hilda.scott@futurenet.com (Hilda Scott) — Thu, 27 Feb 2025 17:17:22 +0000

Launched in May 2023, the Google Pixel Tablet with Charging Speaker Dock is one of our favorite multiuse devices. For the first time in months, this fantastic duo is seeing a significant price drop.

Currently, Amazon offers the Pixel Tablet with Charging Speaker Dock for $479. That's $120 off its regular retail price of $599 and the lowest price I've seen for this tablet with speaker dock in a while.

For context, it hit an all-time low price of $400 at Amazon on November 3 of last year. I keep a close eye on tablet deals daily and this is one of the best I've seen all month.

You may also grab this deal at Best Buy or the Google Store for the same price or less via trade-in offers.

If you want to expand your gadget collection, the Google Pixel Tablet with Charging Speaker Dock is a multipurpose device. It works as a Google Home device when you're not using it to get things done or consume content. It serves as a mini laptop when paired with a wireless keyboard and mouse.

One of the best tablets to buy, the Pixel Tablet earned our Editor's Choice for its slick, stylish design, snappy performance, and 12-hour battery life.

I use mine with the Logitech Slim Keyboard and Mouse Combo, and it's like a mini Chromebook. This is handy when I want to get things done and not be tethered to my desktop.

Simply put, if you prioritize snappy performance, long battery life, great sound, and versatility, the Pixel Tablet with Charging Speaker Dock is a solid buy — especially at this stellar price.

Laptop Mag: ★★★★

"I love the design and battery life": The Dell XPS 13 hits an all-time low price for Cyber Monday

Madeline Ricchiuto — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 19:04:12 +0000

Dell Cyber Monday deals are in full swing, and one of the standout deals we spotted earlier this week is still available; the Dell XPS 13 (9345) Snapdragon Edition is just $899 at Dell.

The Dell XPS 13 (9345) Snapdragon X Elite blew us away when we reviewed it earlier this year. This Editor's Choice 4-Star Copilot+ PC boasts over 19 hours of battery life, still the longest result from a mainstream Windows laptop. It also offers robust performance, a bright display, a thin design, and a solid webcam.

Our reviews editor, Rami Tabari, said, "The Dell XPS 13 is someone’s perfect laptop. I love the design, the battery life, and the performance." However, the keyboard and dull display colors prevented him from giving Dell's longest laptop ever a perfect score.

This is the lowest price we've seen on the XPS 13 (9345), previous sales have dropped the Copilot+ PC down to $999, so this Cyber Monday deal gets you an extra $100 off the base model.

If the XPS 13 (9345) doesn't quite suit you because you need the full Windows 11 x86 application support, the 4-star Dell XPS 13 (9350) Intel Lunar Lake edition is also on sale with $340 in savings at Dell.

Hurry! One of our favorite gaming laptops is $600 off on Cyber Monday!

momolikestea@gmail.com (Claire Tabari) — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 18:56:14 +0000

Cyber Monday is taking absolutely no prisoners with its phenomenal selection of deals, and we're no strangers to finding the best discounts. However, one in particular has absolutely blown me away. I personally believe that Razer Blade offers some of the best gaming laptops out there, thanks to its combination of excellent performance, sturdy design, and long-lasting battery life. However, the downside typically comes in the form of its price, which is always steep.

But now that Cyber Monday is here, the Razer Blade 16 is currently $2,999 at Best Buy. That's still pretty expensive for sure, but it takes $600 off its original price for a laptop featuring an Intel i9-14900HX, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage. That's all wrapped up in a 2,560 x 1,600-pixel resolution OLED display at 240Hz refresh rate. Essentially, if you're in need of a powerful RTX 4080 laptop that will not disappoint you even a little, look no further than this.

Beyond just that, don't miss out on some of the best Cyber Monday laptop deals we've found throughout our searching for the best deals out there. In general, Razer is hosting its own incredible Cyber Weekend 2024 sales event, where a ton of its best products are on a huge discount.

Today's best Cyber Monday Razer Blade 16 deal

If you're on the lookout for an absolute powerhouse of a gaming laptop, Best Buy is knocking $600 off the incredible Razer Blade 16 during Cyber Monday. It's a phenomenal machine that we gave an Editor's Choice aware and plastered 4.5 out of 5 stars on it, showering it in praise for its phenomenal performance and spectacular RTX graphical power.

Features: 16-inch QHD+ (2,560 x 1,600) 240Hz display, Intel Core i9-14900HX, 32GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 GPU w/ 12GB of VRAM, 1TB SSD.

Release date: May 2024

Price history: This is the lowest price this model of the Razer Blade 16 has been.

Reviews: In our Razer Blade review, we gave it the phenomenal score of 4.5 out of 5 stars, which makes it one of the highest rated gaming laptops we've tested all year, thanks to its comfortable and satisfying keyboard, powerful performance, gorgeously colorful OLED panel, powerful speakers, and sturdy aluminum chassis.

Laptop Mag: ★★★★½

Buy it if: You want a powerful laptop for playing AAA games at high refresh rates on max setting. Or if you're looking for a workstation for video editing, animation, music production, or other demanding creative tasks.

Don't buy it if: You want a laptop for general use. If you just want to create docs, manage emails, browse the internet, and stream YouTube videos, the Razer Blade 14 is overkill. It's also overkill if you want a lower end gaming laptop, as it's frankly reserved for higher-end gamers who want the best out of their performance.View Deal

This Chromebook is only $109 for Cyber Monday (and it's not even the cheapest one we've found)

rael.hornby@futurenet.com (Rael Hornby) — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 09:39:18 +0000

Black Friday was an impressive showcase of laptops deals, but Cyber Monday is bringing things to a close in a big way.

Those looking to score a serious last-minute steal on tech for Cyber Monday are in luck. Cyber Monday laptop deals are pushing the savings even higher. Right now, you can score the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Chromebook for just $109 — a saving of $140.

Crazier still, that's not even the cheapest Chromebook we've come across. Right now, you can buy the ASUS Chromebook Laptop C202SA-YS04 for only $86 at Walmart. Yes, $86.

At this price, Walmart is practically paying you to take it, as it wouldn't surprise me if the price of this laptop was cheaper than the sum of its parts. Do we recommend the Asus Chromebook at this price? Not in the slightest. Not unless this is something for someone who requires the absolute basics, anyway.

Still, prices on Chromebooks are tumbling left, right, and center. While the IdeaPad 3i seems like a moonshot of a deal, there are many more like it! You can even save $160 on the ASUS CM1402 Chromebook, now only $139 for Cyber Monday at Best Buy.

