UK monitor madness
Just scouring some UK deals, and I've come across this frankly ridiculous monitor deal. You can get a 27-inch Lenovo gaming monitor with 2560 x 1440p resolution and a 200Hz refresh rate for just £99, fully 50% off the usual price.
This would be a fantastic monitor to pair with a gaming PC, or for use with an Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5, and at just £99, it's one of the best-value monitors in the UK right now. - Stephen Warwick
Get a 5070 laptop for just $1,249
If you're in the market for a gaming laptop, the Asus V16 gets you an RTX 5070 for just $1,249. That's one of the better laptops we've seen over this week, and this discount is new for the early hours of Thursday, the lowest price we've ever seen on this model.
Gaming laptops are often very big and clunky, and while this isn't as light as a MacBook Air, it is definitely one of the lower-profile models on the market, making it a bit more portable.
The 10-core Intel CPU has four efficiency cores and six performance cores, with max boost clocks of up to 5.2 GHz. There's 8GB of VRAM in the RTX 5070, which should be plenty for good frames at the 1920 x 1200 resolution. While this is an LED display, rather than OLED, you're still getting a good 144Hz refresh rate. Couple that with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, and this is a pretty excellent gaming laptop. - Stephen Warwick
Wavlink’s Thunderbolt 5 docking station falls to under $200 for Prime Day
If you have a Thunderbolt 5 Windows PC or Mac, investing in a good docking station is critical to supporting a large variety of accessories and monitors. This is especially true for ultrabooks, which often have only two external ports that must be shared between charging and connectivity. With this in mind, Wavlink's WL-UTD58 Thunderbolt 5 docking station is a perfect solution for adding I/O ports and is on sale for $195 (versus a list price of $299.99).
First of all, it is pretty well stacked with ports:
Front
- 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen 2
- 1x Thunderbolt 5 upstream (80 Gbps bi-directional)
- 1x Thunderbolt 5 downstream (80 Gbps bi-directional)
- 1x audio combo jack
- 1x microSD UHS-II slot
- 1x SD UHS-II slot
Back
- 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen 2
- 2x Thunderbolt 5 downstream (80 Gbps bi-directional)
- 1x 2.5 GbE (RJ45) port
I tested the WL-UTD58-M version of this dock, which is identical, save for the inclusion of an internal M.2 slot for a PCIe 4.0 SSD. It offers solid performance, has good build quality, and has easily accessible ports. My only gripe is that the Thunderbolt 5 port for connecting to the host machine is on the front of the unit instead of the back, but that’s a relatively minor issue. — Brandon Hill
