Best Buy is offering yet another great deal on a preowned gaming laptop, this time one that's light enough to double as your daily driver. While supplies last, you can pick up an open box "excellent condition" Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 RTX 5060 gaming laptop for just $1,016.99 with free shipping. If you were to get it new, it would cost $1,450. These preowned laptops are Geek Squad verified and sometimes still have all or some of their original warranty.
Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 RTX 5060 Gaming Laptop for $1,107
Open Box - Excellent Condition
The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop is definitely one of the thinnest and lightest gaming laptops, measuring 0.63" thick and weighing in at only 3.3 pounds. It features a gorgeous 14" 3K 120Hz OLED display, AMD Ryzen 9 270 CPU, GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, 16GB 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 glass touchpad and tasteful RGB accents.
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 5060 discrete graphics isn't as powerful as some other models I write about, but those models are heavy, bulky, and are so power hungry that you basically need to have them plugged in at all times. The RTX 5060 is still a veritable current-gen discrete GPU that will be able to play most non-demanding games smoothly with minimal tweaking, including masterpieces like Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hades 2, Balatro, Minecraft, and more.

Are you shopping around for a new TV to watch the football championship games and the big game itself? Well don't forget that a big, gorgeous picture is incomplete without some equally big, impressive sound to back it up, especially when it comes to sports games. Sonos doesn't have a sale running right now, but that doesn't mean you have to pay full price.
The Sonos online store hosts a Recertified section that takes a modest discount off your favorite soundbars, speakers, and headphones. Sonos refurbished products go through rigorous testing; they come with all accessories, manuals, and documentation and are reshipped in "pristine" packaging. Sonos includes the same 1-year warranty as new.
Sonos Era 100 Smart Speaker for $179
The Sonos Era 100 retails for $219 new, or you can save about 20% off a certified refurbished model for just $79. 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 Beam (Gen 2) Soundbar for $399
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. The recertified model is attractively priced at just $399, or $100 than buying it new. 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 Arc Soundbar for $549
The release of the Arc Ultra doesn't make the Arc any less of an outstanding speaker. The Arc is officially discontinued and no longer sold new. However, when it was available, it was priced at $899 so it's 40% cheaper right now as a refurb. This 45" soundbar houses eleven precisely engineered internal speakers, including three tweeters and eight midwoofers each paired with Class-D amplifiers. Unlike the Sonos Beam, which only has virtual height channels, the Arc has two physical height channels for true Dolby Atmos support. It also has a built-in mic for smart functionality.
Sonos Mini Subwoofer for $399
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 are space constrained, consider the Sub Mini. Despite its compact size, the Sub Mini can still powerful room-filling bass by way of two inward-facing 6" drivers contained in a sealed (non-ported) enclosure. It features wireless connectivity so you can avoid the hassle of routing a cable back to the rest of your home theater components. The recertified model is $100 (20%) cheaper than buying it new.
Sonos Move 2 Portable Speaker for $399
The Move 2 is Sonos' biggest and best portable speaker. It's size allows it to house two tweeters, a mid-woofer, and three class-D digital amplifiers. This is a standalone speaker with a self-contained battery and can be carried around from room to room. The battery provides up to 24 hours of continuous playtime and a simple but effective docking station essentially turns it into a powered speaker. It is IP56 rated for weather resistance and has a built-in microphone so that it can accept voice commands and is compatible with smart assistants.
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.

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.

