Genshin Impact's annual Lantern Rite in-game event is going on right now, coinciding with the actual Chinese New Year, which lands on February 17. In celebration of the event, Secretlab has discounted two Genshin themed chairs inspired by Liyue characters: Xiao, an anemo adeptus, and Ningguang, the geo-wielding Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing (she's basically a royal). This is the first time a Genshin chair has gone on sale, so if you're a Hoyoverse superfan, don't miss it.

Secretlab's flagship Titan Evo Nanogen is also on sale

The Titan Evo Nanogen Edition is Secretlab's highest end chair and is rarely discounted. It normally sells for $799 at Secretlab direct, but both the white and black colors have been discounted by $50 during the Presidents Day Sale. If your budget can accomodate it, this is the best gaming chair. In our recent Titan Evo Nanogen Edition review, Chris Coke wrote that "the Secretlab Titan Evo Nanogen Edition deserves every bit of the overwhelming praise I’ve given... The Titan Evo Nanogen Edition is class-leading, and is hands-down the most comfortable gaming chair I’ve ever used."

Sadly, Titan Evo Pokemon Edition preorders aren't discounted

Secretlab's recently announced lineup of Pokémon gaming chairs is, not surprisingly, still listed at full price. Even so, these chairs are so cool that they're worth a mention. These chairs showcase one of three iconic Pokémon - Gengar, Pikachu, and Eevee - with ostentatious use of color, patterns, and figures. My personal favorite is the Eevee edition, with its detailed embossing of Eevee's myriad evolutions; it also seems to be the top seller, since it's already on its third wave of preorders.

Unusual for a collab, Secretlab opted to go with its Softweave Plus fabric instead of leatherette, and I for one am happy with that decision. Fabric ages more gracefully, feels softer, and doesn't stick to your sweaty skin on hot days.

Save $30 off the Titan Evo recliner add-on (it's worth it)

Also on sale for the first time, Secretlab's new recliner add-on is $30 off for Christmas. This is a nice upgrade for anyone who already owns the Titan Evo chair. In our recliner add-on review, Chris Coke wrote that "while both comfort and value are subjective things, the recliner is able to take the Titan Evo and transform it from one of the best racing style gaming chairs to standing head and shoulders above the competition at its price point."

Secretlab Magnus deals are also on sale, including Genshin

Not only are the Magnus and Magnus Pro discounted for Presidents Day, you also get the desk mat topper (your choice of style) free of charge. The Magnus is a traditional fixed-frame gaming desk while the Magnus Pro ups the ante with practical electric sit-stand functionality. Both desks feature a metal desktop surface, solid steel frame, and clever cable management, but the Magnus Pro has some unique features including a power cable that runs internally inside one of the telescoping legs and an in-line control panel. Check out our Magnus Pr0 review review for hands-on impressions.

Secretlab has the best "racing-style" gaming chairs

It's no secret that we love our Secretlab gaming chairs. Three of the eight chairs in our best gaming chair roundup are Secretlab models. Of all the gaming chairs we covered in our "Budget to Best" roundup video earlier this year, my colleague Akeem Lawanson considered the Secretlab Titan Evo to be the most comfortable. No good chair comes cheap and Secretlab chairs definitely cost a premium, but we think the craftsmanship, materials, and customizability are worth it.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D boasts a max boost clock of 5.2GHz with 8 cores, 16 threads, and 104MB of L2-L3 cache. What really makes it excel in games, however, is the 3D-V-Cache technology that's only found in AMD's X3D lineup. Despite being the least expensive processor in this stack, the 9800X3D performs nearly identically in games compared to its more expensive siblings. It has the fewest number of cores, but that doesn't matter for gaming. On Passmark, the 9800X3D has the second highest gaming score, trailing a mere 300 points behind the considerably pricier 9900X3D.

Note that there's a new 9850X3D that's now available. We reviewed it and, short answer, you're not missing out.

Crimson Desert is an upcoming open-world RPG for the PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X platforms that will be released on March 19. The studio, Pearl Abyss, also created the popular MMORPG Black Desert. Whereas Black Desert was a free-to-play game with microtransactions and gacha elements, Crimson Desert will be a primarily offline single-player experience with a retail price of $69.99. Getting it for free with your CPU upgrade, then, is a great perk.

