Gaussian Splatting method to reproduce your scans, tracking textures, color, and spatial detail more realistically than some other older texture mapping methods. Once you have your scans, you can export them to STL, OBJ, PLY, and ASC for 3D printing and modeling.

Because of this scanner's size, you can take it anywhere. There's no need for a stand or static scanner. But if you're out in the field capturing your subjects without a mains power source - fear not - as the Pika comes with two hot-swappable 3,350 mAh batteries for uninterrupted scanning. Once your scans are complete, you can upload them using either USB 3.0 or a Wi‑Fi 6 connection.

The pricing troubles of the Steam Machine make it easy to think that budget gaming PCs are dead, but this incredible ABS gaming desktop I've just found might convince you otherwise. Right now at Walmart, you can grab this ABS Flux II Aqua with Intel Core i5 14400F, Intel Arc B580, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD for just $849. That's a $150 saving on the $999 list price, for a PC with parts worth well over $1,200 in today's market.

This PC features a Raptor Lake Refresh CPU worth $178, 32GB of Patriot DDR5 priced at $400, a $150 SSD, and a $309 GPU from Intel for unparalleled budget value. Fire those parts into PCPartPicker, and you'll see that, along with a motherboard, the cost is some $1,158 to build this rig yourself. And that's before you've added a CPU cooler, case, power supply, and Windows 11, all of which are included in this build.

Make no mistake, this is not a blistering gaming PC capable of 4K; there's no fancy X3D SKU or RTX 5080 inside. What you do get is a punchy budget CPU with a total of 10 cores, six performance and four efficiency, with 16 threads and boost clocks of up to 4.7 GHz. As you can see from our testing data, the 14400 can sustain 123 fps in our 1080p testing suite.

The Intel Arc B580 puts out respectable average benchmarks in our 1080p testing suite. Featuring 12GB of VRAM and 2560 cores, it's a great budget GPU capable of delivering an average of 80 fps in Assassin's Creed Mirage at 2560 x 1440 Ultra settings, better than the RTX 4060.

If you're looking for couch gaming on a budget, this might be the perfect Steam Machine alternative. When you consider that it gets you 512GB of SSD storage and 16GB of DDR5 RAM for $1,049, this $850 package for 1TB and 32GB, plus the aforementioned CPU and GPU combo, is really excellent value. Purely on the value of the parts contained alone, this gaming PC is honestly an absolute steal.

If you're in the hunt for a back-to-school gaming laptop, then look no further than this excellent Gigabyte Woot deal. Right now at Amazon's outlet, you can save 33% off the list price and get a 16-inch laptop with an Nvidia RTX 5070 for just $1,399, one of the cheapest 5070 laptops around.

• Grab this deal at Woot

For that, you get Nvidia's punchy mobile RTX 5070 GPU, 32GB of RAM for gaming and multitasking, 1TB of storage, and a nifty 2560 x 1600 WQXGA display. Given the current prices of RAM and storage, getting a laptop of this spec at this price is pretty much unheard of these days. We actually covered the HX 350 version of this laptop at $1,389 earlier this month. This deal gets you a snappier HX 370 CPU for just $10 more.

We've actually reviewed the aforementioned 350 version of this laptop, where we praised the Aero's excellent productivity performance, good battery life, and scope for upgradeability. However, it was let down by its display and performance given the price. At the $1,399 discount, however, it becomes a much more enticing prospect. As you can see, it sails past rivals in our battery test, scoring nearly an hour longer usage compared to its next-closest rival.

As you can see from our gaming benchmarks, the Aero X16 can easily deliver over 100 fps in Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 1080p, or 64 fps at its native 2560 x 1600. It's not the most potent gaming laptop on the market by any means, but it's one of the best-value options given the sub-$1,400 price point on offer here.

Our productivity testing is based on AMD's Ryzen AI 7 350 processor. This 8-core CPU delivered decent Geekbench 6 scores, so expect the 12-core 370 in this model to offer better performance still and also give gaming a much-needed boost, with 24 threads and boost clocks of up to 5.1 GHz.