Prebuilt gaming PC prices are on the rise for 2026, but iBuyPower - one of the more popular and well known system builders on the market - is softening the blow by offering a month end Clearance Sale which takes up to $400 off select systems along with a coupon code "CLEARANCE" that stacks on these tiered discounts:
5% OFF Custom Desktops over $999
$100 OFF Ready to Ship Prebuilt PCs over $1999 Code
$50 OFF Ready to Ship Prebuilt PCs over $999 Code
This sale runs through this weekend only and ends on January 26. iBuypower offers free standard shipping on all configs, however can also get a slight discount by choosing a slower shipping service. All systems are covered by a three year labor and two year parts warranty. Below are the best deals sorted by GPU.
iBuypower Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming PC for $1,899
This is the least expensive system on this list that I'd feel comfortable recommending to anyone who plans to play current generation games on a 4K monitor. The specs include an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB GPU, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 2TB SSD. The system is enclosed in a custom designed and officially licensed HYTE limited edition Persona 3 themed Y70 chassis (HYTE is iBuypower's sister company).
The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is the only 2025 GPU that we gave a 10/10 score. Even though it costs $150 less than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, the 9070 XT beats it out in several of the games we tested. In a few benchmarks, the results aren't even close. The 9070 XT approaches the performance of the $1,000 RX 7900 XTX but with better ray tracing and upscaling performance than its predecessor. Check out our AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT review.
iBuypower GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Gaming PC for $2,049
This 4K gaming ready system isn't that much more expensive and you get an incredibly rare RTX 5070 Ti GPU. The full specs include an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB GPU, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 2TB SSD. The system is also enclosed in a HYTE chassis, this time the recently released X50 case, which was a big hit at CES 2026 for its very unique curvaceous design and excellent cooling potential.
Of all the Blackwell cards released thus far, the RTX 5070 Ti offers the best value for high-fps 4K gaming. It performs neck-and-neck with the RTX 4080 Super but with the added bonus of newer GDDR7 VRAM and multi-frame generation. If you plan on using this card for AI, the RTX 5070 Ti is a better value than the RTX 5080 since both have same amount of RAM (16GB). Compared to AMD, the RTX 5070 Ti is roughly comparable in raw performance to the AMD RX 9070 XT, but the 5070 Ti has better upscaling (especially with DLSS 4.5) and ray tracing. Check out our RTX 5070 Ti review.
iBuypower GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Gaming PC for $1,499
For comfortable 1080p gaming without overspending, the RTX 5060 Ti is the card you want. This system is equipped with an Intel Core i7-14700F CPU, GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB GPU, 32GB of DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD.
RTX 5060 Ti GPUs comes in two variants: an excellent 16GB model and a ridiculously lame 8GB model. Fortunately, this system is equipped with the 16GB model. The RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) is a great GPU for 1080p gaming. It outperforms the RTX 4060 Ti by about 20%, and the gap widens in games that support DLSS 4 technology with multi-frame generation. The 16GB of VRAM also allows this GPU to hold its own in 1440p gaming, especially if you don't want to spend the extra $300 to upgrade to an RTX 5070. Check out our RTX 5060 Ti review for more details.
iBuypower GeForce RTX 5070 Gaming PC for $1,749
This system is perfect for gamers who run QHD (2560x1440) or WQHD (3440x1440) monitors. Specs include an Intel Core i7-14700K CPU, GeForce RTX 5070 12GB GPU, 32GB of DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a 2TB SSD.
The RTX 5070 performs on par with the previous generation RTX 4070 Super - which was already an excellent card for 1080p and 1440p gaming - and then with DLSS 4.5 and multi-frame generation thrown in. It's equipped with 12GB of GDDR7 VRAM which allows it to keep up with high-fps gaming at 1440p. You'll also be able to run most games in 4K as well, although depending on the game you may need to tweak your graphics settings. I myself gamed on an RTX 3080 (which is inferior to the 5070) in 4K for a long time without any real complaints until I finally upgraded last year.
iBuypower GeForce RTX 5080 Gaming PC for $2,499
If you're looking for a system that can run any game imaginable at 4K, with comfortable 60fps+ frame rates (much higher with multi-frame gen) and ray tracing enabled, then the RTX 5080 could be worth its hefty price tag. This system includes an AMD Ryzen 9 9900X CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 16GB CPU, 32GB of DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a 2TB SSD.
The RTX 5080 is a powerhouse. 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. Check out our GeForce RTX 5080 review for our hands-on impressions.
iBuypower RTX 5060 Gaming PC for $1,049
For avid gamers on a budget, iBuypower has a deal for you too. Specs on this system include an Intel Core i5-1440F CPU, GeForce RTX 5060 8GB GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.
The RTX 5060 outperforms its predecessor the RTX 4060 by about 20%-30% and that's before factoring in multi-frame generation. This is a solid budget option for 1080p gaming and you should be able to squeeze consistent 60fps+ framerate out of just about any game with some tweaking. If you're gunning for higher resolutions like 1440p or 4K, however, you'll definitely want to upgrade to an RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) or better.

