It's Been a Weak Prime Day for Gaming Laptops, With This Exception
Prime Day sales on gaming laptops have been weak. But the ROG Strix G16 comes with the latest GPUs at discounted prices to save the day. All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. This has not been a good year for Prime Day gaming laptop deals. We've been collecting the best Prime Day deals all week (and liveblogging the whole event) There's a lot of outdated, previous-gen laptops flooding the virtual Amazon store shelves, most of which are not discounted enough to be worth buying with the new RTX 50-series graphics having just come out. There's one diamond in the rough though—and it's a laptop I tested out recently, the Asus ROG Strix G16. It's one of the best gaming laptops you can buy. But hold tight, because there are a number of configurations on sale, and as often in tech, the devil's in the details. The biggest discounts are on the lower end configuration. It includes an RTX 4070, 32 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage, which is identical physically to the model I tested and was quite impressed with. It's 22 percent off, bringing the price down to $1,800—the lowest price I've ever seen it. Now, there's also an RTX 4060 configuration on sale for $1,360, which is 20 percent off the retail price. It has the same storage and display, except with just 16 GB of RAM. That's a really solid deal for the price. Importantly, both of these laptops come with 2560 x 1600 resolution display and a 240-Hz refresh rate. These are, of course, last-gen Nvidia GPUs. But as has been well-documented, the increase to the newer RTX 50-series wasn't as big of an improvement in raw performance as we all hoped for. One of the biggest limitations was in VRAM. Both the RTX 5070 and 5060 still only come with 8GB of VRAM. There's no getting around that limitations of these GPUs, which can cause some performance issues in some modern, AAA titles. You can get 12 GB of VRAM in the RTX 5070 Ti, but normally, you won't find a gaming laptop with that GPU for under $2,000. Nvidia may have stated that we'd be able to buy them starting at $1,600 when they were announced, but that has not played out over the past few months. For example, I tested an AMD version of this laptop with the RTX 5070 Ti, but it costs $2,500. For Prime Day, though, Amazon is selling a brand-new version of the ROG Strix G16 with an RTX 5070 Ti for $2,000. That's $400 off the retail price. It has a slightly streamlined shape over the previous model, and comes with a new tool-less design that gives you easy access to upgrading or swapping out RAM or storage. I haven't reviewed this newer model myself yet, but I did see it at CES earlier this year, and the tool-less system really is neat.

The best Prime Day gaming deals from laptops and peripherals to the latest video games
Summer is a great time to play games because no matter how hot it is outside, you can chill inside with your favorite titles and explore all sorts of virtual worlds. But even when you have a big backlog of titles to chew through, if your gaming machine and accessories aren't on point, it might feel like you aren't really maximizing your entertainment time. So in order to help you upgrade your gaming setup during Amazon Prime Day, we've combed through hundreds of products ranging from controllers to battery packs, headphones, monitors and more to figure out the best deals around. DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake (PS5/Nintendo Switch) for $35 ($25 off) The Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is a fantastic update to a truly wonderful JRPG classic. It features an updated HD-2D art style along with some nice quality-of-life changes and UI improvements. But at its core, it has the same great story and turn-based combat that set the world on fire back in 1988. And because the Switch 2 is backwards compatible, this could be a great title to play on Nintendo's latest handheld, though you can always opt for the PS5 version instead. $35 at Amazon Star Wars Outlaws - Limited Edition (Amazon Exclusive), PlayStation 5 for $29 ($30 off) At full price, this game was easy to skip. But now that it's available for just $29 (half off its normal retail price), Star Wars Outlaws suddenly becomes a lot more interesting for fans of the franchise. You get to live out your dreams of being an intergalactic scoundrel while taking down bounties or battling secret crime syndicates. And because this is the limited edition, the game includes some pre-order rewards like the Kessel Run bonus pack and the Rogue Infiltrator bundle. Assassin's Creed Shadows - Limited Edition for PS5/XBOX for $48 ($20 off) If you missed the latest