Act fast to save $350 off one of the best gaming laptops with RTX 5070 Ti
I know because I review laptops for a living here at Tom's Guide, so I immediately noticed that the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 with RTX 5070 Ti GPU is on sale for $2,049 at Best Buy. That's $350 off the usual $2,399 price of this gaming laptop, which feels like a steal when you see its 14-inch 3K OLED 120Hz display.
This is a well-specced edition of one of the best 14-inch gaming laptops you can buy thanks to its 14-inch 3K 120Hz OLED display and the fact it's packing an AMD Ryzen 9 CPU, an Nvidia GeForce 5070 Ti laptop GPU, 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD to store all your favorite games.
We love these elegant little Asus gaming laptops because they deliver such a potent one-two combo of performance and portability, running even the latest games well on a gorgeous 14-inch display built into a surprisingly low-profile device that doesn't look out of place in a coffee shop.
But don't take my word for it. Read our Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) review to see what having and using one is really like, including a full rundown of the results of our performance and battery tests.
We regularly recommend this laptop because at under four pounds it's fairly easy to carry, yet modern games run and look great on its 3K (2,800 x 1,800 pixels) 120 Hz OLED screen. Plus, the OLED panel supports HDR and Nvidia G-Sync for smooth gameplay at high framerates.
The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU gives you more than enough muscle to run AI apps, and it pairs well with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU and 32GB of RAM to run even demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty pretty well. You can play them on your big TV or gaming monitor when you want, too thanks to the HDMI 2.1 connector on the plentiful port array.
For all these reasons and more the Zephyrus G14 is one of the best gaming laptops you can buy, and right now it's on sale for one of the lower prices I've ever seen!

The Lenovo 15.6″ Laptop Is Almost Too Cheap to Be Real, Back-to-School Timing Couldn't Be Better
Trying to write a research paper on one half of a split screen or keep a dozen browser tabs open on an aging computer can feel like balancing books on a wobbly shelf. The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15.6″ Full HD Laptop gives that shelf a sturdier frame. Open the lid and you see a bright, roomy display made for side-by-side windows, while the lightweight build rides easily from a kitchen table to a classroom desk without turning your backpack into dead weight. Head over to Best Buy to get the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15.6″ Full HD Laptop for just $230, down from its usual price of $450. That's a discount of $220 and 49% off. See at Best Buy The screen is the first real treat. Full HD resolution keeps lecture notes crisp and colors lively, and the narrow borders give you more picture without extra plastic. A matte finish helps tame glare, so sunlight through a café window won't wash out your spreadsheets. The Arctic Grey chassis looks professional enough for an internship interview yet casual enough for late-night streaming. Under the hood, an Intel Core i3-N305 processor teams up with 8 gigabytes of memory to handle typical multitasking without the spinning-wheel frustration. You can keep a video call running, edit a slide deck, and stream a study playlist all at once without watching the system stutter. A fast 128-gigabyte UFS drive means Windows wakes from sleep in seconds and apps pop open before you lose your train of thought. Typing is comfortable thanks to a full-size keyboard that includes a number pad for quick data entry. Keystrokes feel steady rather than mushy, so long essays flow without extra hand strain. The large touchpad supports multi-finger gestures, making it easy to zoom into PDFs or swipe between virtual desktops. Above the display, a 720p webcam keeps you looking clear on group calls, and a physical shutter slides across when privacy matters. Ports are friendly to real-world gear. Two USB-A slots welcome everything from presentation clickers to flash drives, while a USB-C port handles quicker data moves and doubles as an extra charging option. HDMI lets you plug into a dorm TV or conference room projector, and Wi-Fi 6 keeps connections stable even when everyone else in the apartment is streaming. Battery life stretches through lectures and still leaves enough juice for an evening recap of notes. A quick-charge feature bumps the level during lunch, so you return to work feeling ready rather than tethered. The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15.6″ Full HD Laptop remains available for $230 at Best Buy, a noticeable drop from the regular $450 price and a welcome upgrade for anyone tired of juggling slow, cluttered screens.

