Every gamer needs a good headset. Whether to localize sound or chat with teammates and opponents. There are generally some good gaming headset deals running, which it’s always good to keep an eye on, by the way. But every once in a while, a deal comes along that’s so good, you just can’t pass it up.

The deal Dell is offering today on the Alienware AW988 Wireless Gaming Headset, is one such example. With $105 off, you can get it for $125 with free shipping and express delivery. Act soon though, there’s limited availability, and when all the spots are claimed the price will shoot back up.

The Alienware AW988 Wireless Gaming Headset can be used both wirelessly, thanks to a 2.4GHz radio frequency dongle (included), and a standard 3.5mm headset plug. Both offer a 7.1 channel virtual surround with excellent clarity. On the outside of the earcups are RGB lighting strips with two zones that can be fully customized using AlienFX. There are 16.8 million color combinations to choose from. The ear cups are large and comfortable, too, which is important when you’re wearing them for long play sessions.

These headphones work with gaming PCs and laptops, but you can also use them with consoles, namely the PS4 and PS5. The Xbox Series X is also compatible, but you’ll need to use a wired connection according to some users. A uni-directional boom mic allows you to speak clearly with no voice distortion or muffling problems.

Normally $230, Dell is offering the Alienware AW988 Wireless Gaming Headset for $105 off, which drops the price to $125 plus free shipping and express delivery. You will need to act fast because this is a limited availability deal. Only so many can claim the low price and once the capacity is reached, that’s it, it goes back up to the normal price. The deal isn’t guaranteed until you’ve actually completed your order, so please note that it won’t save the price in the cart.

If you've been curious about Xbox Cloud Gaming but didn't want another monthly subscription, Microsoft may have a new option for you. The company is testing a free, ad-supported version of Xbox Cloud Gaming for Xbox Insiders, allowing eligible players to stream select games they already own without a Game Pass membership.

However, you'll have to watch a short advertisement before your session begins. Microsoft says the ads will never interrupt gameplay, making this an early test of whether a simple tradeoff can bring cloud gaming to more players.

LOQ 17 gaming laptop

Lenovo has expanded its LOQ gaming laptop lineup with a new graphics option. The company has introduced a refreshed version of the LOQ 17IRX10, pairing Intel's Core i7-14700HX processor with Nvidia's newly announced GeForce RTX 5070 12GB laptop GPU. The update gives buyers another configuration to choose from without changing the overall design or feature set of the laptop.

The new variant joins Lenovo's existing LOQ 17IRX10 lineup, which was previously available with GeForce RTX 5050, RTX 5060, and RTX 5070 8GB graphics options. While the chassis remains unchanged, the addition of a 12GB RTX 5070 brings more VRAM to the series, a specification that has become increasingly important as modern AAA games demand larger texture caches and higher memory capacity.

Lenovo’s new thin-and-light handheld leaves out one crucial detail
This tiny Legion handheld puts the cloud in your hands

Lenovo has revealed more details about an upcoming Legion gaming handheld that could be among the thinnest and lightest devices in its category. The Legion C700 will measure just 14.99mm at its thinnest point and weigh approximately 556 grams, or around 1.25 pounds. By comparison, Lenovo’s Legion Go S is 22.6mm thick and weighs about 730 grams, while the ASUS ROG Ally X measures 24.7mm and weighs 678 grams.

Trimming these figures down should make the C700 much easier to hold for long periods and carry in a bag. But all of this portability comes at a cost--and that's cloud gaming.
