You Can Configure a Dell Tower Plus RTX 5070 Ti Prebuilt Gaming PC for Just $1,720

Dell currently has the best price I can find currently for an RTX 5070 Ti equipped prebuilt gaming PC. The Dell Tower Plus can be configured with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU and GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB GPU for just $1,719.99 with free delivery. This desktop's aesthetic doesn't scream "gamer PC" like most of the other computers I write about, but that processor and graphics card combo is powerful enough to run just about any game at up to 4K resolution.

Dell Tower Plus RTX 5070 Ti Gaming PC for $1,720

The $1,719.99 configuration includes an Intel Core Ultra 7 265 CPU, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The 750W power supply gives you a fair amount of headroom for future upgrades. Note that the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 CPU comes with "standard CPU cooling" which consists of a pretty basic and low-profile top-down heatsink fan combo. If you upgrade to the Core Ultra 7 265K for an extra $100, you also get the "advanced CPU cooling" option which includes a much more robust tower heatsink fan that compares to aftermarket solutions. It would be a worthwhile upgrade if you plan on sustained high-demand gaming with this rig.

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.

Flashforge Adventurer 5M CoreXY 3D Printer for $176.63

The Adventurer 5M is Flashforge's least expensive CoreXY printer across its entire product lineup. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find another CoreXY printer from any well-regarded brand. In a CoreXY printer, only the print head moves while the motors are fixed in place. Since the motors are often the heaviest component, this improves print speed and precision.

The Adventurer 5M features an open bed design with a build volume measuring approximately 8.7" cubed. For those of you who are looking to enclose the chamber in order to create a more stable environment for your prints, you can purchase the official kit for $39.99 that can turn it into a closed chamber setup. Alternatively, you can just build yourself a big box that you can place over the entire printer, probably for an even cheaper price.

The Adventurer 5M boasts a print speed of up to 600mm/s with 20,000mm/s² acceleration and can print a benchy in 14 minutes. The high-flow 32mm³/s nozzle with 280°C direct extruder can warm up to 200°C in as fast as 35 seconds for smooth and stable filament dispensing.

  • CoreXY 3D printer (more stable than other types)
  • 600mm/s print speed with 20,000mm/s² acceleration
  • Auto leveling and vibration compensation
  • Easy assembly

The Baseus 100W Multi-Port USB Charger Packs a Handy Digital Display for Just $30

From portable gaming handhelds to smartphones, our lives rely on portable, untethered electronics, and it can't hurt to always have a charger on hand. Amazon is currently offering a Baseus Picogo AE21 100W 3-port USB Type-C wall charger for just $29.99 after you apply coupon code "8O3OICC2". You actually do not need to be an Amazon Prime member to get this deal. This diminutive adapter can fast charge even the most power hungry handheld gaming PCs like the ROG Xbox Ally X and features a handy digital display.

Baseus Picogo 100W USB-C Wall Charger for $29.99

Amazon Prime membership not needed

This charger is part of Baseus' compact Picogo lineup and measures a compact 2.6" x 1.3" x 2.1". Despite the diminutive size, it's still able to pack in three charging ports: two 100W USB Type-C and one 33W USB Type-A. Note that the maximum output for all three ports is 100W, so if you used both USB-C ports at time same time, you would pull 67W + 33W. This model also has a digital display that provides a detailed view of charging status, temperature, and port output.

The 100W of USB-C Power Delivery is higher than what I typically see at this price point. This charger has a higher output than the stock adapters that come packaged with power hungry handheld gaming PCs like the Xbox Ally X, ROG Ally X, Legion Go S, and Legion Go 2; even though these handhelds support up to 100W charging rates, they're supplied with 60W max charging adapters. It's also compatible with devices like the Steam Deck and Switch 2 that can only accept a lower rate, since the charger only delivers as much power as the device allows. This is also a great charger for the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max or Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, which cap out at 40W and 60W, respectively.