However, let's keep our focus on the IdeaPad and take a closer look at this Cyber Monday Chromebook deal.

Today's best Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Chromebook Cyber Monday deal

Save $140 on the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 for Cyber Monday and grab yourself one of the lowest-priced Chromebooks available online (that's worth having).

Features: Intel Celeron N4500 processor, Intel UHD Graphics, 4GB of RAM, 64GB eMMC storage, a 15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) display, Chrome OS.

Release date: 2024

Reviews: While we haven't personally reviewed the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Chromebook, this laptop is generally favored online and seen as a great daily driver for light computing and net-based activities.

Buy it if: You want an easy-to-use, lightweight, and simple way to browse the web and answer emails in an uncomplicated manner. This Chromebook is great for those who aren't all that tech-savvy, or those that only need a computer for the very basics.

Don't Buy it if: You need a laptop for more than light internet browsing. Lenovo's Chromebook may excel at simpler tasks, but it'll struggle for much of anything else due to its low RAM and weak processor.

Black Friday headphone deals: I found the 5 best deals on popular headphones

Sarah Chaney — Sat, 30 Nov 2024 00:16:53 +0000

Because there are so many fantastic deals, Black Friday season is the best time of year to upgrade your existing tech (or put it on your wish list so someone else can buy it for you). Among all the tech you can buy, headphones are definitely up there as one device you don't want to skimp on — and Black Friday headphone deals make it easy to grab a top-tier, flagship pair of headphones for cheap.

You can easily find a pair of over-ear headphones that on sale for $50 or less, but the quality you get in exchange for that $50 is usually pretty low. Budget-friendly headphones often kick up the bass so it sounds more "full," but once you test out a pair of high-end headphones, you'll realize what you've been missing.

My favorite headphone deal will likely surprise no one, as it involves one of the most in-demand, well-reviewed pair of headphones currently available. I'm talking about the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones for just $298 at Amazon.

Although poorly named, these headphones have topped "best headphones" lists for years because they're just that good. In our Sony WH-1000XM5 review, we awarded 4.5 out of 5 stars for multiple reasons: long battery life, excellent adaptive ANC, and a new chip providing "more clarity and definition" than its predecessor, helping the sound come through balanced and spacious.

While the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphone deal may be my favorite, it wasn't the only great deal I found. Read on to see which 5 top-brand headphones made the cut with stellar Black Friday deals.

Sony WH-1000XM5: was $399 now $289 @ Walmart
Beats Studio Pro: was $349 now $159 @ Amazon

Apple AirPods Max (Lightning): was $549 now $399 @ Best Buy
Sennheiser Momentum 4: was $379 now $219 @ Amazon

Search up "best headphones" in Google, and you'll find these headphones top almost every list. In our Sony WH-1000XM5 review, these cans earned 4.5 out of 5 stars for balanced and spacious sound, excellent adaptive ANC, and long battery life. The naming convention isn't great, but the quality definitely is.

Cheaper alternative: Sony WH-1000XM4 for $198 at AmazonView Deal

In our Beats Studio Pro review, we called the headphones "An icon revived and upgraded." These headphones promise a long battery life, top-notch sound and call quality, and intuitive noise cancellation. They can be used wired and connect with both Android and iOS.

These headphones are the ultimate buy for anyone who finds ANC tech precious. Bose does an excellent job with noise cancellation, as noted by our sister site, Tom's Guide, in a Bose QuietComfort review. These headphones are comfortable, boast high sound quality, and offer stunning battery life.

More lux alternative: The Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones are $299 at Amazon ($130 off) in the Diamond 60th colorway. If you want them in a different color, they're discounted to $329 ($100 off).View Deal

When Laptop Mag reviewed the AirPods Max in 2021, we praised the headphones' gorgeous design, powerful ANC tech, and sublime audio quality. Three years later, all of that still stands. However, this discounted version is the older Lightning model, not the newer USB-C option, which is only on sale for $499, linked below.

An all-time low price: The unique dual-screen laptop by Asus is a Black Friday steal

Melissa Perenson — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 21:38:21 +0000

Some laptops have style.

Some laptops have function.

And some -- like the Asus ZenBook Duo -- have both in spades.

This laptop has a unique dual-screen design, and right now, you can buy the ZenBook Duo for $1,179 at Amazon.

That price marks a new low watermark for this model, and it's a healthy 21% savings off the regular $1.499 price. This model debuted in January 2024, but its components still deliver a powerful punch, making this laptop a terrific choice for creators and anyone needing a large mobile package display. Why bother with a separate external monitor when you can have that large screen as part of your laptop?

Its dual 14-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) touchscreen OLED displays are at the center of this laptop's design. When you lift the lid, the ZenBook Duo looks like any other laptop. The secret sauce lies in its removable keyboard atop the second 16:10 display. The bright displays are each Pantone validated and support 100% DCI-P3 for wide color gamut and color accuracy. The laptop includes a stylus, and the entire package weighs just 3.6 pounds.

The ZenBook Duo packs an AI-capable Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor and Intel Arc graphics inside. It's also loaded with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, which gives you plenty of space on board for creative tasks. We gave the ZenBook Duo 4 stars in our review, noting its excellent performance and design.

These 3 RTX 4070 gaming laptops are the only ones you should think about on Black Friday

Rami Tabari — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 21:06:03 +0000

I've said this again and again: mid-range GPUs have no right to be as expensive as they are, especially with these excellent gaming laptop deals on Black Friday. Laptops like the Dell G16 (7630), the Asus ROG Strix G17, and the Asus TUF Gaming F15 offer excellent value to gamers.

The Dell G16 (7630) is available for $1,299 at Dell. It earned 4.5 out of 5 stars and an Editor's Choice badge in our Dell G16 (7630) review. It offers an Intel Core i9-13900HX processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GPU, 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, a 16-inch, 2560 x 1600, 240Hz display, and a Cherry MX mechanical keyboard.

The Asus ROG Strix G17 is on sale for $1,299 at B&H Photo Video. It earned 4 out of 5 stars in our Asus ROG Strix G17 review. It is packed with an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GPU, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a 17.3-inch (2560 x 1440, 240Hz) display.

The Asus TUF Gaming F15 is $999 at Best Buy. We didn't review this specific model, but the 2022 version earned 4 out of 5 stars and an Editor's Choice award in our Asus TUF Gaming F15 (2022) review. It comes with an Intel Core i7-13620H processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GPU, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a 15.6-inch, 1920 x 1080, 144Hz display.

