The Arc A770 16GB is the best GPU right now for 1080p gaming, and it is now at all-time low pricing

If you’re looking for a budget gaming GPU deal, we want to keep the price close to $200, and we generally recommend against 8GB cards these days. The

, probably in advance of the Arc B580 arriving in a few weeks. But the A770 provides plenty of memory and decent performance, and it’s a great fit for 1080p gaming.

Arc Alchemist really seems to come into its own with 16GB of VRAM — there are a lot of games where it ends up being noticeably faster than the A750, primarily due to the added memory. It’s also roughly on par with AMD’s RX 6650 XT, but with twice the VRAM for the same price, and it’s about 10% faster overall than Nvidia’s older RTX 3060 12GB, which still costs $269.

Intel’s drivers have come a long way over the past couple of years, and you also get good AV1 encoding support. There are still occasional quirks, but showstopping bugs are very rare these days. It’s probably a good idea to see what the next-gen Arc B580 has to offer, but if you don’t want to wait and need an affordable card right now, the A770 fits the bill.

I just bought one of these laptops. Now it starts at $999.

(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)

I’ve been reviewing laptops for 17 years now and my favorite productivity laptop, over the course of many generations, is the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon. I bought a Carbon (6th Gen) back in 2018 and, last month, I bought a new one: a 12th Gen X1 Carbon. The old one was still going strong, but I wanted more RAM and better performance after six years.

What I love about the X1 Carbon is how it makes me a better performer. The keyboard is snappy and a joy to type on with its deep travel, curved key caps and snappy feedback. The soft-touch palmrest gently cradles my wrists while i work. And I never have to even lift my hands off of the home row to move my cursor, because I can use the TrackPoint pointing stick. If you don’t like the nub, there’s a touchpad (but try the nub; you’ll like it, honest).

Now, you can get the X1 Carbon (Gen 12) base configuration, which comes with a Core Ultra 5 CPU, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and a 1920 x 1200, non-touch screen for

That config should be fine for a lot of people, but I wanted a ton of RAM when I bought mine so I used Lenovo.com’s

feature to increase the amount of RAM in my unit to 64GB and make the CPU a Core Ultra 7 165U (required if you want the 64GB RAM option).

I saved some money on my build by going with a tiny, 256GB SSD and opting for Ubuntu Linux instead of Windows. Then, after I bought the laptop, I swapped in a 2TB SSD and installed Windows 11 Pro, which I bought product key for for just $12. There’s no way to upgrade the RAM after you buy an X1 Carbon so better to be stingy on the SSD and get as much RAM as you think you’ll ever need.

Today, you can get the same config I bought — with 64GB, a Core Ultra 7 165U, a 1920 x 1200 non-touch display, Ubuntu Linux and a 256GB SSD for $1,611.50. If you want a 1TB SSD and Windows 11 Home preloaded, the price goes to $1,935.

You can also save money by configuring your X1 Carbon with 32GB of RAM instead of 64GB. For most people, 32GB is fine. But I like to run virtual machines in windows on my computer so I need that extra memory.

This 32-inch, Dell gaming monitor is our top pick and now it’s just $199

The Dell S3222DGM tops our list of the best gaming monitors overall, because it offers the best combination of performance, image quality and build quality. This 32-inch, curved display outputs at 165 Hz, and works with FreeSync and G-Sync adaptive sync standards. So, if you’re playing a game at up to 165 fps, you won’t see any tearing or ghosting.

It also has a very immersive, 1800R curve and a sharp, 2560 x 1440 resolution. Sure, you could buy a 4K gaming monitor, but those cost a lot more and most people don’t have graphics cards that can give you high fps and special effects at 4K. Right now, the S3222DGM is

at Best Buy, which is down from its $329 regular price and matches its all-time low.

The Dell S3222DGM isn’t just sharp and smooth, it’s also colorful. Thanks to its VA panel, it delivers a contrast ratio that’s a full 3,718:1 where most monitors, which have IPS panels, are closer to the 1000:1 range. The more contrast, the more colors appear to pop.

Dell XPS 13 (9350) “Lunar Lake” laptop scores $400 discount, falls to $999

(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)

Dell’s XPS family of laptops has always been a favorite here at Tom’s Hardware. The XPS 13 has always offered a compelling balance of performance and features in a thin and light chassis.

Intel’s latest take on that formula is the XPS 13 (9350), which uses Intel’s Core Ultra 2 “Lunar Lake” processors as its heart and soul. Dell is currently running a ***** on the XPS 13 (9350) configured with a Core Ultra 7 256V processor, 16GB of LPDDR5X, a 512GB SSD, and a 13.4-inch FHD+ (1920 x 1200) 120 Hz display. The laptop normally costs $1,399 but is currently on ***** for $400 off,

.

When we reviewed the XPS 13 (9530) in October, we praised the minimalist design and incredibly long battery life (17+ hours). However, we did knock the machine because it did not have the performance chops to keep up with its Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite counterpart. The Snapdragon X Elite version also eked out another two hours of battery life.

However, with this new discount, the XPS 13 (9350) makes a better case for itself thanks to its value proposition. In addition, you get x86 compatibility, which has been a challenge for the XPS 13 (9345).

We should note that the $999 price applies to the Graphite and Platinum colors for the XPS 13 (9350), which is nice. However, you’ll need to act fast if you want to hop on this deal: Dell says the promotion only lasts for the next two days (though Cyber Monday).