Save $700 Off the Lenovo Legion RTX 5070 Ti Gaming PC, Now Just $1,899 at B&H Photo

B&H Photo has one of the best deals right now on a 4K-ready gaming PC. The Lenovo Legion Tower 5 RTX 5070 Ti gaming PC drops to just $1,899 with free delivery after an $700 discount. Most RTX 5070 Ti prebuilts cost above $2,000 these days, so this is one of the lowest prices I've seen. The RTX 5070 Ti is our best reviewed Nvidia GeForce Blackwell card and has the chops to run games in glorious 4K at 60+fps.

Lenovo Legion RTX 5070 Ti Gaming PC for $1,899

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.

Alienware Area-51 16 Gaming Laptops with RTX 50 Series GPUs Have Been Restocked at Dell Outlet

The Alienware Area-51 16 is Dell's highest-end 16" gaming laptop. Much like every gaming laptop on the market, prices have gone up in 2026 due to the increased demand for RTX 50 series GPUs and DDR5 RAM, but fortunately there's still a reliable way to get a good deal if you know where to look.

Dell Outlet - Dell's official site for Dell and Alienware refurbished, scratch and dent, and clearance PCs - just recently restocked its inventory of Alienware Area-51 16 laptops equipped with RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090 GPUs. These have been factory inspected and certified to work and look brand new and even include the same warranty as buying a retail product. Like a retail product, you also have the option to extend the base warranty up to three years if desired.

Alienware Area-51 16" RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Laptop

Although the Alienware Area-51 can be equipped with an RTX 5060 or 5070 GPU, at its price tier you really shouldn't be targeting gaming performance lower than an RTX 5070 Ti. The RTX 5070 Ti 12GB GPU is the least expensive card in Nvidia's mobile RTX 50 series lineup that I'd recommend for running most games smoothly on the display's 2560x1600 resolution. It performs about 15%-20% better than the RTX 5070. Compared to the previous generation, it's comparable in performance to the RTX 4080 and pulls ahead of it in games that support DLSS 4.5 and multi-frame generation. Compared to desktop GPUs, it's similar in performance to the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB model.

Alienware Area-51 16" RTX 5080 Gaming Laptop

The RTX 5080 is a 15%-20% uplift in performance over the RTX 5070 Ti. It also has more VRAM (16GB vs 12GB) which gives it the edge in higher resolution gaming, ray tracing performance, and AI applications. In fact, it's slightly more powerful than the RTX 4090, which was the previous generation's flagship card. Compared to desktop GPUs, it's similar in performance to the RTX 5070. This is the GPU I'd recommend for most people who want to run just about any game out there at 2560x1600 and 60fps with minimal tweaking. Obviously the RTX 5090 is better, but it's way pricier.

Alienware Area-51 16" RTX 5090 Gaming Laptop

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 a lot 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. Compared to desktop GPUs, it's similar in performance to the RTX 5070 Ti. If you want to run any game out there with all of the bells and whistles enabled, including ray tracing, then this configuration will get it done.

The Area-51: new color, curvy design, metal construction, and upgraded cooling

The Alienware Area-51 is a considerable upgrade compared to the previous generation's Alienware m16. For starters, it's clad in anodized aluminum for both the lid and bottom chassis and features a unique iridescent finish that sparkles in direct lighting. 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. Dell claims that it can handle 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. There's also plenty of RGB illumination, although most of it can be turned off if you don't like that sort of thing.

The Massive 77" Panasonic Z85 4K OLED TV with Amazon Fire TV Drops to Just $1,399.99 Shipped

Here's a rare chance to pick up a massive, current generation, higher-end OLED TV at a bargain price. Amazon is currently offering the 2025 77" Panasonic Z85BA 4K OLED Smart TV with Amazon Fire TV for just $1,399.99 with free delivery. This is the lowest price I've seen for this particular model and ties the lowest price for any 77" OLED TV across all brands (the 77" LG B5 TV also dropped to this price in early 2025, but the Z85BA is a superior TV). The Amazon marketplace seller Beach Camera is an authorized Panasonic reseller with a physical retail storefront.