You can't go wrong with any of these gaming laptop deals. Why? Scoring an RTX 4070 gaming laptop for just under $1,300 is a boon. But when it comes down to it, which should you choose?

Well, if you noticed, all three laptops come in different display sizes. You have your pick between a 15-inch, 16-inch, and 17-inch gaming laptop.

However, I would choose the Dell G16 (7630). That's because it offers something that none of the other gaming laptops have, two things actually. One is an extremely colorful display, clocking in 114% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. And the other is a Cherry MX mechanical keyboard. For the price, you won't find a more comfortable keyboard in a gaming laptop.

But if you're looking for a more compact, travel-friendly gaming laptop, the Asus TUF Gaming F15 should be your first choice. It's lighter and thinner than the others, and it's likely to feature longer battery life if its predecessor is any indicator.

And if you're looking for the biggest screen for more immersion, the Asus ROG Strix G17 is the obvious choice. It also offers a great set of speakers, which the others can't seem to compete with.

The Dell G16 (7630) is without a doubt the greatest budget gaming laptop out there. Its mechanical keyboard and vivid display took me out of this world.

Features: Intel Core i9-13900HX processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GPU, 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, a 16-inch, 2560 x 1600, 240Hz display, and a Cherry MX mechanical keyboard.

Black Friday is not stopping with its phenomenal deals, featuring some of the best Black Friday laptops deals out there. But one of our favorite deals from this Black Friday isn't in the form of comes in the form of the Lenovo Legion Go, which is among the best premium handheld gaming devices.

While it's traditionally on the pricier side of handheld gaming devices, this Black Friday takes the 1TB model of the Lenovo Legion Go down to $549 at Best Buy. This is $200 off its original price point, and it also reflects the 512GB model, as that version of the Lenovo Legion Go is only $472 at Amazon. This is by far the lowest price we've seen the Lenovo Legion Go at, so don't miss out on this steal if you're in the market for one.

However, even though this is a huge discount, it's still unmatched compared to the affordability of the base Asus ROG Ally for $349 at Best Buy, which is $150 off its initial price. Regardless of which one you fancy, it's a great Black Friday for handheld gaming enthusiasts.

This is the cheapest RTX 4070 gaming laptop you'll find for Cyber Monday

Rami Tabari — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 19:58:45 +0000

The Asus TUF Gaming F15 is among the most affordable gaming laptops out there. They don't usually pack a punch, but this model certainly does for Cyber Monday.

You can get the Asus TUF Gaming F15 for $1,099 at Best Buy. It features an Intel Core i7-13620H processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GPU, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a 15.6-inch, 1920 x 1080, 144Hz display. With the original price at $1,399, a $300 discount is strong. And getting an RTX 4070 gaming laptop close to the triple digits is rare, though not unheard of.

We haven't reviewed this particular model of the Asus TUF Gaming F15, but our impressions of the 2022 model were quite good. We scored it 4.5 out of 5 stars and awarded an Editor's Choice badge. It offered great price-to-performance ratio, which matches up with what this model offers. It also featured a tactile keyboard and amazing battery life, although again, we haven't gotten our hands on this model, so we can't confirm that.

The Asus TUF Gaming series is well-rounded and offers quality features. But there will always be some sacrifices. For example, the 2022 model had loud fans, a spongy trackpad, and a cramped keyboard.

However, $1,099 is a great price for a gaming laptop offering an RTX 4070 GPU. The Asus TUF Gaming F15 may well be worth it despite some minor cons.

Best Asus TUF Gaming F15 deal on Cyber Monday

Overview: This Asus TUF Gaming F15 deal takes a RTX 4070 GPU and stuffs it into a package for just over $1,000. That's an impressive feat, a feat you'd see only on days like Cyber Monday. Act fast.

Features: The Asus TUF Gaming F15 is built with an Intel Core i7-13620H processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GPU, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a 15.6-inch, 1920 x 1080, 144Hz display.

Release date: 2023

Price history: The Asus TUF Gaming F15 briefly dipped to $999 over Black Friday.

Reviews: We didn't get to review the Asus TUF Gaming F15, but we did review the 2022 model, and our sister sites took care of this particular version. The consensus came down to its great price-to-performance ratio (even before the deal), comfortable albeit spongy keyboard, and strong battery life.

Laptop Mag: ★★★★½ (2022) | GamesRadar: ★★★½ | Digital Camera World: ★★★★

Buy it if: You want strong mid-range graphics performance for cheap. You want a full-sized keyboard. You want solid battery life.

Don't Buy it if: You need high-range performance. You need a sharp display. You want a clicky keyboard.

I'm amazed by these 5 Razer gaming keyboard Black Friday discounts

momolikestea@gmail.com (Claire Tabari) — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 19:35:47 +0000

Black Friday is taking no prisoners, yielding some of the greatest discounts we've seen all year, and it's proven the most by our best Black Friday laptop deals. But beyond just laptops, we also have seen great deals on gaming accessories, especially in the realm of keyboards. Razer is one of the best keyboard manufacturers out there, and we're shocked by how steep the deals are for their keyboards.

For example, a keyboard like the Razer BladeWidow V3 Mini Hyperspeed Phantom Edition is now $84 at Best Buy, which is $115 off its original price. Yes, this keyboard is more than half off what it initially was, and beyond just that, it's an absolute champion for competitive gamers, featuring mechanical linear switches that are silent, RGB backlighting and more.

But if you don't want to break the bank, and just need a solid gaming keyboard to accompany your gameplay, there's also an incredible choice like the Razer Cynosa V2 for $24 at Best Buy. Yes, that's right, you'll get a full Razer keyboard (meaning it has a number pad, arrows keys, and navigation keys) for just $24, which is $35 off its original price.

All in all, I'm amazed by the Razer deals we've seen for keyboards so far, so here's a bunch to make your Black Friday even better.

