The Lenovo Legion Tower 7 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Drops Below $2,000

2 décembre 2025 à 21:20

Post Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Lenovo continues to dish out great deals on its Legion gaming lineup thanks to some coupon codes that are still live. For example, you can pick up this Legion Tower 7 RTX 5080 gaming PC for just $1,979.99 after you stack two coupon codes: "EXTRAFIVE" and "LENOVOHOLIDEAL". If you're looking for a future-proof system, this PC is powerful enough to set you up for high-fps 4K gaming for years to come.

Lenovo Legion Tower 7 RTX 5080 Gaming PC for $1,980

The Legion Tower 7 is Lenovo's top-end desktop computer, boasting a well-ventilated chassis with a mesh front panel housing six total 120mm fans and a 850W 80Plus Gold power supply. Lenovo uses non-proprietary parts and the chassis offers toolless entry, so it's pretty easy to go in and upgrade the memory and storage capacity yourself.

This particular configuration features an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor, GeForce RTX 5080 16GB graphics card, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz of RAM, and a 2TB PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K is a 20-core CPU with a max turbo frequency of 5.5GHz. It's a great gaming chip and you'll find no (gaming) uplift moving to a Core 9 CPU. It's cooled by a robust 360mm all-in-one liquid cooling system.

The RTX 5080 is the second best Blackwell graphics card, surpassed only by the $2,000 RTX 5090. It's about 5%-10% faster than the previous generation RTX 4080 Super, which is discontinued and no longer available. In games that support DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation exclusive to Blackwell cards, the gap widens. This is an outstanding card for playing even the latest games at 4K resolution with high settings and ray tracing enabled. Read more in our RTX 5080 GPU review.

Why Choose Lenovo?

Lenovo Legion gaming PCs and laptops generally feature better build quality than what you'd find from other prebuilt PCs. For desktop PCs in particular, people like the fact that Lenovo does not use proprietary components in its computer systems, so they're easier to upgrade with off-the-shelf parts. Although we haven't yet reviewed the new 2025 models, we have reviewed last year's Legion 7 desktop and really liked its build quality and performance.

This Lenovo Legion Go S Handheld Gaming PC Deal Is Still Available Past Cyber Monday

2 décembre 2025 à 20:30

The Lenovo Legion Go S was on sale for most of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This was far and away the best deal I saw on any handheld gaming PC. Fortunately, the deal is still available for just a little while longer. Lenovo is currently offering the Legion Go S Ryzen Z2 Go SteamOS handheld for $449.99 with free delivery after a $200 off instant discount. I'm not sure how long this deal will last, but once it's gone, it won't come back at least for 2025.

$200 Off Lenovo Legion Go S Z2 Go SteamOS Edition

This particular Lenovo Legion Go S is equipped with an AMD Ryzen Z2 Go processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB storage capacity, and it runs off SteamOS instead of Windows. The Z2 Go processor is a bit more powerful than the Steam Deck's custom APU, which means you'll get a little better performance out of it. Graphics also look sharper with more fluid movement, thanks to a bigger 8" 1200p display with a higher 120Hz refresh rate. The Legion Go S also supports a much higher maximum charging rate (up to 100W vs 40W for the Steam Deck).

At the current sale price of $449, it's $100 cheaper than the closest Steam Deck configuration, which has also has 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for $549. The Steam Deck does come with an OLED display, but I'd personally prefer a bigger, higher resolution, higher refresh rate display.

Only One Nintendo Switch 2 Memory Card Deal Is Still Discounted, You'll Need It Eventually

2 décembre 2025 à 19:40

Are you one of the lucky deal hunters who score the Ninteno Switch 2 Cyber Monday console deal (if you haven't, it's still available)? Have you been holding off on a memory card upgrade until prices have dropped? If you answered "yes" to both questions, then you, my fellow Nintendo gamer, are in luck.

On Black Friday and Cyber Monday, a couple of Switch 2 compatible MicroSD Express cards went up for sale. Most of these deals are now expired, save for the most popular one. Amazon is still offering the 512GB Samsung P9 MicroSD Express card for $74.99. This is still the best price I've seen to date for a 512GB Switch 2 memory card and you should get it now before it expires. You'll probably need to expand your storage down the road anyway, so you might as well do it while it's on sale. It would also make an excellent gift idea for any Switch 2 owner.

Samsung P9 MicroSD Express Memory Cards

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. Most MicroSD cards cap out at well under 200MB/s.

Is the Nintendo Switch 2 console on sale for Black Friday?

YES! For Cyber Monday, Amazon and Walmart dropped the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World console bundle by $50 from $499 to $449. This was completely unexpected and, best of all, it's still available right now. If you're been eyeing this console, you should get it quickly before it goes back up in price.

Sonos Continues Its Cyber Sale With 25% Off Select Recertified Soundbars, Speakers, and Subs

2 décembre 2025 à 21:20

Black Friday and Cyber Monday may be over, but Sonos has decided to continue the deals extravaganza with a new 48-hour Cyber Sale. For Tuesday and Wednesday, you can score some new discounts on select certified refurbished soundbars, speakers, and subs. Sonos refurbished products come like new, in pristine packaging with all the original accessories. They even come with the same one year warranty as a brand new product.

Sonos Era 100 Smart Speaker

The Sonos Era 100 retails for $219 new, but you can pick up a certified refurbished model for just $134. This is Sonos' most popular and most versatile speaker. Despite its compact size, the Era 100 houses two tweeters, a mid-woofer, and three class-D digital amplifiers to produce precise, distortion-free audio even at high volumes. It has a built-in microphone for smart functionality. Because of its flexibility, it's often paired with a sound bar or a second Era speaker.

Sonos Arc Soundbar

Sonos doesn't discount its flagship Arc lineup of speakers very often, so it's a wise investment to jump on a good sale when you see one. The Sonos Arc was discontinued last year to make way for its successor, the Arc Ultra. The release of the Arc Ultra doesn't make the Arc any less of an outstanding speaker. It's a better value than picking up the Arc Ultra, currently not on sale for $1,100.

The 45" soundbar houses eleven precisely engineered internal speakers, including three tweeters and eight midwoofers each paired with Class-D amplifiers. It's capable of room filling audio by itself, but you'd still benefit from a separate subwoofer to round out the low end. Unlike the Sonos Beam, which only has virtual height channels, the Arc has two physical height channels for true Dolby Atmos support. The Arc also has a built-in microphone.