2025 77" Panasonic Z85BA 4K OLED Fire TV for $1399.99

The Panasonic Z85BA is a 2025 TV that uses Panny's updated Master OLED PRO panel, which is an LG-sourced W-OLED panel (possibly LG's newer OLED EX panel similar to the ones found in the LG Evo C-series TVs) paired with Panasonic's own processor. Because this is a true OLED TV, the Z85BA boasts near instantaneous response time, near infinite contrast ratio, and true blacks. It's superior to any other panel type (LED, Mini-LED, etc) in nearly every scenario.

Thanks to its native 144Hz refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 ports, the Z85BA is a perfect match for consoles like the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X that can run games in 4K at 120fps or higher. It's a great TV for the Switch 2 as well, since the console is locked at 60fps when running games in 4K. The Z85BA also has other convenient gaming features that are present in most modern day TVs such as variable refresh rate and auto low latency mode.

Per the norm, the best way to score a deal on a preorder is through your preferred service provider. Total Wireless, a prepaid no-contract carrier owned by Verizon, has already listed the new iPhone 17e for preorder on its site. Better yet, there's a promotion going on right now that gets you this phone "on us" with no port-in or trade-in required.

No trade-in or port-in required

Preorder the Apple iPhone 17e smartphone through Total Wireless by Verizon and save the entire retail price of the phone ($599.99). You'll save $300 instantly and an extra $299.99 off in bill credits over 12 months when you sign up for a new line on the Total 5G+ Unlimited plan. Trade-in and port-in are not required and there are zero activation fees.

Other perks include Disney+ Premium (ad-free) subscription and unlimited mobile hotspot. International travelers can benefit from unlimited roaming to 30+ countries including Canada, Mexico, South Korea, China, Japan, and more.

This is a solid deal once you calculate all the fees

A standalone unlocked iPhone 17e costs $599 at the Apple Store. With this deal you're getting the iPhone 17e and one year of Total Wireless' best talk, text, and data plan for $720. In other words, you're only paying $120 ($10 per month) for one year of service, with Disney+ Premium thrown in for good measure. That's a great price no matter how you look at it.

Not only that, Total Wireless unlocks your smartphone after 12 months of active service, which means after this plan is up, the iPhone 17e is yours to keep and you can switch plans and even networks. As long as you are happy with Verizon's reception in your location (very important), you'll save money in the long run with this plan.

Save $1,000 Off the Massively Powerful Acer Predator Helios 18" RTX 5090 Gaming Laptop

If you're in the market for the biggest and baddest mobile desktop replacement at a not-so-otherworldy price, then check out this week's Best Buy deal. Right now you can pick up the Acer Predator Helios 18 gaming laptop equipped with an 18" display and RTX 5090 GPU for $3,499.99 with free shipping after a $1,000 instant discount.

There aren't very many 18" gaming laptops around, and even fewer that are equipped with the RTX 5090 mobile GPU. Of the ones that are available for purchase at the moment, this is currently the least expensive deal. In fact, this is the only model I've found with a price tag under $4,000. Take a look at its competition (and note some of these are sale prices):

Acer Predator Helios 18 RTX 5090 Gaming Laptop for $3,500

The Predator Helios is Acer's highest end 18" gaming laptop and you'd be hard pressed to find anything (portable) that can beat it in gaming performance. The 18" Mini-LED display boasts a 3840x2400 (252ppi) resolution with 240Hz refresh rate, G-Sync support, and 1,000 nits of max brightness. The system is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, GeForce RTX 5090 24GB mobile GPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 2TB SSD. Since this is a newer 2025 model, it also supports the Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 standards and has Thunderbolt 5 ports.

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. This is the only mobile GPU currently available that can run most games at 60+fps on the laptop's greater-than-4K resolution display.

It's important to note that, in most cases, 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 more comparable in performance to a desktop 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.

