Heads up: AirPods Pro 3 earbuds just got a new price cut that beats all previous deals, including Black Friday. Amazon has lowered the price of the Apple AirPods Pro 3 earbuds to just $199.99 with free delivery. That's $20 lower than the Black Friday sale price, and a big drop compared to the retail price of $249. The AirPods Pro 3 is a solid upgrade and potentially a worthwhile purchase even if you already own a previous generation model.

AirPods Pro 3 Earbuds for $199.99 (New All-Time Low Price)

The AirPods Pro 3 launched on September 19 and is the newest generation AirPods Pro. Like its predecessor, this is easily the best earbuds for anyone who uses an iPhone. Although it looks pretty similar to the 2nd gen AirPods, there are some pretty significant improvements under the hood. The most notable new feature is the built-in heart rate sensing (which means you don't need an Apple Watch anymore), but the AirPods Pro 3 improves in other subtle ways as well, including better audio quality, better noise cancelation, long battery life, and a more weatherproof IP57 shell.

Released alongside the AirPods Pro 3 was Apple's "Live Translation", which is an Apple Intelligence feature that translates other languages on the fly. This isn't exclusive to the AirPods Pro since it can also be used with the 2nd gen AirPods Pro and the AirPods 4. First hand reports have been generally very positive, including this take from PCMag.

Joyroom 2,500mAh Portable Apple Watch Charger for $9.79

You no longer need to be near an outlet to charge your Apple Watch

If you need to buy a new Apple Watch charger, there's a better option than paying $29 for the official - but basic - charger. Amazon is currently offering the Joyroom Portable Apple Watch Charger that doubles as a 2,500mAh power bank for just $9.79 after you clip the coupon on the product page and apply coupon code "GJDNNUD8". Not only are you saving $20, you're also getting a charger that can keep your Apple Watch topped off even when there's no outlet nearby.

If you're looking for a capable 1080p gaming PC for about $1,000, you can't do much better than this deal. For this week only, Best Buy has the HP Omen 16 gaming PC with RTX 5060 Ti 16GB graphics card for just $1,099.99 shipped. This prebuilt will be able to run games at 60fps+ framerate in 1080p and even 1440p thanks to the 16GB of VRAM.

HP Omen 16 Gaming PC with RTX 5060 Ti 16GB for $1,099.99

The HP Omen 16 is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU is a 20-core processor with a max boost clock of 5.3GHz. It's a solid general-purpose CPU that combines a high clock speed for games and plenty of cores for for multi-core performance. For games at least, you won't see any improvement upgrading to a Core Ultra 9.

The RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is much better than the 8GB found in most other prebuilts

The RTX 5060 Ti graphics card comes in two variants, with the only difference between the two being the amount of VRAM: 8GB or 16GB. Unlike the vast majority of prebuilts which are equipped with the 8GB model, this particular system is equipped with the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB model. If you can afford it, you should only get the 16GB model. Numerous outlets have shown that the performance gap between the 8GB and 16GB models is huge.

The RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) is a great GPU for 1080p gaming. It outperforms the RTX 4060 Ti by about 20%, and the gap widens in games that support DLSS 4 technology with multi-frame generation. The 16GB of VRAM also allows this GPU to hold its own in 1440p gaming, especially if you don't want to spend the extra $200-$300 to upgrade to an RTX 5070.

Stock Up on a Four-Pack of 10 Feet 100W USB Type-C Cables for Just $13 on Amazon

USB Type-C has become the standard for charging and data cables alike. They can be used to charge nearly any device with a USB-C port, including your Nintendo Switch 2, Steam Deck, Legion Go, or ROG Ally, so it's good to have extra on hand. Here's an opportunity to pick up some lengthier cables at an excellent price.

Amazon is offering a four-pack of Basesailor 10ft 100W USB Type-C cables for just $13.39. To get this deal you'll need to add both the two pack of gray cables and a two pack of purple cables to your cart and apply coupon code "LUU2CPDS" during checkout. You're paying just $3.35 per cable. 10-foot USB-C cables typically go for about $15-20 each.