entry in Ubisoft's most well-known franchise, this might be the time to jump in because for Prime Day, Assassin's Creed Shadows is available for $48, more than $20 off its regular retail price. This installment has you explore feudal Japan as either the shinobi Naoe or the legendary samurai Yasuke while encountering some notable figures from the time period. If all you want is a wonderful world to sneak around in, it's hard to go wrong with Assassin's Creed on a discount. ASUS ROG Strix G16 Gaming Laptop with RTX 4060 for $1360 ($340 off) While an RTX 4060 isn't the most powerful GPU on the market, getting a whole new laptop with solid specs for just $1,350 isn't something you can just ignore, especially if you're on a budget. This ROG Strix G16 comes with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. And while its Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU is one generation old, it's still plenty fast enough for gaming, video editing or pretty much anything else you need to do. I also appreciate small features like a MUX switch that lets the laptop connect directly to the GPU for increased performance, though if you want, you can also enable automatic switching for better battery life. And with a 16-inch 240Hz QHD display with 100% DCI-P3 coverage, everything on screen is sure to look great. Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) RAM for $95 ($25 off) Adding some extra memory to your desktop can help unlock its full potential. So for Prime Day, Corsair is offering two 16GB sticks of its Vengeance DDR5 RAM for just $95. Not only do you get built-in RGB lighting, Corsair's onboard voltage regulation makes it simpler to overclock your system. And for those who don't want to mess around in BIOS settings, you can control almost everything from the easy-to-use free iCue app. Thermaltake GF1 (2024) Fully Modular ATX 850W Power Supply for $80 ($30 off, lowest ever price) Even though power supplies aren't the most exciting component you can put in your desktop, the importance of a good one can't be understated. For just $80, which is the lowest price we've seen to date for this product, the Thermaltake GF1 is fully modular (which means you can add or remove power cables as you need them) and has an ample max power of 850 watts along with an 80 Plus Gold rating for efficiency. And thanks to its 140mm fan, it should be pretty quiet so it won't cause a ruckus if you decide to play some games at night. Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB PCIe M.2 SSD for $120 ($57 off) If you're like me and are constantly running out of storage, this deal for one of Samsung's 990 EVO Plus 2TB M.2 SSDs is a fantastic way to add extra room on the cheap. With a 35% discount for Prime Day down to $120, this is the lowest price we've ever seen. And it's not like you're cutting corners on speed either, as the SSD supports both PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 5.0 x2 and read/write rates of up to 7,250/6,300MB/s. AMD Ryzen 5 9600X 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Processor for $165 ($110 off) The Ryzen 5 9600X isn't super flashy, but it's a really solid budget CPU. And now, it's even more affordable during Prime Day where it's going for just $165, which is $110 off its normal retail price. It features six cores and 12 total threads with a max boost speed of 5.4GHz and support for DDR5 RAM and PCIe Gen 5. It's also unlocked, so you have the freedom to overlock if you want. That said, you will need to buy a CPU cooler separately, as one doesn't come in the box. AMD Ryzen 9 9950X 16-Core, 32-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor for $434 ($215 off) The biggest issue with the Ryzen 9 9950X CPU was that at launch, it was a bit overpriced. But during Prime Day, that problem is being addressed thanks to a $215 discount that brings its cost down to under $500. The CPU features 16 cores and 32 threads along with 80MB of cache and support for DDR5 RAM and PCIe Gen 5. However, like some of AMD's other processors on sale this week, you will need to get a CPU cooler separately. Razer Enki Gaming Chair for $450 ($50 off) If you're going to be spending all day in front of a screen gaming, you better make sure whatever you're sitting on is super comfy. And as I've been using the Razer Enki every day for the last four years, I can attest that this chair is worth the money. It has a ton of adjustability for things like the arm rests, seat height and more. For more flexible folks, it was even designed so people can sit cross-legged. I also appreciate that in homes where neon green might not fit your vibe, there's an all-black model (plus a pink one too, though that one is currently sold out). Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 for $120 ($30 off, lowest ever) If you've ever dreamed about becoming a gaming streamer or simply want some extra customizable controls for your PC, Elgato's Stream Deck MK.2 could make a great addition to your setup. It has 15 programmable macro keys with built-in LCD displays so you can make custom buttons for switching scenes, turning on lights and so much more. Elgato also has plugins for services like YouTube, Twitch, Discord, so it'll play nicely with all the major streaming platforms. In short, it's like a command center for all your content creation and livestreaming needs. Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse for $30 ($20 off) The Logitech G305 Lightspeed gaming mouse is just a simple PC peripheral done well. And at just $30, it's super affordable during Prime Day too. It features six programmable buttons, compatibility with both PCs and Macs and a sensor with sensitivity of up to 12,000 DPI. Meanwhile, thanks to a battery that lasts up to 250 hours between charges, you can go weeks between needing to plug it in. And because it's wireless, there won't be any cords or cables to get in your way. 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller for Windows PC and Android for $21 ($9 off) If you just need an all-around solid gamepad for Windows or Android, it's hard to do better than 8BitDo's Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller — especially now that it's available for as little as $21 (depending on color) during Prime Day. Not only does it have precise Hall Effect joysticks, you also get a strong 2.4GHz wireless connection and BT support for added flexibility. The extra buttons for L4 and R4 are fully remappable and you can configure them without the need for additional software, which is a nice touch. 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard for $80 ($20 off) With its Retro Mechanical Keyboard, 8BitDo strikes a great balance between a nostalgic design and support for more modern features like wireless connectivity (both BT and 2.4GHz). There are several different versions to choose from, though the one inspired by the classic NES is the model I'd choose. The keyboard features an 87-key layout with PBT keycaps and Kailh Box switches, though because the PCB is hot swappable, you can always change them out for something else. Sony INZONE H9 Wireless Gaming Headset for $198 ($100 off) For anyone looking for a new pair of over-the-ear wireless gaming headphones to pair with a PS5, it's hard to do better than Sony's INZONE H9 headset. Not only does it have a similar design to the console, they are the only other headphones besides the official Pulse cans that support on-screen status notifications for volume, mic mute, game/chat balance and more. They also share a lot of the underlying tech used in Sony's iconic WH-1000XM line, so you'll get fantastic audio quality and active noise cancellation. But the best part is that at $198, you're looking at a serious discount of 34%, which is more than $100 off its regular retail price. Seagate Storage Expansion Card 2TB Solid State Drive for $210 ($20 off) Games are getting bigger every day, so if you need some extra storage for your Xbox Series S or X, you'd be silly not to pick up one of Seagate's 2TB Expansion Cards for just $210. That's enough room for a dozen or more digital titles (or like three versions of Call of Duty) and it's the biggest SSD storage module that slots into the back of the console without the need for a separate box. Razer Enki Gaming Chair for $450 ($50 off) If you're going to be spending all day in front of a screen gaming, you better make sure whatever you're sitting on is super comfy. And as I've been using the Razer Enki every day for the last four years, I can attest that this chair is worth the money. It has a ton of adjustability for things like the arm rests, seat height and more. For more flexible folks, it was even designed so people can sit cross-legged. I also appreciate that in homes where neon green might not fit your vibe, there's an all-black model (plus a pink one too, though that one is currently sold out). Amazon Basics UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector 800VA/450W for $65 ($10 off) I'm not here to nag, but if you have a desktop PC, you really ought to consider adding a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to your setup as they prevent power surges or momentary outages from knocking your system offline. Plus, this one has a beefy 450-watt battery backup and 12 outlets so you can connect all of your other PC gadgets to it. So if you're going to do the smart thing by adding some extra electrical protection to your home during Prime Day, you might as well save some money in the process. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (512GB) for 1,070 ($350 off) With Samsung's next Unpacked event expected to show off new foldables, it looks like some of the existing models are getting some serious discounts for Prime Day including the Galaxy S25 Ultra. And at $1,070, this is the lowest price we've seen for Samsung's current flagship phone yet. For gamers, thanks to its Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, the S25 Ultra offers some of the best performance you can get in a phone right now, while its built-in vapor chamber should help prevent throttling. Its 6.9-inch AMOLED display is also one of the best mobile screens on the market today. Google Pixel Tablet for $249 ($150 off, lowest price ever) The Pixel Tablet isn't meant to be a dedicated gaming device, but as something that can play casual titles (my current favorite is Sword of Convallaria ) while also offering some nifty smart home features, this is a great shared device that can live on your coffee table. Plus, at just $249, this is the lowest price we've seen for the Pixel Tablet yet. And if you go for Google's optional speaker dock, you get a well-rounded device for playing music, browsing the web or watching shows that you can easily carry from room to room. Razer Kishi Ultra for $100 ($50 off) Razer doesn't normally run a ton of deals for Prime Day, but it seems this year the company is making an exception as there are discounts on everything from gamepads to headsets and more. That said, one of the standout deals is for the Kishi Ultra gaming controller. On top of just being a well-built gamepad add-on for phones and tablets, its larger dimension and USB-C port means it works with a huge range of devices — both Android and iOS. This even includes more niche devices like foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold series, which often don't fit inside other mobile gamepads due to their unique design. Sony 85-Inch Class 4K Ultra HD BRAVIA 3 LED TV for $1,098 ($500 off) There's no better way to upgrade your living room gaming setup than with a brand new big ass TV. Granted, the Bravia 3 is one of Sony's entry-level models (fancier sets get higher numbers), but with a discounted price of $1,098 for a massive 85-inch panel, this deal represents one of the biggest screens you can get for the money. It also has Google TV built in, so you'll get a very simple and straightforward way to stream your favorite shows and movies from services like Netflix, HBO and more. But perhaps most importantly is that for PS5 owners, the Bravia 3 supports exclusive features when connected to a PS5 such as Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture mode. Alienware AW2725DF 26.7-inch OLED gaming monitor for $600 ($300 off) For anyone who has been waiting for prices of OLED gaming monitors to drop, this may be your chance to pounce on a great deal. That's because at $600, Alienware's 26.7-inch OLED display strikes a good balance between price and performance with a 360Hz refresh rate, 2560 x 1440 resolution and support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. And of course, you get those lovely pure blacks and vivid colors that OLED panels have become known for. Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 Series 57-inch 4K 240Hz 4K gaming for $1,600 ($700 off) This 57-inch monitor isn't for people with limited space. But if you've got the room, at $1,600, this is the lowest we've ever seen the Neo G9 as this deal represents a whopping $700 savings compared to its regular list price. This thing features a solid 240Hz refresh rate along with support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, a 1000R curve and Quantum mini LED tech with 2,392 local dimming zones. For people who love ultra-wide displays, this should be at the top of your upgrade list during Amazon Prime Day. UGREEN Magnetic Power Bank 10,000mAh fast charging battery pack for $20 ($15 off) The Switch 2 is a fantastic handheld, but its longevity could be better. So if you're planning to take it on a long trip, pick up UGREEN's 10,000mAH fast charging battery pack to help keep running when you're away from a plug. This power pack almost has enough juice to fully refill a Switch 2 twice, which can add between 5 and 12 hours of additional game time (depending on the title). It also has an output of 20 watts, which is as much as the Switch 2 can suck down at once, but it's still super pocketable measuring just four inches long and 0.7 inches thick. And if you need a convenient way to recharge your phone, the battery pack also comes with Qi wireless Qi support.

