If you plan on streaming via your laptop, you already have a webcam and microphone — but neither will be as good as a dedicated solution. Instead, check out the deal that Best Buy has right now on a Blue Yeti Professional Multi-Pattern USB Condenser Microphone and Logitech StreamCam Plus 1080 webcam. Usually $300 for the two, you can buy this bundle for $236 thereby saving $64 off the regular price. It’s the perfect starter package for a streamer keen to upgrade their setup without spending a fortune. Here’s what we have to say about it.

Why you should buy the Blue Yeti Microphone and Logitech StreamCam Plus bundle

Starting out, streaming can be pretty cheap, as most of us already have some way of taking video calls. The same principle applies here. However, it’s better to buy something a bit more professional. That’s because audio is a huge deal when streaming and so is being able to see the reactions of a streamer. As a relatively new streamer, I’ve quickly learned that getting the right audio balance is everything to keeping people viewing. A built-in microphone simply won’t cut it.

With this bundle, you get a Blue Yeti Professional Multi-Pattern USB Condenser Microphone. Blue Yeti makes some of the best microphones for streaming. If you watch a lot of streamers, you’ve probably already seen a few Blue Yeti mics being used. The Blue Yeti Professional Multi-Pattern USB Condenser Microphone offers broadcast-quality sound with a custom three-capsule array which provides clear and powerful sound for all your videos. It has onboard audio controls like volume, pattern selection, instant mute, and mic gain. There’s also Blue VO!CE software for enhancing the audio further, four pickup patterns, no-latency monitoring, and plenty of positions to choose from. Just writing about it makes me want to buy the Blue Yeti Professional Multi-Pattern USB Condenser Microphone.

Also in the bundle is the Logitech StreamCam Plus 1080p Webcam. Logitech makes many of the best webcams around. This webcam offers full 1080p resolution at 60fps, with its premium glass lens and smart autofocus ensuring you get crisp details every time. StreamCam advanced features also mean auto-framing and intelligent exposure. It’s simple to mount too.

If you’re starting out streaming and need to buy everything, buy this bundle and snatch up one of the best laptops for streaming. In reality, most people will be just fine with the bundle alone. Normally priced at $300, the Blue Yeti Microphone and Logitech StreamCam Plus bundle is down to $236 at Best Buy which means today is the perfect time to enhance your streaming journey. Like I said, I’m particularly tempted by that microphone…

Need a budget-friendly laptop? Get this Asus deal at Walmart
The Asus VivoBook 15 laptop open on a white background.

You don't need to spend over a thousand dollars to end up with a dependable device from laptop deals -- you just need to be patient in waiting for a budget-friendly offer that will still provide reliable performance. Here's one: the Asus Vivobook 15 for only $299 from Walmart, following a $100 discount on its original price of $399. We're not sure when it will go back to its regular price though, so we highly recommend finishing your purchase quickly as that could happen at any moment.

Why you should buy the Asus Vivobook 15 laptop
Let's get this out of the way -- at its affordable price, you can't expect the Asus Vivobook 15 to match the performance of the best laptops. The device, however, will prove to be a trustworthy daily companion for regular tasks such as doing online research and typing documents, as well as watching some streaming shows when you're taking a break. It runs on the 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, Intel UHD Graphics, and 8GB of RAM, which will be more than enough for these activities. The laptop also ships with a 256GB SSD for ample storage space for your files, and it's got Windows 11 Home pre-installed.

Apple CEO should do a Steve Jobs on Siri delay, analyst says
Invoking Siri on iPhone.

Apple CEO Tim Cook should go public to explain the delay in integrating advanced Siri capabilities across its ecosystem, rather than Apple releasing the news quietly via a tech site last week, according to prominent Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

The tech giant showcased an AI-powered Siri at its WWDC event in 2024, as part of its Apple Intelligence initiative. While the virtual assistant does now have some AI smarts, the more advanced features -- including personalized responses, task completion across multiple apps, and on-screen awareness --have been delayed until next year at the earliest.

Nvidia claims RTX 5000 shipped better than 4000 but gamers are still waiting
The RTX 5090 sitting on a pink background.

Nvidia is trying to make its GeForce RTX 5000 series seem more impressive to the media by suggesting that the latest GPUs are selling better than the previous generation. However, many pundits aren’t buying the claim.

PC Mag pondered whether Nvidia has orchestrated a “paper launch” of the RTX 5000 series, suggesting that there might not be much of a product available for consumers. The majority of the people with their hands on the GPUs, especially the high-end models such as the 5090 and 5080 appear to be reviewers, influencers, and other determined enthusiasts as opposed to everyday gamers, who are still using prior generation GPUs at higher rates.