4-Pack of 10ft 100W USB Type-C Cables for $13.39

Must add BOTH of these cable packs to your cart and then apply code: "LUU2CPDS"

These cables have nearly 12,000 reviews on Amazon with an average 4.6 star rating. These cables are longer than your average length at 10 feet, which is super handy when your charging brick isn't conveniently close. For example, this is an ideal length for a charger that plugs directly into the wall, because chances are the outlet is down near the floor and a six foot cable may not be long enough. These cables are also rated for up to 100W of power delivery, which means they can be used to charge even the most high-powered of gaming handheld PCs and even most (non-gaming) laptops. They're encased in a braided nylon sheath for extra durability and aeshetics.

Lenovo is offering an excellent price on one of its highest end laptops to start off the new year. For a limited time, you can score a Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 gaming laptop, equipped with a 16" OLED display and RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,412.99 after you apply coupon code "EXTRAFIVE". That's over $1,100 off in total savings.

Lenovo Legion Pro 7 Gen 10 RTX 5080 Laptop for $2,412.99

Apply code: "EXTRAFIVE"

The Legion Pro 7 is Lenovo's highest end 16" gaming laptop, featuring a full metal chassis (both lid and body), gorgeous OLED display with 2.5K 189ppi resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, HDR 1000 True Black certification, and 100% DCI-P3 color range, and better cooling than the Legion 5 series of laptops. This particular configuration is equipped with a 16" 2560x1600 240Hz OLED display, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. This 2025 model has been updated with Wi-Fi 7. Connectivity options include a Thunderbolt 4 port with DisplayPort 2.1, a USB Type-C port with up to 100W of Power Delivery, three USB Type-A ports, an RJ45 ethernet port, and an HDMI 2.1 port. The 99Whr battery can charge to 70% in just 30 minutes.

The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX is a top performing CPU

The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor has 24 cores and a max turbo frequency of 5.4GHz. This is the second most powerful Intel mobile CPU currently available (the Ultra 9 285HX has a slightly higher clock speed) and goes toe to toe with AMD's flagship Ryzen 9 9955HX processor. This is an excellent CPU to pair with a powerful GPU like the 5080.

The GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU is better than the RTX 4090 mobile

The Legion Pro 7 laptop offers a robust cooling design that allows it to accomodate a more powerful GPU like the RTX 5080 without throttling it. That's important if you want to be able to play games comfortably on the display's enhanced 2560x1600 resolution. The RTX 5080 mobile GPU is roughly 15%-20% more powerful than the RTX 4080 mobile GPU that it replaces. In fact, it's slightly more powerful than the RTX 4090, which was the previous generation's flagship card. You should be able to run any game out there at consistent 60+ fps framerates.

Not everyone is the DIY type. If you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC, Dell is one of the best brands we'd recommend. Alienware desktops and laptops feature solid build quality, top-of-the-line gaming performance, excellent cooling (further improved on the newer models), aggressive styling, and pricing that is very competitive with other pre-built options. Best of all, there are plenty of sales that happen throughout the year, so it's not difficult to grab one of these computers at considerably less than their retail price.

Dell and Alienware Coupons

Alienware Aurora Gaming Laptop Deals

Alienware's newest mainstream gaming laptop is dubbed the "Alienware Aurora" and it replaces the previous generation's x16 and m16 series of laptops. It comes in two models: the 16 and 16X. The 16 is the more economical model, but gamers should definitely opt for the higher-end 16X model. If you're looking for build quality and performance on par with the previous generation m16, then the 16X is its spiritual successor. It features an anodized aluminum lid and base, a higher quality display, a more powerful CPU, and a GPU that isn't throttled for maximum gaming performance.

Alienware Aurora R16 Gaming PC Deals

The Aurora R16 is Alienware's bread and butter gaming PC. It can be equipped with an Nvidia RTX 5060 graphics card all the way up to an RTX 5080 and the prices for Cyber Monday are extremely competitive with other brands. For example, currently Alienware has the least expensive prebuilt RTX 5080 gaming PC that I've found anywhere. Most of these systems are customizable, however it's not difficult to upgrade your own RAM and storage yourself.

Alienware Area-51 Gaming PC Deals

If you're seeking the absolute best of the best in PC gaming performance, look no further. Dell unveiled the new Alienware Area-51 gaming PC at CES 2025. The chassis is a super-sized upgrade to the Aurora R16 system with aesthetic and cooling redesigns. The internal components have been refreshed with a new motherboard, faster RAM, and bigger power supply to accommodate the new generation of CPUs and GPUs. With a high-end system like this, it's only fitting that it be equipped with an RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 graphics card, so these are the configurations I've listed here. Note that Dell Outlet refurbished PCs come with the same warranty as buying new.