The other specs of this laptop, notably the 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD, are also impressive. 32GB of DDR5 is worth nearly $400 these days, and that'll get you all the multitasking and performance you need for work and play. While this isn't an OLED laptop, the 2560 x 1600 display offers a refresh rate of up to 165Hz.

As the 'Aero' moniker suggests, the X16 is also thin and light. It measures just 0.65 inches in thickness and weighs 4.18 lbs, making it a very portable option. You'll also be pleased to know that the laptop can be upgraded in the future, with two SODIMM memory slots and two M.2 drive slots offering you headroom to add RAM or storage later in life.

Prebuilt gaming PCs are looking like better and better value as the price of individual components rises. This Skytech Gaming King 95 Desktop Gaming PC is only $1,399 at Walmart, with a cool $600.99 knocked off the $1,999.99 list price. This is pretty good value considering the specifications of the hardware inside. It's certainly not bleeding-edge, but at $1,399, you would struggle to build this system yourself from individual parts.

● Check out this deal at Walmart

Contained inside the Skytech Gaming King 95 Desktop Gaming PC is the AM5 powerhouse Ryzen 7 7800X3D gaming processor with its potent 3D V-Cache and 360mm ARGB AIO liquid cooler, an Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti graphics card with a large 16GB of VRAM, a 1TB SSD, and 32GB of DDR5 RAM.

This machine will excel at 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K gaming on the cards if you use the appropriate settings. The 16GB of VRAM and the use of DLSS 4 will help with beefing up the frame rates and rendering textures and shaders.

The 7800X3D is the last-generation AM5 king of gaming CPUs, replaced by the 9800X3D. Both processors have eight cores, with access to a large stacked 3D V-Cache. This cache improves latency massively by limiting how often the CPU has to fall back on the slower system RAM during gaming, delivering much higher and more consistent frame rates. Its performance is still comparable to the current X3D CPUs, as you can see from our hierarchy benchmark charts.

If you're looking for a competent gaming PC at a very reasonable price, then you can't go too wrong with this $1,399 deal on the Skytech Gaming King 95 gaming PC. The only obvious negative of this prebuilt PC is the RAM. The amount is great, but it's only DDR5-5200 MT/s, which is a little slow. But the performance of the PC won't be massively impacted. This is something you can't easily upgrade anymore due to the insane cost of RAM these days. Not a deal-breaker, but certainly something to consider when looking at this machine.

As hardware costs continue to rise, anyone looking to build a new PC should seek combo deals when available. Newegg has a couple of worthwhile combos out already, but this is one of the better ones we’ve seen. Just $490.98 (when using promo code PKC337 for an additional $49 off) buys you one of the better gaming chips around in the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D, a quality Asus B850 Gaming Plus Wi-Fi 6E motherboard, and 16GB (1x16GB) of G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 RAM, saving a whopping $194/~28% off if you bought the parts individually.

• Check out this deal on Newegg

In essence, this combo deal means you’re paying just $12 for 16GB of DDR5 RAM. And while it is a single stick of RAM in this deal, if you buy another at the $204.99 retail price, you can step up to 32GB and dual-channel for only $217. Considering the least expensive 32GB DDR5-6000 kit on Newegg is $395 right now, this is an incredible way to get into the AM5 platform and that 32GB-of-RAM sweet spot on the cheap.

While the 7700X3D isn’t quite as fast as the 9800X3D, the 8-core 16-thread Zen 4 processor is still one of the top gaming chips and is well ahead of the recently re-released (and expensive, $349.99 at Newegg) Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Performance-wise, the 7700X3D is squarely between the faster 7800X3D and slower 7600X3D, and it clearly holds its own among its peers and is a great 1080p/1440p gaming chip.

A single stick of G.Skill’s Flare X5 RAM is the weapon of choice in this combo. The 16GB stick is rated at DDR5-6000 CL36-36-36-96, which is in AMD’s sweet spot for the platform. The Flare X stick sports a black heatspreader and does not include RGB lighting. It pairs well with the Asus B850 motherboard, both in terms of compatibility and aesthetics. If you’re concerned about single-channel performance or 16GB isn’t enough for your uses, buy another at the retail price (so 32GB @ ~$217), and you still come out way ahead (saving $178) versus any other comparable 32GB kit available right now.

