Microsoft’s support for Windows 10 has already ended, and if your current laptop won’t be able to upgrade to Windows 11, it’s time to take advantage of laptop deals for a machine that can handle the latest version of the operating system. If you’re on a tight budget, check out the Lenovo IdeaPad 1i, which is on sale from Walmart for only $129 instead of its sticker price of $250. The savings of $121 may disappear at any moment though, so if you need a new device for work or school, shop this offer right now.

Why you should buy the Lenovo IdeaPad 1i laptop

With the end of Windows 10 support, you’ll have to upgrade your laptop to Windows 11 to keep getting security updates. However, if your device no longer meets the minimum requirements for the latest operating system, you’ll need to buy a new laptop as your current one will become vulnerable to hackers. The Lenovo IdeaPad 1i is one of the most affordable options for a Windows 11 laptop out there, especially with this discount from Walmart — it’s a small price to pay for your peace of mind. It ships with Windows 11 Home in S Mode, and it even comes with 12 months of Microsoft 365 to keep your productivity going.

With its low price, you shouldn’t expect the Lenovo IdeaPad 1i to challenge the performance of the best laptops. It’s going to be enough for your daily activities though, with its entry-level Intel Celeron N4500 processor and 8GB of RAM. The device also features a 14-inch screen with HD resolution, a 720p webcam with a privacy shutter, 11 hours of battery life, and a 128GB eMMC for storage.

Continuing with a Windows 10 laptop is potentially dangerous, so if your device can’t upgrade to Windows 11, it’s time to replace it. Here’s a budget-friendly option — the Lenovo IdeaPad 1i, which is down to just $129 from Walmart following a $121 discount on its original price of $250. We’re not sure how much stock is left as more than 1,000 units have been sold over the past 24 hours, so if you need the Lenovo IdeaPad 1i, we recommend proceeding with your transaction for it immediately.

This $1,299 gaming PC wants to be a Steam Machine without waiting for Valve
Valve’s Steam Machine dream is already real in MetaPC's new prebuilt
MetaPC's Steamroller is a new Steam Machine rival

Valve’s Steam Machine may be the face of SteamOS, but the platform isn't exclusive to it. A big announcement after Steam Machine's unveiling was that SteamOS would be arriving on systems outside of the new hybrid console. Now, MetaPCs is one of the first to take advantage of this by opening the preorders for the Steamroller, a new prebuilt gaming desktop that ships with SteamOS installed by default.

Though Steamroller is not trying to be a tiny console-like cube. It is a normal desktop PC with standard parts and a real upgrade path. The system costs $1,299 and is listed with a preorder date of July 3, 2026.

This cheap Steam Machine clone sounds too good to be true because it probably is
A Chinese Steam Machine clone claims impossible hardware at an impossible price
A Chinese rip-off of the Steam Machine

Valve’s new Steam Machine has already caused plenty of sticker shock. So it's no surprise that a flood of cheaper alternatives is hitting the online market. Valve is currently charging over $1,000 for its tiny-living-room SteamOS PC, and of course, people are trying to offer the same feel for less money,

One listing from China is a great example, but it looks a little too suspicious. According to VideoCardz, a Steam Machine-style mini PC listing shared on Reddit claims to offer a compact SteamOS system with a 2TB SSD, AMD Ryzen 5 5500 processor, Radeon RX 6750 GRE 10GB graphics, 16GB of DDR5 memory, and a price of 4,680 RMB, or roughly $688. This sounds incredible... if it were true.

A YouTuber 3D printed an entire outfit, but the comfort and cost are more complicated than you’d think
The 3D-printed outfit is real. Whether it's practical is a different conversation entirely.
Adult, Male, Man

YouTuber Matthew Trahan has made a career out of 3D printing increasingly unusual things. He has printed musical instruments, bedroom furniture, and, in one particularly memorable video, himself.

His latest project is a full outfit, from shirt to shoes, belt to glasses, because apparently nobody told him 3D printers are for creating engineering prototypes or structures that aren’t otherwise feasible, not for fashion week.