Alienware Area-51 Gaming Laptop Deals

Alienware 18 Area-51 (18")

Alienware 16 Area-51 (16")

The Area-51 is Alienware's new flagship gaming laptop for 2025. It features an anodized aluminum shell for both the lid and bottom chassis with a gorgeous iridescent finish. The frame is made of a durable and lightweight magnesium alloy. Cooling has been upgraded with generous amounts of copper and a new thermal interface material to better transfer heat away from your hottest components as well as more fans and bigger cutouts for greater airflow. Dell claims that the laptop can handle a higher power ceiling of up to 240W TDP without raising acoustics.

Design-wise, the Area 51 has a sleeker, more contoured shape compared to previous models, with rounded edges and soft corners replacing the traditional squared off design. The hinges are internally positioned so that they're near invisible. There's a transparent window on the undercarriage to show off the internal components. As befits an Alienware laptop, there's plenty of RGB illunimation, although most of it can be turned off if you want your laptop to be a bit more subtle.

The Massive 85" Samsung 4K Smart TV Drops to Just $699.99 with Free Delivery at Best Buy

When it comes to TVs, there's one simple rule I always tell people to abide by: get the biggest TV that can fit your space and is within your budget. I doubt very many people purchase a TV and regret it afterwards because it was "too big".

Nowadays, big TVs aren't even that expensive. For example, Best Buy is currently offering a massive 85" Samsung U7900 4K Smart TV for just $699.99 with free delivery. That's the lowest price I've ever seen for a Samsung TV of this size.

85" Samsung U7900 4K Smart TV for $699.99

This entry level 2025 Samsung TV offers a standard set of features in exchange for a rock bottom price. What you're getting is a native 4K TV that offers solid image quality with full array LED backlighting, HDR10+ support, and a 60Hz refresh rate with Motion Xcelerator technology that should satisfy most TV watchers. It has built-in speakers, two HDMI inputs for hooking up your gaming console or soundbar speaker, and Samsung's proprietary Tizen smart interface.

The Samsung U7900 Pairs Well With the Nintendo Switch 2

This TV is actually a great choice to pair with the Switch 2. When in docked mode, the new Switch 2 is able to run games at 4K resolution, however only at a maximum of 60fps. That means you only need a 60Hz refresh rate to maximize the Switch 2's 4K potential, which this TV supports.

This 48x20 Workbench Features a Solid Wood Desktop and Steel Frame for About $100

You can easily find a serviceable desk or workbench for about $100 just by heading over to your nearest Ikea store. But if you insist on solid wood instead of a fiberboard or particleboard surface, then your options become more limited. Fortunately, there's one available at Amazon right now. For a limited time, you can get this 48"x20" adjustable height workbench - featuring a solid rubberwood desktop and steel frame - for just $105.99 with free delivery. Seeing as how the other options on the product page cost well over $200, this looks like a pretty fantastic deal.

48"x20" Workbench With Solid Wood Desktop for $105.99

The highlight feature of the "Enjoywood" workbench is most certainly the desktop, which is a finished butcher-block style rubberwood that measures 48" long, 20" wide, and 1.25" thick. Rubberwood is a hardwood with a hardness rating similar to cherry and walnut. The tabletop is completely solid, meaning there's no particleboard, fiberboard, or carboard interior. The desk sits atop a steel frame and four tubular legs that support a maximum load limit of 2,500 pounds, which is pretty impressive. The average standing desk, for example, supports less than 300 pounds. Additional quality of life features include a 4-outlet power strip that's integrated into the frame, pegboard mounting holes, and leveling feet.

Sure it's marketed as a workbench, but there's nothing stopping you from converting it into an industrial looking desk, except maybe for the fact that it's taller than your standard desk. Desks are typically 27" to 30" tall and this workbench is adjustable in height from 31.5" to 39.4", so you'll need a taller chair to compensate (or potentially remove the feet).