The Switch 2 console was released on June 5, 2025. It is backwards compatible with nearly all Switch games as well as the original Joy-Cons and Switch Pro controller, although the new Switch 2 controllers offer more functionality. In his Nintendo Switch 2 review, Tom Marks sums up the Switch 2 as "a vital but unexciting upgrade to a console I already love."

At this point, several major Switch 2 video games have been released: Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and more recently, Kirby Air Riders and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. Several triple-A ports are also available, including Cyberpunk 2077 and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, making the Switch 2 a veritable competitor to pricier handheld gaming PCs. The Switch 2 hardware is powerful enough to run these games at a very playable clip, something that was impossible on the original Switch's increasingly outdated hardware. Whereas there was "nothing" to play when the Switch 2 was originally released, there are now plenty of reasons to finally justify an upgrade.

The UZNY tire inflator and air compressor features an internal lithium-ion battery. Cordless inflators are much more convenient to use because they don't need to be plugged in and can be charged with a standard USB Type-C cable. The compressor is rated for a maximum pressure of 150 PSI and can refill a 195/65 R15 tire from 28 to 36 PSI in under one minute. It also has an essential auto-stop feature to prevent you from dangerously overfilling your tires.

Like most tire inflators, this model can also be used as a cordless compressor to inflate other things as well, like bicycle tires, balls, inflatables, and more. The digital display is easy to read and can switch among four different units of measurements: psi, kpa, bar and kg/cm². It's also equipped with a USB output so that it can be used as an impromptu power bank to charge your phone or mobile electronics in a pinch.

Most people will get this tire inflator to keep their tires topped up, however, it will come in handy during the real emergencies when you get a flat. If your tire has a puncture, there's no point filling it back up if it's going to leak again, so be sure you also have a tire patch kit on hand so you can patch small holes yourself and save some money.

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.

The Predator Helios is Acer's highest end 16" gaming laptop and you'd be hard pressed to find anything (portable) that can beat it in gaming performance. The glossy OLED display features a 2560x1600 (189ppi) resolution with 240Hz refresh rate, G-Sync support, and 100% DCI-P3 color accuracy. The system is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, GeForce RTX 5090 24GB mobile GPU, 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM, and a 2TB SSD. Since this is a newer 2025 model, it also supports the Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 standards.

The GeForce RTX 5090 is without doubt the fastest mobile GPU you can get

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is the most powerful mobile graphics card on the market, performing about 15% better than the RTX 5080. It also has more VRAM (24GB vs 16GB), which can come in handy when playing games at higher resolutions (like on an attached 4K monitor) or if you're planning to use this as a mobile creator or AI workstation. VRAM is in high demand right now, so getting 24GB of GDDR7 in a sub-$3K laptop sounds like a great "deal".

Note that a laptop GPU is not a direct 1:1 performance comparison to its desktop variant. For example, a mobile RTX 5090 is not as powerful as a desktop RTX 5090. Instead, a mobile RTX 5090 is comparable in performance to an RTX 5070 Ti. If you think about it, that makes sense because the mobile RTX 5090 has a TGP of 150W compared to a whopping 575W for the desktop RTX 5090. Shame on Nvidia for using very misleading nomenclature, but whatever the case, you can't really complain about having an RTX 5070 ti equivalent GPU in a gaming laptop.

The Samsung Odyssey OLED G5 (G50SF) is a 2025 model 27" display with a 2560x1440 or QHD resolution, measuring out to a respectable pixel density of 108ppi. It's equipped with a quantum dot OLED panel that boasts a near-instantaneous 0.03ms response time, near infinite contrast ratio, and true black levels. QD OLED panels are considered better than traditional W-OLED panels because they are brighter and offer a wider color gamut.

This monitor also features a fast 180Hz refresh rate and Nvidia G-Sync compatibility. If you pair it with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card or higher, you should be able to hit that 180fps ceiling on older games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Valorant. For newer games like Battlefield 6 or Black Ops 7, you might need to step up to an RTX 5070 Ti or Radeon 9070 XT to achieve that 180fps ceiling. The display comes equipped with both DisplayPort and HDMI ports.

As mentioned earlier, this monitor has a 3 year warranty that includes OLED burn-in coverage. That's still pretty uncommon across most OLED brands, especially when you're looking at the less expensive models. Most come with just a 1 year warranty with no burn-in protection.

The release of the Arc Ultra doesn't make the Arc any less of a great 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.

