As you should already know, the Switch 2 console will only accept MicroSD Express cards. If you have a standard MicroSD card from your previous Switch, you sadly won't be able to use it to store games in the Switch 2. Although the two might look similar, MicroSD Express cards are much, much faster than their precedessors, with speeds of up to 800MB/s. Most MicroSD cards cap out at well under 200MB/s.

Currently Best Buy has the best handheld gaming PC deals for Cyber Monday. The Lenovo Legion Go S Z1 Extreme SteamOS handheld gaming PC drops to just $649.99 after a $250 instant discount. This is the more powerful model with the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip and it is easily one of the best Steam-based gaming handhelds currently available.

Also on sale is the Legion Go S Z2 Go Edition, which is currently $449.99 after a $200 discount. Despite the fact that the AMD Ryzen Z2 Go is a 2nd gen chip, it's less powerful than the Z1 Extreme, but more powerful than the Steam Deck's APU. Since this version also runs SteamOS, you'll get generally better performance out of it.

The Zenbook 14 laptop offers exceptional build quality in an ultra-slim footprint, all for well under $1,000. The all-aluminum chassis has a fingerprint resistant finish and meets MIL-STD 810H military standards for durability. It weighs in at a mere 2.8 pounds and measures under 0.6" thin. It features a gorgeous Asus Lumina OLED 1920x1200 display with touchscreen functionality and Corning Glass screen protection. The internal components are nothing to sniff at either. Inside is an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor with Intel Arc onboard graphics, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

This is a Best Buy exclusive 1-Day Doorbuster special, which means it might actually expire before we even get to actual Cyber Monday. The TCL QM5K is the least expensive 65" TV I've seen so far that's equipped with a quantum dot Mini-LED panel with full-array backlighting. That basically means this TV will excel at displaying 4K HDR content in its full glory.

Planning to bulk up on local storage during Cyber Monday? Right now you can pick up a massive Seagate Expansion 24TB USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive for just $249.99 with free delivery. That averages out to a mere $10.42 per terabyte of storage. Although SSDs are all the rage these days, traditional hard drives are still the superior choice for long term storage. They're cheaper, they have a much higher capacity, and perhaps most importantly, although SSDs can equal HDDs in terms of lifespan, it's much easier to recover data from a HDD than SSD if either one fails.

The Bose QuietComfort wireless noise cancelling headphones are down to just $159.99 for Cyber Monday, a $40 price drop compared to Black Friday. The Bose QuietComfort is just a rename of the QuietComfort 45 with more color options. That's a good thing, because the QC45 was highly praised for its excellent sound and noise canceling performance and all-day comfort.

Prospective VR gamers, there's no better time to immerse yourself in real next-gen gaming. Best Buy has discounted both Meta Quest 3S models ($249 for the 128GB model and $329 for the 256GB model) and is also throwing in a bonus $50 Best Buy gift card with either purchase. That's basically getting a Quest 3S headset for as low as $199. You also get a free game: The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners for the 128GB model - a Best Buy exclusive bundle.

The Meta Quest 3S is the best standalone consumer-oriented VR headset under $300. It retails for 40% less than the Quest 3 and yet retains most of its hardware and functionality, including the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, Touch Plus controllers with inside-out tracking, and mixed reality passthrough.

If you're willing to splurge on the more premium model, Best Buy has the Meta Quest 3 for $499.99 but you also get a $75 Best Buy gift card with your purchase. Compared to the Quest 3S, the Quest 3 has a higher resolution, higher FOV display with a much wider focused sweet spot thanks to its superior pancake lens design. The Quest 3 also has much more onboard storage. For VR veterans who are sure to benefit from a better display, I would recommend the Quest 3.

Best Buy is offering an outstanding deal on a powerful gaming laptop for Cyber Monday. For this week only, you can pick up the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16s GeForce RTX 5070 Ti gaming laptop for just $1,449.99 after a $450 discount.

