If you’re thinking of building or upgrading a PC, then you’ll really want to grab yourself some great Cyber Week deals on RAM. A lot of folks may not really think about RAM because it’s not as big of a deal as a GPU or CPU, but RAM can affect performance, so it’s worth grabbing something good. Not only that, but certain operating systems, like Windows 11, love to eat up RAM, so upgrading it can make a huge difference to your day-to-day experience, especially if you’re only running 8GBs. That’s why we’ve gone out and collected some of our favorite Cyber Week RAM deals below.

While most people are probably either running 8GB of RAM or even 16GB of RAM, upgrading with this two-pack that brings you up to a total of 32GB is going to make a world of difference. That’s especially so given that it’s going for just $52 after a 35% discount.
Even though most folks tend to think of upgrading their desktop RAM, the truth is that a lot of laptops can have their RAM upgraded too, and this kit from Crucial will net you a total of 32GB. That’s a pretty substantial number and great for those who use a gaming laptop or do a lot of programming and CAD work.
While it’s not usual to see DDR5 RAM at a smaller capacity like 16GB, this is a great kit for those who are trying to go for a modern budget build and don’t want to spend nearly $100 or more on a 32GB set. Even better, it’s been discounted from $70 down to $65.
For those who have a newer laptop, you’re probably using the latest DDR5 RAM, so you’ll instead want this kit from Crucial, which looks a bit nicer, not that you would see it under the laptop. Even so, you get 32GB of RAM for $82 instead of $110, which is pretty great all things considered.
If you’re putting together a desktop with a modern motherboard or have a newer gaming PC, then this DDR5 RAM kit for just $99 will net you 32GB of RAM. It’s blazing fast too at 6400Mhz, and if you have a see-through case, then the RGB lights also add a nice touch.
When it comes to RAM, you’ll essentially choose between DDR4 and DDR5, with older computers that are 4-5 years old or older most likely using DDR4. It’s worth noting that the two are not interchangeable, and if you have use DDR4, then your motherboard will not accept DDR5 RAM, meaning a RAM upgrade will likely mean a motherboard upgrade as well. Take a look at our guide “DDR5 vs. DDR4 RAM: Is DDR5 worth it?” before taking the considerable financial plunge.
Another thing to consider is how much RAM you actually need. This can be a bit of a complicated question depending on many variables and even your own usage, but the long and short of it is that 8GB is really the minimum, with 16GB being the ideal, except if you have a gaming laptop or desktop, in which case 16GB of RAM is the minimum. Either way, you can absolutely go for more than that, and it will give you a smoother day-to-day experience, but it’s not very necessary outside of specific uses, such as CAD or programming work.
It’s also worth noting that miss-matching RAM speeds can be a problem, so be sure they are always running the same Mhz and CL if you can.
Luckily, finding a good RAM deal isn’t difficult, especially since there are only five or six various companies that make RAM, and they’re all relatively well-known in terms of their quality. To that end, we’ve done our best to pick the best quality deals we could find for both laptop and computer RAM. That doesn’t only mean going with a well-known brand name that has great specs but also finding the deals that give you the best return for your money within the context of other RAM deals.
At the end of the day, it’s important to us that you feel confident in any choices you make.
The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
