Need a new gaming PC? HP just cut prices on Omen and other gaming gear

Back to school PC deal: Mac Mini with M2 just crashed under $500
Someone using a Mac Mini while sitting at a desk.

One of the best Apple deals today is thanks to Best Buy. Head over there and you can buy the Apple Mac Mini with M2 chip for $499 saving you $100 off the regular price of $599. While it might not be the M2 Pro model, it's more than powerful enough for most people. Here's a look at everything else you need to know about it before you hit the buy button.

Why you should buy the Apple Mac Mini with M2
The Mac Mini is a great desktop computer, whether you're going for the M2 Pro model or this one with a standard M2. The best desktop computer for home use, you get a powerful 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU which is great for multitasking or using graphics-intensive apps. Even games look a little better here than you'd usually see with Mac performance. Alongside that, there's 8GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage. That might sound low but Macs are good at optimizing performance so 8GB should be sufficient for most people. Of course, more storage space would be nice but it's not essential.

If you're looking for cheap laptop deals, look no further than HP. Today, you can buy the HP 17-inch laptop for just $280 saving you $220 off the regular price of $500.

If this sounds tempting, keep reading, or you can simply hit the buy button to go straight to purchasing.

Why you should buy the HP 17-inch laptop
As one of the best laptop brands, HP has your back with this 17-inch laptop. While it won't compete with the very best laptops around, it's still reliable for basic work like web browsing or typing up documents. It includes an AMD Athlon Gold processor along with 8GB of memory and 128GB of SSD storage. That means you won't get a fast experience, but you will have all the basics at your disposal. It's always good to see SSD storage over eMMC storage at this price too.

Best Buy just slashed the price of this Lenovo laptop from $330 to $200
The Lenovo IdeaPad 1 laptop with the Windows 11 interface on the display.

If you're planning to buy a new laptop but you don't need a top-tier machine, you should be looking at the more affordable end of the laptop deals that are available online. Here's a solid option -- the Lenovo IdeaPad 1, which is on sale from Best Buy for just $200 following a $130 discount on its original price of $330. It's the laptop equivalent of a daily driver, which should give you an idea on what to expect from it, but if you're interested, you're going to have to proceed with the purchase quickly because it won't stay this cheap for long.

Why you should buy the Lenovo IdeaPad 1 laptop
The Lenovo IdeaPad 1 isn't as powerful as the top-of-the-line models of the best laptops, so it's not capable of demanding tasks like editing huge multimedia files or playing video games at the highest graphic settings. However, for basic functions like typing reports, managing spreadsheets, and doing online research, it's more than enough with its AMD Athlon Silver 7120U processor, integrated AMD Radeon Graphics, and 4GB of RAM. It also comes with Windows 11 Home in S Mode out of the box, pre-loaded in a 128GB SSD that will provide ample space for your documents.
