Best VPN deals: Save on NordVPN, ExpressVPN, and Surfshark

Lucas Coll
By

There are a lot of good reasons to grab a VPN, whether it’s for security and privacy purposes or whether you just want to access content that would otherwise be geo-locked. Luckily, over the past few years, the number of VPNs out there has boomed massively, and you have a huge selection of them to pick from. There’s also a lot of work that’s gone into creating more secure and encrypted protocols, and some VPNs even do a double-server bounce to make absolutely sure nobody can see what you are doing, which is essential if you’re going to be going somewhere with privacy and security issues. Regardless of why you want to get a VPN, we’ve collected some of our favorite VPN deals below, so you don’t have to go looking.

Best VPN Deal

NordVPN tops our list of best VPNs, and for a good reason: it’s packed full of different features, and the pricing is surprisingly good. For example, it has some of the best encryption protocols that help keep your line secure, such as IKEv2/IPsec, OpenVPN, and NordLynx. Also, the Complete plan throws in things like a password manager and 1TB of encrypted cloud storage, which is pretty great, and you can even grab the 24-month subscription for $135 instead of the $448 it usually goes for. Of course, if you aren’t interested in encrypted cloud storage, then the Plus plan includes the password manager, and you can get the 24-month plan for $108 rather than $286. And, if all you want is the VPN, then the standard package is going for $81 instead of $224 for the 24-month plan.

How to Choose the Right VPN

A lot of the time, picking a VPN comes down to getting around geolocation blocking, so if that’s what’s important to you, you should check out all the areas available for access through the VPN. That said, pretty much all VPNs have servers in the US, UK, and several countries in the EU, so if the content you want to watch is there, then you’ll be fine with almost any VPN. Similarly, while encryption and general protection are important, most VPNs tend to have quite broad encryption protocols. However, it’s always worth checking if the VPN you want has the specific protocol you want or need to use, as well as things such as obfuscation technology.

If you’re interested in a VPN for security and privacy, then it’s important to go with a VPN that doesn’t keep any logs; that way, the VPN provider won’t track anything you do online. Similarly, you’ll want to check that whatever VPN you have doesn’t have any DNS or IP leaks, although that’s something that you can only do after actually buying. So, if you can do a trial or grab one with a 30-day money-back guarantee, that’s an excellent way to test things out.

There has been a huge boom in gaming laptops in the past few years; once they were bulky, expensive, and not that good, we now have thin and lightweight configurations with lots of power. We're also seeing more and more powerful GPUs in gaming laptops, although it's important to note that even if laptop GPUs have the same name as desktop GPUs, they often aren't the same. Even so, having a laptop RTX 4070 or 4080, which are one step down from their desktop counterparts, are leaps and bounds better than a few years ago when we'd have to rely on the processor to do all the graphical lifting.
There's a lot of variety to pick from, and the market is saturated with deals, so to help you along, we've collected some of our favorite gaming laptop deals below. We've broken it up between Intel CPUs and AMD CPUs so you can pick the processor family you feel most comfortable with.