Sonos Beam (Gen 2) Soundbar

The Sonos Beam is a great option for someone who requires a more compact sound bar or simply doesn't want to spend too much money on a speaker system. It's attractively priced right now at just $299, so $100 less than the Arc. The Beam (Gen 2) is a 26-inch long, 5.0-channel soundbar with one tweeter and four mid-woofers for natural, balanced sound and four passive radiators to help with the low end. Although the Beam doesn't have physical height channels, it has two virtual height channels for Dolby Atmos support. There's also a built-in microphone for smart functionality.

Sonos Sub 3 Subwoofer

The audio savvy knows that a single speaker isn't enough to reproduce an entire soundstage. If you could pick only one other speaker to supplement your existing one, then a subwoofer would make the most meaningful impact. If you want to add ground-shaking bass to your Sonos setup, there's still nothing better than a separate standalone subwoofer. The Sub 3 boasts plenty of power in the form of dual inward-facing 5"x8" woofers and a ported design that allows for a louder and deeper low-end.

Why Sonos?

If you're looking for an easy solution to add great sound to your home, then you've probably already heard of Sonos. Sonos speakers are very easy to set up, don't take a large amount of space, and most importantly, offer distortion-free room-filling audio. They're definitely pricier than budget options, but the sound quality is comparable to speakers that cost hundreds more or take up much more space.

The Best Dell & Alienware Deals and Coupons: Gaming Laptops, PCs, Monitors, and More

2 décembre 2025 à 17:50

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 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 Aurora Gaming Laptop Deals

Alienware's new mainstream gaming laptop for 2025 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 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.

Gaming Monitor Deals

Dell makes some of the highest quality gaming monitors around. They're easily on par with the best that other brands like Samsung, LG, and Asus have to offer. For Cyber Monday, they're also incredibly well-priced. For example, the venerable 34" Alienware AW3423DWF Qfor $499.99 is the lower price I've ever seen for a 34" OLED monitor. By the way, if you do opt for a Dell or Alienware OLED monitor, you also get a 3 year warranty that includes OLED burn-in protection.

Lenovo Just Brought Back Its Best Black Friday Gaming PC Deal for the Final Hours of Cyber Monday

2 décembre 2025 à 02:10

Cyber Monday is hitting its twilight moment, but that hasn't stopped Lenovo from bringing back its best Black Friday gaming PC deal. Right now you can score a Lenovo Legion Tower 5 RTX 5070 Ti gaming PC for just $1,492.49 after you stack two coupons: "EXTRAFIVE" and "LENOVOHOLIDEAL". Free delivery is included. This was the lowest price for an RTX 5070 Ti prebuilt desktop when it first went on sale, and no other deal since then has been able to beat it!

Lenovo Legion RTX 5070 Ti Gaming PC for $1,492.49

The Lenovo Legion Tower 5 Gen 10 gaming PC is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX processor, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, 32GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD. According to the product page, the processor is equipped with a 240mm liquid cooler, which is a rare upgrade for a Legion Tower 5 series. An 850W 80Plus Gold power supply provides plenty of power for future upgrades. The case offers toolless entry and non-proprietary components.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX is normally a laptop CPU

This PC is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX CPU on a customized Intel HM870 mATX motherboard. The 255HX is traditionally a laptop-class CPU, and it's important to note that laptop CPUs are (permanently) soldered onto the motherboard. Unlike a desktop CPU, a laptop CPU cannot be upgraded. If you do plan on swapping the CPU for something better in the future, then you'll have to stick with a gaming PC equipped with a traditional desktop CPU. If you don't intend on swapping the CPU, then you'll get excellent desktop-level performance out of this chip.

The RTX 5070 Ti GPU has excellent 4K gaming performance

Despite the fact that the CPU is a mobile chip, the RTX 5070 Ti is a desktop-class graphics card with 16GB of RAM and 1,406 AI TOPS. Unlike the CPU, the GPU can be user upgraded.

Of all the RTX 50 series GPUs released thus far, the RTX 5070 Ti offers the best bang for your buck for 4K gaming performance. It performs neck-and-neck with the RTX 4080 Super and marginalizes the RTX 5080, which is only about 10%-15% faster but costs 33% more. Like all Blackwell cards, the RTX 5070 Ti supports DLSS 4. It also has 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM same as the RTX 5080, making it suitable for AI.

The Best Cyber Monday 3D Printer Deals Are at Best Buy, an Official Bambu Lab Reseller

1 décembre 2025 à 23:53

There's no better time to find an excuse to start 3D printing your own products than during Cyber Monday sales, because that's when 3D printers drop to their lowest prices of the year. Bambu is widely considered one of the better 3D printer brands on the market, and its most popular models are all still on sale after Black Friday.

New for 2025, Best Buy has become an official reseller of Bambu Lab. As part of Best Buy's Cyber Monday Sale this year, every Bambu Lab 3D printer is on sale right now. Although Bambu Lab now ships its products from US-based warehouses if you order from them directly, I'd still recommend getting the printer from Best Buy because the return policy is much easier (simply return to your local Best Buy store) and you accrue Best Buy rewards.

Black Friday Bambu 3D Printer Deals

Not sure which 3D printer to get? Read on below for a bit of detail on each deal.

Bambu P1S Combo 3D Printer

The Bambu P1S is the best Bambu 3D printer for most people; this is Bambu's mid-range model and offers several useful premium features at a reasonable cost. It's almost entirely fully assembled out of the box and setup should take under 15 minutes. Unlike cheaper 3D printers, the P1S features a fully enclosed chamber, which is necessary to stabilize temperature and ambient conditions in order to produce more consistent results. It boasts an acceleration speed of up to 20000 mm/s² and can print a benchy in 18 minutes. A built-in camera allows you to remotely monitor the printing process.

The P1S Combo model includes the Automatic Material System or AMS. This module basically allows for multi-filament printing, which means you can use up to four different types of filament material or colors per AMS (you can daisy chain up to four AMS to manage as many as 16 different filaments). The AMS itself normally retails $350, so it's best to get it in this combo, especially if you plan on getting it anyway in the long run.

Bambu A1 Mini 3D Printer

The A1 Mini is Bambu's most affordable 3D printer, so a $50 discount is still significant. This is an excellent entry level printer for someone who's just starting out. It doesn't take up much space at all, the touchscreen interface is intuitive to use, and maintenance is designed to be quick and easy. Since this is a more compact design, the A1 Mini is ideal for smaller projects using PLA filament.

