Gaming laptops are always desirable even if you’re not gaming because they come with a ton of power packed into a lightweight frame. However, gaming laptops can be expensive, but that doesn’t mean great Prime Day deals can’t be found for them. Just take a look at this deal from Dell on its G16 gaming laptop. Normally sold for $1,500, the laptop manufacturer is now offering it for a $1,000. Which saves you $500! You could use that money to add accessories to your gaming setup like the mice and chairs featured on our roundup of the best Razer Prime Day deals.
If you’re a gamer on-the-go you can’t really go wrong with the Dell G16 gaming laptop. Especially at this price. This particular laptop’s configuration comes with one of the latest generation Intel processors (a powerful 13th generation Intel Core i9), a Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card, a respectable 16GB of RAM, and a roomy 1TB of SSD (solid-state drive) storage. You’re also getting a large screen at 16 inches and the QHD+ display comes with a 2560 x 1600 resolution and a fast 240Hz refresh rate. You can also expect to see a backlit keyboard (great for gaming in low light), a wide variety of ports (including HDMI, Thunderbolt 4, and a headset port), and Dolby Audio and noise cancellation software. You’ll get all that and more in a compact, six-pound design and at a substantially lower price.
A gamer looking to upgrade their gaming laptop to more of a mid-range model, would be hard-pressed to find a better deal than this.
If this laptop meets all of your current gaming needs, why not buy it at a $500 discount? Dell’s deal on this laptop probably won’t last forever, so you may want to act fast. But if the laptop isn’t quite what you had in mind, be sure to check out our roundup of the best Prime Day gaming laptop deals for more ideas.
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Google DeepMind's AI world model Genie 4 can now build interactive worlds that you can explore and reshape as they run. It also generates ambient sounds, music, and dialogue that respond to your actions.
The new world model builds on Genie 3 with improved realism, more natural human movement, and better simulations of real-world physics. It could eventually help with everything from game development to training robots.
Apple has an incredible talent for making me admire its products while simultaneously questioning what on earth it's thinking with the pricing. This isn't even something as bizarre as a monitor stand, but the audacity for starting a new laptop lineup from $2,000 doesn't surprise me.
The newly announced 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 is just the latest to showcase this. The funny thing is, I already know that it's going to be a reliable workstation. You get a powerful new 2nm M6 processor, a gorgeous Liquid Retina XDR display, and up to 24 hours of battery life. We were impressed by the M5 MacBook Air, so the high-end M6 powered MacBook Pro definitely won't let us down.