The Acer Predator Helios Neo offers the proper combination of premium build quality (solid aluminum top with plastic composite bottom chassis) and powerful components. This particular configuration is equipped with a gorgeous 16" 2.5K OLED display, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The RTX 5070 Ti mobile GPU is comparable to the RTX 4080 and pulls ahead of it in games that support DLSS 4.

If you haven't heard already, a recent surge in demand for memory has caused DRAM to increase in price. To a lesser extent, according to Tom's Hardware, this has also affected NAND flash storage. SSDs have already been increasing in cost recentl. If you're holding out in hopes that memory card prices will drop even further within the next few months, you'd be taking a gamble. If I were a betting man, I'd say that you'd have to wait until mid to late 2026 before prices stabilize again. I'd recommend just getting one now so you don't need to worry about running out of space.

Looking to upgrade your audiophile setup without investing too much money? Best Buy is offering a pair of the excellent KEF Q1 Meta Bookshelf Speakers for only $399.99 shipped. All three color options - white, black, and walnut finish - are discounted. These speakers normally retail for $600 and don't go on sale very often.

The KEF Q1 Meta is a passive pair of bookshelf speakers which means you'll have to connect them to an external amplifier to deliver power. The impedance rating is 4ohm and maximum power output is 150W. KEF Meta speakers feature a labyrinthine "metamaterial" that's designed to tune out up to 99% of unwanted sound, delivering a purer, more natural, and accurate sound reproduction. The Q1 is KEF's most affordable speaker that employs Meta technology, which is usually reserved for higher end speakers like the very well reviewed KEF LS50.

OLED TVs are considered the best TVs for gaming, but they can also be very expensive. Fortunately, LG has a B-series OLED lineup that's hundreds of dollars cheaper than its other OLED TVs while still offering incredible image quality. As part of its Cyber Monday sale, Best Buy currently has the 48" LG B5 4K OLED Smart TV for a low price of $529.99 with free delivery. At this size, the TV could also be used as a big-screen gaming monitor for your PC.

Best Buy has the lowest price on a Apple AirTags keyfinders for Cyber Monday at just $62.99. The Apple Airtag works as a little Wi-Fi keyfinder that helps locate your lost objects by pinging its general location to your iPhone using Bluetooth 5.0. If you're willing to get your holiday shopping done in advance, the Apple Airtags would make a great gift idea for anyone who owns an iPhone and tends to lose small wearables like wallets, keys, or remotes.

Even after all these years, the Nvidia Shield Android TV Pro sits atop the throne as the best Android-based streaming box on the market. For Cyber Monday, you can get it on sale for just $169.99 after a 15% off discount. This deal isn't exactly an exclusive - it's also available at Amazon - but Best Buy is most likely to have it in stock for the longest.

Make no mistake the Shield TV Pro blows the Roku, Apple TV, Fire Stick, Chromecast, and just about every other media player out of the water in terms of performance and functionality. It's capable of handling 4K video with Dolby Vision HDR from all of your favorite streaming apps as well as Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital Plus audio support. The Shield TV Pro is also one of the only streaming devices that supports GeForce Now, which allows you to stream your PC games to your TV without having to own a gaming PC.

The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones is the 2025 successor to the WH-1000XM5 that was released back in 2022. Both sound quality and noise cancelation have been noticeably improved on the XM6 thanks to a more powerful QN3 audio processor and a total of 12 beam-forming microphones that do a great job of picking up and cancelling out unwanted noise. The XM6 is also more comfortable to wear because of the hinged earcups. The same design also allows the XMCyber Monday6 to be more easily stowed away since the earcups can be folded inwards to fit in a smaller carrying case. It can last up to 30 hours on a single charge, and a quick 3 minute top-up over USB Type-C will give you up to 3 hours of continuous playback. You can save some money by going with an older generation XM5 or even the XM4, but as long as it is within your budget, the XM6's improvements in sound quality, noise cancelation, and ergonomics makes the new model worth it.