Get a 2-Pack of 6.6ft USB Type-C Cables for $5.60 ($2.80 Per Cable)

USB Type-C has become the standard for charging and data cables alike, so it's good to have extra on hand. Amazon is offering a two-pack of Lisen 6.6ft 240W USB Type-C cables for just $5.60 after you apply coupon code "LISEN240W". That averages out to $2.80 per cable. USB-C cables typically go for about $10 each at your local big box store. Use these to charge or sync any device with a USB-C port, including your Nintendo Switch 2, iPhone 16, or even a laptop.

2-Pack of Lisen 6.6ft 240W USB Type-C Cables for $5.60

Keep your cable collection simple. These cables measure 6.6 feet in length, which is a great general purpose length: long enough to still be able to use your device while the cable is plugged in, but not so long as to be an unnecessary nuisance. These cables are also rated for up to 240W of power delivery, which means they can be used to charge even high powered electronics like your laptop. They're encased in a braided nylon sheath for extra durability and aeshetics. Lisen claims that they've been lab tested for up to 40,000+ bends and 175lb tensile pulls, "equivalent to a decade of daily extreme use". These cables have 5,000 ratings on Amazon with an average 4.6 star rating.

Get a 512GB SanDisk Micro SDXC Memory Card (Nintendo Switch Compatible) for Just $39.99

With today's rising demand for memory chips in general, even universally used memory products like MicroSD Express cards are difficult to find at decent prices. Fortunately, Walmart has got you covered, at least for the time being. Currently, you can pick up a 512GB Samsung ImageMate Micro SDXC Card for a very reasonable price of $39.98 with free shipping. An SD card adapter is also included. Note that this can be used as a memory card for most gaming handhelds including the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and ROG Ally, but not the Switch 2.

Note: Availability is based on region. Some zip codes might have more in stock than others.

512GB SanDisk ImageMate Micro SDXC Card for $39.98

If you've started compiling a collection of digital games, you probably already know just how limited the Switch's base storage capacity is. The Switch and Switch OLED have 32GB and 64GB of internal storage, respectively, some of it reserved for the OS. Some games require a huge portion of that space. Examples include Tears of the Kingdom which takes up 16GB of space, Monster Hunter Rise 20GB, Breath of the Wild 13.5GB, and Persona 5 Royal 14GB. There's only one memory card expansion slot in the Switch so you'll want to make sure you get the biggest card you can afford, although most people won't need more than 1TB of additional storage.

The SanDisk ImageMate is compatible with virtually any device that accepts the Micro SDXC card standard, including the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and the ASUS ROG Ally. It has typical U1 A1 transfer speeds (up to 150MBps), which is totally fine for the Switch console, but may be a bit limited when used with devices that require huge on-the fly file transfers such as in 4K action cameras and 4K HDR streaming devices.

Check out all of the best Nintendo Switch deals for sales on other games and accessories.

This card won't be compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2

This card will not be compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2 console, which requires the newer Micro SD Express card format. If you're looking for a deal, there's one on sale right now.

The Anker Prime 26,250mAh Power Bank With 300W Max Output Drops to $125 at Woot

Woot, which is owned by Amazon, is offering a big discount on one of Anker's biggest and most powerful TSA-friendly travel-sized power banks. The Anker Prime A110A 26,250mAh 300W USB Power Bank is available for just $124.99 if you select the "bulk packaging" option (the retail packaging one is $139.99). Shipping costs an extra $5, but it's free for Amazon Prime members. This is for a brand new, not used item which normally retails for $230.

Anker Prime 26,250mAh 300W Power Bank for $125

The Anker Prime is a hefty power bank, measuring 6.3"x1.5"x2.5" and weighing in at 1.3lbs. It has two USB Type-C ports and one USB Type-A port. The maximum total output is 300W: 140W for each USB-C port and 20W for the USB-A port. That's powerful enough to charge even the current Apple MacBook Pro 16" laptop, which accepts up to 140W of charging. It will also easily charge all gaming handheld PCs at their maximum rate, including power hungry ones like the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X and Lenovo Legion Go S which can accept up to 100W of charging.