Bambu A1 3D Printer

The main difference between the A1 and the A1 Mini is the build volume; the A1 has a larger working area. There are some other benefits to the A1's larger footprint like a larger touchscreen, but functionally the two are nearly identical. The A1 Combo model includes the Automatic Material System or AMS for multi-filament printing.

Bambu H2D AMS Combo 3D Printer

If you're ready to graduate to the best of the best, than Bambu's H2D printer should be on your list of potential candidates. This printer has every feature you could ask for, like an enclosed and heated working space, a dual-nozzle system that minimizes purge waste, built-in multi-filament printing, larger build volume than the P1S, and a bigger touchscreen.

The AirPods Pro 3 Wireless Noise Canceling Earbuds Drops to $149.99 for Cyber Monday

1 décembre 2025 à 23:20

By now everyone's probably aware of the two Cyber Monday deals floating around for Apple's new AirPods Pro 3 wireless noise canceling earbuds. They normally retail for $249 but you can get either of these modest discounts:

But there's actually another way you can get it for significantly cheaper. Quickshipelectronics via eBay has certified open box Apple AirPods Pro 3 earbuds for just $149.99 with free delivery. "Open box" usually implies that these buds are new and unused. There's no mention of an official Apple warranty, however eBay does back this sale up with a 1 year Allstate warranty. Quickshipelectronics itself is a pretty well-known retailer of used or open box goods and its eBay account has nearly 400,00 reviews with a stellar 99.7% feedback rating.

Open Box AirPods Pro 3 Earbuds for $149.99

Update: Now you have to join a livestream to get this deal. You'll need to add a credit card for payment. Click on the little icon with the 3 dots to see all of "Buy It Now" items and scroll down to find the deal.

The AirPods Pro 3 launched on September 19, so it's just over 2 months old and you can already get it for over 30% off. 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, 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 will translate other languages on the fly. This isn't exclusive to the AirPods Pro, however, since it can also be used with the 2nd gen AirPods Pro and the AirPods 4.

If you are interested in other models, pretty much every generation of AirPods is on sale. You can check out our full guide to this year's Cyber Monday sales for more deals outside of the Apple ecosystem.

The Dell Cyber Monday Sale Has the Only Gaming PC Deals That Haven't Expired Yet

1 décembre 2025 à 22:50

Throughout Black Friday and the weekend, there were quite a few worthy gaming PC deals from several retailers including HP, Lenovo, Best Buy, and Walmart. For whatever reason, these deals have either sold out or gone up in price. There's really just one retailer that still has its best deals still running for Cyber Monday, and that's Alienware. It's still not too late to score a great deal on a powerful gaming PC, but the clock is ticking.

Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC From $1,750

Even when all the other deals going on, Dell (Alienware) consistently had the lowest price on a prebuilt RTX 5080 gaming PC. You can get an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC starting at just $1,750 (it was $1,815 on Friday). This base configuration is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. You can upgrade to 32GB of RAM for an extra $100. The RTX 5080 is a phenomenal card for playing the most demanding games in 4K resolution with ray tracing.

Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5070 Ti Gaming PC From $1,500

Most gamers can step down from an RTX 5080 to an RTX 5070 Ti without any noticeable performance drop in gameplay. You'll notice the cost savings, however. This base configuration is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The RTX 5070 Ti GPU was our best reviewed RTX 50 series GPU because it offers strong 4K gaming performance at a reasonable price point. It performs neck-and-neck with the RTX 4080 Super and pulls ahead in games that support DLSS 4.

Alienware Area-51 RTX 5090 Gaming PC (New) for $3,900

Dell has its flagship Alienware Area-51 gaming PC equipped with an uber powerful GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card starting at $3,899.99 after a $1,150 instant discount. The base system features a 240mm liquid cooled Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM, and a 2TB SSD. The RTX 5090 is 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.

This Sonos Arc Soundbar Costs $500 Less Than the Arc Ultra for Cyber Monday

2 décembre 2025 à 02:40

Sonos doesn't discount its popular speakers very often, so it's a wise investment to jump on a good sale when you see one. The Sonos Arc was discontinued last year to make way for its successor, the Arc Ultra. It's no longer available new at Sonos direct, however for Cyber Monday you can pick up a certified refurbished model for just $399. That's nearly $500 less than its original retail price of $900. It's a better value than picking up the Arc Ultra, currently "on sale" for $879.

Sonos refurbished products go through rigorous testing; they come with all accessories, manuals, and documentation and are reshipped in "pristine" packaging. Most importantly, Sonos includes the same 1-year warranty as buying new. I like when retailers offer the same warranty as new because that means they have faith in the reliability of their refurbs.

Sonos Arc Soundbar (Refurbished)

The release of the Arc Ultra doesn't make the Arc any less of an outstanding speaker. The 45" soundbar houses eleven precisely engineered internal speakers, including three tweeters and eight midwoofers each paired with Class-D amplifiers. It's capable of room filling audio by itself, but you'd still benefit from a separate subwoofer to round out the low end. Unlike the Sonos Beam, which only has virtual height channels, the Arc has two physical height channels for true Dolby Atmos support. The Arc also has a built-in microphone for smart assistant compatiblity, including voice control.

Save $120 off the Sonos Arc Ultra for Cyber Monday

If you care more about getting the superior speaker, even if it might not be as cost-efficient, then the Arc Ultra might bhe the soundbar for you. This imposing 46" soundbar houses 14 total speakers, including five tweeters (plus two upward-firing speakers for Dolby Atmos supported height channels), six midwoofers, and a four-motor, dual-membrane Sound Motion woofer for impressive low-end that the original Arc lacked. The Arc Ultra uses AI enhancement technology to isolate and boost the clarity of dialogue and voices. It also has a built-in microphone so that it can be controlled using voice commands from the Sonos app or your favorite smart assistant. Check out our own Sonos Arc Ultra review.

This deal is part of a greater Sonos Black Friday Sale. Check out more deals on soundbars, speakers, and headphones, including the lowest prices of the year on the Sub 4 and Sub Mini to complement your soundbar.

The Slim MSI Inspire RTX 5070 Ti Graphics Card Drops to Well Below MSRP for Cyber Monday

2 décembre 2025 à 02:40

Woot!, which is owned by Amazon, is offering a rare Cyber Monday deal on one of the new Nvidia RTX 50 series graphics cards. The factory reconditioned MSI Inspire GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB graphics card drops to just $719.99 (normally $850 new). Amazon Prime members get free shipping, otherwise it's a trivial $5 delivery fee. This GPU comes with a 180-day MSI warranty as well as a 30-day Woot return policy. From past experience, these listings have extremely limited inventory, so this deal probably won't last the entirety of Cyber Monday. If you've been waiting for a discount on an RTX 50 series GPU for your upcoming PC upgrade, this is a good opportunity to pick one up at no markup.