LG's OLED TVs have been our favorite TVs for console gaming for three years running thanks to their outstanding image quality, low input lag, and high refresh rate. The 2025 C5 uses LG's proprietary Evo panel, which is significantly brighter and offers a wider color gamut than traditional W-OLED TVs.

Aside from higher production costs, there's no downside to this technology; the C5 boasts the near-infinite black levels, near-infinite contrast ratio, and near-instantaneous response times you'd expect from any OLED TV. This is easily the best TV for streaming 4K HDR content in its intended glory.

The LG C5 has the necessary gaming features as well, including a native 120Hz panel that can be pushed to as high as 144Hz, HDMI 2.1 inputs for running PS5 games in 4K at up to 120fps, variable refresh rate (VRR) and auto low latency mode (ALLM). The C5 is also lightweight for its size because the rear cabinet housing is made of a composite fiber; for example, this 65" model weighs only 36 pounds without the stand, making it much easier to wall mount.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 series is a higher-end model featuring an aluminum top and durable plastic bottom. It weighs in at about 5.6 pounds. The gorgeous 16" OLED display has a 2.5K 189ppi resolution, 165Hz refresh rate, HDR 1000 True Black certification, and 100% DCI-P3 color range. The Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX has a max turbo frequency of 5.1GHz with 16 total cores. According to PassMark, the Core Ultra 7 255HX is Intel's fourth best mobile gaming chip and beats out every AMD CPU. This is a great processor for both gaming and workstation use, and a good match with the GPU.

The GeForce RTX 5070 is about 10% better than the RTX 4070

The mobile RTX 5070 GPU performs about 5%-10% better than the RTX 4070 that it replaces. That's not a very big generational improvement, but the RTX 5070 has the newer DLSS 4 technology with multi-frame generation, which widens the performance gap in games that support it. DLSS 4.0. This GPU is a good match with the display's enhanced 2560x1600 resolution and bumping up to the next GPU in the stack (RTX 5070 Ti mobile) will cost you hundreds more.

For Cyber Monday, Dell is offering brand new Aliewnare Area-51 gaming PCs equipped with an GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card starting at just $3,899.99. This is the first time I've ever seen a brand new 5090 desktop configuration sell for under $4,000 at Dell. The base system features a 240mm liquid cooled Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM, and a 2TB SSD. The system includes a 1,500W 80Plus Platinum power supply which gives you extra headroom for future upgrades down the roam. The RAM and hard drives are easily user-swappable.

The pricier system listed above boasts a 360mm liquid cooled Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor.

Alienware Area-51 RTX 5090 Gaming PC (Refurb) for $3,720

Dell Outlet has just kicked off its own Cyber Monday Sale with some incredible pricing on Clearance, Like New (Refurbished) and Scratch & Dent Alienware Area-51 gaming PCs, equipped with your choice of GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 graphics cards. You're saving up to $1,600 compared to buying an identical system brand new.

All PCs purchased through Dell Outlet include the same warranty as buying new. Dell's certified refurbished systems are submitted to a rigorous refurbishing process. These previously owned products could have observable minor blemishes that do not affect performance, or could look as good as new.

New for 2025: The Alienware Area-51 Chassis

Dell unveiled the new Alienware Area-51 gaming PC at CES 2025. The chassis is a super-sized upgrade to the 2024 R16 system with aesthetic and cooling redesigns and updated components. The I/O panel is positioned at the top of the case instead of the front, and the tempered glass window now spans the entire side panel instead of just a smaller cutout. As a result, the side panel vents are gone, and instead air intakes are located at the bottom as well as the front of the case. Alienware is now pushing a positive airflow design (more intake than exhaust airflow), which means a less dusty interior. The internal components have been refreshed with a new motherboard, faster RAM, and bigger power supply to accommodate the new generation of CPUs and GPUs.