A 26,250mAh battery equates to a 99.75Whr capacity. An 80% power efficiency rating (which is about standard for power banks) gives you about 80Whr of available charge. That's enough juice to charge the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X, which has an 80Whr battery, from completely empty to completely full. Other handhelds can be charged more than once.

The Anker Prime is TSA-approved, but just barely.

TSA states that power banks must be under 100Whr in capacity for carry-on (check-in is not allowed under any circumstances). This Anker Prime is just barely under that at 99.75Whr, but that is the nominal rating and in real-world testing, it will always be below that. You might get checked simply because the Prime 26,250mAh is a hefty-looking power bank, but you shouldn't have any problems getting it cleared.

Like any proper top-of-the-line headset, the Nova Pro boasts excellent sound quality, all-day comfort thanks to a suspension style headband and leatherette ear cushions, high-performance retractable boom mic, simultaneous 2.4GHz WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, and even active noise cancelation (rare for a gaming headset).

However, the one feature that undoubtedly makes the Nova Pro stand out is the ingenious hot-swappable battery system. The Nova Pro includes two removable, rechargeable batteries so that while one is currently in use in your headset, the other stays topped up in a base station that also doubles as a battery charger. This way, you get wireless freedom with no charge anxiety. Each battery lasts for up to 22 hours of continued use so you don't need to swap out too often.

The base station deserves mention as well. Not only does it charge your battery, it also features a clear and legible OLED display and a handy volume control knob. On the rear are USB inputs for connecting to your PC as well as an optional 3.5mm passthrough should you want to connect your speakers directly to the base station.

The Nova Pro wireless has been my primary gaming headset for years and I absolutely recommend them. I've since upgraded the stock earcups to these aftermarket WC Freeze gel earpads and quite like them as well. Check out our Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro review by Kevin Lee for yet another positive take.

Alienware's Flagship Area-51 Ryzen X3D Edition RTX 5090 Gaming PC Drops to $4,650

If you're seeking chart-topping gaming performance, then Alienware's biggest and most powerful prebuilt desktop computer should be high on your list. For just a few more days the Alienware Area-51 AMD Ryzen 9800X3D Edition RTX 5090 gaming PC has dropped in price from $5,650 all the way down to $4,649.99, a savings of $1,000. Alternatively you can upgrade to the 9950X3D CPU for an additional $300, which comes out to $4,949.99. These are both competitive prices considering the fact that most RTX 5090 prebuilts are currently selling for $5,000 or more.

Alienware Area-51 Ryzen Edition RTX 5090 Gaming PC

The Alienware Area-51 is Dell's flagship gaming PC. The product photos don't give it due justice; this is a big chassis that towers over the Aurora R16 model with superior build quality and a redesigned cooling system with even greater airflow. This is the only model that can be configured 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 $4,450 config is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card, 32GB of 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

...but you can also upgrade to the 9950X3D for a reasonable price

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. It only has eight cores, but that makes no difference in gaming since most games can't utilize more than eight cores (if that) anyways. That's why its gaming performance is nearly identical to the pricier 9900X3d and 9950X3D.

Now if you regularly use your PC for non-gaming applications that actually do 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.

Save $600 Off the Massive 45" LG UltraGear 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor

If it's time to upgrade your gaming monitor, you can't go wrong with an OLED. And if you've got the funds to get the biggest and best, LG's highest-end OLED is the 45" LG UltraGear 45GX950A-B 5K2K gaming monitor. It normally retails for a hefty $2,000, but LG has just discounted it to $1399.99 with free delivery. On the product page under the standard $1,999.99 price you should see "Save Big with Outlet Pricing". Select the discounted outlet price and proceed to cart.

45" LG UltraGear 5K2K Gaming Monitor for $1,399.99

The LG UltraGear 45GX950A-B is the first OLED monitor featuring a 5120x2160 resolution. That averages out to a pixel density of 125ppi, which is excellent for a monitor of this size. As a comparison, a 42" 4K monitor, 34" 3440x1440 monitor, and 27" QHD monitor all have an industry standard 109ppi. Since this is such a wide monitor, it features a fairly aggressive 800R curve for maximum immersion and so you can keep the screen's edge in the periphery of your vision.