Last but not least, is the MSI B850 Gaming Plus Wi-Fi 6E. This ATX motherboard pairs well with the included processor and RAM, allowing you to get the last bit of performance out of the combo. There’s plenty of connectivity, including eight total USB ports on the rear IO (7x Type-A, 1x Type-C), fast networking with 2.5 GbE and integrated Wi-Fi 6E, and ample storage options with two M.2 sockets (one PCIe 5.0) and four SATA ports. The black-and-silver aesthetic also looks good with most build themes.

In all, this Newegg combo is certainly one of the better ones they have going. And while it is a single-channel package, even if you buy another matching stick, you still come out well ahead if buying a 2x16GB DDR5-6000 by itself. At just $490.98 when using the $49 off promo code (PKC337), this is a deal worth jumping on before it sells out.

There's no denying how good the build quality and construction of Apple's MacBook Pro lineup are. They are what every other high-end laptop manufacturer tries to emulate, which lets Apple charge a very high price for the privilege of owning one. If you're looking for a high-performance laptop for coding, video production, or even some light LLM/AI tasks, then this deal on the 14-inch Apple MacBook Pro with M5 chip for $2,699 is worth a look. B&H Photo has slashed $400 off the $3,099 list price to bring it down to this price, and give you the chance to pick up a powerful laptop with 48GB of memory.

● Check out this deal at B&H Photo

This 14-inch MacBook Pro uses the latest M5 Pro chip, with a 15-core CPU and 16-core GPU with a Neural Accelerator in each core, delivering amazing processing power in a small package. This model sports a hefty 48GB of unified RAM, a 1TB SSD for storage, and a crisp 3024 x 1964-pixel Liquid Retina XDR display (1600 nits peak HDR brightness), with superb battery life (up to 24 hours).

Other features include a 12MP Center Stage camera with Desk View support, an in-house N1 networking chip that combines Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, an SDXC Slot, Thunderbolt 5, and a MagSafe 3 connector.

We had the chance to review the MacBook Pro 14-Inch and found that the M5 chip delivers solid performance gains over its M4 predecessor. The SSD performance has greatly improved, and the rocking speaker system is still a cut above similar laptops from competitors. In our benchmark testing, the MacBook Pro's M5 CPU delivered between a 10 to 20% improvement over the prior generation's M4 chip in CPU performance.

If the price tag of $2,699 and 48GB of RAM are a little too high for your tastes, you can also pick up the same 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Pro chip, but with 24GB of RAM for $2,299, with the same hardware and features as our main deal.

The extremely popular Woot deal that scored new customers a Nintendo Switch 2 for just $399 has returned. Right now you can grab a brand new console for just $399 thanks to an extra $50 discount at checkout. If you've used Woot before, the same code (GIFT26) will get you an extra $22 off instead, making this the cheapest Switch 2 on the market right now.

• Check out this deal at Woot

Woot is Amazon's outlet website, so you'll often see refurbished or reconditioned items for sale. However, this is a deal on a brand-new console, making it an extra special (and rare) treat.

The Nintendo Switch 2 needs no introduction. First unveiled on June 5, 2025, the ultra-popular handheld features a 7.9-inch 1080p screen, also supporting gameplay at 4K up to 120 fps when docked with a TV. You also get Joy-Con 2 controllers, which can be used in a variety of modes.

Naturally, the big allure of the Switch 2 is access to Nintendo's delightful world of IP and first-party titles, including games like Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and, of course, games like Legend of Zelda.