Tech wrap June 25: ASUS gaming laptops, Perplexity AI, Windows 10 support
ASUS TUF, ROG laptops launched. Perplexity AI adds schedule task on WhatsApp. Windows 10 support ends in 2025. Samsung Smart Monitor M9. Google Chrome's address bar reposition Tech Wrap June 25 BS Tech New Delhi Listen to This Article ASUS TUF F16, ROG Strix G16 laptops with Nvidia RTX 5050 launched: Details ASUS has launched new additions to its TUF and ROG Strix laptop lines in India, including the TUF Gaming F16 and the updated ROG Strix G16, now equipped with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 GPUs. Furthermore, ASUS has refreshed the existing ROG Strix G16 (G614) variant by integrating the new RTX 5050 graphics. These high-performance gaming laptops are currently available for Indian consumers. Perplexity has rolled out a new update to its AI-powered WhatsApp chatbot, enabling task scheduling and time-based notifications. This feature allows the AI assistant to offer a more proactive experience on the messaging app. In a LinkedIn post, Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas revealed that the bot can now issue custom reminders and periodic news updates based on natural language prompts. Microsoft has announced that support for Windows 10 will officially end on October 14, 2025, affecting millions of users globally. Despite the support cutoff, the company has assured users of continued delivery of vital security updates until 2028. As outlined in a blog post, Microsoft 365 apps, Defender Antivirus, and extended security updates will remain accessible post the end of standard support. Google has introduced a feature in Chrome for Android that lets users reposition the address bar to the bottom of the screen—a customization option that was first made available on iOS in 2023. This update is aimed at enhancing usability for one-handed operation, particularly on phones with larger displays. Samsung has announced its 2025 Smart Monitor range, headlined by the new Smart Monitor M9, which features QD-OLED technology for the first time in the series. The lineup also includes refreshed versions of the M8 and M7 monitors. All models come with 32-inch displays and are set to be released in select regions starting this month. Just days before its official release, footage from the first hour of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach appears to have been leaked. EuroGamer reports that a YouTube creator uploaded the content on June 22, noting: "First part of Death Stranding [2] before everyone else." The video was subsequently removed following a copyright infringement claim filed by MarkScan Enforcement, a firm specializing in IP rights protection. POCO has introduced the F7 smartphone in the Indian market, with a starting price of Rs 31,999. Notably, it is among the first devices in India to feature a massive 7,550mAh battery. Powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, the phone boasts a 6.83-inch AMOLED screen. The company touts its ultra-slim bezels, claiming it delivers the largest and most immersive viewing experience in its category for gaming, streaming, and content creation. Apple services, including iCloud Mail, Photos, Find My, and Web Apps, experienced a widespread disruption during the early hours of June 25. According to Apple's system status tracker, the outage began at around 12 am IST and was resolved by 4:30 am. The company has since confirmed that all affected services have been fully restored across the globe. Anticipated to launch later this year, the iPhone 17 Pro has surfaced in alleged leaks, showcasing potential changes in design. According to a report by 9To5Mac, a dummy model of the phone indicates a transition to a full-width camera bar on the rear—departing from Apple's longstanding corner-mounted camera design. Honor is set to bring its X9c 5G smartphone to the Indian market. An Amazon India listing has already revealed key specifications, shedding light on the device's performance, camera setup, and design. Originally launched in China and selected global markets last year, the Indian variant is expected to retain most of the same features. The Redmi Pad 2 stands out as a reliable and affordable tablet choice for users seeking a device primarily for streaming, light web browsing, note-taking, and virtual learning. Featuring an 11-inch screen, a quad-speaker setup with Dolby Atmos, and a processor suitable for day-to-day activities, it performs well for typical non-demanding tasks. Added support for AI tools like Circle to Search and Gemini enhances its appeal for productivity. When paired with the optional Redmi Smart Pen, it also serves as a practical solution for students or professionals looking for basic sketching or handwriting functionality on a budget.
