Starting on the more affordable end of this gaming sale is the Dell G5 laptop. Though we haven’t actually reviewed this model, we have taken a look at the Dell G3 and gave it a decent score. These budget gaming laptops were designed with gamers in mind, cutting costs in all of the right places to offer good quality for less. It’s thin, light, and comes with overall solid performance. Under the hood, it comes packed with an 8th generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of memory, and a 256GB SSD. In addition to that, the Nvidia GeForce GTX Ti video card allows for improved loading performance for the more graphic-intensive games out there.

Normally priced at $1,150, the Dell G5 is currently on sale for just $850. With that $300 Cyber Week price cut, it’s one of the more affordable gaming laptops you’ll find that won’t leave you feeling like you went to cheap.

Dell XPS 15 — $300 off

Dell XPS 15 7590 review
Riley Young/Digital Trends

While the Dell XPS 13 is one of our favorite laptops, so is the XPS 15. Sporting a powerful Core i7-9750H processor, 16GB of RAM, and the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650, the XPS 15 is a true beast of a laptop. The OLED display is also quite beautiful, and we especially loved its color accuracy. It is now on sale for $1,649 instead of $1,949 at Dell — which may very well be worth it as our computing team gave the laptop a rare five-star perfect review.

Alienware m15 Gaming Laptop — $300 off

Alienware m15 Review

If you’re looking to nab one of Dell’s more premium gaming laptops at a discount today, you should definitely consider the Alienware line. We actually reviewed the Alienware m15 and found that it had a great keyboard, a fast, fluid screen, and an overall fantastic gaming performance. Built with an eighth-generation Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD, it doesn’t cut any corners as a functional laptop. The addition of an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card is really what gives it that gaming-level of performance, though.

Normally priced at $1,750 from Dell’s website, this portable gaming machine is down to $1,450 right now. It’s an expensive purchase, but what you get for that price will likely make it worth it.

AI companies may be gobbling up old books, and I really hope they aren’t destroying them
Booksellers are seeing mysterious bulk orders for old books, and some suspect AI companies
Book, Publication, Text

Secondhand booksellers have noticed a curious pattern over the past few months. Large orders are coming in for old books that often share no obvious subject, author, or genre, leaving sellers wondering who wants them and why.

According to The Guardian, booksellers in the U.K. and Ireland have received bulk orders covering everything from agricultural texts to racing biographies. Some buyers reportedly use opaque aliases, send orders to the same freight warehouses, and pay full price without negotiating bulk discounts. Similar activity has also surfaced in the U.S., Australia, and Europe.

Claude is getting ambitious with watermarking, and I can smell the problems from a mile away
Claude’s text watermark could flag AI involvement even when it only helped with translation or editing
Claude website open on laptop

Anthropic wants to make AI-generated text easier to identify, and on paper, I have very little reason to complain. The company is experimenting with an invisible watermark that can be baked directly into text generated by Claude.

It sounds like a sensible idea. AI-generated text is everywhere, and knowing where something came from could certainly help. Moreover, Anthropic isn't simply hiding a marker somewhere inside a document. Its approach changes how Claude selects words to create a statistical pattern that can later be detected.

I switched from Windows to Mac after 25 years, and it’s the trackpad that converted me.
Well, that rhymes.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

I’ve been using Windows laptops for almost 25 years. In that time, I never once seriously thought of buying a MacBook. In fact, I can honestly say I had never used one at all until I bought my MacBook Air M5 six months ago. Never borrowed one for a weekend, spent an afternoon at an Apple Store, or even played with one at a friend's house. Macs, to me, were just expensive computers for those who edited videos, made logos, or liked drinking expensive coffee.

My change came completely by accident.