Best Black Friday Razer keyboard deals

The Razer Huntsman V2 Full Size wired keyboard is currently seeing a steep discount at Best Buy, bringing it down by $90 from its original price. Its full size means it features all the keys you can normally expect from a keyboard, including a number pad, arrow keys, and navigation keys like Home, Page Up, Page Down, and more. It features RGB lighting, optical switches with 8000Hz polling rate, PBT key caps, and USB Type-A wired connectivity.View Deal

If you're a fan of the Huntsman but want the smallest version of it available (and thus cheaper), look no further than the Huntsman Mini 60%, which is currently $50 off from its original price at Best Buy. It features a wired USB type-A wired connection, RGB backlighting, an optical clicky keyboard, and PBT key caps. Keep in mind, this version does not have a number pad, arrow keys, or navigation keys.View Deal

Now if you want a solid middle ground between the full version and the 60% version of the Razer Huntsman V2, look no further than this tenkeyless model, which is currently $80 off at Best Buy. In fact, it's the same price as the 60% model right now thanks to its steeper discount, so if you do want arrow keys and navigation keys, you can get your hands on this one for no additional cost.View Deal

Need a very affordable keyboard and don't want to bother spending anywhere near as much as other Razer products typically call for? The Razer Cynosa was already low-cost without the Black Friday sale, but it's now $35 off, making it one of the cheapest keyboards you can get during Black Friday without sacrificing quality. It features RGB backlighting, a USB-A wired connection, and is a full sized keyboard, meaning you get access to arrow keys, navigation keys, and the number pad.View Deal

Are you looking for a solid professional keyboard for gamers who aren't messing around? Look no further than the BlackWidow V3 Mini, which is seeing the steepest discount of any of the Razer keyboards on this list, now reduced by $115. It features customizable RGB lighting with linear, silent mechanical switches with keycaps made of ABS, and it features built-in memory profiles, has Razer Yellow key switches, and can be connected wirelessly through Bluetooth.View Deal

While it isn't technically a gaming laptop, the Asus ROG Ally is absolutely amazing and it is what got me so addicted to handheld gaming devices. In particular, this is the base model of the Asus ROG Ally, which is built with a 7-inch display at 1,920 x 1,080-pixel resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, AMD Ryzen Z1 processor, 512GB of SSD storage, and 16GB of RAM.

I gave the Asus ROG Ally Z1 a 3.5 out of 5 stars in my review, and while I was initially hard on it at launch, that was because its steep price point of $599 seemed wasteful compared to its $699 model for such a difference in performance. However, now that the Asus ROG Ally Z1View Deal

The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x is my favorite laptop of 2024 and it just got a huge Black Friday discount

Stevie Bonifield — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 16:36:09 +0000

I reviewed quite a few laptops this year, but my favorite was the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x. Right now you can get this all-star laptop for less than $1,000 for Black Friday.

The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x is one of the best Windows MacBook Air rivals I've ever seen and a great laptop in its own right. It's thin and lightweight, features a stylish design, has a beautiful display, and boasts over 14 hours of battery life.

With all that going for it, the Yoga Slim 7x is easy to recommend, especially at this bargain sale price for Black Friday. Right now you can get the Yoga Slim 7x for just $999 directly from Lenovo.

Whether you're a student, professional, or just a casual user, you really can't go wrong with the Yoga Slim 7x.

That said, this laptop is especially great for students. The keyboard is phenomenal and still holds my record for my fastest laptop typing speed at 105 words per minute. So, you'll be able to blaze through essays. Plus, the slim, minimalist design can fit in easily at school or on campus and the battery life is more than enough for a full day of classes.

The surprisingly affordable Asus ROG Strix G17 is cheaper and more powerful for Black Friday

Rami Tabari — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 16:15:45 +0000

The Asus ROG Strix G17 is one of our favorite affordable gaming laptops of yesteryear. We praised it for its "great low-budget power," but now it's even cheaper than when we reviewed it and it even offers a stronger graphics chip for Black Friday.

You can get the Asus ROG Strix G17 for $1,299 at B&H Photo Video. It offers an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GPU, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a 17.3-inch (2560 x 1440, 240Hz) display. For a large gaming laptop with an RTX 4070 GPU, $600 off of $1,899 is a steal.

In our Asus ROG Strix G17 review, we scored it 4 out of 5 stars. We complimented the ROG Strix G17 for its excellent overall performance, strong graphics, decent display, and clear audio wrapped in a perfectly priced package.

That perfectly priced package, however, was priced at $1,399 and came only with an RTX 4060. So for $100 cheaper and a bump to an RTX 4070, our praise is more relevant than ever.

Don't pass up a chance to snag a $1,299 gaming laptop with an RTX 4070 and a big 17.3-inch display. Get the Asus ROG Strix G17.

Best Asus ROG Strix G17 deal on Black Friday

Overview: An RTX 4070 gaming laptop this cheap is not something you want to miss. The Asus ROG Strix G17 makes the deal sweeter with its quality display and audio.

Features: The Asus ROG Strix G17 is built with an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GPU, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a 17.3-inch (2560 x 1440, 240Hz) display.

Release date: 2023

Reviews: We were shocked by the Asus ROG Strix G17's low price when it launched last year considering its higher-end CPU combined with an RTX 4060. Of course, that praise extends more so to this deal because of its cheaper price with bigger performance. We enjoyed the display and audio as well. However, the battery life is a bit low, the keyboard feels spongy, and the overall build is a little cheap.

Laptop Mag: ★★★★

Buy it if: You want strong mid-range graphics performance. You want a decently colorful display. You want an affordable package. You want some bangin' audio.

Don't Buy it if: You need a bright display. You need a long battery life. You want a chassis that doesn't feel cheap.

Laptop Mag's favorite Pixel Buds are still just $49 after Black Friday

hilda.scott@futurenet.com (Hilda Scott) — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 16:15:00 +0000

It's the day after Black Friday and Google's Pixel Buds A-Series wireless earbuds remain cheaper than ever.

You still have a chance to snap up the Pixel Buds A-Series for just $49 at Amazon. That's $50 off their regular retail price of $99, and one of the best Black Friday headphone deals still available to day.

Best Buy and Walmart are still offering same deal as we roll into Cyber Monday, December 2.

Although I usually don't recommend products more than two years old, Google's Pixel Buds A-Series is an exception. Released in 2021, Google's 3rd generation earbuds feature 12mm drivers for high-quality audio and adaptive sound which intuitively adjusts volume depending on your surroundings.

Despite their lack of noise cancellation, the Pixel Buds A-Series's ergonomic fit offers a tight seal to block some outside noise.

If you're looking for cheap but good wireless earbuds for your Pixel or Android device, at just $49, the Google Pixel Buds A-Series are a no-brainer.

Overview
Lowest price! Save $50 on the Google Pixel Buds A-Series wireless earbuds.

Features: 12mm custom drivers, beamforming microphones, multiple ear tip sizes

Release date: June 2021

Price history: This is the lowest price ever for the Google Pixel Buds A-Series.

Price comparison: Best Buy | Walmart $49

Reviews consensus: In our Google Pixel Buds A-Series review, we raved over their comfortable, lightweight design and good audio quality. We gave them an overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars and our Editor's Choice Award.

Laptop Mag: ★★★★½ | Tom's Guide: ★★★★

Buy it if: You're in the Android ecosystem or Pixel owner and don't want to spend a whole lot on Google-branded earbuds.