More noteworthy than the Nintendo Switch 2's specs or games, however, is the price. Owing to the global AI pricing crunch that is driving up the cost of flash memory, Nintendo recently announced price hikes, bringing the MSRP of the console to $499, a $50 increase. Today's deal means you're not only avoiding that recent hike, but you're actually saving on the original $449 MSRP too. A $399 Nintendo Switch 2 will sell out fast, so don't hang around if you're interested. Even the $427 deal is the best Switch 2 for returning customers

The evolution of hardware has gotten to a point where tiny devices, such as mini-PCs, can offer excellent computing power in a small form factor. Kamrui, a specialist in mini-PCs, currently has the H1 and Hyper H2 for sale on Amazon. For a limited time, you can save up to 20% off these high-performance mini-PCs, which are also energy-efficient and designed to fit in even the smallest spaces.

• Check out the Kamrui H1 deal on Amazon
• Check out the Kamrui Hyper H2 deal on Amazon

The Kamrui H1 is a budget gaming mini-PC with a Ryzen 7 7735HS with integrated Radeon 680M graphics. The Zen 3+ chip rocks an octa-core, 16-thread configuration with a boost clock speed up to 4.75 GHz. Meanwhile, the Radeon 680M wields 12 RDNA 2 CUs that boost up to 2.2 GHz. The combination is perfect for eSports-grade titles and even some modern AAA games if you keep the resolution at 1080p (1920x1080) and use moderate to low graphics settings.

The mini-PC also has 16GB of LPDDR5-5500 memory and a 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD. The former is not upgradeable since it is soldered, but you can expand the latter with a larger SSD if you ever need it. The H1 offers great connectivity, including Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, and speedy USB ports.

The Hyper H2 leverages the Core i5-14500HX, a high-performance mobile chip with 14 cores, 20 threads, and a maximum boost clock of 4.9 GHz. While it is a beefier processor than the Ryzen 7 7735HS, it lacks the integrated graphics power to run games. Therefore, the Hyper H2 is more of a productivity mini-PC than a gaming one.

Kamrui pairs the Core i5-14500HX with 16GB of SO-DIMM DDR4 memory, enabling future upgrades. The mini-PC also features a fast 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD for storage. For connectivity, the Hyper H2 maintains the Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 features found in the H1. However, it’s important to note that while the H1 includes a high-speed 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port for wired networking, the Hyper H2 omits this feature.

The H1 and Hyper H2 from Kamrui are great mini-PCs tailored to different needs. Right now, both models are on sale at significant discounts on Amazon. The H1 and Hyper H2 are 13% and 25% off, respectively. That means you could save up to $60 on the H1 and up to $170 on the Hyper H2. These mini-PCs offer good value and features for anyone looking for a space-saving computer.

Building a gaming PC in 2026 is tough given the state of RAM and SSD pricing, but it's not impossible. If you want an AM5 gaming PC with the best gaming CPU on the market, look no further than this AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D bundle with 32GB of RAM, a B850 motherboard, and a 240mm AIO CPU cooler for just $1,039 at Newegg.

• Check out this deal on Newegg

That's a saving of $148 on the list price of these components at Newegg, but crucially, it's also more than $100 less than buying these parts separately at various retailers at their cheapest overall prices. As such, bundling these components will save you more than $100 on your gaming PC.

The star of this bundle is undoubtedly the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Despite not quite being the fastest gaming CPU on the market, this behemoth retains its crown as the best CPU for gaming in 2026 thanks to its blistering overall performance and more modest power draw compared to the 9850X3D. This 8-core, 16-thread processor is clocked at 4.7 GHz, with boost clocks of up to 5.2 GHz. With its coveted 3D v-cache and 96MB of LR capacity, this processor ensures much higher frame rates compared to non-X3D models, as you can see in our gaming benchmarks below.

The CPU really needs no introduction. Alongside it, you'll get the Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite Wi-Fi 7 Ice motherboard, which features support for up to four DDR5 8200 DIMMs and a total of 256GB of RAM. It also has a single M.2 PCIe 5.0 slot, as well as two PCIe 4.0 slots for SSD expansion. As the name suggests, it supports Wi-Fi 7, 2.5Gbps LAN, and 7.1 audio. It also has a myriad selection of ports, including USB 3.1, USB-C, and more. With 14+2+2 power staging and DIY friendly tools like EZ-Latch for M.2 and PCIe, this is a fantastic companion board to start your build, also featuring a striking white aesthetic.

