It’s a good day to make a serious upgrade to your current home PC set-up. Best Buy is selling a Dell 32-inch curved 1440p display for $300. That’s $110 off the MSRP and an excellent price for a QHD display.
A 1440p display is noticeable step-up from 1080p, but it’s not nearly as resource intensive as jumping to 4K. It’ll still require a better GPU than a budget 1080p graphics card, but you don’t have to jump all the way up to something like Nvidia’s GeFor
If you need an extra pair of eyes in the living room or study, Amazon has the deal for you today. The online retailer is selling Anker’s Eufy Security Solo IndoorCam C24 for $29.62. That’s the best price this year. To get the deal, you need to clip the $4 off coupon underneath the price on the product page.
We haven’t reviewed this camera, but it’s well liked on Amazon with 4.5 out of 5 stars from nearly 6,000 user reviews. The devices features 2K (2304-by-1296) vide
Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Go 2 on Wednesday, an updated model that goes to 11 by swapping in a more powerful 11th-gen Intel Core processor and a full-fledged Windows 11 install, in exchange for a slightly higher starting price of $599. It’s more repairable, too.
Microsoft debuted the Surface Laptop Go in 2020, and the basic premise hasn’t changed that much; the lineup is Microsoft’s attempt to bring its Surface brand to a budget audience. Our review of the Sur
Earlier this month, Intel announced Alder Lake HX, a new series of 12th-generation mobile processors. Well—not strictly mobile. These new work-focused laptop CPUs are based on the company’s desktop Alder Lake chips, but in a BGA package. (That is, it’s soldered onto the motherboard, rather than being in a standard socketed LGA package that you can swap out like in a desktop PC.)
As you might guess, these new 12th-gen Core HX chips are much beefier than their standard

The Steam Deck wasn’t the first tiny PC to take inspiration from portable game consoles. But its unbeatable price is one of its standout features, since the nearest competitors in the same form factor are more than twice as expensive as the Steam Deck’s $400 base model. But Valve won’t hold on to its price advantage for very long. Two different companies which already have well-received portable gaming machines on the market are preparing even cheaper alternatives.

So the 3.5mm audio jack on your laptop has given up the ghost, and getting it fixed is too much of a pain. (This is the conclusion you’ve reluctantly come to after troubleshooting the audio issues on your PC.) No problem—you can easily fix this issue with a simple accessory.
An external sound card adapter can take the signal from your analog headphones, microphone, or combination headset and convert it to a digital one passed over USB. You can find these starting around $8, but
The Microsoft Store is the butt of many a joke in the Windows community, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing worth downloading on it. Today Microsoft is honoring the best of the best applications you can get in the Store, and honestly, they’re pretty dang good! The App Awards are worth a quick look if you’re hunting for some high-quality tools to add to your PC.
Some of the choices are a bit rote — does anyone really need a dedicated app to watch Disney+? &m
There’s nothing a like a well-priced convertible laptop to start off a short week. Right now, Walmart is selling the 14-inch Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i for $279. That’s $260 off the MSRP and a good price for a convertible laptop with a touchscreen.
The IdeaPad Flex 5i is, like many laptops in this price range, short on storage–128GB total. So, this device will be best suited for someone who primarily works in the cloud like a student. For the CPU, Lenovo chose the Intel &ldqu
If you’re someone who stores a ton of files, you’re going to need a lot of storage. All you need is a spare drive bay and room on the motherboard to connect it. If that’s you, then head on over to Newegg today. The online retailer is selling the 2.5-inch 1TB Team Group CX2 for $65–$24 off the MSRP. That’s an excellent price for this amount of storage.
This SSD is considered entry-level, so we wouldn’t recommend it as a primary drive. That said, it would