MSI Inspire GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU for $719.99 (Retail $850)

Factory reconditioned with 6 month MSI warranty

The base RTX 5070 Ti graphics card retails for $749.99, so you're already saving $30 with this deal. The MSI Inspire RTX 5070 Ti is one of MSI's highest end 5070 Ti GPUs and actually retails for $849.99. It is very slim for an RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, but still provides plenty of cooling potential thanks to a beefy heatsink and triple fan combo. It's also one of the better looking GPUs with a slick gold metallic aesthetic and minimal RGB bling.

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, especially if you're intending to play games at more demanding resolutions. This GPU is fully capable of running games in 4K at high framerates. It performs neck-and-neck with the RTX 4080 Super and marginalizes the RTX 5080, which is only about 10%-15% faster but costs 33% more. Like all Blackwell cards, the RTX 5070 Ti supports DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation. If you plan on using this card for AI, the RTX 5070 Ti may be a better value since it has the same amount of VRAM as the RTX 5080.

Compared to AMD, the RTX 5070 Ti is roughly comparable in raw performance to AMD's new RX 9070 XT graphics card, but the 5070 Ti has better upscaling technology and better ray tracing performance. The RX 9070 XT should be better priced at $599, but in reality you won't find any model for less than $700.

The Meta Quest 3S VR Headset Drops to Basically $199 With This Amazon Cyber Monday Deal

2 décembre 2025 à 02:40

Prospective VR gamers, there's no better time to immerse yourself in real next-gen gaming. The best Cyber Monday deals on the popular Meta Quest 3S VR headset has been carried over from Black Friday, which means you have one more day to get in on this deal before it potentially expires at midnight.

Amazon has discounted the Meta Quest 3S 128GB model to $249.99 (normally $300) and is also throwing in a bonus $50 Amazon credit with purchase. That's basically getting a Quest 3S headset for $199. You also get Gorilla Tag for free.

Note that Best Buy is offering similar Meta Quest 3S deals to Amazon, but with a $50 Best Buy gift card. The 128GB model also comes with The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners instead of Gorilla Tag. The 256GB model is down to $329.99 (was $400) and includes a $50 Best Buy gift card and the Batman: Akrham Shadow game.

Meta Quest 3S Starting at $249.99 Plus $50 Amazon Credit

Also at the official Meta eBay Store for $212.49

The Meta Quest 3S is the best standalone consumer-oriented VR headset under $300. It retails for 40% less than the Quest 3 and yet retains most of its hardware and functionality, including the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, Touch Plus controllers with inside-out tracking, and mixed reality passthrough. However, whereas the Quest 3 has been updated with a new pancake lens design, the Quest 3S retains the Fresnel optics of the Quest 2. Although obviously not as good as the Quest 3, the Quest 3S still very much offers an immersive visual experience that is sure to impress. I myself logged in hundreds of hours on the Quest 2 before I moved on to the Quest 3. For newcomers who want to try out VR gaming without investing tons of money, of for people who want to give this as a gift to someone who's never tried VR, I would recommend the Quest 3S over the Quest, especially at this price.

TL;DR:

  • Same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor
  • Same Touch Plus controllers
  • Same 120Hz refresh rate
  • Same Mixed reality passthrough functionality
  • Same tetherless and tethered functionality
  • Quest 3 has sharper resolution (2064x2208 vs 1832x1920)
  • Quest 3 has better lens array (pancake vs fresnel)
  • Quest 3 has wider FOV (104°/96° vs 96°/90°)
  • Quest 3 has higher storage capacity (512GB vs 128GB)

Best Buy Has a Massive 77" LG OLED TV at the Lowest Price I've Ever Seen for Cyber Monday

1 décembre 2025 à 13:40

Looking for an XL-sized OLED TV for the lowest price possible? Here's a Best Buy exclusive Cyber Monday deal that didn't exist on Black Friday. Right now you pick up the massive 77" LG B5 4K OLED Smart TV for just $1,299.99 with free delivery. This TV typically sells for $2,000, although it dropped to $1,499.99 for Black Friday. Now it's $200 less. The B5 is a current generation 2025 TV that can play PS5 games to their fullest potential.

Cyber Monday Deal: 77" LG B5 4K OLED TV for $1,299.99

The LG B5 is equipped with a W-OLED panel that boasts superior image quality compared to non-OLED TVs thanks to its near-infinite contrast ratio, near-instantaneous response times, and ability to produce true blacks. Compared to the LG C-series TVs, it lacks the Evo technology which means it isn't as bright as the (way) more expensive C5 model, however, it's very similar to the previous generation's C4 because the generational performance improvement closes the gap. If I were to choose between a 77" LG B5 or 65" LG C5 because they are similarly priced, I would hands down go with the 77" model.

OLED TVs are considered the best TVs for gaming and the B5 is no exception. It has a native 120Hz panel and four HDMI 2.1 ports, which means it can run games in 4K at up to 120fps on the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X console. The LG B5 also supports variable refresh rate (VRR) and auto low latency mode (ALLM).

Is the LG B5 OLED TV 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. Oddly, it doesn’t even get VRR when docked – that’s reserved for handheld mode only. All that aside, the Switch 2 will still benefit from an OLED TV's overall image quality, just like how the Switch OLED looks better than the original Switch, despite the fact that the screens share similar specs.

This New Cyber Monday Apple AirPods Pro Deal Beats Black Friday's Best Price

1 décembre 2025 à 17:15

Why pay $220 for the new AirPods 3 when you can get the 2nd generation model for way, way cheaper? Ahead of Black Friday, Woot (which is owned by Amazon), is selling brand new, fully warrantied 2nd gen Apple AirPods Pro earbuds for just $134.99. Amazon Prime members get free shipping, otherwise there's a $5 delivery fee. This is the second generation model with USB Type-C and MagSafe charging case. And you read right, these include a 1 year Apple warranty. This is one of the best Cybery Monday deals we've found on any Apple product.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) for $135

Includes full 1 year Apple warranty

The AirPods Pro is the best-sounding "truly wireless" earbuds for iPhone users thanks to its passively isolating in-ear design combined with excellent active noise cancelation, low-distortion driver and amp, and the Apple H2 chip. It also has useful features like Adaptive Transparency Mode, which lets you better hear your surroundings without removing your earbuds, and Conversation Mode, which automatically enhances the voices of people you're talking to. The second generation AirPods Pro replaces the Lightning port with a more universal USB Type-C port so you don't have to mix and match cables, and also includes a MagSafe charging case as standard.