Pair it with a subwoofer to round out the low end

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.

The Sonos Arc Ultra soundbar is discounted by $200

The Arc Ultra is Sonos' best soundbar speaker, replacing last year's Arc model. Although it is a lot more expensive, you can say that the price premium is justified. Whereas the Sonos Arc was a 5.0.2 channel soundbar, the Arc Ultra ups the ante to 9.1.4 channels. It now has a built in four-motor, dual-membrane Sound Motion woofer to help fill out the low end if you don't want to add in a discrete sub. Check out our own Sonos Arc Ultra review.

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 latest Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop is definitely one of the thinnest and lightest gaming laptops, measuring 0.63" thick and weighing in at under 3.5 pounds. It features a gorgeous 14" 3K 120Hz ROG Nebula OLED display, AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 1TB NVEMe SSD. The entire shell is made of CNC-milled aluminum construction keeps the weight down and features premium accents like a huge glass touchpad.

The G14 is for anyone who wants a thin and light laptop that can be brought anywhere as a daily driver, but still with the power to play games. The RTX 5070 Ti discrete graphics is capable of playing just about any game on the display's upgraded 2880x1800 resolution, especially if the game supports DLSS 4.5 (which most new games do nowadays). This is about as powerful of a GPU you can get while maintaining a slim footprint. Most RTX 5080/5090 gaming laptops are huge.

I'll start off with a great deal on one of the more unique products, to say the least. mFish's "Aroma Bee" charging cable is down to just $4.24 from its original $16 list price. These cables are thicker than your standard USB cable but in a good way; they look and feel more durable, but they still bend well and comes in fun colors like pastel pink, blue, or purple. I'll mention that the "liquid silicone" sheath that mfish uses feels ultra silky smooth to the touch, and it's much nicer than any other silicone cable I've used before. They're terminated with RGB illuminated aluminum alloy connectors for that extra bling factor. It's rated for 240W, which is the max power rating for any USB cable.

What's really unique, though, is that the terminal ends acts as an electric diffuser. You read that right; there's a spot in the cable end to add in a few drops of oil for a little bit of aromatherapy. I believe some diffuser oil is actually included as well. I don't know if I'd use that feature myself, but for $4.24, I can't think of another cable with more features.

Free 4-in-1 USB cable with purchase

E-Monster Qi2 MagSafe Power Banks from $33.99

Free 4-in-1 USB cable with purchase

The mfish E-Monster power bank boasts an eye catching that's bound to turn heads. The decorative side is protected by a textured tempered glass that gives it a much more premium look and feel than the plastic power banks that are all too common nowadays. Both 5,000mAh and 10,000mAh MagSafe models are Qi2 certified and rated for up to 15W of wireless power delivery. There's also a 20W USB Type-C port if you need faster charging.

The 5,000mAh model is very slim, measuring a mere 0.3" thin and weighing 4.4 ounces. It's priced at $33.99 after coupon. The 10,000mAh gives you twice the battery capacity, but it's also considerably thicker and heavier and also includes a built-in kickstand. This model is priced at $49.29 with free shipping after coupon. Both include a 4-in-1 charging cable

E-Tank 240W Power Station for $110.49

Free 4-in-1 USB cable with purchase

Total outputs include three standard 3-prong AC outlets rated for up to 1,250W each and four USB-C ports with 240W maximum power output (140W max for a single port). The three AC outlets are raised and encased in a plastic sheath that can be illuminated to your choice of color. The lights aren't super bright so it won't distract you.

Super Mushroom 20,000mAh Modular Power Bank from $80

Connect two together for 40,000mAh of power

One of the more innovative mfish products is its Super Mushroom 20,000mAh 100W modular power bank. It boasts a cylindrical design with a translucent plastic outer casing that showcases the stylish lithium battery cells inside. What's really neat is that two of these power banks can be stacked together to form a single unit with a 40,000mAh capacity.

The coupon code doesn't work on this product because there's already an instant discount. The $99.99 sku drops to $80 in-cart and includes a single 20,000mAh power bank.

The Ecoflow River 3 is a truly portable power station that weighs in at under 8 pounds and is 30% more compact than its River 2 precedessor. The AliExpress model has a slightly lower 230Wh capacity compared to the 245Wh on Amazon. Other than that, the two are identical; it has two 300W (600W surge) AC outlets, one 100W USB Type-C port, and two 18W USB Type-A ports. The River 3 can be recharged using traditional AC from 0% to 100% in only one hour.