The RTX 5090 Is the Most Powerful Graphics Card Ever

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has emerged as the most powerful consumer GPU on the market. Although with this generation Nvidia has prioritized software updates, AI features, and DLSS 4 technology to improve gameplay performance, the 5090 still boasts an impressive 25%-30% uplift over the RTX 4090 in hardware-based raster performance. If you want the absolute best performance for your gaming PC, there is literally no other option from any other brand.

• Also available at Best Buy for $649.99

Save up to $270 off the higher-end Legion Go S model. Lenovo has it slightly cheaper than Best Buy thanks to two stackable coupon codes "BOPIS" and "LENOVOHOLIDEAL". Even if you buy it from Lenovo, you still have the option to choose in-store pickup at your local Best Buy retail store.

This particular Lenovo Legion Go S is equipped with the more powerful AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, 32GB of RAM, 512GB storage capacity, and it runs off SteamOS instead of Windows. The Z1 Extreme is much more powerful than the APU found in the Steam Deck and as such, it will outperform the Steam Deck in pretty much any situation. Graphics also look sharper with more fluid movement, thanks to a bigger 8" 1200p display with a higher 120Hz refresh rate. The Legion Go S also supports a much higher maximum charging rate (up to 100W vs 40W for the Steam Deck). This deal prices the Legion Go S on par with the highest end Steam Deck, but it's superior in almost every way.

Check out Jacqueline's 9/10 review of the Legion Go S (Z1 Extreme, SteamOS model), in which she concludes that it is one of the "best handheld gaming PCs on the market, and a legitimate Steam Deck alternative."

Lenovo Legion Go S Z2 Go SteamOS Edition

Also on sale is the Legion Go S Z2 Go Edition, which is currently $449.99 after a $200 discount. Despite the fact that the AMD Ryzen Z2 Go is a 2nd gen chip, it's actually less powerful than the Z1 Extreme. Fortunately, it's still more powerful than the Steam Deck's APU and you should expect slightly better performance out of it, especially if you knock the resolution down to 1280x800. Since a Steam Deck with equivalent specs will still cost you $549, this is a much better value: you get more features and pay less money.

Steam Deck 256GB LCD Edition

For Cyber Monday, Steam has discounted its base model with a 7" 1280x800 LCD display and 256GB of storage to $319.99, a 20% discount from its $400 list price. If you're pinching pennies, you won't find a less expensive gaming handheld PC. Every Steam Deck is equipped with the same processor, so the base model will still run games just as smoothly as the highest end $650 system. You can also upgrade the storage yourself with some technical know-how.

HP just dropped the price of the OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Laptop to just $1,299.99 after an extra $50 off coupon code "STUFFING50". Specs include a 16" 1920x1200 display, your choice of Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX or AMD Ryzen AI 7 H350 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. This system can be customized if any of the specs aren't to your liking. I'd recommend upgrading to the 2560x1600 OLED display for an extra $150. The RTX 5070 Ti is a powerful mobile GPU that should easily handle even the latest demanding games on the laptop's 2K display. It's better than the RTX 4080 especially with DLSS 4.

OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5080 Gaming Laptop From $1,699.99

Lower than Black Friday

If you want something even more powerful, then check out these OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5080 gaming laptops for as low as $1,699.99 with free shipping after up to $1,500 in instant discounts and $100 off code "GOBBLE100". Aside from the GPU, this laptop has been upgraded with a higher resolution 16" 2560x1600 display, a more powerful and higher core-count Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX or AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX375 processor, and double the RAM (the Intel model also gets double the storage). The RTX 5080 is an absolute monster of a mobile GPU that surpasses the previous generation's top performer, the RTX 4090. You could even enable ray tracing!

OMEN MAX 16" RTX 5060 Gaming Laptop for $975

Lower than Black Friday

If your budget limits you to under $1,000, don't fret because you can still get yourself a powerful gaming laptop with excellent build quality. This OMEN MAX 16 configuration cost just $974.99 after an $800 instant discount and $25 off code "GRAVY25". It features a 16" 1920x1200 165Hz IPS display, AMD Ryzen AI 7 H350 processor, GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The RTX 5060 is about 15%-20% more powerful than the RTX 4060 that it replaces and approaches the performance of the RTX 4070, especially with DLSS 4 enabled.