The AirPods Pro 3 is better, but is worth twice the cost?

Currently there's a Black Friday deal that drops the price of the newer AirPods Pro 3 to $219.99. That's a welcome discount for sure, but it's still double the price of the 2nd gen AirPods Pro 2 deal here. The new AirPods Pro 3 are without a doubt an improvement over the 2nd gen AirPods pro, but it's your call as to whether or not those improvements are worth double the price. Here's a rundown of what's improved this time around:

TL;DR: AirPods Pro 3 improvements

  • Better audio quality
  • Better noise cancelation
  • Built-in heart rate sensing
  • Longer battery life (8hrs vs 6hrs)
  • More weatherproof (IP57 vs IP54)

The Sonos Cyber Monday Sale Drops Prices on Soundbars, Speakers, and Complete Pre-Matched Sets

1 décembre 2025 à 10:45

No matter how gorgeous of an image your new 4K TV might produce, it's going to feel incomplete without a room-filling speaker system to back it up. Sonos may have wrapped up its Black Friday Sale, but the new Sonos Cyber Monday Sale kicks off now. After perusing the deals, I would say this Cyber Monday sale is mostly a continuation of the Black Friday deals, except now you only have one final day to get in on the savings before it's all over. Sonos states on its site that this sale ends promptly on December 1, so don't expect these deals to be available afterwards.

The audio savvy knows that a single speaker isn't enough to reproduce an entire soundstage. Fortunately, Sonos offers pre-selected speaker bundles that are matched together to round out a complete home theater or entertainment system. Some of these bundles have an additional discount that stacks on top of Cyber Monday prices.

This set includes:

  • 2 x Era 100 speakers ($338 for both, normally $438)

There is an extra $19 off set discount that drops the price even further to $319 with free delivery.

This set includes:

  • 2 x Era 300 speakers ($758 for both, normally $958)
  • Sub 4 subwoofer ($719, normally $899)

This set includes:

  • Sonos Arc Ultra soundbar ($879, normally $999)
  • Sub 4 subwoofer ($719, normally $899)

This set includes:

  • Sonos Arc Ultra soundbar ($879, normally $999)
  • Sub 4 subwoofer ($719, normally $899)
  • 2 x Era 100 speakers ($338 for both, normally $438)

This set includes:

  • Sonos Arc Ultra soundbar ($879, normally $999)
  • Sub 4 subwoofer ($719, normally $899)
  • 2 x Era 300 speakers ($758 for both, normally $958)

Sonos Move 2 for $299

The Move 2 is Sonos' biggest and best portable speaker. Thinks of it as a portable Era 100. This is a standalone speaker with a self-contained battery and can be carried around from room to room. It's also made of more durable materials and is IP56 rated for weather resistance and A small dock is also included. The Move 2 pumps out great sound for its small footprint. Like the Era 100, the Move 2 has two tweeters, three class-D digital amplifiers, a mid-woofer. It also has a built-in microphone for voice control so it is Alexa and Google Assistant compatible.

Sonos Arc Ultra

The Arc Ultra is Sonos' best soundbar speaker, replacing last year's Arc model. It is a massive 46" soundbar that houses 14 total speakers, including five tweeters (plus two upward-firing speakers for Dolby Atmos supported height channels), six midwoofers, and a four-motor, dual-membrane Sound Motion woofer. The Arc Ultra uses AI enhancement technology to isolate and boost the clarity of dialogue and voices. It also has a built-in microphone so that it can be controlled using voice commands from the Sonos app or your favorite smart assistant. Check out our own Sonos Arc Ultra review.

Sonos Era 100

Why Sonos?

If you're looking for an easy solution to add great sound to your home, then you've probably already heard of Sonos. Sonos speakers are very easy to set up, don't take a large amount of space, and most importantly, offer distortion-free room-filling audio. They're definitely pricier than budget options, but the sound quality is comparable to speakers that cost hundreds more or take up much more space.

The Mega-Sized 1TB Nintendo Switch 2 Memory Card Drops to the Lowest Price Ever for Cyber Monday

1 décembre 2025 à 07:30

Are you the owner of a spankin' new Nintendo Switch 2 console? Have you been holding off on a memory card upgrade until prices have dropped? If you answered "yes" to both questions, then you, my fellow Nintendo gamer, are in luck.

Only for Cyber Monday, Best Buy is offering the mega-sized NEXT 1TB MicroSD Express card for $169.99 with free shipping. This is the best price I've seen to date for a 1TB Switch 2 memory card. NEXT, alongside Insignia and Rocketfish, is part of a larger brand sold only at Best Buy, making this a retailer-exclusive Cyber Monday deal.

The Best Cyber Monday 1TB Switch 2 Memory Card Deal

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. Most MicroSD cards cap out at well under 200MB/s.

Smaller capacities are also on sale

Is the Nintendo Switch 2 console on sale for Black Friday?

Sadly, no (although we'd love to be proven wrong today). In fact, Nintendo recently raised prices on Switch 2 accessories and warned that the console itself might see a price hike in the near future. So, although there are no Switch 2 console deals live for Black Friday, if you don't yet own one and are looking into buying, now might be the right time to get one. It's now in stock everywhere, including on Amazon, and without any invitation required anymore. The only way to get a Switch 2 for a cheaper price would be buying an import model from AliExpress or used consoles from eBay or other marketplaces. If you're still unsure if Switch 2 is worth your investment this holiday season, check out our Nintendo Switch 2 review first for more insight before you buy.

Alienware Has the Least Expensive RTX 5080 Gaming PC Deal for Cyber Monday, Cheaper Than Black Friday

1 décembre 2025 à 04:20

Dell (Alienware) offered the best price on a prebuilt RTX 5080 gaming PC for Black Friday. But guess what, it's actually lower in price for Cyber Monday. That's right, Dell is currently offering an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC starting at just $1,750 (it was $1,815 on Friday). It's well equipped with a current generation Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU and a fair amount of RAM and storage, but since this is a customizable configuration, you can upgrade specs for an extra cost. Alienware normally commands a higher price point, but this Cyber Monday deal totally flips the script.

Cyber Monday Deal: Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC

This base configuration is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. You can upgrade to 32GB of RAM for an extra $100. The processor is cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooling solution and the entire system is powered by a robust 1,000W 80+ Platinum rated power supply.