The RAM in this build is Corsair's popular Vengeance 32GB 6000, the sweet spot for gaming on AM5 that will provide all the performance you need for gaming and multitasking. Unfortunately, it's the inflated prices of RAM that are driving up the cost of this build, making that $150 saving all the more important. Finally, you get a free gift: Cooler Master's Elite Liquid 240 CPU AIO. This dual-chamber pump has AM5 support and will fit the CPU no problem, keeping your CPU nice and cool during gaming and even providing some overclocking headroom.

As mentioned, this motherboard bundle is white, so perfect for an icy PC build. Of course, if you'd prefer a darker, stealthier look, an identical bundle with the black version of this board can be found at Newegg for $10 more, at $1,409. As you can see, the total cost of this build would be $1,187 if you bought the parts separately, even with the AIO costing just $39, and a $30 discount on the RAM.

Paired with the right GPU, this would make the perfect start for an AM5 gaming build that will chew through any gaming title at 1440p or even 4K, with the 9800X3D offering some of the best gaming potential of any CPU on the market.

This is the first time that I can recall seeing a discount on Logitech's latest gaming mouse. It's a mouse I've been keeping a close eye on, as the launch price has not only stayed extremely stable but is also super expensive for a gaming mouse, making it very off-putting for the majority of gamers. However, if you want one of these high-tech gaming mice, then today at Amazon, you can grab $54 off the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike, bringing it to $125.99. The $54 discount is automatically applied when you click through to the checkout. This is the lowest price the mouse has ever been on Amazon.

● Check out this deal at Amazon

The Superstrike’s standout feature is that it blurs the lines between the worlds of gaming keyboards and gaming mice. It's done away with the traditional analog mouse switch, and as a side effect, has removed mouse clicks. With the latest hall-effect tech beneath the left and right mouse buttons, click feedback is now produced by a haptic engine that Logitech calls H.I.T.S. (Haptic Inductive Trigger System). It combines tiny haptic motors with inductive sensors to create a customizable rapid-trigger system that can cut up to 30ms off your response times.

The Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike packs all the latest and greatest tech in a very familiar chassis. See our review of the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike for more details. Keeping the shape and size of previous Superlight mice. The G Pro X2 Superstrike weighs 61 grams and uses magnetic sensors with a haptic trigger system for the left and right mouse buttons. The sensor is the Logitech Hero 2 sensor, with a DPI of up to 44,000, 888 IPS, and 88 g-force acceleration. The wireless dongle supports a very fast, lag-free 8 kHz polling rate for the lowest latency possible. To use the adjustable H.I.T.S system to the full, you must use the Logitech G Hub software to alter and customize any mouse settings to your preference.

This is the cheapest I've ever seen this mouse, and having only been released in February of 2026, the $125.99 asking price for the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike makes it much more attractive.

If you’re interested in 3D printing and are looking to get a new entry-level 3D printer, now’s your chance to get into the hobby while saving money. The Creality K2 SE is currently on sale on Amazon, with its price dropping to just $248.99. This means you’re getting a $50 discount on this Creality device, cutting 17% off its original $299 selling price. This is one of the lowest prices for this basic unit in the past few months, but it’s only for a limited time, so you should check out the deal before it’s gone.

• Check out the Creality K2 SE 3D printer on Amazon.

The Creality K2 SE specs are better than the Ender 3 V3 SE found in our list of the best 3D printers because it offers a much faster print speed of 500 mm/s (versus the latter’s 250 mm/s) and is even compatible with the CFS for multi-color and multi-material printing. More importantly, this deal makes the K2 SE just $30 more expensive than the Ender 3 V3 SE’s MSRP of $219.00. So, if you can spare the extra dollars, you’ll get more supported filaments, a remote control, lighting kit, power loss recovery, and several other features to make your 3D printing projects run much more smoothly and efficiently. Unfortunately, we haven’t had the chance to look at the K2 SE yet, but its siblings, the K2 Plus and K2 Pro Combo, both received high marks from our reviews. While these units offer greater capability, they cost more than triple (or even quadruple) this 3D printer.

