Which gaming laptop should you buy on Cyber Monday?

Gaming laptops are expensive, but there’s still a range of price options to consider. If you’re looking for something under $1,000, you’ll need to be careful about what you buy. For example, it’s just not worth buying a gaming laptop with an older graphics like a GTX 1650. That’s still the base configuration for many popular gaming laptops, but it should be avoided.

Bumping up to a configuration with at least an RTX 3050 Ti will significantly improve the gaming experience and often will come with a better screen as well.

A great example is the HP Victus 16. This is a newer midrange gaming laptop with decent specs, especially the RTX 3060 version we reviewed. But even the Core i5/RTX 3050 Ti can be configured for under $1,000, and that doesn’t include any added discounts for Cyber Monday.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Razer Blade 14 remains the best gaming laptop you can buy. It’s astoundingly small despite being quite powerful. You won’t find any laptops that can pack this much power into something this portable. It makes for a laptop that can just as easily be used in day-to-day work as in late-night gaming.

I recommend the RTX 3070 model, which comes with a Ryzen 9 processor and high-resolution screen. It’s the ultimate gaming laptop right now, so if you want the best of the best, look no further.

Subvocal’s glasses promise to let you talk to your computer in complete silence
Voice dictation is incredibly convenient, but talking to your computer in public can be embarrassing. Subvocal thinks it has a solution.
Subvocal smart glasses use radar to track your mouth movement and convert it to text using AI

Typing has always been a bottleneck between what we think and how quickly we can communicate it to a computer. AI-powered dictation tools like Wispr Flow have made things considerably better. You can practically ramble your way through an entire email, or even an article, and have it transcribed into text in seconds.

But there's a rather awkward problem with talking to your computer. Try doing it in a quiet office, a library, or even your favorite cafe, and more often than not, you tend to attract some attention or end up disturbing others. A startup called The Subvocal Company thinks it has found a solution to this issue. It has developed a pair of smart glasses that promise to turn silent mouth movements into text at over 200 words per minute.

iOS 27.2 now lets the Find My app track Apple TV 4K remotes, officially called the Siri Remote. Finally, you can hunt down a lost one like a missing iPhone.