Don't buy it if: You're in the Apple ecosystem or if active noise cancelling is important to you. AirPods are the best earbuds for Apple users. If you're an Android user, I recommend the Sony WF-C510 for $48 ($12 off)View Deal

I reviewed the MSI Katana 15 and gave it 4 out of 5 stars for its superb graphics performance, solid speakers, and affordability.

My favorite budget gaming laptop deal just got even better for Black Friday

Rami Tabari — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 14:46:30 +0000

The Dell G16 (7630) is by far the best cheap gaming laptop that I've tested. It championed premium features like a mechanical keyboard and bold display that surpass laptops double its price.

You can get the Dell G16 (7630) for $1,299 at Dell. It's packing an Intel Core i9-13900HX processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GPU, 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, a 16-inch, 2560 x 1600, 240Hz display, and a Cherry MX mechanical keyboard. That's a whole lot of gaming laptop for a very reasonable price. The original price was a whopping $1,949, that's $650 off.

In my Dell G16 (7630) review, I scored it 4.5 out of 5 stars and was awarded an Editor's Choice badge. I fell in love with its beautiful display, which rocked up with 114% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. Sure, it's dim at 310 nits of brightness, but you can just turn off your lights. And that mechanical keyboard? I've never clicked on something so pleasant on a gaming laptop this cheap.

That's not to mention that the model we tested offered stellar performance. And this particular model steps it up in both CPU and GPU, so it'll be even more powerful.

$1,299 for an RTX 4070 gaming laptop is quite the steal, especially one with these features. Get the Dell G16 (7630) while you can.

Best Dell G16 (7630) deal on Black Friday

Reviews: I was blown away by the Dell G16's price, not just because of the performance it offered but because of its quality features. Its mechanical keyboard and vivid display took me out of this world. I'd never expect that from a budget gaming laptop, and now the Dell G16 is putting everyone on game.

Laptop Mag: ★★★★½

Buy it if: You want strong mid-range graphics performance. You want a bold display to capture your favorite games. You want a mechanical keyboard to grace your fingers. You need some decent battery life (5:04).

Don't Buy it if: You need high-range performance. You need a super bright display. You use the touchpad frequently (it's tiny). You want great speakers (hollow).

If you're on the hunt for a new laptop, you're in luck. Target Black Friday laptop deals include some of the best discounts I've seen.

The best laptop deal I found at Target for Black Friday is the HP Essential laptop for just $499 ($350 off). For the average user who needs a laptop to work on cloud-based documents, answer emails, occasionally stream media, and otherwise access the internet, this laptop's specs are a great value.

This HP Essential configuration features an AMD Ryzen 7 7730U processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD storage, and a large 17.3-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS display. With those specs, you can even play casual games natively or turn to cloud gaming.

If you're looking for something truly lightweight that's easy to commute with, I'd opt for the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 for only $899 ($300 off) instead. It weighs just 3 pounds, and it comes with the efficient yet powerful Snapdragon X Plus chip everyone's been raving about.

This is the cheapest way to get the Pixel Tablet with or without the charging dock

hilda.scott@futurenet.com (Hilda Scott) — Thu, 28 Nov 2024 21:19:24 +0000

Shopping for a Google Pixel Tablet for the holidays? Well if you were worried you missed the best deals, cast those concerns aside as this deal remains on the best tablet I've ever owned, dropping it to a stellar price.

Today, you can get the excellent Google Pixel Tablet for $279; It normally costs $399, so you're saving $120, and this top-rated Android tablet for its cheapest price ever.

We reviewed the Pixel Tablet and gave it our Editor's Choice for its slick, stylish design, snappy performance, and 12-hour battery life. I'm a proud Pixel Tablet owner, and I agree.

The Pixel Tablet offers a true Android experience and even does double duty as a laptop. I pair mine with the Logitech Slim Keyboard and Mouse Combo, and it's like a mini Pixelbook Go. This comes in handy for times when I want to get things done and not be tethered to my desktop.

Overall, the Pixel Tablet is a wise choice if snappy performance, long battery life, great sound, and versatility are important to you.

What about that deal hack? Well, if you want the charging dock to go with the Pixel Tablet, which converts it into a Google Home device with an audio boost and a quick and easy charging method, then you can add that on for $129 at Amazon or Best Buy and for a total of $408 you are still coming in for less than the $444 you'd paid to buy them in a single package.

The Google Pixel deal you've been waiting for is here; save $120 on our favorite Android tablet, and you can pick up the charging dock to complete the package.

Features: 11-inch (2560 x 1600) touchscreen, 1080p video recording, Google's Tensor G2 processor, fingerprint reader, 128GB of storage

Release date: May 2023

Price check: Best Buy $279 | Best Buy $459 (Pixel Tablet with Charging Dock)

Price history: This is the lowest price I've seen for the standalone Pixel Tablet and currently the cheapest way to get the Pixel Tablet with charging dock.

Reviews consensus: The Pixel Tablet scored high ratings and praises across our brands. It's Google's first tablet in almost five years and brings many new features like the company’s proprietary Tensor G2 processor and built-in Chromecast.

Laptop Mag: ★★★★ |TechRadar: ★★★½ | Tom's Guide: ★★★★ | Android Central: ★★★★½ | T3: ★★★★

Don't buy if: You're looking for a laptop replacement or a tablet you'll mostly use for streaming content. If you're looking for a productivity tablet, the Galaxy Tab S7 FE with S Pen might suit you better. View Deal

Forget the Galaxy S25 Ultra! Buy the Galaxy S24 Ultra for its all-time low price

Melissa Perenson — Thu, 28 Nov 2024 20:30:00 +0000

Samsung has a terrific Cyber Monday deal on the Galaxy S24 Ultra phone that drops it to $899. This is the lowest price we've ever seen for the 256GB Galaxy S24 Ultra.

To get this deal, go to Samsung's site and select one of the three online exclusive colors, 256GB, and scroll down to choose no trade-in. Samsung bills its Galaxy S24 Ultra discount at $400; if you want one of the other colors, you'll have to settle for a $350 discount, which is still a solid price.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 came out in January 2024, and it remains Samsung's top flagship phone, at least until the Galaxy S25 Ultra inevitably launches in early 2025. This model features Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 8-core processor and Adreno 750 graphics, 12GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. It was Samsung's first Galaxy AI phone, with features like Circle to Search, AI Photo Edit, AI Translate, and more. If snapping sharp photos is important to you, we loved this model's 200MP camera in our review.

