Samsung Pro Plus 512GB Micro SDXC Card for $29.99
Amazon has the Samsung EVO Pro Plus 512GB Micro SDXC card for only $29.99, making it one of the lowest prices currently for a Micro SDXC card of that size. This card is perfect for the Nintendo Switch. If you've started compiling a collection of digital games, you probably already know just how limited the Switch's base storage capacity is. The Switch and Switch OLED have 32GB and 64GB of internal storage, respectively. Some of that is reserved for the OS. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom takes up over 18GB of storage all by itself. Other must-have titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Pokemon Sword or Shield tap out at 13.5GB each.
65" 2023 TCL QM8 4K Mini LED QLED TV for $1099.99
4K @ 120Hz for PS5 and Xbox Series X
If you're in the market for an excellent, future proofed gaming TV that's affordable, then take a look at the brand new 2023 TCL QM8 Mini-LED TV. Both the 65" and 75" models are on sale today from Amazon. This TV came out in May of 2023 and features all the technology you'd want in a current generation gaming TV including a gorgeous Mini-LED QLED panel and 4K@120Hz support for PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles.
As a side note, I have this TV and it's currently connected to my PS5 console in my game room. This TV is easily one of the best displays I've owned. I still prefer my LG Evo C2 OLED TV in the living room where I have full light control. However, my game room has very poor light control, with a lot of sunlight that filters in during the day. The TCL QM8 is much brighter than my OLED and, in my experience, this TV is better there.
Alienware m16 16" RTX 4090 Gaming Laptop for $2449.99
Starting today, Dell is offering an incredible deal on an Alienware m16 RTX 4090 gaming laptop. You can get it for only $2449.99 after following these directions:
- Click Here
- Select Video Card: RTX 4090
- Proceed to shopping cart
- At cart, apply $350 off code: "SAVE350"
- Price should drop to $2449.99
The AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX CPU is currently the fastest CPU around. It's performance approaches that of the desktop Ryzen 9 7950X. Likewise the GeForce RTX 4090 is still far and away the most powerful mobile GPU, and by a pretty huge margin. It's roughly equivalent to a desktop RTX 3090 / RTX 4070 Ti GPU. In real world terms, this GPU is more than capable enough of handling any game at the display's native QHD+ resolution. It should be able to push 60+ fps even with all settings turned up and ray tracing enabled.
Baseus 10,000mAh USB Type-C Power Bank for $12.99
Right now Amazon is offering a Baseus 10,000mAh USB Type-C power bank with USB Power Delivery for only $12.99 after you clip a 35% off coupon on the product page. The 10,000mAH power bank is, I think, the perfect compromise between battery capacity and size. This Baseus model measures about 6" long and 2.7" wide, about the same size as an iPhone 14 Pro. It will charge a Nintendo Switch over two times, an iPhone 15 Pro over three times, and a full-sized iPad Pro 12.9" almost one full time. There are three ports. The USB Type-C port is both output and input, which means you can charge the power bank OR charge your devices from that same port. The USB Type-A port is output only and the Micro USB port is input only. The USB Type-C port supports Power Delivery with up to 20W of power. That's enough to fully max out the charging speed on a Nintendo Switch.
Apple iPad Air 5th Gen M1 64GB WiFi for $499.99
This is the newest iPad Air model, which was released in March of 2022. It's better than the $450 iPad in nearly all aspects. Although the screen size and resolution is the same, the iPad Air's display features P3 wide color and ultra low reflectivity. It has the same powerful Apple M1 chip found in the 2021 iPad Pro, which is far more powerful than the A14 Bionic found in the iPad. Despite the more powerful hardware, the iPad Air is a bit lighter and has a smaller footprint than the iPad as well.