Alternatively, for an extra $500, you can upgrade to a more powerful Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor and double the memory and storage. You might want to consider getting this config if you don't plan on doing any upgrades yourself in the future. The upgrade cost is reasonable considering the fact that DDR5 RAM has been surging in price recently.

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.

The Best Buy Cyber Monday Sale Has New, Exclusive Deals I Didn't See During Black Friday

2 décembre 2025 à 02:35

Tech savvy deal hunters, the wait is over; the Best Buy Cyber Monday Sale has officially commenced. There are hundreds of deals that are worth checking out, including several available exclusively at Best Buy. These are the deals you don't want to overlook, because they're very often the best deals you'll find for all of Cyber Monday.

Best Buy also offers free shipping on orders over $35 with the option to order online and pick up in-store. If for some reason you have to return your item, you can do so at your nearest retail location instead of dealing with return shipping. Check out the highlighted Best Buy deals below.

Nintendo Switch 2 Memory Cards (MicroSD Express)

Are you the owner of a spankin' new Nintendo Switch 2 console? Have you been holding off on a memory card upgrade until prices have dropped? If you answered "yes" to both questions, then you, my fellow Nintendo gamer, are in luck for Cyber Monday. 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.

Lenovo Legion Go S Gaming Handhelds

Best Buy has the best handheld gaming PC deals for Cyber Monday at this time. The Lenovo Legion Go S Z1 Extreme SteamOS handheld drops to just $649.99 after a $250 instant discount. This is the more powerful model with the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip and it is easily one of the best Steam-based gaming handhelds currently available.

Also on sale is the Legion Go S Z2 Go Edition, which is currently $449.99 after a $200 discount. Despite the fact that the AMD Ryzen Z2 Go is a 2nd gen chip, it's less powerful than the Z1 Extreme, but more powerful than the Steam Deck's APU. Since this version also runs SteamOS, you'll get generally better performance out of it.

Asus Zenbook 14 Ultra-Portable Laptop (Only 2.8 Pounds)

The Zenbook 14 laptop offers exceptional build quality in an ultra-slim footprint, all for well under $1,000. The all-aluminum chassis has a fingerprint resistant finish and meets MIL-STD 810H military standards for durability. It weighs in at a mere 2.8 pounds and measures under 0.6" thin. It features a gorgeous Asus Lumina OLED 1920x1200 display with touchscreen functionality and Corning Glass screen protection. The internal components are nothing to sniff at either. Inside is an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor with Intel Arc onboard graphics, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

Laptops Starting at $119 (and Below $650)

Let's be honest, most people don't need laptops that cost over $1,000. Unless you're using your laptop for intense gaming or work, you'll probably be fine with a $650 laptop, or even less. For Cyber Monday, stretch your dollar a little more with deals on budget laptops that start at just $199, or a Chromebook for $119.

77" LG B5 4K OLED TV

Looking for an XL-sized OLED TV for the lowest price possible? Here's a Best Buy exclusive Cyber Monday deal that didn't exist on Black Friday. Right now you pick up the massive 77" LG B5 4K OLED Smart TV for just $1,299.99 with free delivery. This TV typically sells for $2,000, although it dropped to $1,499.99 for Black Friday. Now it's $200 less. The B5 is a current generation 2025 TV that can play PS5 games to their fullest potential.

65" TCL QM5K 4K QD-Mini-LED Google TV

The TCL QM5K is the least expensive 65" TV I've seen so far that's equipped with a quantum dot Mini-LED panel with full-array backlighting. That basically means this TV will excel at displaying 4K HDR content in its full glory.

More Cyber Monday TV Deals

Year after year, you can always rely on Best Buy to deliver some of the best Cyber Monday TV deals. That's because Best Buy often carries exclusive models and brands that aren't available elsewhere and thus cannot be price matched. There are several reasons why you should upgrade your TV in 2025, especially since prices have fallen dramatically this year. Whatever your budget constraints and size requirements may be, there's a TV deal for you; pick up a 55" TV for as low as $170 or a wall-hugging 98" TV for under $1,000.

Bambu Lab 3D Printer Deals

There's no better time to find an excuse to start 3D printing your own products. Cyber Monday is the best day to get a 3D printer at its lowest price of the year.

Bambu is widely considered one of the better 3D printer brands on the market, and its most popular models are all on sale today. New for 2025, Best Buy has become an official reseller of Bambu Lab. Although Bambu Lab now ships its products from US-based warehouses if you order from them directly, I'd still recommend getting the printer from Best Buy because the return policy is much easier (simply return to your local Best Buy store) and you accrue Best Buy rewards.

Apple iPad Mini 8.3" (A17 Pro)

The iPad Mini may be diminutive in size, but certainly not in performance. The A17 Pro chip is actually more powerful than the A16 Bionic found in the standard iPad. And despite the fact that the 8.3" screen is smaller, it's a higher quality display with a sharper 326ppi pixel density and both P3 Wide Color and True Tone technology. Also, unlike the standard iPad, the iPad Mini supports Apple Intelligence.

Seagate 24TB External Hard Drive

Planning to bulk up on local storage during Cyber Monday? Right now you can pick up a massive Seagate Expansion 24TB USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive for just $249.99. That averages out to a mere $10.42 per terabyte of storage.

Although SSDs are all the rage these days, traditional hard drives are still the superior choice for long term storage. They're cheaper, they have a much higher capacity, and perhaps most importantly, although SSDs can equal HDDs in terms of lifespan, it's much easier to recover data from a HDD than SSD if either one fails.

Bose QuietComfort Headphones

The Bose QuietComfort wireless noise cancelling headphones are down to just $159.99 for Cyber Monday, a $40 price drop compared to Black Friday. The Bose QuietComfort is just a rename of the QuietComfort 45 with more color options. That's a good thing, because the QC45 was highly praised for its sound, noise canceling performance and all-day comfort.

Nintendo Switch Games Starting at $29.99 at Best Buy

Cyber Monday is easily the best time of year to score some major discount on Nintendo Switch 2 video games. This time around, Best Buy is the one-stop shop for all of the lowest prices. Pick up big games like Super Mario Odyssey, Paper Mario, and Splatoon 3 at literally 50% off retail price.

Meta Quest VR Headset Deal

Prospective VR gamers, there's no better time to immerse yourself in real next-gen gaming. Best Buy has discounted both Meta Quest 3S models ($249 for the 128GB model and $329 for the 256GB model) and is also throwing in a bonus $50 Best Buy gift card with either purchase. That's basically getting a Quest 3S headset for as low as $199. You also get a free game: The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners for the 128GB model - a Best Buy exclusive bundle.