The River 3 uses LiFePO4 cells, which are safer and retain their charge longer than other lithium battery types. The 230Whr battery is meant for lower powered electronics like your PC or laptop, phone, tablet, or just about anything else that doesn't use too much electricity (ideally under 200W). Power hungry electronics and appliances won't last long.

Although the River 3 is typically used as a mobile backup power solution when you have no available grid power, it can also work as an always-on passthrough AC power strip. It has an EPS function that will automatically swap to battery power when there is a power outage. The shutoff delay is less than 10ms, which is fast enough for even sensitive electronics like PCs to remain powered on during the switchover.

More Powerful Alternative: Ecoflow River 2 Max Power Station

If you want a portable backup with a higher capacity, check out the Ecoflow River 2 Max, which is currently on sale for $234.35 after you apply code: "USSS30". The River 2 Max boasts a much higher 499Wh capacity with four AC outlets capable of 500W (1,000W surge) apiece. Like the River 3, this model also uses safe and more efficient LiFePO4 batteries. It weighs in at 13.5 pounds, so it's still easy to move from place to place, and comes with a 5 year warranty.

The SHOKZ OpenRun Pro is more headphone than earbud, with a lightweight titanium band connecting the two ear pieces and wrapping around the back of your head. It does an excellent job of keeping everything in place, which is important because the buds need to be positioned precisely. Instead of the traditional method of sending sound vibrations to your eardrums, the OpenRun Pro uses bone conduction technology to send vibrations through your cheekbones directly to your inner ear. As such, the headphones are actually placed in front of your ear instead of on your ear. The biggest advantage is that you can fully hear your surroundings; if you like running on the street, for example, you'll be aware of everything that's going on around you and still be able to hear your music perfectly well.

The OpenRun Pros offer more bass than the standard OpenRuns. They're IP5 rated to withstand sweat, dust, and grime. You'll get up to ten hours of continuous playback on a single charge. They also feature multipoint Bluetooth pairing, which means that you can pair it with up to two different devices simultaneously.

I have a pair of AirPods Pro that I use regularly, but I always set them aside for the OpenRun Pros when I run. I can hear my surroundings better than the "Transparency" mode on the AirPods Pro. They also stay in place well even when I develop a good sweat and the sound quality and bass response is quite good.

The updated Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 is also on sale

Best Buy has also dropped the price of the newer Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 to $129.99. The OpenRun Pro 2 features some notable upgrades over its predecessor. The biggest QoL update is the switch from a proprietary magnetic charging cable to the USB Type-C standard. The second big update is improved bass. The new OpenRun Pro 2 utilizes Shok's DualPitch technology to virtually eliminate vibrations so that bass response is cleaner. Smaller changes include slightly increased battery life and improved noise cancelation for the microphone.

The 5th Wheel AB17 bike is an adult electric bike featuring a 500W (700W peak) motor that can get up to speeds of 23mph. The 36V 375Wh lithium battery provides up to 25 miles on electric only mode and up to 45 miles on pedal-assist mode. The actual distance is dependent on other factors like your speed, terrain, elevation, and so forth. The frame is made of carbon steel so it's on the heavier side at about 50 pounds, but it also has a generous weight capacity of 265 pounds. The bike comes 85% preassembled and includes a 1 year warranty. It's also UL 2849 certified for safety.

There are plenty of bikes out there that offer high-quality components, a more powerful motor, better upgradeability, and/or domestic customer support, but only if you're willing to shell out hundreds of dollars more. The 5th Wheel AB17 bike will stay within anybody's budget. It offers a perfectly respectable assisted ride that will satisfy most casual bikers.

Dell is currently offering an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for $2,179.99 with free delivery after a $650 instant discount. This customizable system is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. It's cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooling system. The 1,000W power supply gives you headroom for upgrades down the road. If you're looking for a future-proof system, this RTX 5080 equipped PC should be powerful enough to set you up for 4K gaming for quite a while.

Alienware Area-51 RTX 5090 Gaming PC From $4,300

Alienware's only RTX 5090 equipped gaming PC sees its biggest discount of the year. The Alienware Area-51 Intel Edition RTX 5090 gaming PC starts at just $4,299.99 after an $1,150 discount. Arguably an even better deal is the Alienware Area-51 AMD Ryzen X3D Edition RTX 5090 gaming PC, which drops to $4,449.99.