OMEN Transcend 14 RTX 5060 Ultra-Portable Gaming Laptop

The OMEN Transcend 14 is HP's thinnest and lightest gaming laptop, measuring just 0.71" thin and weighing in at about 3.6 pounds (about as thin and light as the much pricier Razer Blade 14). Right now you can get it for as low as $1,249.99 for Black Friday after a $750 off instant discount. It's equipped with a gorgeous 14" 2880x1800 OLED display, efficient Intel Core Ultra 7 255H CPU, GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, 16GB of LPDDR5X onboard RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. Note that the RTX 5060 GPU is slightly throttled (lower TGP rating) to prevent overheating in such a slim enclosure.

We picked this model as the best overall iPad of 2025. For most people, the iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best model to get, and not just because it's the least expensive iPad on the block. Despite its affordable price point, it offers all the benefits of the iOS operating system with premium build quality and snappy performance. The 11th generation model is equipped with an 11" 264ppi Liquid Retina display, A16 Bionic chip, and starts at 128GB of internal storage. This model doesn't support Apple Intelligence, so you'll need to move up the ladder if you want Apple's new AI tech.

Apple iPad Mini 8.3" (A17 Pro)

The iPad Mini may be diminutive in size, but certainly not in performance. The A17 Pro chip is actually more powerful than the A16 Bionic found in the standard iPad. And despite the fact that the 8.3" screen is smaller, it's a higher quality display with a sharper 326ppi pixel density and both P3 Wide Color and True Tone technology. Also, unlike the standard iPad, the iPad Mini supports Apple Intelligence.

Apple iPad Air 11" and 13" (M3)

The 7th generation Apple iPad Air M3 tablet offers performance closer to the iPad Pro but without the hefty price tag. For Cyber Monday, the 11" model is down to $449 and the 13" model is down to $649, both after a $150 off instant discount. The 7th gen iPad Pro Air was released in March and features an 11" or 13" 264ppi Liquid Retina display with P3 Wide Color and True Tone technology, an Apple M3 chip, and starts at 128GB of storage. This model also supports Apple Intelligence.

Apple iPad Pro 11" and 13" (M5)

The new iPad Pro is the best tablet on the market, iOS or otherwise, thanks to the new M5 processor, which is both powerful and power-efficient. However, the processor isn't the only reason why the iPad Pro is superior to all other iPads. It's also the only tablet, Apple or otherwise, equipped with a tandem OLED display. Tandem OLED is better than traditional OLED (which is already best-in-class) for two reasons: 1) it's far brighter, and 2) it's less prone to burn-in. If you're wondering why this technology hasn't found its way into TVs, the answer is simply because it's not cost-effective at larger sizes. The iPad can get away with it because the display is smaller, but that's also a reason for the premium price point.

If you intend want to get an iPad for schoolwork, we have an iPad guide for students as well. If you're looking for options outside of iOS, check out the best Android tablets of 2025.

The QuietComfort Ultra is Bose's newest noise-cancelling headphone, released in late 2023. It is a significant upgrade over the standard QuietComfort headphones in audio and noise-cancelling performance and is easily comparable to other current heavyweights like the Sony WH-1000XM5/XM6 and the AirPods Max. The Ultra features redesigned ear cushions that are both more comfortable and provide a more secure seal, resulting in better passive noise isolation. It also supports spatial audio for better immersion, and it's updated with the new Bluetooth 5.3 protocol. Android users can rejoice in the fact that the Ultra supports Snapdragon Sound, a feature that offers optimized sound quality, connection stability, and latency for your streaming audio when the headphone is connected to an Android device.