If you're shopping for an Android phone this holiday season, this is one of the best deals you can buy. Jump on this sale now while supplies last.

Don't wait! The best iPad for most people is already at its all-time low

Sarah Chaney — Thu, 28 Nov 2024 20:08:29 +0000

Android tablets can try all they want to, but there's currently no better tablet than the iPad. If you're looking for an inexpensive iPad capable of streaming your favorite shows, browsing the internet, and taking care of light productivity tasks, you should turn to the iPad 10.

Apple's iPad 10 is at its lowest price of $249 right now on Amazon for Black Friday. It's slashed to $259 directly on Amazon, and an on-page coupon for $9.01 will bring you down to its all-time-low price of $249. Just make sure you click the checkbox next to the coupon to apply it before checkout.

In our Apple iPad 10 review, this affordable tablet managed to surpass its competitors in performance-related tests. Most impressively, it earned a Geekbench 5 multi-core score of 4,040, besting the iPad Gen 9, OnePlus Pad, and Lenovo Tab 11.

We loved the tablet's killer speakers, bright and colorful display that's "pretty darn lovely to look at," and a "sharp and vivid" rear camera.

We awarded the iPad 10 4 out of 5 stars and our esteemed Editor's Choice award. If you're looking for a reliable, affordable tablet to stream media and take care of internet-based tasks, you won't be disappointed with the iPad 10.

For holiday gift ideas or to find a little treat-yo-self present, feel free to browse through all the Black Friday deals we've rounded up so far.

Get the ultimate Razer gaming laptop for $1,300 off on Black Friday

Rami Tabari — Thu, 28 Nov 2024 19:36:12 +0000

Razer makes some of the best gaming laptops, but they're always so expensive. Well, not always. The Razer Blade 16 is seeing a massive discount on its massive features which make it the ultimate gaming laptop.

You can get the Razer Blade 16 for $2,499 at Amazon. No, that is actually not expensive considering what you get. This gaming laptop is outfitted with an Intel Core i9-13950HX processor, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 12GB GPU, 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a 16-inch, 4K 120Hz and 1080p 240Hz, Mini LED display.

Yes, you read that right. This Razer Blade 16 offers a dual-mode display, which means you can swap between 4K and 1080p. This will give you the best of both worlds: Fidelity and Performance. Depending on the game, you can prioritize one over the other.

In our Razer Blade 16 review, we praised the gaming laptop for its epic performance, bright and vivid dual-mode display, and great audio performance. We dinged it for its slower SSD and the fact you need to restart the laptop in order to switch display types. Overall, however, it earned 4 out of 5 stars with an Editor's Choice award.

It might not be perfect, but the Razer Blade 16 is easily one of the best gaming laptop deals on Black Friday.

The best Razer Blade 16 Black Friday deal

Overview: The absurdly expensive is no longer absurd. The Razer Blade 16 dropping all the way down to $2,500 is a wild dip considering its massive features. Between its RTX 4080 and its Mini LED display, you shouldn't pass this up.

Features: The Razer Blade 16 is outfitted with an Intel Core i9-13950HX processor, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 12GB GPU, 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a 16-inch, 4K 120Hz and 1080p 240Hz, Mini LED display.

Release date: 2023

Price history: This is the lowest price I've seen for the Razer Blade 16.

Reviews: The Razer Blade 16 is an absolute champ. From its powerful graphics performance and gorgeous display to its great audio performance and helpful Razer Synapse app, the Razer Blade 16 has it all. But it also has a slow SSD, so keep that in mind.

Laptop Mag: ★★★★

Buy it if: You want powerful performance. You want a Mini LED display with customizable resolutions and refresh rates. You want great audio. You want the best.

Don't buy it if: You don't care too much about graphics performance, only if it's playable. You're worried about a slowish SSD. You can't be bothered to restart your laptop to take advantage of the dual-mode display.

Only the most patient Black Friday shoppers will save $730 on this fantastic ThinkPad laptop (Updated)

rael.hornby@futurenet.com (Rael Hornby) — Thu, 28 Nov 2024 18:00:00 +0000

Lenovo's updated Black Friday prices are now LIVE! Meaning, for a limited time you can grab this impressive ThinkPad E14 (Gen 6) laptop for only $739!

When anyone mentions a business laptop, there are a few models that immediately spring to mind, and all of them are ThinkPads.

During Black Friday, and hopefully carrying over into Cyber Monday, you'll be able to secure some excellent savings on ThinkPad laptops throughout Lenovo's impressive lineup. Just one of those is the ThinkPad E14 (Gen 6).

You can currently bag yourself this business beauty for a shockingly low sum. The ThinkPad E14 (Gen 6) is now just $822 at Lenovo's online store. That's a saving of $647 off of its usual $1,469 asking price.

Laptop Mag reviewed last year's ThinkPad E14 (Gen 5) model, granting it a well-earned four-star victory in the process. It has all the hallmarks of a fantastic ThinkPad laptop; an excellent build with a sleek design, smooth performance across demanding workflows, a bright display, and a decent webcam to boot.

The new Gen 6 model takes things further, entering the AI PC market by adopting Intel's newer Core Ultra 5 processor and bringing with it improved efficiency and performance.

It's a killer saving on one of the best budget business laptops. However, while you're free to snap up this deal, in the immortal words of D:Ream: "Things can only get better" — and at the stroke of midnight, they will.

Catch this deal from 12 a.m. at the dawn of Black Friday proper and you'll save even more. $83 to be precise, as the Lenovo ThinkPad E14 (Gen 6) drops to just $739 (Now live!).

Wow! The Lenovo ThinkPad with 21 hours of battery life is $859 off for Black Friday

Rami Tabari — Thu, 28 Nov 2024 17:18:01 +0000

If you're looking for a quality laptop with the longest battery life you can get your hands on, then the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 is your answer. With over 21 hours of battery life, you can squeeze in two and a half workdays before needing a charger.

You can pick up the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 for just $1,289 at Lenovo. That comes with a Snapdragon X Elite X1E-78-100 processor, 32GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and a 14-inch, 1920 x 1200, 60Hz display.

In our Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 review, we gave the business laptop credit for its record-breaking battery life, strong overall performance, and surprisingly lightweight chassis. For that it earned 4 out of 5 stars with an Editor's Choice award. It's not perfect, however. We dinged it for its outdated design, lackluster display, and mediocre graphics performance.

Despite that, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 offers one of the best Black Friday laptop deals. If your priority is battery life, you won't find a better laptop to keep you company on long commutes, workdays, school days, and every day.

Our favorite Windows laptop for college students is just $699 for Black Friday — save $350!