These are the best deals I've seen for an Area-51 RTX 5090 desktop and beats out 2025 pricing, despite the fact that RAM and GPU prices are on the rise. In fact, as of today, these are the lowest prices for an RTX 5090 prebuilt across all brands and retailers. Once these deals expire, they probably won't resurface for several months.

Alienware 16X Aurora Gaming Laptop From $1,499.99

The Alienware 16X Aurora gaming laptop is on sale at a reasonable price for the first time in 2026. Choose either the Intel Core Ultra 9 / RTX 5060 configuration for $1,499.99 ($470 discount) or the Intel Core Ultra 9 / RTX 5070 configuration for $1,899.99 ($470 discount). The Alienware 16X Aurora is the spiritual successor to the m16 laptop, featuring an all-aluminum build (top lid and chassis), high quality display, and powerful unthrottled discrete graphics.

Get a 24" Monitor for Just $63 With Any PC Purchase

The 24" Dell SE2425HM might not be the premier monitor you'd want to be using for gaming, but it's a good secondary or backup monitor to have on hand, especially for the price you can get it at. Purchase any PC and you can get an extra 30% off its current sale price of $89.99, dropping it to $62.99. Just make sure you add it to the same cart as your PC and you should see the discount automatically applied. The SE2425HM features a 1080p 100Hz IPS panel.

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 airflow. This is the only model that Dell allows you to configure with the hot and power hungry GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card (the Aurora R16 doesn't give you this option). The first wave of Area-51 systems featured Intel CPUs exclusively, with AMD X3D options released much later in November.

Depending on the configuration you choose, you're getting either an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F or AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card, 32GB or DDR5-6400MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Most of these specs are customizable. 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.

The Core Ultra 7 is a good gaming CPU, but the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is better

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 is an excellent processor that will perform well in both games and productivity tasks, thanks to its 5.3GHz max turbo frequency and 20 cores. You can also upgrade to the Ultra 7 265K for just $50.

However, if you want plan to get this rig specifically for gaming, then the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is considered to be one of the best gaming processors and outperforms any Intel or AMD non-X3D chip in games thanks to AMD's 3D-V-Cache technology. For only $150 price premium, it's worth the upgrade.

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 $250.

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 four recommended plan tiers are as follows:

• Basic - HP Envy inkjet printer with 20 pages of printing for $7.99/mo
• Versatile - HP Envy Photo inkjet printer with 20 pages of printing for $9.99/mo
• High-Volume - HP Smart Tank with 100 pages of printing for $12.99/mo
• Professional - HP OfficeJet Pro with 50 pages of printing for $14.99/mo

The "High Volume" plan is marketed as the best value. It includes the HP Smart Tank 7602 all-in-one printer (retails for $470) and up to 100 pages of monthly printing. At $12.99 per month, it's not much more expensive than the "Basic" and "Versatile" plans. The one caveat is that it requires a three year commitment compared to two years for the other plans. Fortunately, HP offers a 30-day trial period during which you have the option to return your printer.

Is the HP All-In Plan worth it?

The big question is whether or not HP's All-In Plan is worth it in the first place. We can first break this out monetarily. The "High Volume" plan will run you $12.99 per month for 3 years, or a grand total of $467.64. As mentioned above, the printer you get retails for $469.99. That's about the same cost, but there are other factors to consider.

By buying the printer outright, you could probably find a discount. For example, it's currently on sale at Amazon for $349.99, saving you $120 right off the bat. Also, after 3 years, you'll still own the printer so that you can use it for many years after. If you subscribe to the plan, then you're out of a printer after 3 years unless you re-enroll.

However, by signing up for the plan, you avoid having to pay $400+ instantly, which is replaced by a more manageable monthly fee. You also essentially get three years of 24/7 live support and warranty service, as opposed to just one year if you bought the printer outright. You don't need to pay for ink during the life of the subscription. This is important because ink refills can get pricey very quickly to the point where it's often cheaper to just buy a new printer. You're also not stuck with the same printer forever. After the term ends, you can either choose to continue using your current printer or upgrade to a newer, current generation model.

All things considered, it really depends on your situation. If you can justify the upfront cost, you plan to keep the same printer for more than three years, and you feel comfortable enough sourcing your own ink, then just buy your own printer. If you'd rather stick with the convenience of letting HP worry about the printer along with its refills and maintenance, and you know that you can stay within the monthly printing allotment, then it's worth checking it out.