If you need to buy a new Apple Watch charger, there's a better option than paying $29 for the official - but basic - charger. Amazon is currently offering the Joyroom Portable Apple Watch Charger that doubles as a 2,500mAh power bank for just $9.79 after you clip the coupon on the product page and apply coupon code "GJDNNUD8". Not only are you saving $20, you're also getting a charger that can keep your Apple Watch topped off even when there's no outlet nearby.

Joyroom 2,500mAh Portable Apple Watch Charger for $9.79

You no longer need to be near an outlet to charge your Apple Watch

The Joyroom charger works similarly to the official Apple charger. Like the official charger, you plug the Joyroom charger into an available USB Type-C port. Then you simply set your Apple Watch on the base without having to plug anything in. The Watch magnetically attaches and starts charging wirelessly. However, that's where the similarities end.

The Joyroom has a built-in 2,500mAh battery that allows you to charge your Apple Watch even when no outlet is readily available. It also happens to be one of the largest capacities I've seen for a portable watch charger (most are 1,000 to 2,000mAh). The battery is good for about three to four watch charges. When not in use, the cable can be looped to create an unobstrusive lanyard. There's even a display that shows remaining battery charge.

Although the Joyroom is designed for an Apple Watch, it can charge other MagSafe products like the AirPods Pro 2. The USB Type-C cable can also be used to charge your iPhone 15, 16, or 17 in a pinch.

The Lenovo LOQ RTX 5060 Gaming PC Drops to $799.99, Great Budget 1080p Option

Shopping around for a budget PC under $1,000? Best Buy has one deal available right now that matches the best deal I saw during Black Friday. For this week only, the Lenovo LOQ gaming PC with GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card drops to just $799.99 shipped. Despite the low price tag, this PC is still more powerful than the upcoming Steam PC and will get you a consistent 60fps on just about any game at 1080p resolution.

Lenovo LOQ RTX 5060 Gaming PC for $799.99

The Lenovo LOQ gaming PC is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX CPU, GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX is an 8-core, 16-thread processor with a max boost clock of 5.1GHz. It's a solid general-purpose CPU that complements the RTX 5060 GPU. 16GB of RAM is more than sufficient for any gaming scenario, and fortunately the recent price surge in DRAM hasn't affected the price of this prebuilt.

The RTX 5060 outperforms its predecessor the RTX 4060 by about 20%-30% and that's before factoring in DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation. This is a solid budget option for 1080p gaming and you should be able to squeeze consistent 60fps+ framerate out of just about any game. If you're gunning for higher resolutions like 1440p or 4K, however, you'll definitely want to upgrade to an RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) or better.

On a side note, this is a considerably more powerful computer than the upcoming Steam Machine, which is reported to feature a custom GPU equivalent to the Radeon RX 7600M. Granted we still don't know how much the Steam Machine will cost now, but unless it comes it at under $700, this prebuilt is most likely the better value.

If you're trying to get healthier this year as one of your New Years resolutions, an Apple Watch would be a great tool to help you achieve your goal. Fortunately, the newest generation Apple Watch Series 11 is back on sale to kickstart the new year. Amazon is taking $100 off most colors and styles, starting at just $299 for the 42mm size and $329 for the 46mm size. This beats the lowest price during Black Friday and is a small price to pay for getting your health back on track.

Apple Watch Series 11 for $299 ($100 Off)

The Apple Watch is indisputably the best smartwatch for iOS users. It's stylish, boasts excellent build quality, and seamlessly integrates with your iPhone. It's loaded with tons of practical health and fitness features, including activity tracking and heart rate monitoring. The stats from your workouts are automatically recorded and stored onto your iPhone so that you can track your progress through the course of the year.

New to the current generation model specifically are (1) the Apple Intelligence powered "Workout Buddy" that motivates you during exercise, (2) hypertension notifications, and (3) a sleep score that measures the quality of your sleep. Hardware updates include a brighter and more scratch resistant display, 33% longer battery life, and 5G cellular connectivity.

Can you use an Apple Watch with Android phones?

Although it's technically possible to use an Apple Watch with an Android phone, we wouldn't recommend it. Apple made it so that a lot of the functionality of the Apple Watch requires a smartphone with an iOS operating system. There are some workarounds to implement some of the features, but for the average person, the hassle isn't worth it. If you're absolutely intent on getting an Apple Watch, then getting an iPhone first would be the best option.