Sarah Chaney — Thu, 28 Nov 2024 16:33:31 +0000

If you're on the lookout for a new laptop for yourself or as a gift for one very lucky person this holiday season, this is a deal you don't want to miss. The Asus Zenbook 14 OLED is already a fantastic value at full price, so at this slashed Black Friday price, it's practically a steal.

Through Best Buy, you can snag the 2024 Asus Zenbook 14 OLED for only $699. Typically $1,049, that's $350 in savings and the lowest price we've seen so far for this configuration, beating its previous low by another $50.

It's wild to see a laptop with an OLED display for a mere $699, and the perks certainly don't stop there. In addition to this laptop's 14-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200), 500-nit, 60Hz touch OLED display, it's also equipped with 1TB of SSD storage, 16GB of RAM, and Intel's new Core Ultra 7 155H CPU.

In our Asus Zenbook 14 OLED review, we were thoroughly impressed with its overall performance. The laptop breezed through a workload containing "multiple email accounts, testing result spreadsheets, and 20-something additional chrome tabs."

We also praised the laptop's smooth, comfortable keyboard, decent gaming performance, and high-quality speakers with "impressive volume" and "stunning audio quality from bass through to mids and high-range sonics."

All that said, the Zenbook 14 OLED truly excels in one category: battery life. During Laptop Mag's battery test, which involves continuous web surfing over Wi-Fi at 150 nits brightness, this affordable laptop lasted a staggering 15 hours and 52 minutes. A near 16-hour battery life for just $699? Count me in.

The only reasons you might want to consider a different laptop is if you're looking for one that runs macOS or ChromeOS specifically, if you want a 4K OLED laptop display, or if you're looking for a laptop with gaming at high refresh rates in mind. If you fall into any of those three categories, be sure to check out the other best Black Friday laptop deals we've rounded up.

Today's best Asus Zenbook 14 OLED deal

Lowest price! The reliable Asus Zenbook 14 OLED with an Intel Ultra 7 CPU drops by $350 to a new all-time-low price.

Features: 14-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200), 500-nit, 60Hz touch OLED display, Intel Core Ultra 7 155H 16-core CPU, 16GB RAM, integrated Intel Arc graphics, 1TB of SSD storage, 1080p webcam with privacy shutter, Windows 11 Home

Release Date: March 2024

Price history: This is the lowest price we've seen so far for this 2024 Asus Zenbook 14 OLED config, beating out the previous low from just a few months ago by $50.

Price comparison: You can only buy this particular configuration at Best Buy.

Reviews consensus: In our Asus Zenbook 14 OLED review, we deemed this laptop nearly perfect and awarded 4.5 out of 5 stars. Its shining feature is easily its almost 16-hour battery life — that's a wild value at this discounted price. On top of exceptional battery life, this laptop also offers snappy performance, a smooth keyboard, and "stunning audio quality from bass through to mids and high-range sonics."

Laptop Mag: ★★★★½

Buy it if: You're looking for a great all-around laptop laptop with a great balance between performance, efficiency, and style.

Don't buy it if: You'd prefer a higher-resolution display, ChromeOS or macOS over Windows, or a laptop that can better handle playing AAA games at high refresh rates.

PS5 vs. PS5 Pro: Which deal is best on Black Friday?

Rami Tabari — Thu, 28 Nov 2024 16:23:17 +0000

I recently made a $700 bet on the PS5 Pro, hoping that the games would be elevated by this beast of a console. So where did that actually land? How does it compare to the standard PS5? And more importantly, which is the better PS5 Black Friday deal?

Well, the PS5 Slim is currently on sale at Amazon for $374. That's a decent discount, at $75 off. So where does the PS5 Pro fall on Black Friday. The PS5 Pro is currently available on Amazon for $699. Yep, you read that right. The PS5 Pro is not on sale but instead its full price.

That means that you're paying nearly double the price when jumping from the PS5 Slim to the PS5 Pro. Is that really worth the money? If you haven't already been forced to decide by your budget, then you may want to consider which is best.

There's no deal on the PS5 Pro, but is that price gap still worth it? Let's find out.

PS5 vs. PS5 Pro: Which deal is best on Black Friday?

Buy if: You want strong graphics. You want big storage. You want new ray tracing features. You want increased resolution balanced with high frames. You want 8K gaming.

Don't buy if: You just want the games to be playable. Your games don't take up much storage. You don't mind 30-fps gaming. You don't care about ray tracing.

Price check: Best Buy $699 | Walmart $699 | PlayStation DirectView Deal

Buy if: You're a casual gamer. You want to save the most money you can while being able to play all of the PS5 games despite decreased performance.

Don't buy if: You really care about getting the sharpest graphics, the highest frames, the best ray tracing quality, and huge storage.

Price check: Best Buy $374 | Walmart $374 | Target $374View Deal

Let's break it down quick.

Reasons to buy a PS5 Pro: You want the latest and greatest tech. You want to play more games at 4K, 60fps. You want to be prepared for the latter half of the generation when games like Ghost of Yotei launch (games will be more graphically involved) You want more storage (2TB). You want to experience better ray tracing.

Reasons to buy a PS5: You are a casual gamer. You don't play too many games (smaller SSD). You play on performance mode. You don't have a 4K monitor or TV. You don't mind 30fps gameplay. You play indie games.

Only hardcore gaming enthusiasts should buy the PS5 Pro. I got the PS5 Pro and I am getting the most out of it right now because of that 2TB of storage. And I will be a happy camper when Ghost of Yotei launches. As far as the increased graphics performance, I haven't played any games that have applied to it. And if you're not playing graphically intensive games, then you'll find yourself in the same position.

My overall recommendation, especially for folks purchasing the console for family members over the holidays, just get the standard PS5 Slim at Amazon for $374. That is, unless, that relative REALLY cares about their graphics.

More PS5 deals

The Sony PS5 Slim is one of the best game consoles around. It packs powerful components, stunning 4K graphics, backward compatibility, and 1TB of SSD storage.

Thanks to a high-speed SSD, deeper immersion haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and 3D audio, expect lightning-fast load times.

At $499, the Sony PS5 NBA 2K25 Console Bundle(Digital Edition) is an excellent value. This bundle includes a PlayStation 5 disc-less console, DualSense wireless controller, and a full game download of NBA 2K25 (valued at $70).

Apple Watch Black Friday deals: Grab an Apple Watch for only $149!

rael.hornby@futurenet.com (Rael Hornby) — Thu, 28 Nov 2024 12:28:26 +0000

Black Friday is now in full swing, and your attention will be strained as hundreds of deals on fantastic tech come flying your way over the coming weekend as we approach Cyber Monday.

