Laptops, desktop computers, and even tablets are always on sale, but one related peripheral you don’t always see discounted is a good selection of monitors. Desktops need monitors, obviously, but you can also plug laptops, tablets, and even game consoles into them provided they have the right inputs. Often supporting higher resolutions and higher framerates, perfect for gaming and graphic design, monitors are the way to go, but they sure can be expensive. If you’ve been waiting for a great deal on one, you’ll be happy to know GIGABYTE just rolled out a bunch for September. From a 27-inch up to a 34-inch, these monitor deals are off the charts. You need to see them.
The GIGABYTE GS27QC is a 27-inch QHD monitor, with a slightly curved design, capable of a 165Hz smooth refresh rate and 1ms response time. The maximum supported resolution is 2560 by 1440 and it’s HDR and FreeSync Premium ready. It makes for a great secondary monitor or a primary if you want to connect your laptop while sitting at a desk, especially with the current discount. This deal saves you $40.
Looking for a more immersive experience? This 34-inch ultrawide QHD curved monitor perfectly wraps around you and makes you feel like you’re in the virtual worlds you’re exploring. It features a 120Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and AMD FreeSync compatibility.

Equipped with GIGABYTE’s KVM technology, you can connect and control multiple devices with just this monitor — via USB Type-C.

Now, it’s time for the big guns. This 32-inch curved gaming monitor offers UHD 4K resolution support at 3840 by 2160. Usually, a higher resolution means a lower refresh rate, but not here. You still get a smooth refresh rate of 144Hz with a 1ms response time, HDR400 and KVM controls via USB Type-C. This deal saves you $100.
If you want the best of the best, here you go.

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.
Two new highly requested iCloud plugins just got added to ChatGPT, giving people who rely on Apple’s Mail and Calendar services a way to search emails, check appointments, and manage their schedules directly through the chatbot.