There's no need to pay $500 for the Bowflex SelectTech adjustable dumbbells when there are equally well-built options at a much lower price point. For a limited time, FED Fitness is offering its own DB1 Adjustable Dumbbells (52.5 pounds each or 105 pounds total) for about $315 with free delivery.

Each FED Fitness DB1 dumbbell is adjustable from 5 pounds all the way up to 52.5 pounds. The adjustment mechanism works similarly to the Bowflex SelectTech series; you turn a dial in 2.5 or 5 pound increments which locks in a specific combination of plates that add up to the desired weight. Unlike traditional free weights that take up a decent chunk of space, these adjustable dumbbells are neatly contained in a compact package that measures just 16" square.

Flybird WB6 Foldable Adjustable Weight Bench

The Flybird WB6 weight bench would make a great complement to the dumbbells. It's 96% pre-assembled out of the box so you can set it up in just a few minutes. This robust bench boasts a maximum weight capacity of 880 pounds and plenty of adaptability options, including 120 degrees of incline for the set back, 25 degrees of incline for the seat cushion, and 86 degrees of incline for the leg rollers. The bench also folds completely flat for compact storage.

Sportsroyal PT4 Assisted Power Tower

The Sportsroyal PT4 is FED's highest end and most feature-rich power tower, yet it still comes in at under $300 after coupons are applied. It's the perfect way to work on your pull-ups, dips, and leg raises. If you can't do several pull-ups in quick succession, this power tower will help you get there thanks to weight assistance for pull-ups and dips. The counter-balance is provided by a nylon rope system; each rope offers 22 pounds of weight and they can be added or removed to adjust the total amount of resistance. This pull-up machine also offers ample adjustment options to cater to different sizes.

Yosuda TM2 Foldable Brushless Treadmill

Foldable and Easy-to-Assemble

Nothing beats the convenience of a treadmill when you're trying to get your steps in. FED's Yosuda TM2 model goes a step further by offering a steel unibody z-frame design that can fold flat and easily stows away when you're not using it. The 1.25HP brushless motor is smooth and silent and offers a top speed of 8.7 miles and up to 18% motorized incline. The 18" wide track has shock absorbing pads to keep your joints in check, since running is harder on your knees than other forms of cardio. Many people shudder at the thought of installing a treadmill, but fortunately FED states that the Yosuda TM2 assembles in eight easy steps with a grand total of just 14 screws. Talk about a relief!

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 one of the best gaming processors 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.

The Lenovo Legion Tower 5 Gen 10 gaming PC is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F desktop processor, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 2TB M.2 SSD. The Core Ultra 7 265F is part of Intel's newest Arrow Lake-S lineup released earlier this year and boasts a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 36MB L2 cache. This is a solid all-around CPU for gaming, multi-tasking, and general workstation performance. It doesn't have as many cores as a Core Ultra 9 processor, but that doesn't matter for gaming since the vast majority of games will not be able to utilize more than 20 cores.

The RTX 5070 Ti GPU offers great 4K performance without pricing gamers out

The RTX 5070 Ti offers the best bang for your buck in terms of 4K gaming performance. It performs neck-and-neck with the previous generation RTX 4080 Super and pulls ahead in any game that supports multi-frame generation, especially with the recent DLSS 4.5 update. It is fully capable of running any game in 4K at 60fps. It also has 16GB of VRAM like the RTX 5080, making it viable for AI work. Since RTX 5070 Ti GPUs are pretty much non-existent as a standalone card, the only way to get one without paying a ridiculous markup is by getting an equipped prebuilt computer.

The Arc Ultra is Sonos' best soundbar and its flagship speaker

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.

The Arc Ultra and Sub 4 are the perfect Dolby Atmos matchup

The audio savvy knows that a single speaker isn't enough to reproduce an entire soundstage. If you could pick only one other speaker, then a subwoofer would make the most meaningful impact. Given how the Arc Ultra excels at the highs and mids, the subwoofer addition would be a no-brainer. The Sub 4 features dual inward-facing 5"x8" woofers and a traditional ported design that allows for a louder and deeper low-end. It also has much more power than the Sub Mini and can reverberate the walls of any sized room in your house. There's no better complement to the Arc Ultra.