The 45GX950A-B uses a true OLED panel that boasts a near-instanteous (0.03ms) response time and a near-infinite (1.5 million:1) contrast ratio with the ability to produce true blacks. OLEDs simply have the best image quality compared to any other panel type, with no smearing, no blooming, no "gray is the new black", and no uneven backlighting or haziness. This is a "dual-mode" monitor with refresh rates of up to 165Hz at 4K and 330Hz at down-scaled 1080p. The monitor also supports adaptic sync technologies including FreeSync Premium Pro and G-Sync.

Current generation connectivity specs include one DisplayPort 2.1 port and two HDMI 1.4 ports. There's also a USB Type-C port with 90W of power delivery. Rare among high end monitors, the 45GX950A-B has built-in speakers and even a 4-pole headphone jack with DTS Headphone:X spatial audio support.

Finally, the monitor comes with a 2-year warranty that includes OLED burn-in coverage.

The New Apple Watch Series 11 Drops to Its Lowest Price Ever on Amazon (Both Sizes)

Amazon just recently dropped the price of the Apple Watch Series 11 back down to the lowest price I've seen. Most colors and styles start at $299 for the 42mm size and $329 for the 46mm size. The Apple Watch is indisputably the best smartwatch for iOS users. It's stylish, boasts excellent build quality, and seamlessly integrates with your iPhone. It's loaded with tons of practical health and fitness features, including activity tracking and heart rate monitoring. The stats from your workouts are automatically recorded and stored onto your iPhone so that you can track your progress.

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

New to the Apple Watch 11th generation model specifically are (1) the Apple Intelligence powered "Workout Buddy" that motivates you during exercise, (2) hypertension notifications, and (3) a sleep score that measures the quality of your sleep. Hardware updates include a brighter and more scratch resistant display, 33% longer battery life, and 5G cellular connectivity.

Can you use an Apple Watch with Android phones?

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

Here Are the Best Asus ROG Xbox Ally X Handheld Gaming PC Deals

The Asus ROG Xbox Ally X is the best Windows gaming handheld PC. No longer do you have to be tethered to your PC or laptop to play your favorite computer games because the Xbox Ally X has the power to run even demanding PC games thanks to the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor. All the miniaturatization comes at a cost, and the Xbox Ally X comes in at $1,000 retail. Fortunately, there are a couple of ways to get a discount by purchasing an import or pre-owned model.

Asus ROG Xbox Ally X from $919.99

Open box - Excellent condition

Best Buy is offering an easy way to get a solid discount on the Xbox Ally X. Ahead of Presidents Day, it has dropped the price of "excellent condition" open box units to $919.99. They're uslaly priced at $950. Mind you these are pre-owned, but they are Geek Squad verified and the best graded (excellent condition) units are in like-new condition cosmetically and often include most or all of its original warranty.

Asus ROG Xbox Ally X for $904.99

Import (brand new) model

AliExpress currently carries imported units for $904.99 after you apply $55 off coupon code "55USAFFS". This is the lowest price I've seen for a new (not used) listing since its release back in October 2025. The Xbox Ally X ships locally from a warehouse in the United States, with most orders being delivered within a week. That means you don't have to worry about tariffs, import fees, or egregiously long shipping times.

The Xbox Ally X Is the New Handheld Gaming PC to Beat

The Asus ROG Xbox Ally X is the most powerful handheld gaming PC you can get. It's equipped with the newest AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor, 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and a 1TB SSD. It runs off the Windows operating system, but with Xbox integration. The nomenclature might be confusing, but the Xbox Ally X is really more of an evolution of the the Asus ROG Ally X handheld than it is an actual Xbox console. Jacqueline Thomas sums it up quite well in her Xbox Ally X review:

Jackie also goes on to say that "the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X is easily the best handheld gaming PC available right now." Compared to other gaming handhelds equipped with the same Z2 Extreme CPU, the Xbox Ally X is actually reasonably priced. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 costs $1,100 and the MSI Claw A8 costs $1,150.