Ecoflow Delta 2 1024Wh Lifepo4 Power Station for $699
Amazon is offering an Ecoflow Delta 2 1024Wh LiFePO4 Power Station for $699.00 after a $300 instant discount. The Ecoflow Delta 2 is a power station that can be charged by traditional AC or up to 500W of solar. The Delta 2 uses the newer LiFePO4 cells instead of the traditional NCM sells you find in the original Delta. LiFePO4 cells have inherently safer chemistry and have a much higher cycle lifespan than NCM cells. They also have lower calendar aging.
Ecoflow Delta Pro 7.2kWh Lifepo4 Power Station for $3629
Amazon is offering an Ecoflow Delta Pro 7.2kWh Lifepo4 Portable Power Station Bundle, which includes a Delta Pro 3.6kWh power station and a Delta Pro 3.6kWh extra battery, for "only" $3629.10 after you clip a $1500 coupon and a second 10% off coupon on the product page. Yes it's not cheap, but this is still an excellent price for a high-capacity Ecoflow power station equipped with LFP batteries. Like the Delta 2, the Delta Pro uses the newer and superior LFP (Lifepo4) battery cells.
A note on the federal tax credit. The 30% federal tax credit can be applied to battery storage purchases that total over 3kWh for 2023. That would make this purchase eligible. It would be smart to check your local policies, but you can head over to the energy.gov website for more details.
Alienware Aurora RTX 4090 Gaming PC for $2849.99
Dell is currently offering an Alienware Aurora R15 gaming PC equipped with the top-of-the-line GeForce RTX 4090 GPU for only $2849.99 after a $950 instant discount. This is currently the lowest price you'll find on Dell for an Alienware RTX 4090 gaming PC. Yes, it's very expensive, but this is the GPU to get if you want to play any game (including Starfield) in 4K with ray tracing and every setting turned up to the max without carrying about performance hiccups whatsoever.
Buy 57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 Monitor, Get $500 Samsung Credit
Samsung recently announced it's massive 57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 gaming monitor for a tune of $2499.99, but if you preorder it right now you can get $500 worth of Samsung credit. The 57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 is the first Dual 4K UHD monitor. That's right, this monitor boasts a 7680x2160 resolution, or the equivalent of two 4K UHD monitors stacked next to each other. The Samsung "Neo G9" monitors are equipped with a Mini LED backlight combined with a quantum dot (QLED) panel. This is a high-end panel that you'll only find in top-shelf 4K TVs, or the most expensive 12.9" iPad Pro. It offers a much brighter image than OLED panels and offer better black levels and contrast ratios than LED LCD TVs.
Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for $99
Amazon has just dropped the price of the professional-grade Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 Core to only $99.00, a nearly 25% price drop from its $129.99 MSRP. The Xbox Elite Series 2 Core wireless controller is fundamentally the same controller as the older generation Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, but at a considerably lower price point. The original Elite Series 2 controller commands a premium MSRP of $180 while the newer Elite Series 2 Core comes in at only $130. The differences are a lot more minor than you'd think given the price discrepancy. For starters, the Elite Series 2 Core is decked out in a two-tone black & white color scheme instead of the Elite Series 2's all-black styling. The original Elite controller also came with more stuff, including extra sets of paddles, thumbsticks, and another D-pad for ultimate customizability as well as a handy travel case. The Elite Series 2 Core doesn't come with any of those accessories. And that's where the differences end.
Samsung 990 Pro 2TB PS5 SSD with Heatsink for $149.99
Today, Amazon has dropped the price of the 2TB Samsung 990 Pro PCIe 4.0 NVMe solid state drive (SSD) with a preinstalled heatsink to only $149.99. That's the lowest price we've ever seen for what is currently the fastest SSD on the market. Note that this SSD was released in November of 2022 with an MSRP of $280. That's a pretty huge price drop on a flagship SSD in such a short amount of time.
The 990 Pro is currently Samsung's flagship SSD and it is one of the fastest, if not the fastest, PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs on the market. The Samsung 990 Pro is an excellent SSD for your PS5, although admitted it is overkill. Sony recommends a heatsink attached to your SSD. Fortunately, this particular 990 Pro does include a heatsink, and a nice thick, all-metal one at that.
