The Asus ROG Ally is the most popular Windows alternative to Steam Deck, and it's also one of the most affordable--especially at the new discounted prices. The standard version built with the Ryzen Z1 processor is just $380 (was $500), and since it runs on Windows instead of a custom OS like Steam Deck, it's great for playing all your favorite PC games. For more power, the Ryzen Z1 Extreme version is $500 (was $650). Both feature a 7-inch display with a 1080p resolution, 512GB SSD, and an ergonomic design that's great for long play sessions. You also get a free carrying case and one month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate with either model.
Both the Microsoft Surface Pro and Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 are on sale, with the latter getting a huge $400 price cut. Equipped with a 14.4-inch touchscreen, 13th Gen Core i7, RTX 4050, and 512GB SSD, the Laptop Studio 2 is an overpowered workstation. Though it's better used as a professional rig for artists and developers, the dedicated Nvidia graphics card makes it suitable for gaming, too. The Surface Pro, meanwhile, is significantly cheaper and could be a good companion for students or young professionals.
The HP Omen 16.1-Inch Gaming Laptop is on sale for $1,000, and it's a great choice if you're seeking a portable gaming rig. Typically $1,400, it features an RTX 4060, 13th Gen Core i9, 1TB SSD, and 16GB RAM. That makes it capable of tackling most of today's hottest games--and they should all look great on its display, which supports a 165Hz refresh rate. For desktops, check out the iBuyPower Y60 for $1,600 (was $1,800), as it's equipped with an RTX 4070, 2TB SSD, 32GB RAM, and 14th Gen Core i7.
If you need a laptop for school or work, a few good Lenovo products are discounted this weekend. The most premium laptop on sale is the Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1, which is seeing a $350 price cut. Along with a vibrant OLED touchscreen, it features a 1TB SSD, the new Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, and an included stylus for taking notes or drawing. For something on the extreme budget side, the Lenovo Ideapad 1 is available for the super-low price of $130 (was $250). It won't set any speed records, but it's suitable for browsing the web, streaming TV shows, or getting a bit of work done.
Neither is ideal for gaming, but these two discounted Dell laptops are a good fit for young professionals or college students. The more affordable Dell Inspiron 15 should be suitable for most shoppers, thanks to its 12th Gen Core i5, 8GB RAM, and 512GB SSD. It's especially good for folks on a budget, listed for just $380 (down from $630). For a bit more firepower, the Dell Inspiron 14 is also on sale. It's equipped with a Ryzen 5 8000 Series, 8GB RAM, and 512GB SSD.
The HP Spectre 2-in-1 is seeing a $600 price cut, making this a good time to upgrade from your current laptop. Its integrated Intel Arc GPU isn't great for gaming, though it should be able to handle less demanding titles without much trouble. For work or school, it's an absolute beast--thanks to the Intel Core Ultra 7, 2TB SSD, OLED display, and 32GB RAM. For an affordable alternative, the HP Envy 2-in-1 16-Inch is worth a closer look now that it's just $500 (was $850).
It's usually a bit expensive at $80, but the Surface Arc Wireless Mouse is a stylish and unique option worth considering now that it's discounted to $60. There's not much else that looks like it on the market--and since it's designed for both left--and right-hand use, it makes a cool addition to any workspace. And if you're trying to cut down on cables strewn throughout your home office, check out the Surface Thunderbolt 4 Dock. It's a versatile hub for all your gadgets, allowing you to connect up to two 4K monitors, support for ultra-fast charging, and a variety of USB ports.