However, amid that chaos we're bringing you the latest and greatest deals on Apple smartwatches you can find online, including one offer that you'll literally have to pinch yourself to believe.

The Apple Watch is typically subject to some pretty tame discounts. However, breaking that trend, you can grab yourself the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) for just $149 at Amazon — a stunning $100 discount on Apple's already immaculately-priced fitness tracker, decimating its regular $249 asking price.

Killer Apple Watch deals are in short supply this Black Friday, and we're looking ahead to Cyber Monday to see what the Cupertino company has up its sleeve for us.

Still, there are some solid discounts to take advantage of during Black Friday. Let's take a look!

Today's best Black Friday Apple Watch deals

TOP DEAL

Save $100 on the 2nd generation 40mm Apple Watch SE 2 at Amazon this Black Friday.

This model comes with a Midnight aluminum casing and the Midnight Sport Band in size S/M (130-180mm wrists), giving is a sleek stealth look that's ideal for activity wear.

The Apple Watch SE 2 is a fitness tracker, a fashion statement, and one of the coolest techcessories on the market today. This impressive discount only makes it an even more desirable product.

Looking for a larger frame? You can save $80 on the Midnight aluminum 44mm Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) model too!

Features: Apple S8 chip, fall detection, GPS, Retina display up to 1000 nits, up to 18-hour battery life, emergency SOS, crash detection, 50-meter water resistance, built-in compass, always-on altimeterView Deal

If you love the deal above, but don't have wrists that fit, don't panic!

The biggest saving for the Apple Watch SE Gen 2 so far is pretty restrictive, especially on the wrists.

However, there's still a great saving to be found in the much more inclusive 2nd Gen Apple Watch SE, outfitted with the nylon One Size Ink Sport Loop.

You get the same sleek Midnight colorway as the above deal, but with a strap that suits all sizes while still securing an $80 discount on the Apple Watch SE's regular $249 price tag.

Just as with the above deal, if you're looking for a larger watch face, you can grab the 44mm Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) with One Size Sport Loop and save $80 off of its usual $279 price.

Save $70 on the Apple Watch Series 10 (GPS, 42mm) with Walmart's Black Friday sales.

This model features the Silver aluminum casing and the Blue Cloud One Size Sport Loop that's perfect for most wrists, offering a comfortable, sturdy fit for all activities.

The Apple Watch Series 10 has a wide array of fitness tracking capabilities, including everything from running to Pilates, yoga, kickboxing, and even golf! Of course, Apple's smartwatch also allows you to take and receive calls, use specific apps, and even make Apple Pay payments without reaching for your phone or wallet.

Looking for a larger watch face? You can also save $70 on the 46mm Rose Gold Apple Watch Series 10 (2nd Gen) with One Size Plum Sport Loop at Walmart.

Features: Apple S10 chip, fall detection, L1 GPS, Always-on Retina LTPO3 display up to 2000 nits, up to 18-hour battery life, emergency SOS, crash detection, fall detection, 50-meter water resistance, built-in compass, always-on altimeterView Deal

The new Yoga 7i 16 2-in-1 just dipped to an affordable $769 ahead of Black Friday

Sarah Chaney — Wed, 27 Nov 2024 23:22:33 +0000

I love a good 2-in-1 laptop, particularly Lenovo's Yoga 2-in-1 series. In fact, my daily driver laptop for years has been the Yoga 9i OLED 2-in-1, and I absolutely love it.

Today's deal isn't for my daily laptop configuration (though you can pick up a Yoga 9i OLED 2-in-1 for just $1,299 right now) but for an even more affordable configuration from Lenovo's Yoga 7i series.

It's true, you can pick up a 16-inch Yoga 7i 2-in-1 through Lenovo for only $769.

When you read these specs, you'll be even more amazed at how low Lenovo has priced this laptop for Black Friday.

It's equipped with Intel's Core Ultra 5 125U processor, which performed well during tests in our 16-inch Yoga 7i 2-in-1 review. Although its 9,415 Geekbench 6.1 score fell a bit short of the premium laptop average, the laptop "kept up well and never felt sluggish," even with 10+ browser tabs open, Laptop Mag reported then.

This Lenovo Yoga 7i config also features 16GB of RAM, 1TB of SSD storage, and a 16-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) IPS touchscreen display with 300 nits max brightness and a 60Hz refresh rate. These components worked together to help the laptop last 11 hours and 24 minutes in our battery test, well beyond the premium laptop average of 10 hours and 7 minutes.

The smaller 14-inch Yoga 7i 2-in-1 we reviewed had a similarly impressive battery life, lasting 12 hours and 57 minutes. In this review, we also positively noted the laptop's "minimalist aesthetic that never fails to please," silky trackpad, and "clicky, satisfying, and well-sized" keyboard. You'll find all of those same features on the larger 16-inch model.

All in all, the Yoga 7i 2-in-1 is an excellent pick if you're stuck between getting a laptop and a tablet. It performs well, lasts quite a while on a single charge, and its keyboard offers a rewarding typing experience.

If you're not convinced the Yoga 7i 2-in-1 is the right pick for you (or you want to browse before making a final decision), check out the other best Black Friday laptop deals we've rounded up for alternatives.

Laptop Mag: ★★★½

Buy it if: You want a tablet/laptop combo with a large display that can easily run multiple tasks simultaneously.

Don't buy it if: You'd prefer a traditional laptop that doesn't fold into a tablet, or if you're looking for something that can handle more graphics-intensive tasks like gaming or video editing.

Best HP Cyber Monday deals 2024: Save over $500 on top HP laptops for gaming, work, school, and more

Stevie Bonifield — Wed, 27 Nov 2024 23:15:09 +0000

HP laptops are frequently among the picks by Laptop Mag staffers, but they don't go on sale as often as we'd like. This is why Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the best time to buy one. I've been tracking the best extended Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on HP laptops and found some amazing discounts so you can save on your next laptop.

For example, the HP Spectre x360 14 is down to just $799 directly from HP! That's an incredible deal on this all-star laptop. It's currently ranked as Laptop Mag's best 2-in-1 laptop and received a shining Editor's Choice award in our review thanks to its phenomenal performance, great display, and stylish design.

Gamers are in luck, too. I found this massive $500 discount on the HP Omen Transcend gaming laptop at Target. That brings this otherwise pricey gaming laptop down to just $1,599 for a build with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card.

Those deals are just the tip of the iceberg. You can check out even more great Cyber Monday deals on HP laptops below!
