Dell’s fast G5 15 laptop is $ 1,100 in a limited time

If you are looking for a capable laptop without spending too much, this is a great time to visit this deal on Dell’s website. The Dell G5 15 is offered for $ 1,099.99 (originally $ 1,540 for this setup). For that price, you get the laptop filled with a 15.6-inch FHD screen that supports up to 144Hz refresh rate, a six-core Intel Core i7-10750H processor, an Nvidia RTX 2070 Max-Q graphics chip, 16 GB of RAM, a 512 GB NVMe SSD, and a number of ports, including a Thunderbolt 3 port. It looks like a capable machine.

Dell also makes the G5 15 SE, pictured above. There are not many visual differences, except that there is a more muted color in this discount model. But inside, the G5 has 15 SE AMD components instead of Intel and Nvidia.

Lenovo’s seven-inch smart screen is $ 70 at B&H Photo. It manages Google software and works in many ways exactly like Google’s own Nest Hub. The big difference with this model is that it includes a camera for video chats, with a physical lens switch if you do not want it on. What’s missing, though, is the Nest Hub’s brilliant automatic setting that adapts to the lighting in your room. This feature is especially ideal for photos, and makes it look natural during all exposure scenarios. If a camera is more important, Lenovo’s smart screen should be a good match for the price.

Normally $ 199, Lenovo’s Smart Display 7 has dropped dramatically in price since it launched in 2018. It’s still worth buying if you want to video chat with friends and family or ask questions to the Google Assistant.

The best offering of a cheap device today is none other than SanDisk’s 400 GB microSD card at Amazon. It sells for $ 45, which is about as cheap as you’d find it outside of holiday discounts. It offers great gifts to yourself or anyone else that can significantly extend the internal storage of the Nintendo Switch, a GoPro camera or any compatible phone or tablet.

The Nintendo Switch comes with 32 GB of internal storage, which you can not take very far when downloading games. Adding a 400 GB microSD card is a smart, relatively affordable way to boost your storage.

Google’s Nest Audio speaker is $ 20 off at several retailers, including Google’s Store, Best Buy, and more. To my knowledge, this is the lowest price yet for a single speaker. During the holidays, Google dropped $ 20 off two speakers purchased as a set, so that’s a better deal. This model offers much better sound performance than the Google Home speaker it replaces, and it also looks nicer. Check out my colleague Dan Seifert’s review if you want to learn more about the speaker.

Google’s smart speaker with better sound quality than the Google Home. Pairing two Google Nest Audios in stereo can give you a better experience while sitting on your favorite songs.