Switch 2 owners, if there's one upgrade you'll absolutely need, it's additional storage. The Switch 2 only has 256GB of onboard storage, and chances are you'll run out of space down the road. Fortunately, Amazon just lowered the price of the 256GB Samsung P9 MicroSD Express card, which will double your available storage, to just $34.99. This matches the best deal that I saw during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. You don't have to worry about performance, either. We recently reviewed this exact card and strongly recommend it.

256GB Samsung P9 MicroSD Express Memory Card

Nintendo Switch 2 compatible

As you should already know, the Switch 2 console will only accept MicroSD Express cards. If you have a standard MicroSD card from your previous Switch, you sadly won't be able to use it to store games in the Switch 2. Although the two might look similar, MicroSD Express cards are much, much faster than their precedessors, with speeds of up to 800MB/s. MicroSD cards, on the other hand, cap out at well under 200MB/s.

This Samsung P9 Express is guaranteed to be compatible with your Switch 2 console. In fact, Samsung is the company that manufactures Nintendo's official Switch 2 memory card. It's very likely these two cards are identical.

If you're seeking the absolute best of the best in PC gaming performance, look no further than Alienware's flagship Area-51 gaming PC equipped with a GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card. To kick off the new year, Dell has discounted the Ryzen Edition model for the first time ever. More specifically, the Alienware Area-51 gaming PC equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU and RTX 5090 GPU is available for $5,049.99 shipped after a $550 instant discount.

Alienware Area-51 Ryzen Edition RTX 5090 Gaming PC

The Alienware Area-51 is Dell's flagship gaming PC. Unveiled during last year's CES, the Area-51 is a super-sized upgrade to the mainstream Aurora R16 system. The significantly larger chassis features more premium build quality and a redesigned cooling system with greater net airflow. In fact, this is the only model that Dell feels comfortable enough to equip with the hot and power hungry GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card. The first wave of Area-51 systems featured Intel CPUs exclusively, with AMD X3D options only available since late November.

This particular configuration is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card, 32GB or DDR5-6400MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Additional system details include a 360mm all-in-one liquid cooling system for the CPU and a massive 1,500W 80Plus Platinum power supply that allows plenty of headroom for future upgrades.

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the best gaming CPU for most people

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is considered to be the best gaming processor currently on the market and outperforms any Intel or AMD non-X3D chip in games thanks to AMD's 3D-V-Cache technology.

Although the 9800X3D is an absolute speed demon for gaming, it only has eight cores. If you regularly use your PC for non-gaming applications that benefit from as many cores as possible, then you can upgrade to an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D 16-core processor, which doubles the core count while offering similar gaming performance, for an additional $300.

The RTX 5090 is the most powerful graphics card ever

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has emerged as the most powerful consumer GPU on the market. Although with this generation Nvidia has prioritized software updates, AI features, and DLSS 4 technology to improve gameplay performance, the 5090 still boasts an impressive 25%-30% uplift over the RTX 4090 in hardware-based raster performance. If you want the absolute best performance for your gaming PC, there is literally no other option from any other brand.

Our Favorite Nintendo Switch 2 Slim Case Drops to a New Lowest Price Ever

The Tomtoc Slim is one of the best compact Nintendo Switch 2 cases you can get and it's on sale today. Amazon has it in your choice of several colors starting at just $24.99 after up to 32% off in savings. The gray and matcha green models in particular are less expensive than what I saw during Black Friday. It's also a much better deal than the official Nintendo Switch 2 case which currently sells for $39.99 and, in our opinion, has lower overall build quality.

Tomtoc Slim Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case for $24.99

Tomtoc has a history of making great cases for mobile electronics, including most current gaming handhelds like the original Switch and Switch Lite, Steam Deck, and Asus ROG Ally. Its signature trademark is the raised indent patterning for each handheld's analog joystick and button layout. This is mostly an aesthetic touch, but it helps set Tomtoc cases apart.

Material-wise, the Tomtoc is a molded hard shell case with a felt inner lining. It has an interior flap that can fit up to 12 game cards, a buckle strap, and durable YKK zipper that's smoother and easier to use than the Genki Sleeper case. Note that since this is a slim case with as minimal of a footprint as possible, there's no room to fit a charger.

Need something bigger?