Other features include an "Aware" mode that picks up ambient noises and amplifies them so that you can listen in on the outside world without having to take off your headphones, a respectable 24 hours of battery life on a single charge, an updated USB Type-C port, Bluetooth multipoint for simultaneous pairing with up to two devices, and a dual-hinge design that enables the headphones to fold up and flat for easier portability.

New for 2025, the OMEN MAX 16 is an upgrade to the OMEN 16 both in terms of build quality and cooling potential. Unlike the OMEN 16, the OMEN MAX 16 is almost entirely constructed of aluminum, including both the top lid and chassis. The exception is the palm rest, which is still plastic so that it doesn't get too toasty for your hands. The OMEN MAX 16 also features a new OMEN Tempest Cooling Pro design that combines vapor chamber cooling, redesigned fan configuration, and an improved thermal interface material to maximize heat transfer. Not only does this keep the OMEN MAX 16 cooler during gaming marathons, it also allows for the current-generation graphics cards to perform optimally without throttling.

This particular configuration features a 16" 1920x1200 display, Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX CPU, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti mobile GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Both the memory and storage can be user-upgraded. I would recommend upgrading to the 16" 2560x1600 OLED display for an additional $190.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 255X is a top performing CPU

The Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX is a 20-core processor with a max turbo frequency of 5.2GHz. In terms of gaming performance, upgrading to an Ultra 9 would be a waste of money. Games are typically GPU-bound, so getting the best GPU within your budget should be the highest priority. Most games also can't utilize more than 4-8 cores, so the extra cores on the Core Ultra 9 are unnecessary. The Ultra 9 275HX does have a slightly higher clock speed (5.4GHz vs 5.2GHz) but that's just a 4% difference in performance, completely unnoticeable in actual gameplay.

The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti mobile GPU can handle the most demanding games

The RTX 5070 Ti mobile GPU is comparable in performance to the previous generation's RTX 4080 and pulls ahead of it in games that support DLSS 4. It should be able to handle even the newest and most demanding games like Ghost of Yotei, Battlefield 6, and Borderlands 4 on the native 1920x1200 resolution. It can also run the same games at 2560x1600 if you opt for the OLED upgrade, although you may have to minimally tweak some graphics settings to maintain 60fps.

The 57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 is one of few 57" dual 4K UHD monitors on the market, boasting an eye-watering 7680x2160 resolution, or the equivalent of two 4K UHD monitors stacked next to each other. Despite the display being so large, it has an above-average 140ppi pixel density, which is amazing considering the fact that in general the bigger the display, the lower the ppi. To put that into perspective, it's as sharp as a 32" 4K monitor. Wow.

The Odyssey Neo G9 is equipped with a Mini LED backlight paired with a quantum dot (QLED) panel. Like its namesake suggests, mini-LED panels have smaller LEDs than traditional LED LCD monitors, so you can squeeze in more lighting zones. Mini-LED monitors are also much brighter than OLED monitors, which is very important because larger monitors are generally dimmer than smaller ones to start.

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor has a max turbo frequency of 5.7GHz with 24 cores and a 40MB L2 cache. According to Passmark, the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K is a better gaming chip than the previous generation's Intel Core i9-14900K.

The RTX 5080 is the second best Blackwell graphics card, surpassed only by the $2,000 RTX 5090. It's about 5%-10% faster than the previous generation RTX 4080 Super, which is discontinued and no longer available. In games that support DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation exclusive to Blackwell cards, the gap widens. This is an outstanding card for playing even the latest games at 4K resolution with high settings and ray tracing enabled.

Why Choose Lenovo?

Lenovo Legion gaming PCs and laptops generally feature better build quality than what you'd find from other prebuilt PCs. For desktop PCs in particular, people like the fact that Lenovo does not use proprietary components in its computer systems, so they're easier to upgrade with off-the-shelf parts. Although we haven't yet reviewed the new 2025 models, we have reviewed last year's Legion 7 desktop and really liked its build quality and performance.