The FlashForge AD5X Is One of the Best Multi-Color 3D Printers Priced Under $300

One of the better regarded 3D printers with multi-color print capability is now priced well under $300. AliExpress is currently offering the FlashForge AD5X 3D Printer with integrated multi-filament printing system for just $279.05 with free delivery after you apply coupon code "35USAFFS". Make sure you're signed into your account to see the shipping options. The exact same printer sells for $340 on Amazon, but it retails for $499.

Note: Sign into your account and then refresh the page to see the shipping options.

You're buying it from FlashForge's official store on AliExpress. It ships free locally from the United States and arrives within 1 to 2 weeks. The AD5X is considered by many to be one of the best multi-color 3D printers priced below $300. It is easy to setup, it produces great 3D prints with minimal fiddling, and there are plenty of mods available including an official kit that fully encloses the chamber and another that adds a camera, all at an affordable price point.

Flashforge AD5X CoreXY Multi-Color 3D Printer for $279

The AD5X is the Flashforge CoreXY printer you want if you're looking for multi-filament (multi-color printing). Most printers in this price range do not have a CoreXY structure. In a CoreXY printer, only the print head moves while the motors are permanently fixed. Since the motors are generally the heaviest component, this improves print speed and precision.

The AD5X features an open bed design with a working space measuring approximately 8.7" cubed. For those of you who are looking to enclose the chamber in order to create a more stable environment for your prints, you can purchase the official kit for $49.99 that can turn it into a closed chamber setup. Alternatively, you can just build yourself a big box that you can place over the entire printer, probably for an even cheaper price.

The AD5X boasts a print speed of up to 600mm/s with 20,000mm/s² acceleration and can print a benchy in 12 minutes. Other features including solid build quality (all structural components are made of metal), a 4.3" color touchscreen with intuitive controls, auto leveling, and vibration compensation. Assembly is quick and easy and you should be able to make your first test print in a matter of minutes. No camera is included but, again, there's an official kit to add one.

The multi-filament module fleshes out the 3D printing capabilities and is one of the most important features for any mid to pro level enthusiast. With it you can print using up to four different colored filaments or filament materials simultaneously. It features an intelligent filament system that can identify and manage all four spools seamlessly and independently. Multi-filament add-ons in general cost $200-$300 by themselves, so having an integrated solution will save you a lot of money.

TL;DR:

  • Open chamber 8.7" cubed working space
  • CoreXY 3D printer (more stable than other types)
  • 600mm/s print speed with 20,000mm/s² acceleration
  • Includes multi-filament printing module
  • Automatic filament switching
  • Auto leveling and vibration compensation
  • Easy assembly

The HP All-in Plan - Get a New Printer and Ink Starting at $7.99 Per Month

If you're in need of at-home printing but you don't want to deal with the upfront cost of buying a printer or the hassle of purchasing ink cartridges when they run out, then HP is offering a plan that might be perfect for you.

HP's All-In Plan is a convenient service that leases you a printer for a low monthly fee. Never run out of ink or printing supplies. You’re always ready to print with ink and optional paper delivery before you need it. There are several plans to choose from, with each offering a different printer and print allotment depending on your needs. The monthly print allotment is flexible, rolls over and can easily be updated on a monthly basis if needed.

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.

AliExpress Has a 1,000W Peak 48V Adult Electric Bike for $288 with Free Delivery (Ships From the US)

Looking for a powerful ebike with the speed and range to meet your ambitious needs? Nowadays you can find a decent ebike for well under $500 if you know where to look (hint: it's not necessarly Amazon). For a limited time, AliExpress is offering the UrLife E20 750W 48V Electric Bike for a super low price of $288.36 after you apply $35 off coupon code "35USAFFS". The exact same bike currently sells for $470 ($360 plus $90 shipping) on Amazon.

