Daily Deals
Dell launched a new coupon code yesterday that takes 12% off select desktop and laptop PCs. Unfortunately many configs aren't eligible, including all the PCs currently on Dell's Deals page. Fortunately, specific Alienware Aurora R12 desktop models are eligible, and they can be upgraded all the way up to an RTX 3080 Ti or RTX 3090. With the coupon applied, you won't be able to find a cheaper prebuilt RTX 30 series PC on the market.
The 12% coupon is eligible with the Alienware Aurora R12 models below. These all have starting specs: Intel Core i5-11400F CPU, 8GB RAM, and 1TB HDD. You can upgrade to an 11th generation Intel Core i7 processor for an additional $150 (minus 12% off discount with code). I'd recommend upgrading your RAM and storage on your own because you'll probably save money and you won't be voiding the warranty.
Use code "SAVE12" to get the prices below:
If you're specifically looking for a prebuilt PC with an RTX 3080 video card, and you don't want to deal with doing any upgrades yourself, this is the best Alienware deal to get. This PC comes equipped with an 11th gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of memory, 512GB SSD, and a separate 1TB hard drive for storage. The RTX 3080 is more powerful than the previous generation's best video card, the RTX 2080 Ti.
If you're looking instead for a portable gaming rig, check out this Alienware m15 laptop outfitted with an RTX 3080 mobile video card. There's something important to understand about RTX 30 series video cards in laptops. Even if two different laptops have the same RTX 3080, that doesn't mean the video cards perform equally. The RTX 3080 performs depending on how much power you supply to it. Because of heat and cooling limitations, the RTX 3080 found in 15" laptops have a TGP range from 140W to 90W. The Alienware m15 R4 boasts an RTX 3080 with a TGP of 140W. That means it has the most powerful RTX 3080 you'll find in a 15" gaming laptop. That's incredible considering the fact that at this price, you probably won't find ANY RTX 3080 laptop for cheaper.
Here's another powerful gaming laptop at a great price. The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro boasts an RTX 3070 with a TGP rating of 140W; that means you won't find a 15" laptop with a more powerful RTX 3070 video card. It's paired with the newest AMD Ryzen 7 8-core processor, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB solid state drive. Of special mention is the uniquely sized 16" display, which boasts a pixel-dense 2560x1600 QHD resolution.
This is the perfect laptop for a student who's heading back to school or a professional who needs to bring his or her laptop on the go. The Dell Inspiron 16 Plus weighs only 4.4 pounds and sports a gorgeous 16" display with 3K (3072x1920) resolution, the newest 11th gen Intel Core i7-11800H processor and an RTX 3060 video card with a TGP rating of 60W. There's also a generous 32GB of RAM and a big 1TB solid state drive. At a price price of about $1300 after the 12% off coupon code, this is an absolute steal.
There's a sweet 15% off code right now that works on the 500GB and 1TB variations of the Samsung 980 Pro SSD. Samsung is one of the most popular and reliable SSD brands and the 980 Pro fulfills all of the requisites of the PS5 including 6,900Mbps transfer speeds and an M.2 PCIe Gen4 interface. Performance-wise it will blow any standard SATA SSD or hard drive out of the water. It doesn't include a heatsink, but you can very easily install one yourself for a minimal cost. Reviews show that this heatsink paired with a 980 Pro fits the PS5 perfectly.
Use code "AFFEAHS42" to get the prices below:
The Western Digital official storefront has all models of the SN850 SSD with heatsink in stock right now, and that includes the extremely hard to find 1TB model. This is currently the most popular (and probably the best) SSD to get for your PS5 storage upgrade. It's blazing fast drive with transfer speeds rated at up to 7,000 MB/s and a PCIe Gen4 interface and it comes preinstalled with a heatsink. It's also confirmed by Western Digital themselves to be compatible with the PS5.
If you regret not picking the Airpods Pro up on Amazon Prime Day at 24% off, here's your chance to get it today at the same price. The AirPods Pro is considered one of the best truly wireless noise-cancelling in-ear headphones you can get, especially for under $200.
Herman Miller makes the best ergonomic chairs in the industry. They're also not cheap, with several of their models easily topping over $1000 in price. Penny pinchers might find it a waste of money, but honestly, in this case you get what you pay for. Many of us could spend a majority of our lives stuck to our chair, it makes sense that this would be one of the most important purchases we make. Today, Herman Miller is offering 15% off their top-of-the-line gaming collaborations with Logitech. This is the first time we've seen a substantial discount on these outside of Sample Sales and employee-only offers. If you've got deep pockets, then you'll save on what is probably the best gaming chair on the market.
Preorder the Samsung Neo G9 gaming monitor (out on August 23), and get the JBL Quantum One Gaming Headset for free. That's a $300 headset. This is the first Mini LED gaming monitor we've seen and easily the best monitor in Samsung's "Odyssey" series. Mini LED technology is pretty new. You'll see them in the highest end Samsung and TCL TVs as well as the newest Apple iPad Pro 12.9" XDR display. The cost keeps 99% of us gamers at bay, but for those who can afford it, you currently won't find a better ultra-wide monitor.