If you're looking for something roomier, Tomtoc also has a sling-style case that's specifically made for portable gaming handhelds including the Switch 2. The padded compartment is shaped like a "W" to make room for a wide range of handhelds that have dual analog joysticks. It's not specifically designed for the Switch 2, so don't expect a molded fit, but there's plenty of room here to fit extra controllers, a charger or power bank, and more.

Kickstart Your New Years Cleaning Resolution With This $20 Cordless Electric Air Duster

Give your desk area a good cleaning as part of your New Years resolutions. Compressed air canisters used to be the standard but nowadays electric air dusters have taken over as a more convenient and less expensive option. Amazon is currently offering the JVSCAM Cordless Rechargeable Electric Air Duster for just $19.98 after coupon code "4OIDBVTT". Normally this deal is reserved for Amazon Prime members, but this time is available for everyone.

JVSCAM Cordless Electric Air Duster for PC for $19.99

The JVSCAM cordless rechargeable electric air duster is a fairly straightforward device. An internal fan spins at up to 130,000RPM to move an appreciable amount of air. A nozzle funnels the air into a tight, high-velocity stream that's more than strong enough to kick up layers of dust that's been sitting on top of your computer components. It has three speed settings, although I would recommend keeping it at the max speed for optimal results. You also get four different sized nozzles, including a narrow funnel for tight spaces like between your keyboard's keys, and a wider nozzle for AoE damage.

The best thing about an electric duster as opposed to a compressed air canister is that it isn't disposable. It's rechargeable via the included USB-C cable, and its battery lasts more than long enough for your PC maintenance. And that's not all it's good for; I use a similar duster for other tasks, including cleaning out my coffee grinder and blowing leaves off the car.

You might want to jump on a PC upgrade sooner than later. Prices of prebuilts are expected to go up this year because of the inflated demand for DDR5 RAM and production cuts on Nvidia's graphics cards.

For this week only, Best Buy just dropped the price on the powerful iBuypower Y40 Pro gaming PC, equipped with an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X processor and RTX 5080 graphics card, to just $2,109.99 shipped. Although this system was a bit cheaper during Black Friday, it's currently the lowest price I can find for a prebuilt RTX 5080 gaming PC.

iBuypower Y40 Pro RTX 5080 Gaming PC for $2,110

The iBuypower Y40 Pro is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X processor, GeForce RTX 5080 16GB graphics card, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 2TB PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X CPU has a max turbo frequency of 5.6GHz with 12 cores, 24 threads, and a 64MB L2 cache. In terms of gaming performance, this CPU is comparable to the Intel Core i7-14700K according to Passmark benchmarks. With a high clock speed and a decent number of cores, this is a great CPU for both gaming and productivity and is a good complement to the RTX 5080 GPU.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K

Performance-wise, the RTX 5080 is no slouch. It's one of the fastest cards on the market, bested only by the $2,000 RTX 5090 and the discontinued $1,600 RTX 4090. This is a phenomenal card for playing the latest, most demanding games in 4K resolution at high settings and ray tracing enabled. The RTX 5080 supports DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, which means you can push even more frames out of games that support the technology with minimal visual compromise. Recent games that support it include Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Borderlands 4, Stellar Blade, and Battlefield 6. Check out our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review for our hands-on impressions.

Iniu 10,000mAh 45W Power Bank for $11.21

  • Nintendo Switch (16Whr) about 1.9 times

  • Steam Deck (40Whr) about 0.74 times
  • Apple iPhone 17 (14Whr) about 2.1 times

The 45W of Power Delivery is enough to charge the Nintendo Switch (18W) and Steam Deck (40W) at their fastest rate. This power bank is also a good match with the Apple iPhone 17, since ChargerLAB has shown that the charging rate caps at about 30W for the iPhone 17 and 37W for the iPhone 17 Pro.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, 5070, and 5060 Ti Graphics Cards Are Still at MSRP, But for How Long?

The short-term outlook doesn't bode well with regards to GPU pricing. PCMag and other outlets have reported that Nvidia may cut back production on its consumer graphics cards by up to 30%-40% due to the demand of DRAM and Nvidia's shift in focus to supplying AI data centers. As a result of the dwindling supply, GPU prices are expected to rise in 2026.