The best iPad deals you can get in August
If you know where to look, it's surprisingly easy to save on an iPad — even outside of major sales events like Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday. Here's an insider tip: skip the Apple Store, where discounts are almost nonexistent. Instead, your best bet is to check third-party retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy, which frequently offer deals on everything from the entry-level iPad to the powerhouse iPad Pro, making it possible to snag a bargain any time of the year. Apple's tablet lineup now includes six different iPads, which makes tracking deals across each configuration a full-time job. Fortunately, that's exactly what we're here for. Below, you'll find the best discounts on every current model. Want something for basic web browsing? The entry-level iPad is currently down to $299 ($50 off). Looking for more power to play games and edit videos? The iPad Pro with M4 chip is going for $899 ($100 off). No matter which one you choose, rest assured that every model below is set to receive iPadOS 26 in the fall, which is the most significant update the iPad has seen in 15 years. The 11th-generation iPad remains the most affordable tablet in Apple's lineup. While the newest model isn't drastically different from its 10th-gen predecessor, it does offer a few key differences. One notable change is the increase to 128GB of base storage, up from 64GB. Additionally, the new model features Apple's A16 Bionic chip, providing better overall performance when browsing the web, opening apps, and watching videos. That being said, the base iPad still doesn't support Apple Intelligence despite the faster chip, meaning you can't take advantage of features like the ability to generate images and text. It will, however, support iPadOS 26's windowed multitasking feature when the update arrives later this year. Currently, the 11th-gen iPad starts at $349 with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage. Upgrading to 256GB or 512GB of storage will run you an extra $100 or $200, respectively, while the LTE model starts at $499. The base model recently dropped to $279 ($70 off) during Amazon's most recent Prime Day event, proving that, if you're patient, it's possible to save a good chunk on the MSRP. That said, there are great deals to be had throughout the year. For example, the aforementioned base configuration is currently down to $299 ($50 off) — its second-best price to date — at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. Alternatively, the 256GB model is $399 ($50 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy, while the 512GB variant is available for around $598 ($51 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. While the seventh-gen iPad Mini looks nearly identical to its predecessor, it offers a few notable upgrades, including compatibility with the Apple Pencil Pro. The Pencil Pro brings features like squeeze controls for quick tool switching and a so-called 'barrel roll' function, which lets you change the orientation of your stroke by rotating the stylus. The Mini also includes a newer A17 Pro processor with 8GB of RAM to support Apple Intelligence, and the base storage has increased to 128GB, up from 64GB. Otherwise, it retains many of the hallmarks found on its last-gen predecessor, including an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, a Touch ID sensor, and an estimated 10 hours of battery life when browsing on Wi-Fi. The 2024 iPad Mini starts at $499 with 128GB of storage — the same price as the previous generation's 64GB model. If you need more room for all your photos and apps, the 256GB and 512GB versions will set you back $599 and $799, respectively. Want to add cellular? That starts at $649. These are hefty price tags for such a small device, which might have you eyeing the larger iPad Air if you're after more screen for your buck. But if you're loyal to the compact form factor for tasks like reading, the iPad Mini is still the one to beat. The iPad Mini dropped to just $379, an all-time low, during Prime Day; however, the current discounts aren't nearly as dramatic, with the 128GB base model going for $474 ($25 off) at Amazon. You can also pick up the 256GB variant at Amazon and Walmart starting around $569 ($30 off), or the 512GB model at Amazon and B&H Photo for $779 ($20 off). The seventh-gen iPad Air sits between the entry-level iPad and the more powerful iPad Pro. It's available in 11-inch and 13-inch configurations, both of which are powered by Apple's speedy M3 chip and compatible with the latest Apple Intelligence features. The Air also works with the updated Magic Keyboard, which now includes a full row of function keys for controlling volume and screen