The Meta Quest 3S is the best standalone consumer-oriented VR headset under $300. It retails for 40% less than the Quest 3 and yet retains most of its hardware and functionality, including the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, Touch Plus controllers with inside-out tracking, and mixed reality passthrough.

Corsair MP600 Pro LPX 2TB PS5 SSD with Heatsink

If you haven't heard already, a recent surge in demand for memory has caused DRAM to increase in price. To a lesser extent, according to Tom's Hardware, this has also affected NAND flash storage. SSDs have already been increasing in cost recentl. If you're holding out in hopes that memory card prices will drop even further within the next few months, you'd be taking a gamble. I'd say that you'd likely have to wait until mid to late 2026 before prices stabilize again. I'd recommend getting one now so you don't need to worry about running out of space.

KEF Q1 Meta Bookshelf Speakers

Looking to upgrade your audiophile setup without investing too much money? Best Buy is offering a pair of the excellent KEF Q1 Meta Bookshelf Speakers for only $399.99 shipped. All three color options - white, black, and walnut finish - are discounted. These speakers normally retail for $600 and don't go on sale very often.

The KEF Q1 Meta is a passive pair of bookshelf speakers which means you'll have to connect them to an external amplifier to deliver power. The impedance rating is 4ohm and maximum power output is 150W. KEF Meta speakers feature a labyrinthine "metamaterial" that's designed to tune out up to 99% of unwanted sound, delivering a purer, more natural, and accurate sound reproduction. The Q1 is KEF's most affordable speaker that employs Meta technology, which is usually reserved for higher end speakers like the very well reviewed KEF LS50.

48" LG B5 4K OLED Smart TV

OLED TVs are considered the best TVs for gaming, but they can also be very expensive. Fortunately, LG has a B-series OLED lineup that's hundreds of dollars cheaper than its other OLED TVs while still offering incredible image quality. As part of its Cyber Monday sale, Best Buy currently has the 48" LG B5 4K OLED Smart TV for a low price of $549.99 with free delivery. At this size, the TV could also be used as a big-screen gaming monitor for your PC.

Nvidia Shield Android TV Pro

Even after all these years, the Nvidia Shield Android TV Pro sits atop the throne as the best Android-based streaming box on the market. For Cyber Monday, you can get it on sale for just $169.99 after a 15% off discount. This deal isn't exactly an exclusive - it's also available at Amazon - but Best Buy is most likely to have it in stock for the longest.

Make no mistake the Shield TV Pro beats the Roku, Apple TV, Fire Stick, Chromecast, and just about every other media player in terms of performance and functionality. It's capable of handling 4K video with Dolby Vision HDR from all of your favorite streaming apps as well as Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital Plus audio support. The Shield TV Pro is also one of the only streaming devices that supports GeForce Now, which allows you to stream your PC games to your TV without having to own a gaming PC.

Cyber Monday Gaming PC Deals

Cyber Monday is the best time of year to upgrade your gaming PC and get the most powerful system for the least amount of money. Best Buy has several exclusive Cyber Monday deals on gaming PCs from CyberPowerPC, iBuypower, Skytech, and more. They're equipped with the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series or AMD Radeon 9000 series GPUs so that you can play the latest and most demanding games without breaking a sweat.

Save $110 Off the New Sony WH-1000XM6 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones for Cyber Monday

2 décembre 2025 à 02:40

The latest Cyber Monday deals make it the right time to score a brand new pair of Sony's newest flagship wireless noise cancelling headphone at the lowest price ever. Buydig (via eBay) is offering the brand new Sony WH-1000XM6 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones for just $318.40 after you apply off coupon code "CYBERWEEK20". That's a 30% discount off the $450 list price and blows away any other WH-1000XM6 deal I've seen so far. BuyDig is an authorized Sony reseller.

Sony WH-1000XM6 Headphone Cyber Monday Deal

The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones is the 2025 successor to the WH-1000XM5 that was released back in 2022. Both sound quality and noise cancelation have been noticeably improved on the XM6 thanks to a more powerful QN3 audio processor and a total of 12 beam-forming microphones that do a great job of picking up and cancelling out unwanted noise. The XM6 is also more comfortable to wear because of the hinged earcups. The same design also allows the XM6 to be more easily stowed away since the earcups can be folded inwards to fit in a smaller carrying case. It can last up to 30 hours on a single charge, and a quick 3 minute top-up over USB Type-C will give you up to 3 hours of continuous playback. You can save some money by going with an older generation XM5 or even the XM4, but as long as it is within your budget, the XM6's improvements in sound quality, noise cancelation, and ergonomics makes the new model worth it.

The Alienware Area-51 RTX 5090 Gaming PC Drops to as Low as $3,899 for Cyber Monday

1 décembre 2025 à 17:25

The Alienware Cyber Monday Sale is well under way with some new deals on higher-end gaming PCs, some of which are actually better than what I saw during Black Friday. If you're seeking the absolute best of the best in PC gaming performance, look no further than Alienware's new Area-51 gaming PC equipped with an uber powerful GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card. Since these are top-of-line PCs, they command very high prices, usually well over $4000. However, Cyber Monday is offering savings of over $1,000 to get one configuration below that price point.

Alienware Area-51 RTX 5090 Gaming PC (New) for $3,900

For Cyber Monday, Dell is offering brand new an Alienware Area-51 gaming PC equipped with an GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card starting at just $3,899.99. This is the first time I've ever seen a brand new 5090 desktop configuration sell for under $4,000 at Dell. The base system features a 240mm liquid cooled Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM, and a 2TB SSD. The system includes a 1,500W 80Plus Platinum power supply which gives you extra headroom for future upgrades down the roam. The RAM and hard drives are easily user-swappable.

The pricier system listed above boasts a 360mm liquid cooled Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor.

New for 2025: The Alienware Area-51 Chassis

Dell unveiled the new Alienware Area-51 gaming PC at CES 2025. The chassis is a super-sized upgrade to the 2024 R16 system with aesthetic and cooling redesigns and updated components. The I/O panel is positioned at the top of the case instead of the front, and the tempered glass window now spans the entire side panel instead of just a smaller cutout. As a result, the side panel vents are gone, and instead air intakes are located at the bottom as well as the front of the case. Alienware is now pushing a positive airflow design (more intake than exhaust airflow), which means a less dusty interior. 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.

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.