The K2 SE has a generous build volume of 220 x 215 x 245 mm, while its modular extruder ensures that you can easily service it during maintenance and printing. You can see this with its quick-swap nozzle, which the brand claims to be clog-free and could be quickly replaced as needed. And even though it’s an open-frame 3D printer, it features a sturdy metal build for greater stability, ensuring that it would deliver the best possible print quality. It also has a vibration sensor and input shaping algorithm, so that your 3D prints will look as smooth as possible.

Even though the K2 is a step-up over the Ender 3 V3 SE, it still lets you get started quickly with its 5-minute set up and included boot-up quick guide. This means that you don’t have to dive into complicated 3D printer assembly — you can just start churning out your 3D projects as soon as the K2 SE arrives on your doorstep. So, if that sounds like a good start to you, go ahead and get the Creality K2 SE for just $248.99. Remember, this is a limited deal, so you should buy it now if you’re really set on starting your 3D printing hobby today.

Thanks to the ongoing component crisis caused by the AI boom, it's a particularly difficult time to build a gaming PC. Despite ample supply, most parts are overpriced, forcing consumers to resort to patience or finding deals. We've done the latter and found an enticing AM4 bundle on Newegg consisting of a Ryzen 7 5800X3D, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and a feature-rich B550 motherboard — all for just $529.99 right now. You'll be saving over $100 in this combo compared to buying these items separately.

• Check out this deal on Newegg

The star of the show is the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, the CPU that kickstarted AMD's gaming dominance, as it was the first X3D chip the company ever made. Newegg is bundling the 10th Anniversary Edition here with a Carbide Ice Pad that you can use in place of thermal paste. The specs remain unchanged; it's an 8-core processor with 16 threads that can boost up to 4.5 GHz. It has a total cache of 100MB, 64MB of which is the extra L3 cache stacked atop the CCD, and a 105W TDP.

Then there's the motherboard, which is an Asus TUF Gaming B550-Plus Wi-Fi II. As the name suggests, it's a full-sized (ATX) AM4 motherboard using the B550 chipset. It features a robust 8+2 phase VRM for power delivery. There are four DDR4 RAM slots onboard, along with two M.2 slots, including one PCIe 4.0-capable. The board has Wi-Fi 6, 2.5 Gbps Ethernet, USB 3.2 Type-A and Type-C, and more in terms of connectivity. You also get 2x ARGB headers.

Finally, we have the RAM, which is by far the hardest component to source for a reasonable price these days. Thankfully, you're getting a solid kit from TeamGroup here: T-Force Delta RGB 16GB (8x2) DDR4-3200 running at CL16. This combination strikes a great balance for AM4, and since X3D chips rely more on their extra 3D V-Cache, even slightly slower RAM doesn't lose performance. Not to mention, this kit has some nice-looking RGB, too.

Newegg is bunding all of these parts together for just $529.99, but they'll cost you a lot more separately. We put the CPU, RAM, and motherboard on PCPartPicker and got a total of $629 before tax, which means you're saving about $100 by choosing this bundle. And it's not like these are bargain-bin components either, you're getting basically the best that DDR4 and AM4 have to offer, but without breaking the bank.

If you're headed back to school or college later this summer, or you're embarking on new study endeavours for the first time, then you might well be in the market for a powerhouse laptop that can tackle work and play with ease. This excellent HP Omen Max laptop is currently $1,100 off at Best Buy, netting you an RTX 5070 Ti GPU, 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX CPU, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD, all housed under a slick OLED display.

This laptop is not only fantastic for gaming, but the powerhouse Core Ultra 9 290HX is Intel's flagship laptop processor, with a massive 24 cores, including eight performance cores and 16 efficiency cores. That makes it great for all manner of productivity tasks, no matter what you're studying.

