Snag this excellent 2K gaming PC for just $1,899
ibuypower RDY Y60 005 gaming desktop

If you're not that inclined to build a PC from scratch, then buying a pre-built gaming PC makes a lot of sense, especially since there are a lot of great deals now that more than make up for anything you would lose for not building it yourself. One great example is the RDY Y60 from iBuyPower, a solid gaming desktop from a boutique maker specializing in interesting builds, and the best part is that it has quite a significant discount on it for a configuration that comes with an RTX 40-series card. Instead of the usual $2,349 the RDY Y60 goes for, you can snag it for just $1,899, which accounts for a solid $450 discount. Also, if you use the code IBP25YR, you can get an extra $50 discount, or up to $300 if you spend up to $3,999 on an iBuyPower PC.

Why you should buy the RDY Y60 gaming desktop
One of the most important parts of any gaming desktop is the GPU, and in this case, you get the excellent RTX 4070 Super, which straddles the line between performance and price. This is actually the perfect 1440p GPU since you're going to be getting between 60-100 fps with ultra settings, depending on the game. You could theoretically push it to 4K if you want to pair it with the latest and best gaming monitors, but you likely won't see more than 55-60fps, at best, and you may need to have to play around with graphical settings.

Snag this massive 51% discount on HP’s 16-inch Pavilion laptop
The HP Pavilion 16t laptop with a colorful screen.

Even though 15.6-inch laptops tend to be the most common size, there's been a big push recently on 16-inch laptops, which makes sense given that they come with a larger and more convenient screen. One great example is the HP Pavilion Laptop 16t, and if you've been wanting to buy a 16-inch laptop, then this one might be a good option for you. Even more so considering the whopping $569 discount you get from HP directly, bringing the price down to $450 from the original $1,019.

Why you should buy the HP Pavilion Laptop 16t
Even at base specs, the HP Pavilion Laptop 16t is pretty solid, as is the Intel Core 5 120U, which is a mid-range CPU that can handle day-to-day and productivity tasks with relative ease. If you know you need a bit more processing power, you can bump it up to an Intel Core 7 150U, but that means that you will also need to bump up the screen to a 2K OLED model, which adds $340 to the price. While the base specification comes with an FHD resolution panel that can hit 300 nits, if you plan to watch a lot of content, it's probably worth the upgrade, and you still get a discount off the full price, which is nice.

Snag Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 laptop with a $1,602 discount

While there are a lot of great business laptops on the market, one of the most iconic probably has to be Lenovo's ThinkPad lineup. Of course, they tend to be quite expensive, but luckily, this ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 has a substantial discount of $1,602 directly from Lenovo. That brings it down to $1,957 from its original $3,559, which is substantial, but it is also worth noting that Lenovo tends to overstate the estimated value of the ThinkPad X1 Carbons. That means that the real discount isn't really that high, although the price you end up with is still pretty solid for one of the best laptops on the market when it comes to business needs.

Why you should buy the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 comes with a 14-inch screen, which makes the overall package very small, and with the 2.48-pound weight, it's pretty easy to carry around with you if you travel a lot. The screen runs a solid 1920 x 1200 resolution, but can hit 400 nits of peak brightness, so you can use pretty much anywhere that doesn't include direct sunlight. You'll also appreciate the 1080P FHD IR camera, which is perfect for those who need to have meetings regularly on the go or when working from home.
