How is this RTX 5070 gaming laptop SO cheap?! Get $1,280 off now, $80 off my favorite portable SSD and more — Power Picks

I nearly did a spittake seeing an RTX 5070 gaming laptop for cheaper than most RTX 5060 systems. The Hasee T8 Pro is surprisingly power-packed for $1,280 off — offering an Intel Core i7-14700HX CPU, RTX 5070 GPU, 16GB DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD alongside that 16-inch QHD panel with 180Hz refresh rate. From playing on a Hasee laptop myself a few months back, the touchpad will probably feel a bit mushy, and the plastic shell will feel a bit cheap to the touch. But if your focus is price-to-performance, there’s no better value in gaming laptops right now.

If you’re going for this laptop, you need a good cheap gaming monitor to connect it to for home play, and that’s where this $45 off Asus TUF Gaming VG249Q3R comes in. For under $100, you’re bagging a buttery smooth 1080p panel with a 180Hz refresh rate, Extreme Low Motion Blur technology for a 1ms response time, alongside variable overdrive for those moments you need some esports-esque reaction times.

For speed, reliability, durability and extreme portability, the Sandisk Extreme is my go-to portable SSD, and you can snag one for $80 off right now. It’s speedy enough to run entire Final Cut Pro files off for me with 1,050 MB/s read speeds, very strong with 3-meter drop protection and IP65 water and dust resistance, and even comes with a carabiner loop to pop it on your backpack for extra security.

The RTX 5060 Ti is one of my personal favorite mid-range GPUs, and its been built into this all-round beast of a gaming PC that is now $350 off with code SS10PER4. Alongside the GPU, in this Cyclone case, you’ve got an Intel Core i7-14700F CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB M.2 SSD. This is a packed PC ready for 1440p gaming.

A gaming headset is one of the low-key best upgrades you can make to the immersion of your PC gaming, but sound is often one of the quickest to ignore. Now at $20 off for a HyperX Cloud III, one of the best wired gaming headsets you can buy with 53mm drivers, an upgraded microphone, support for DTS X spatial audio and improved durability, there’s no reason to ignore it anymore!