Audible's first sale of 2026 was supposed to expire on January 21, but it has just been extended through the end of the month. Now through January 29, new and returning Audible subscribers can sign up for three months of Audible Premium Plus for just $0.99 per month, or £0.99 in the UK. This time around it doesn't look like you need to be an Amazon Prime member either. After the three months is up, your subscription will convert to the standard $14.95/mo, so make sure to cancel beforehand if you don't want to continue with the service. You also get a free audiobook of your choice for each of those three months that you get to keep indefinitely.
Note that if you recently signed up for an Audible Premium Plus promotion, you may not be eligible even if your subscription has ended. There's usually a wait period (about 3-6 months) before you are re-eligible.
3 Free Months of Audible Premium Plus
Audible is a subscription service that gives you access to hundreds of thousands of the best audiobooks without ever having to purchase them. There are two paid membership plans: the lower tier Audible Plus ($7.95/mo) and the higher tier Audible Premium Plus ($14.95/mo). The biggest difference between the two is the size of the audiobook library. Whereas Audible Plus only lets you listen to a selection of about 10,000 audiobooks, the Audible Premium Plus plan gives you access to a whopping 500,000 audiobooks.
Premium Plus includes other perks as well. Every month Premium Plus members get to pick one audiobook to keep in their library indefinitely, even after the membership expires. Also, Premium Plus members can get 30% off any additional audiobooks they wish to purchase in addition to exclusive limited-time discounts.
If you were already planning to purchase a couple of audiobooks, then it makes more sense to pay less than $3 to get three audiobooks you get to keep indefinitely and enjoy all the benefits of Audible Premium Plus for three months. This deal only pops up a few times per year, so don't waste your "first-time subscriber" eligibility status on a short 30-day trial.
Catch up the the latest novel releases, audiobook style
Several best-selling new and recent releases are available in an audiobook format and part of Audible's Premium Plus subscription plan. Rebecca Yarros' The Empyrean Series romantasy novels have consistently hit the top of the New York Times' best seller list throughout all of 2025 and they're all available in audiobook format. Sunrise on the Reaping, the latest Hunger Games novel, is narrated by Jefferson White, who you may already know from Yellowstone where he played Jimmy Hudstrom. The audiobook has a listening time of about 12 hours and 48 minutes. Stephen King released his Never Flinch crime novel in May 27 and it's also available as a nearly 15-hour long audiobook narrated by veteran Jessie Mueller. If you're a fan of Brandon Sanderson, check out Wind and Truth, book five of the popular The Stormlight Archive series. It was released in December of 2024 and runs an epic 63 hours long.

Secretlab just launched preorders for its highly anticipated lineup of Pokémon gaming chairs and, not surprisingly, they're selling out quickly. These themed Titan Evo chairs - decked out in your choice of Gengar, Eevee, and Pikachu regalia - have all pretty much sold out of their first wave of preorders and have moved onto their second or third waves. I have no clue how many "waves" there will be for this initial batch, but if you want your chair to arrive within the first half of 2026, you should probably put in your preorder as soon as you can.
Preorder the New Secretlab Pokemon Gaming Chairs
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. You do pay a premium for the branding. The Titan Evo normally sells for $599, but the Pokemon models add on an $85 surcharge. Honestly though, if you're a Pokémon superfan, it's totally worth it considering the fact that this is a high quality officially licensed product.
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. Titan Evo features a solid steel frame with aluminum wheelbase, firm and supportive cold-cure foam for the seat base, four-way adjustable lumbar system, full length backrest with 165 degrees of recline, full metal 4D armrests with magnetically attached PU cushions, and a memory foam headrest pillow.
The Titan Evo is an excellent gaming chair
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, my colleague Akeem Lawanson considered the 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.
In our Secretlab Titan Evo review, Chris Coke wrote that "after two years of daily use, the Secretlab Titan Evo has proven that it can stand the test of time and still be one of the best gaming chairs you can buy. Meaningful ergonomics paired with Secretlab’s wide selection of designs, it remains a fantastic option, especially for fans of bright colors or designs."
Treat yourself to Secretlab's new recliner add-on
Secretlab's recently released recliner add-on is a quality of life upgrade. It installs easily onto the Titan Evo chair without any tools required, offers 80 degrees of adjustability, and is filled with cushy memory foam. If you recline often in your chair, you'll finally be able to kick your legs up without the need to buy a separate stool. In our recliner 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."