The Best Cyber Monday Handheld Gaming PC Deals Include Steam Deck and Legion Go S

1 décembre 2025 à 21:45

With the advent of gaming PC handhelds, your entire library of PC games is at your fingertips. Now you can play Steam games like Clair Obscur, Hades, Silksong, or Ball x Pit on a device that's not much bigger than a Switch console. For Cyber Monday, select SteamOS gaming handhelds - including the Steam Deck - are on sale. One is even priced a bit lower than on Black Friday with the new Cyber Monda deals. SteamOS is more intuitive to use on a handheld than Windows and I would recommend it for anyone who wants an easy, hassle-free experience that plays most games with minimal tinkering and little technical know-how.

Lenovo Legion Go S Z1 Extreme SteamOS Edition

Best Buy has the Lenovo Legion Go S Z1 Extreme SteamOS handheld for just $649.99 after a $250 instant discount. This particular Lenovo Legion Go S is equipped with the more powerful AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, 32GB of RAM, 512GB storage capacity, and it runs off SteamOS instead of Windows.

The Z1 Extreme is much more powerful than the APU found in the Steam Deck and as such, it will outperform the Steam Deck in pretty much any situation. Graphics also look sharper with more fluid movement, thanks to a bigger 8" 1200p display with a higher 120Hz refresh rate. The Legion Go S also supports a much higher maximum charging rate (up to 100W vs 40W for the Steam Deck). This deal prices the Legion Go S on par with the highest end Steam Deck, but it's superior in almost every way.

Check out Jacqueline's 9/10 review of the Legion Go S (Z1 Extreme, SteamOS model), in which she concludes that it is one of the "best handheld gaming PCs on the market, and a legitimate Steam Deck alternative."

Lenovo Legion Go S Z2 Go SteamOS Edition

Also on sale is the Legion Go S Z2 Go Edition, which is currently $449.99 after a $200 discount. Despite the fact that the AMD Ryzen Z2 Go is a 2nd gen chip, it's actually less powerful than the Z1 Extreme. Fortunately, it's still more powerful than the Steam Deck's APU and you should expect slightly better performance out of it, especially if you knock the resolution down to 1280x800. Since a Steam Deck with equivalent specs will still cost you $549, this is a much better value: you get more features and pay less money.

Xbox Ally Z2 A Windows Edition

Free Xbox controller included

The Xbox Ally was released last month, with the AMD Ryzen Z2 A model retailing for $599.99. For Cyber Monday, Antonline (via Walmart) is throwing in an Xbox controller. The Xbox Ally is based on the ROG Ally X platform but with Microsoft's collaboration. You can read our Xbox Ally X review to see what the differences are from the original, however keep in mind that Jackie reviewed the $1,000 higher-end "Xbox Ally X" model with the Z2 Extreme processor. Th non-X model is equipped with a Ryzen Z2 A processor, which is comparable in performance to the Steam Deck's APU.

Steam Deck 256GB LCD Edition

For Cyber Monday, Steam has discounted its base model with a 7" 1280x800 LCD display and 256GB of storage to $319.99, a 20% discount from its $400 list price. If you're pinching pennies, you won't find a less expensive gaming handheld PC. Every Steam Deck is equipped with the same processor, so the base model will still run games just as smoothly as the highest end $650 system. You can also upgrade the storage yourself with some technical know-how.

The HP Cyber Monday Sale Has Better OMEN Gaming Laptop Deals Than Black Friday

2 décembre 2025 à 02:30

If you're looking to transition from a gaming desktop to something more portable, now is the time to do so. Modern day gaming laptops today are truly "gaming-worthy", with the most powerful models able to play the latest games at super high resolutions and with ray tracing enabled, a notion that was unheard of just a few years ago. Prices have risen over the years, but all it takes is Cyber Monday to negate that trend.

The HP Cyber Monday Sale is nearly over, but there's still time for gamers looking for a laptop upgrade to find plenty of deals right up their alley. OMEN Transcend and OMEN MAX gaming laptops are all on sale right now with discounts of up to $1,500 off. Score an affordable yet capable RTX 5060 laptop for under $1,000 or splurge on an RTX 5080 powerhouse that will still keep you under $2,000. Every deal I've chosen for this list offers a lot of value for your money.

OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Laptop for $1,299.99

Lower than Black Friday

HP just dropped the price of the OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Laptop to just $1,299.99 after an extra $50 off coupon code "STUFFING50". Specs include a 16" 1920x1200 display, your choice of Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX or AMD Ryzen AI 7 H350 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. This system can be customized if any of the specs aren't to your liking. I'd recommend upgrading to the 2560x1600 OLED display for an extra $150. The RTX 5070 Ti is a powerful mobile GPU that should easily handle even the latest demanding games on the laptop's 2K display. It's better than the RTX 4080 especially with DLSS 4.

OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5080 Gaming Laptop for $1,799.99

Lower than Black Friday

If you want something even more powerful, then check out this OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5080 gaming laptop for $1,799.99 with free shipping after $1,400 in instant discounts and $100 off code "GOBBLE100". Aside from the GPU, this laptop has been upgraded with a higher resolution 16" 2560x1600 display, a more powerful and higher core-count Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, and double the RAM and storage. The RTX 5080 is an absolute monster of a mobile GPU that surpasses the previous generation's top performer, the RTX 4090. You could even enable ray tracing!

OMEN MAX 16" RTX 5060 Gaming Laptop for $975

Lower than Black Friday

If your budget limits you to under $1,000, don't fret because you can still get yourself a powerful gaming laptop with excellent build quality. This OMEN MAX 16 configuration cost just $974.99 after an $800 instant discount and $25 off code "GRAVY25". It features a 16" 1920x1200 165Hz IPS display, AMD Ryzen AI 7 H350 processor, GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The RTX 5060 is about 15%-20% more powerful than the RTX 4060 that it replaces and approaches the performance of the RTX 4070, especially with DLSS 4 enabled.

OMEN Transcend 14 RTX 5060 Gaming Laptop for $1150

Lower than Black Friday

The OMEN Transcend 14 is HP's thinnest and lightest gaming laptop, measuring just 0.71" thin and weighing in at about 3.6 pounds (about as thin and light as the much pricier Razer Blade 14). Right now you can get it for as low as $1,249.99 for Black Friday after a $750 off instant discount. It's equipped with a gorgeous 14" 2880x1800 OLED display, efficient Intel Core Ultra 7 255H CPU, GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, 16GB of LPDDR5X onboard RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. Note that the RTX 5060 GPU is slightly throttled (lower TGP rating) to prevent overheating in such a slim enclosure.