The HP Omen Max 16 laptop is a model we've reviewed, and we like its general premium feel thanks to its aluminum enclosure, good audio, and decent webcam. The headline here is that Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX CPU. This flagship Arrow Lake Refresh CPU features boost clocks of up to 5.5 GHz. Below is a selection of laptops we've tested running this CPU, and as you can see, it delivers very impressive Geekbench 6 scores.

That CPU is backed up by the punchy RTX 5070 Ti GPU. While it doesn't have the coveted 16GB of VRAM of the desktop variant, it does have 12GB, getting you more than the 8GB configurations you'll mind on the lower end of Nvidia's scale. This Blackwell GPU has 5,888 CUDA cores and should provide ample power at the laptop's native resolution of 2560 x 1600 at 240 Hz. That display is also really notable because it's an OLED panel, rather than IPS, offering much better contrast and response times for gaming and watching content.

Alongside the potent CPU and GPU combo, you get 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD. The former is crucial for multitasking and gaming, while the latter should be fine to get you started with a few Steam games and your studies.

As always with the Omen Max, you get two USB-A ports, two Thunderbolt 4 with USB-C, a 3.5mm headphone jack, an Ethernet port, and HDMI 2.1.

If you'd like to compromise a little, you could get a 5080 version of this laptop for a little more. Priced at $2,949 ($1,070 off), this model comes with a slightly less potent Core Ultra 9 275HX (still 24 cores), a 2TB SSD, and the aforementioned 5080. That gives you more storage and a better GPU for $150 more.

AMD's latest CPU release is out in the wild and currently has exclusivity with Newegg. So if you want to get your hands on one, it's going to be from the Egg for now, at least. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D was only recently announced at Computex 2026, slotting in between the 7600X3D and the 7800X3D in the product stack. But with a suggested retail price of $329, it's turning out not to be a great value for money compared with the prices of the existing 7600X3D and 7800X3D processors, that is, until the 7700X3D started appearing in Newegg's combo bundles. Today, you can pick up the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D along with the ASRock B650M Pro RS WiFi Micro ATX motherboard and 16GB of G.SKILL Flare X5 DDR5-6000 RAM for just $450 in this Newegg combo bundle.

● Check out this deal at Newegg

The 7700X3D has slightly lower boost clocks than its big brother, the 7800X3D, but it gives you the same eight Zen 4 cores and 104 MB of combined L2 and L3 cache. In this bundle, it works out as a much cheaper 7800X3D alternative, with only a slight drop in overall performance. When paired with the Micro ATX motherboard, this is a great start for a budget-oriented small-form-factor gaming PC.

You're saving a tidy $202.99 (31%) on the price of this combo bundle, thanks firstly to the $153.99 combo discount and then a further $49 when you use promo code PKC337 at checkout.

You can also pick up the new AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D separately for just $279.99, as Newegg has slapped the same $49 discount on the individual CPU. Use promo code PKC337 at checkout to apply the discount.

In our review of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D, we found the CPU to fit between the 7800X3D and 7600X3D, as expected. The 7700X3D shaves 200 MHz off the base clock and 500 MHz off the boost clock, but surprisingly performs closer to the 7600X3D, with only a 2% difference in average performance.

Just $450 for an AM5 7700X3D PC bundle that includes a competent gaming CPU, motherboard, and memory is good enough value, and the Micro ATX board means you could construct a small form factor build, or your own Steam Machine-type setup with superior parts. The big downside to this bundle is the single stick of RAM. It will, of course, still work, but you do take a slight performance hit from not using dual channels. However, you can always upgrade with an extra 16GB stick in future.

An awesome 3D printer could be yours for a brilliant price. One of our favorite 3D printers, the Bambu Lab P1S, is on sale for $399.99 right now. That price means you'll save $300 compared to its MSRP, scoring you a printer with a seriously decent spec sheet.

● Grab this deal at Bambu Lab's store

This is a good price for the P1S, but we'd be remiss if we didn't make it clear that it isn't a new development. We've seen Bambu Lab slash the cost of the P1S several times in recent months, so it isn't a price we're unfamiliar with. $399 is (so far) the floor for the P1S' price, and while we can't see it jumping back up to $699 any time soon, it doesn't negate what a great printer you're getting here.

