5 RTX 50 series gaming laptops to grab during Amazon Great Freedom Festival Sale
This one's a monster. With the top-end RTX 5090 GPU, 64 GB DDR5 RAM, and Intel's Ultra 9 275HX chip, it's overkill in the best way. Expect buttery 240Hz gameplay on its WQXGA 16-inch panel and enough thermal management to keep things chill. If you're building a gaming/editing beast, this is the alpha pick.
Same design, lighter load. The RTX 5080 version offers insane performance for a slightly lower price. You still get a 240Hz display, a generous 32 GB of RAM, and all the perks of HP's Omen software and AI chops. Ideal for creators and gamers who want premium without going all-in on 5090.
ASUS brings its signature RGB swagger here, with a 12 GB RTX 5070 Ti GPU, 140W TGP, and a snappy 240Hz QHD+ screen. The metal chassis is sleek, and the 32 GB RAM combo means zero stutter during high-load sessions. Great pick for streamers and competitive gamers.
This is the most balanced option of the lot. The RTX 5060 (115W) paired with Intel Ultra 9 still delivers strong 1440p performance. You get 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, and the same design and display perks as the pricier version—making it perfect for aspiring pros on a tighter budget.
Entry-level RTX 50 performance with a 13th Gen i7? Yes, please. The Victus packs an 8 GB RTX 5050, 144Hz display, and upgradeable RAM up to 24 GB. It's not flashy, but it's a smart pick for students and casual gamers looking for a future-ready setup under ₹ 1 lakh.
From full-blown powerhouses to mid-range monsters, the RTX 50 laptop wave has arrived—and Amazon's Freedom Festival is your shot at early deals. Keep your eyes on launch prices, bank offers, and early bird discounts starting July 31.

Trump 2.0's China playbook ruffles partners. Outreach to Pakistan, cold-shoulder to Taiwan during China talks raise concerns
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Is there a shift in Trump's China policy? While it's too early to make that call, there are worrying indications that point to a more accommodating Trump trade posture on China even if it means reversing his own security decisions. For India, the Quad and most of the Indo-Pacific, that's worrying as it's accompanied by no exception for allies or partners on the tariff begin with, he is cold-shouldering Taiwan while warming up to China's all-weather friend Pakistan. In June, Trump hosted Pakistan Army Chief Gen Asim Munir in Washington, but in the same month, his administration apparently cancelled a planned defence dialogue with Taiwan as trade talks with China were on. Just recently, Taiwan President Lai Ching-te called off a trip to South America because US did not allow him a stopover, though Taiwan sought to cover for the embarrassment by citing other pressing engagements as most glaring, one on which there is considerable discomfort within his own camp, is removing restrictions on Nvidia to resume selling of H20 chips to China for AI development. Trump had imposed these restrictions in April following China's surprise advancement with DeepSeek. It emerged that the H20 chips, which were customised for China and meant to be slightly less advanced than the high-end H100 Nvidia chips for AI, were in effect not that July 28, a bunch of former security officials, including Matt Pottinger, former Deputy NSA in Trump 1.0, wrote to US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick urging him to reconsider the decision. The letter stated that H20 was a "potent accelerator" of China's AI capabilities and was "not an outdated chip". It warned that H20 outperforms the H100 in "inference tasks" and should not be other worry highlighted in the letter was that H20 will never be restricted to just the civilian domain and will support China's military purposes under its "military-civil fusion strategy". But it appears the call was made during a meeting between Trump and Nvidia at an expensive Mar-a-Lago China has found this US backing-off difficult to digest. Its Cyberspace Administration summoned Nvidia officials with questions on whether the H20s have a backdoor that enables unauthorized access and surveillance. The US company has denied it, though Beijing is likely to carry out its own all the tough talk on China, these are significant concessions from Trump, some through individual deals and others due to the political pressures arising from squeezing Chinese supply chains, especially on rare earths and magnets, without credible actions, however, sit oddly with his MAGA politics and Trump's core support base. And so, indications are that they are going ahead with their own play in the US Congress. Amid all the cautiousness in White House on China, a bipartisan bill called the Uyghur Genocide Accountability and Sanctions Act of 2025 was moved recently in the US the legislation was moved by the Republican Senator Dan Sullivan, who chairs the Congressional-Executive Commission on China and co-sponsored by Republican Representative John Moolenaar, who heads the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. Several Democratic Congressmen have supported the legislation, which seeks to expand existing sanctions, imposes visa bans and restricts U.S. government contracts linked to forced many ways, the limits of Trump's transactional approach have hit the Chinese wall. Given China's dominance in trade and supply chains, the plan was always to adopt a coordinated strategy with allies and partners to develop alternatives. Because for now, China literally holds the the Trump Administration has ended up in a bargaining match with Beijing, which might get some purchase in the short term, but has put its main partners in building and executing the long-term counter China strategy in question - namely Taiwan and the Quad.

Foxconn sells Lordstown car factory for $375 million
Taiwan's Foxconn said on Monday it had struck a deal to sell the Lordstown former car factory in Ohio for $375 million, including its machinery, but said it would continue to use the site to make a broader range of products aligned with its strategic priorities. Foxconn, which makes data center products for Nvidia and assembles iPhones for Apple, did not elaborate on products to be manufactured at the plant, but said the cloud and networking product business in particularly showed "significant growth". A source with direct knowledge of the matter said the Ohio site would support artificial intelligence data centers , without specifying details. Foxconn purchased the plant, a former General Motors small-car factory named after the town in Ohio where it is based, in 2022 from now-bankrupt U.S. electric vehicle startup Lordstown Motors Corp for $230 million, as part of its efforts to expand into EVs. Foxconn also invested in Lordstown and the companies started making electric pickup trucks there. But the partnership later soured, with Lordstown going out of business and suing Foxconn. Foxconn said on Monday it sold the factory to an "existing business partner", without giving details. It also said the company remained committed to automotive customers in the U.S. and said it would be able to rapidly ramp up automotive production to meet customer demand when required. Foxconn has expanded beyond its traditional role as an iPhone assembler. Last week it formed a strategic partnership with industrial motor maker TECO Electric & Machinery to build data centres.
