Hurry! Best Buy's knocking over $500 off this RTX 4070 OLED gaming laptop
Here's a great example: Asus' ROG Zephyrus G16 with an RTX 4070 is only $1,479 at Best Buy, which is over $500 off the usual $1,999 price and one of the best RTX 40 laptop deals I've seen.
At over 25% off that's the lowest price I've seen all year on this premium gaming laptop, which sports an eye-catching 16-inch 240Hz OLED display.
This Asus gaming laptop packs an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 laptop GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD. That's enough muscle to play most games well on the 16-inch QHD (2560 x 1600) 240Hz OLED display, which will make whatever games and movies you watch on it look fantastic.
As you can read in our Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 review, the G16 is easy on the eyes and more comfortable to carry than many 16-inch gaming laptops thanks to its streamlined design. Our reviewer was especially charmed by the brightness and colors of the 240HZ OLED screen, as well as the surprisingly good sound quality delivered by the laptop's quad speaker system.
I've been reviewing laptops for decades, and personally I've always felt a 16-incher is the sweet spot when it comes to gaming laptops because you get the maximum screen real estate while maintaining some vestige of portability.
Admittedly, while an RTX 4070 GPU is plenty for most modern games the 16GB of RAM and Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU mean you will have to rely on Nvidia's DLSS upscaling tech to get the best performance when playing the best PC games on this laptop. But you can absolutely have a blast with this thing when traveling this summer, and the comfy keyboard and touchpad help ensure you can get work done when you need to.
Just make sure to lug the charger with you and stay plugged in when doing anything serious, because this thing barely lasts an hour or two while gaming on battery—which is a weakness common to all the best gaming laptops these days.
This is one of the best PC gaming deals I've seen all month, but June's barely begun so stay tuned!

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is $600 off ahead of the new model's debut
Some people like to stay on the cutting edge of technology. If that's you, you already know that Google is going to officially unveil its Pixel 10 phones (including a new Fold) during its August 20th event. But if you're someone who prefers to use these opportunities to save on last-gen tech, you've been rewarded with a sweet deal on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The base 256GB version in obsidian (black) is down to $1,199 at Amazon and Best Buy, which is 33 percent off its original $1,799 price. It was selling for $100 more just last week. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold was a big leap forward compared to Google's first-gen foldable, touting a lightweight design that looks and feels like a normal phone before you unfold it. One of its main drawbacks was that, despite its high original price, you don't get the same great cameras in the cheaper Pixel 9 Pro (which, by the way, is only $599 at Best Buy). They're still good, mind you, but reviewer Allison Johnson said during her testing that its telephoto lens produced softer images by comparison, and low-light photos were less detailed. Drawbacks aside, she was eager to recommend the foldable phone at its original $1,800 price. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is nearly upon us, and it'll likely deliver some sizeable improvements. Google itself has already shown off its design in YouTube clips, and it's very similar to the model on sale now. However, there's a rumor that it might have an IP68 rating, which would make it dustproof. Dust was the kryptonite for early foldable models, but the tech has apparently come a long way since then, so this would be a huge selling point in favor of the new model if it's true.

Hurry! Best Buy sale has Samsung tablets from just $159
The first Labor Day sales of 2025 are slowly starting to appear. If you're in need of a new Android tablet, Best Buy has a sale you can't miss. For a limited time, Best Buy has Samsung tablets on sale from $159. It's one of the biggest Samsung tablet sales I've seen with discounts on some of the best Samsung tablets we've tested. Below I've picked out some of my top deals in Best Buy's sale. An entry-level Android tablet, the Samsung Galaxy A9+ features an 11-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a long-lasting 7,040mAh battery and a snappy Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chip. You also get 5MP front and 8MP back cameras. The Galaxy Tab S9 is great for watching movies and playing games. It features an 11-inch 2560 x 1600 AMOLED display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD. We also like that you can expand its storage capacity via its microSD/microSDXC card slots. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ is the middle child in Samsung's Galaxy Tab series. It features a 12.4-inch AMOLED 2800 x 1752 display, MediaTek MT6989 CPU, 12GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. It includes Samsung's S-Pen, which you can use to jot down notes or sketch. Released in late 2024, the Tab S10 Ultra is as premium as Android tablets get, boasting a massive 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED display which has to be seen to be believed. It also features a MediaTek MT6989 chipset, 12GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD.
