Adata manufactures this XPG “Xenia” laptop, and it’s actually well rated for its build quality and performance, especially for its price point.

That is the highest TDP one can achieve with a mobile RTX 3070 GPU, which means that performance-wise this laptop should be at or near the top of the pack.

You’ll be hard pressed to find a less expensive gaming laptop that’s equipped with an RTX 3070 mobile GPU, let alone one that also boasts a 17″ display. Even more impressive is that the RTX 3070 has a rated TDP of 130W, which means it’s more powerful than most RTX 3070 equipped laptops out there. As a bonus, 3 months of Xbox Game Pass is also included.

This is the lowest price ever for an excellent board game with tons of replayability. This is a pretty complex board game that involves up to 5 players cooperating AND competing amongst each other to make Mars a a habitable planet by raising the temperature, the oxygen level, and the ocean coverage. Average playtime session is about 2 hours long. This is one of the best economic strategy games around and well worth the price, especially with this nearly 50% price drop.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe

For the first time ever, Pikmin 3 Deluxe has dropped to only $29.99. We’ve seen it once before for $39.99, but otherwise this charming little game almost never gets discounted. Pikmin 3 Deluxe is a remake of the 2013 Wii original, and it’s a quality remake at that. We gave this game a 9/10 at IGN, remarking that “small but fun content additions and a boatload of quality-of-life tweaks make an excellent game even better.”

GeForce RTX 3080 GPU From $879.99 (and ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 3080 GPU for $999.99)

Update: The ASUS ROG STRIX model is pricier than the other two offerings at $999.99, but that’s because the STRIX is considered the best of the best of the RTX 30 series cards. It offers a significally OC’ed 1935MHz boost clock and, thanks to an extremely beefy heatsink, one of the lowest noise profiles of any RTX 3080.

These are easily the best prices we’ve seen for an RTX 3080 video card since launch. At this price point, the RTX 3080 is a better value than the 3080 Ti, which costs at least $250 more at reputable vendors. The performance gap between the 3080 and 3080 Ti is about 3%, hardly noticeable. The 3080 is significantly more powerful than the previous generation’s flagship RTX 2080 SUPER. This is the card you want to get if you plan to game at 4K.

GeForce RTX 3070 GPU for $649.99

RTX 3070 Ti for $699.99

The RTX 3070 is another card that outpaces the RTX 2080 SUPER. It’s a great card for 1440p gaming, even at up to 144Hz refresh rates, and has the chops to take on 4K gaming as well (although obviously not as proficiently as the RTX 3080). It can easily handle VR gaming. The RTX 3070 Ti offers about a 5%-10% boost in performance, not a huge amount but the price isn’t that much different either.

Once you hit the product page, you’ll have to select “RTX 3060” for $250 and a “500W Power Supply) for $50. You can buy the system as is, or you can choose to add a few more choice upgrades. You certainly have leeway with this super cheap price.

Alienware Aurora R10 Liquid Cooled AMD Ryzen 7 5800 RTX 3080 PC with 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD

The RTX 3080 is way more powerful than the previous generation’s best video card, the RTX 2080 Ti, and is the best recommended video card for 4K gaming. The RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3090 are the only cards that are (very slightly) more powerful, but they cost hundreds of dollars more. The RTX 3080 is paired with an AMD Ryzen 7 5900 CPU, which is still one of the best processors out there, whether it be for gaming or for workstation purposes. It’s been upgraded with liquid cooling as well. The rig is ready to go out of the box with 16GB of DD4-3200MHz RAM and a generously sized 1TB M.2 PCIe NVME SSD. Don’t worry, even the power supply is up to snuff with an ample 1000W rating.

Dell G15 15″ Intel Core i5-11260H RTX 3050 Ti Gaming Laptop with 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD

This is the lowest price we’ve seen so far for an RTX 3050 Ti equipped gaming laptop. At under $700 you can’t really find a mobile GPU with more power than the RTX 3050 Ti; it’s a little bit more powerful than the previous generation’s GTX 1660 Ti, plus it offers DLSS support. It should handle 1080p gaming at high settings on most games without a hitch.