If you're a Windows user who's looking for a PC version of the Apple Mac Mini, then this deal might be right up your alley. Amazon is currently offering Amazon Prime members the Kamrui Hyper H1 AMD Ryzen 7 6800H Mini PC for just $359.10 shipped with coupon code "KAMRUI119". This is a great opportunity to pick up a complete tiny PC package that includes everything - the CPU/GPU, RAM, storage, and OS - for less than the cost of a Mac Mini.
Kamrui Hyper H1 AMD Ryzen 7 6800H Mini PC for $359
Includes 32GB of DDR5-4800MHz RAM, 512GB SSD, and Windows 11 Pro
The Kamrui Hyper H1 is small, really small, measuring 5" x 5" x 2", roughly the same size as a Mac Mini. It features an AMD Ryzen 7 6800H 8-core CPU with a max turbo frequency of 4.7GHz and Radeon 680M onboard graphics. It's powerful enough to run all of your everday apps as well as some light gaming. In addition to the CPU, the mini PC is generously equipped with 32GB of DDR5-4800MHz RAM and a 512GB M.2 SSD. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed.
There are plenty of connectivity options here. Running down the list, the ports include six USB 3.2 ports, one USB 3.2 Type-C port, one HDMI 2.0 port, one DisplayPort 1.4b port, one 3.5mm audio jack, and one 2.5Gb ethernet jack. It's also equipped with Bluetooth 5.2 and WiFi 6 wireless networking.

For gamers who missed out on the stellar Black Friday deal, here's another chance to get one of the very best handheld consoles at a great price. Lenovo is offering the powerful Legion Go S Ryzen Z1 Extreme SteamOS handheld gaming PC for just $713.47 with free shipping after you apply coupon code "LENOVONEWYEAR". This handheld retails for $900 and isn't discounted elsewhere. It's a bit pricier than on Black Friday, but that deal is unlikely to come back soon.
Lenovo Legion Go S Z1 Extreme SteamOS Edition
This Lenovo Legion Go S model 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."

Best Buy has by far the best deal on an RTX 5080 gaming laptop if you're fine with getting a preowned model. The retailer has restocked its inventory of open box "excellent condition" OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5080 gaming laptops for just $1,808.99 with free shipping. If you were to get it new, it would cost $2,700. These are Geek Squad verified preowned units and may still have all or some of their original warranty. Note that open box availability depends on your location.
OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5080 Gaming Laptop for $1,809
Open Box - Excellent Condition
This laptop is extremely well equipped for its price. Full specs include a gorgoues 16" 2560x1600 240Hz OLED display, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 GPU (maximum TGP), 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 2TB SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor has 24 cores and a max turbo frequency of 5.4GHz. This is one of the most powerful Intel mobile CPUs currently available and is the ideal complement to the RTX 5080 mobile GPU.
The GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU is better than the RTX 4090 mobile
The OMEN MAX offers a robust cooling design that allows it to accomodate a more powerful GPU like the RTX 5080 without throttling it. That's important if you want to be able to play games comfortably on the display's enhanced 2560x1600 resolution. The RTX 5080 mobile GPU is roughly 15%-20% more powerful than the RTX 4080 mobile GPU that it replaces. In fact, it's slightly more powerful than the RTX 4090, which was the previous generation's flagship card. You should be able to run any game out there at consistent 60+ fps framerates.
The OMEN MAX is HP's best 16" gaming laptop
The OMEN MAX 16 is an upgrade to the OMEN both in terms of build quality and cooling potential. The OMEN MAX 16 is almost entirely constructed of aluminum, including both the top lid and chassis. The exception is the palm rest, which is still plastic so that it doesn't get too toasty for your hands. The OMEN MAX 16 also features a new Tempest Cooling Pro design that combines vapor chamber cooling, redesigned fan configuration, and an improved thermal interface material to maximize heat transfer. Not only does this keep the laptop cooler during gaming marathons, it also allows for the current-generation graphics cards to perform optimally without throttling.

Switch 2 owners, if there's one upgrade you'll absolutely need, it's additional storage. The Switch 2 only has 256GB of onboard storage, and chances are you'll run out of space down the road. Fortunately, Amazon just lowered the price of the 512GB Samsung P9 MicroSD Express card, which will triple your available storage, to just $79.99. This is currently the least expensive 512GB MicroSD Express card we can find right now. We reviewed this model and highly recommend it.
As you should already know, the Switch 2 console will only accept MicroSD Express cards. If you have a standard MicroSD card from your previous Switch, you sadly won't be able to use it to store games in the Switch 2. Although the two might look similar, MicroSD Express cards are much, much faster than their precedessors, with speeds of up to 800MB/s. MicroSD cards, on the other hand, cap out at well under 200MB/s.
This Samsung P9 Express is guaranteed to be compatible with your Switch 2 console. In fact, Samsung is the company that manufactures Nintendo's official Switch 2 memory card. It's very likely these two cards are identical.
