Every so often, we come across something so crazy, so fascinating, that we just have to share it. Yeah, there are a ton of other home theater and surround options. Sure, there are plenty of other soundbar deals. But there’s nothing quite like this one.

The Panasonic SoundSlayer Gaming Soundbar was developed specifically for Final Fantasy XIV Online, and it was co-designed by pro-gaming sound engineers. It can be used as a home theater system, too, but connects to a PC and includes a built-in subwoofer. Amazon is offering a crazy deal on the soundbar right now! You can get it for $249 with free shipping and free returns, which is $50 off.

Before we continue, it’s important to point out that there are two versions of the Panasonic SoundSlayer, and both were designed for Final Fantasy XIV Online. One is a Limited Edition version, with Final Fantasy graphics on the soundbar, but it’s also significantly more expensive. The one that’s on sale is more affordable and includes the same audio features; it just doesn’t have the FFXIV graphics on the chassis.

The Panasonic SoundSlayer is Dolby-Atmos powered to provide 3D immersive sound and give you a realistic and dynamic sound experience. This particular system was developed with gamers in mind and functions perfectly as a desktop PC sound system or speaker. There are three dedicated sound modes for RPG, FPS, or Voice, optimizing audio for the related genres or activities.

It’s a 2.1-channel, three-way speaker with a built-in subwoofer, and it utilizes a 4K HDR passthrough to deliver no loss in image or sound quality. It also supports DTS:X and DTS:X virtual surround technology. Bluetooth wireless is built-in as well, so you can sync devices via a wireless connection. You can always read more about the system in our Panasonic SoundSlayer feature.

Amazon is currently offering the Panasonic Soundslayer Gaming Soundbar for $50 off the normal price ($300). That means you’re getting it for $250 with free shipping and free returns. If you order soon, you can have it within the next couple of days. We’re not sure how long the deal is going to last either, so if you’re interested, act now.

If you need a new laptop that focuses on performance, you're going to want to check out Lenovo's offer for the Lenovo ThinkPad P16v Gen 2 Mobile Workstation. It's on sale for $2,059, which is 50% less than its estimated value of $4,119, but likely not for long. The $2,060 in savings is among the largest that you can get from today's laptop deals, but you'll have to hurry with your purchase of this powerful device because it may go back to its regular price as soon as tomorrow.

Why you should buy the Lenovo ThinkPad P16v Gen 2 Mobile Workstation
Lenovo inherited the ThinkPad line of laptops from IBM, and maintained its iconic look, sturdy design, and business-focused features, according to our explainer of the Lenovo brands. The Lenovo ThinkPad P16v Gen 2 Mobile Workstation is a slightly less powerful version of the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2, but in exchange for a more affordable price that's even lower from Lenovo's sale. The device is still very much capable of meeting the needs of most people though, as it's equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, the Nvidia RTX 1000 Ada graphics card, and 32GB of RAM that our guide on how much RAM do you need says is the sweet spot for professionals.

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.