The AliExpress marketplace seller "urlifeglobal" is the official manufacturer of these scooters and has plenty of reviews and sales to back up its reputation. Since they've already been shipped from overseas, any tariffs have already been paid for and you also don't need to worry about egregiously long shipping times.

UrLife E20 750W (1,000W Peak) 48V Electric Bike for $288

The UrLife E20 is an adult electric bike featuring a 750W (1,000W peak) motor that can get up to speeds of 28mph. Unlike most bikes in this price range that use a 36V battery, the E20 includes a powerful 48V battery which offer more power, acceleration, and torque, perfect for tackling steep hills. The 13Ah battery offers up to 80 miles of range under ideal conditions. The actual distance is dependent on other factors like your speed, terrain, elevation, and so forth. It's also removable in case you want to store the battery in a separate location from the bike.

The frame is made of carbon steel so it's on the heavier side at about 60 pounds, but it also has a generous weight capacity of 265 pounds. It's equipped with 20" fat tires with front fork shock-absorbing suspension, which makes it better suited for unpaved terrain compared to other bikes at this price.

There are 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 or thousands of dollars more. The UrLife E20 bike will stay within anybody's budget. It offers a perfectly respectable assisted ride that will satisfy most bikers.

AliExpress Has a 350W Adult Electric Scooter With a Top Speed of 19mph Starting at Just $120

There are many reasons why an electric scooter might be a better fit for you than an electric bike. They're lighter, more compact, and usually less expensive. Electric assisted scooters give you more range and speed for less effort, and the brushless motor is pretty quiet. You'd think upgrading to one would cost you a lot of money, but that's not the case.

For a limited time, AliExpress is offering the very popular LADPED LP80 350W electric scooter with 10.5Ah battery for just $136.69 after coupon code "16USAFFS". Alternatively, the LADPED LP60 350W electric scooter with 5.2Ah battery is $119.99 after code "16USAFFS". Both scooters ship free from a local US warehouse.

AliExpress marketplace vendor AOVOPRO is the official manufacturer of these scooters and has plenty of reviews and sales to back up its reputation. Since they've already been shipped from overseas, any tariffs have already been paid for and you also don't need to worry about egregiously long shipping times.

Electric Scooter Deals Starting at $120

The LADPED electric scooters are solid entry level options for adults. Both models are equipped with a peppy 350W brushless motor that can push the scooter at speeds of up to 19mph. The LP80 is equipped with a 36V 10.5aH battery that lasts up to 18 miles on a single charge. The LP60 has a much smaller 36V 5.2AH battery that will give you half that range. Both scooters weigh about 34 pounds (the LP60 is a bit lighter because of the smaller battery) and can be folded for easier transport and storage. They're equipped with standard 8.5" maintenance free tires ideal for paved surfaces.

Other than that, there's not much more you could ask for from a sub-$150 scooter. More well-known scooter brands are a lot more expensive; the Segway Ninebot E2 and the Niu KQi 100P scooters both cost about $350, and they're also made in China (Segway was purchased by Ninebot in 2015, and is technically a Chinese company now). If cost was the reason that had been holding you back, than the prices on these LADPED scooters are a convincing excuse to get one now.

The Alienware Area-51 9800X3D RTX 5090 Gaming PC Drops to $4,550 (Lowest Price for 5090 Prebuilt)

If you're seeking chart-topping gaming performance, then Alienware's biggest and most powerful prebuilt desktop computer should be high on your list. For just a few more days the Alienware Area-51 AMD Ryzen 9800X3D Edition RTX 5090 gaming PC has dropped in price from $5,650 all the way down to $4,550, a savings of $1,100. Alternatively you can upgrade to the 9950X3D CPU for an additional $250, which comes out to $4,799.99.

That's actually very reasonable as far as CPU upgrades go; the difference in MSRP between a 9950X3D and 9980X3D is $220, and you're not paying much more than that.

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.