If you're new to the 3D printing world, the Bambu Lab P1S should be on your radar. Compared to some of its more complex rivals, the P1S is easy to set up. This is a great all-rounder for beginners and pros, as our Bambu Lab P1S review explains, arriving semi-assembled and requiring only 15 minutes to get set up and running. It has a whole host of features designed to make it easy to use, too, including automatic bed leveling and easy-to-use presets that you can apply to your printing process in the slicer software, making it a more approachable option for novices.

You're getting a fully enclosed printing environment with the P1S, so it's a good option for prints that require high temperatures in the right climate. The build volume is 256 x 256 x 256 mm, a large bed size for a budget-focused printer, though you can find larger ones. The bed is made from a textured PEI spring steel sheet which, in our experience, makes it easier to remove your models once the print process is complete.

You're using one of Bambu Lab's proprietary 0.4mm nozzles as standard with this printer, which is attached to a direct drive extruder. An extruder like this one gives better pressure control while you're printing, which improves accuracy and avoids filament waste. You can print pretty quickly with the Bambu Lab P1S, too, as it's able to achieve a 20,000 mm/s² acceleration limit here.

Wireless connectivity comes as standard, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections offered. However, if you'd rather stick close to the printer, you can load models to print directly using the P1S' microSD card slot. The built-in LCD screen and control panel let you choose your desired print options and settings. You've also got a time-lapse camera that can help you watch (or rewatch) the whole print process from start to finish.

The P1S might have been replaced by its successor, the P2S, in our best 3D printer guide, but the OG is still a firm favorite, and its near-perfect review score still holds. The $399 sale price here makes it a serious option for someone looking to begin printing on a budget, especially as stock levels have fluctuated during sales events.

With the AI price crunch driving up the price of gaming laptops, good deals are harder and harder to find these days, but HP has just slashed $1,500 off this Omen Max 16-inch gaming laptop, getting you an AMD Ryzen 9 with an RTX 5080 for just $2,199. That's a 40% saving on the $3,699 MSRP.

● Check out this HP laptop deal

As you can imagine, the focus here is on the RTX 5080, a 16GB VRAM beast, which even in its mobile format will chew through any title at the 2,560 x 1,600 resolution the display offers. However, the rest of the specs are also noteworthy, including the 12-core AMD Ryzen 9 HX 375, 32GB of DDR5, and the 1TB SSD.

We haven't reviewed this exact spec of laptop, but we have tested the more potent RTX 5090 version of this model. As you can read in our HP Omen Max 16 laptop review, it's a little on the heavy side (5.99 lbs), but that's a trade-off for the premium look and feel of the aluminum enclosure. We also liked the excellent audio and sharp webcam.

Our testing data from other laptops shows the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 chip easily bests Snapgradon's X Elite and Intel's Core 7 Ultra 258V in Geekbench 6 scores. With a 5.1 GHz max boost clock, 24MB L3 cache, and 12 cores, this is a solid processor.

As mentioned, the headline feature is the RTX 5080. With 16GB of VRAM and 7680 CUDA Cores, it will easily run any game at 1080p or the laptop's native resolution of 2,560 x 1,600. That display is a 16-inch WQXGA IPS panel (so no OLED, sadly), with a 3ms response time and 500 nits of brightness.

You also get the coveted 32GB of DDR5 5600 RAM, as well as a 1TB Gen 4 M.2 SSD, plenty of storage for your Steam library. Other features include Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-FI 7, as well as battery fast charge, which gets you around 50% charge in just 30 minutes.

In terms of connectivity, the Omen Max features two USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and two USB-C ports. There are also a further two M.2 SSD expansion slots, so you can open it up and increase your storage with a bit of DIY tinkering in future.

To put the value of this deal into perspective, HP is also currently selling an Intel Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus version of this laptop. Although the processor is a little better, you only get a 5070 Ti with 12GB of VRAM, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, for $1,999. So for the extra $199, you're getting double the storage, double the RAM, and a 5080 instead of the 5070 Ti, which is a sizeable GPU performance jump.