brightness. There's not a ton that's new with the latest Air compared to the prior model, but the bump in power should allow it to last longer. The 11-inch iPad Air starts at $599, and the 13-inch version comes in at $799. While the starting prices are high, the tablet regularly goes on sale, with the 11-inch Air dipping to as low as $479 during events like Prime Day. Right now, for instance, the 11-inch Air with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage is on sale at Amazon and Walmart starting at $547.27 (about $52 off). The 256GB version is on sale for $629 ($70 off) at Amazon and B&H Photo, while the 512GB model is down to $811.47 (about $88 off) at B&H Photo. If you're after the larger configuration, the 13-inch model with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage is currently on sale at Amazon and Walmart for around $725 ($75 off). Meanwhile, Amazon and Walmart are offering the configuration with Wi-Fi and 256GB of storage for $815.73 (about $84 off), while the 512GB variant with Wi-Fi is down to $1,000.88 (about $100 off) at Amazon and Walmart. The seventh-gen iPad Pro is the most impressive tablet in Apple's lineup, one that features the company's latest M4 chip and a crisp, 'Tandem OLED' display. It has dedicated hardware for Apple Intelligence processing, a four-speaker setup for richer sound, and a repositioned front-facing camera along the horizontal edge, so you can keep the device in landscape during video calls. The more advanced tech, however, comes at a high price. The 11-inch iPad Pro starts at $999 — the same price as the latest 13-inch MacBook Air — while the larger 13-inch model starts at $1,200. The good news is that the iPad Pro regularly goes on sale. The 11-inch iPad Pro with 256GB of storage is currently down to $899 ($100 off) at Amazon and B&H Photo, while the 512GB model is down to $1,089.90 (about $109 off) at Amazon. Stepping up to the 1TB model — which will provide you with even more room for apps, photos, and videos — will run you $1,459 ($140 off) at Amazon and Walmart. If you want more screen real estate, the 13-inch model with 256GB is around $1,179 ($120 off) at Amazon and Walmart. Meanwhile, the 512GB model is down to $1,359.86 (about $140 off) at Amazon and Walmart, while the 1TB model is available at Amazon and Walmart for $1,631 ($268 off). You can also grab the 2TB model for $2,084 ($215 off) at Amazon and Walmart. Sign up for Verge Deals to get deals on products we've tested sent to your inbox weekly.

Sonos confirms reports of Roam speakers overheating and catching fire
Sonos can't seem to catch a break. In the last few days, a number of first-gen Sonos Roam owners have reported the Bluetooth speakers are overheating and, in some cases, partially melting or setting on fire. The company acknowledged the problem in a statement to Bloomberg while saying that there are a "very low" number of complaints that the company has "closely tracked." The company is not issuing a recall at this time. The recent Reddit posts showed photos of the Roam USB-C charging port partially melted and charred. There are some older posts from a few months ago reporting similar problems. Some Redditors claimed that Sonos replaced their speakers which had similar problems. This may be a known problem. A search on the official Sonos Community forums reveals a number of posts concerning melted, burned or smoking charging ports and cables from up to a year ago. Other indicate overheating in that area. From what we can tell the Sonos Roam 2, released last year, does not seem to have this charging problem. A spokesperson went on to say that environmental conditions may play a role but it wasn't elaborated on. Additionally, they said that the company has taken "several proactive steps" to prevent the issue from occurring via software updates and hardware improvements. What those steps entailed was not elaborated on. Tom's Guide has reached out to Sonos for clarification on the conditions that could cause the issue and how it is "reducing the likelihood" of it happening. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. It all comes after a period of relative quiet for the beleaguered audio company which couldn't stop stepping on rakes in 2024, thanks to the release of a busted version of the Sonos app that outraged customers and eventually cost former-CEO Patrick Spence his job and delayed or halted a number of projects at the company. Sonos only recently named interim CEO Tom Conrad as the official new head of Sonos in July. Tom's Guide has reached out to Sonos for more information on the Roam speakers and how it is addressing the problem. Meanwhile, the Sonos Move 2 is excellent, and as far as we're aware doesn't suffer from overheating. It is twice as expensive though.