Fortunately if you're thinking of upgrading your PC right now, it's not too late to get a current generation GeForce graphics card at retail pricing. Select variants of the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5070, and RTX 5060 Ti 16GB graphics cards are currently available at Walmart and Amazon without any markup, but who knows for how long.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Graphics Card for $549

The RTX 5070 performs on par with the previous generation RTX 4070 Super - which was already an excellent card for 1080p and 1440p gaming - but with DLSS4 and multi-frame generation. It's equipped with 12GB of GDDR7 VRAM which allows it to keep up with high-fps gaming at 1440p. You'll even be able to play less demanding games at 4K as well, although you'll see a significant performance uplift upgrading to the 5070 Ti at that point.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB Graphics Card for $449.99

There are two RTX 5060 Ti variants floating around with the only difference being the amount of VRAM, either 8GB or 16GB. If you can afford it, you should only get the 16GB model. Numerous outlets have shown that the performance gap between the 8GB and 16GB models is huge. The model I've linked to above is a 16GB model, which is an excellent option for 1080p gaming. It outperforms the RTX 4060 Ti by about 20% and the RTX 3060 Ti by 40% and that's without DLSS4.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Graphics Card for $749

The RTX 5070 Ti GPU Is Our Best Reviewed Nvidia Blackwell GPU

It excels at 4K gaming performance at a reasonable price point

Of all the Blackwell cards released thus far, the RTX 5070 Ti offers the best value for high-fps 4K gaming. It performs neck-and-neck with the RTX 4080 Super but with the added bonus of newer GDDR7 VRAM and DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation. If you plan on using this card for AI, the RTX 5070 Ti is a better value than the RTX 5080 since both have same amount of RAM (16GB). Compared to AMD, the RTX 5070 Ti is roughly comparable in raw performance to the AMD RX 9070 XT, but the 5070 Ti has considerably better upscaling technology and ray tracing performance.

The Samsung S90 4K QD-OLED TV Is on Sale Just in Time for the NFL Playoff Season

5 janvier 2026 à 18:20

Week 18 of the NFL regular season ended after that Ravens/Steelers banger and the playoffs kick off this coming weekend. Instead of paying for expensive tickets and fighting the crowds, why not put that money into a big, gorgeous TV set so you can watch from the comfort of your home. If you've missed out on all of the (now expired) OLED TV deals during Black Friday, here's a new deal that just popped up and runs for this week only.

Woot, which is owned by Amazon, is offering a 65" Samsung S90D 4K OLED Smart TV for just $1,079.99 or a 77" model for $1,497.99. Both TVs cost only $5 to ship, although Amazon Prime members can get free delivery. These are brand new TVs with a 1 year Samsung warranty. The S90D is one of Samsung's more premium OLED TVs featuring a quantum dot OLED panel for brighter, richer colors. It's comparable to LG's C-series OLED TVs.

Samsung S90D 4K OLED TVs on Sale at Woot!

OLED TVs feature best-in-class image quality thanks to their near-infinite black level, near-infinite contrast ratio, and near-instantaneous response time. For most use cases, there isn't a better TV that you can get for the same price.

The S90D is Samsung's 2024 S90 series TV. This is a higher end model that's equipped with a quantum dot (QD) OLED panel, which is brighter and boasts a wider color gamut than traditional W-OLED panels like Samsung's lower end S85 series. It is a slightly older model than the current generation Samsung S90F that was released in 2025, but that TV currently costs $500 more and image quality is practically identical.

OLED qualities aside, the Samsung S90D also has all the features you'd want in a gaming TV. It has a native 120Hz panel that can be pushed to as high as 144Hz as well as four total HDMI 2.1 ports for running 4K at 120Hz on a PS5 or Xbox Series X gaming console. The S90D also supports variable refresh rate and auto low latency mode

Is this a good TV for the Nintendo Switch 2?

Despite being a current generation console, the Nintendo Switch 2 has lax TV requirements compared to the PS5 or Xbox Series X. When the Switch is connected to its dock and a television, it is only capable of outputting a 4K resolution signal at up to 60 frames per second. It can go up to 120fps if the resolution drops to 1080p, but the data rate required for both these options is pretty much the same. Oddly, it doesn’t even get VRR when docked – that’s reserved for handheld mode only. The Switch 2 console, however, will still benefit greatly from the Samsung's gorgeous OLED panel.
