Dell XPS 13.
Photo: DellDell XPS 13 is still Best 13 inch Windows laptop on the market (8/10, Recommend with WIRED). It’s light and powerful because it’s a model with an Intel Core i5 (11th generation) chip, 8 gigs of RAM, and a 256 gigabyte SSD. This model has a 1080p display, which should please most people. Over there to be Upscale 4K and OLED screens are available, but they are not for sale.
We’re big fans of this lightweight laptop (9/10, Recommend with WIRE), has excellent battery life and compact form. You’ll find Apple’s powerful M1 chip inside, along with 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD. This MacBook has a 13-inch screen, nice speakers, and a good microphone, but the webcam could be better.
This Acer Windows laptop is in Best laptop instruct. The Core i7 model offers great performance, the battery lasts all day, and you can even play Fortnite up there! That’s not all, Swift 5 has several ports, like USB-C, USB-A, HDMI and a headphone jack. It is truly a one-of-a-kind transaction.
A great all-rounder, Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 4 (7/10, Recommend with WIRED) has top battery life for a 15-inch laptop. It runs cool and fast, and we like the large 3:2 ratio screen. We also appreciate keeping the USB-A port and headphone port, but there’s no Thunderbolt and the keyboard isn’t satisfying to type on.
Do you mainly work on a web browser? Then most likely a Chromebook will suffice (if you like using Google Chrome). You maybe access Android apps, but everything runs around Chrome. The Spin 713 has a speedy Core i5 chip and great battery life. It is one of the Our favorite Chromebooks.
Full Jarvis standing desk.
Photo: FullJarvis is all ours favorite standing desk. You can adjust the height easily, and the four height presets mean others in the house can quickly move it to their preferred height. The eco-friendly bamboo top is cherry, but there are plenty of customizations you can do to personalize it even further.
Amazon (Coupon Click Button), Flexispot ($250)
This is one of the most affordable (and great) standing desks around. You get height presets, an eco-friendly cardboard top, and a motor that moves it up and down quite smoothly and quietly. It’s hard to ask for more at this price point.
If your room is very hot (and you can’t control the temperature much), get the X-Chair X2. It has a mesh seat and backrest to keep you cool. It’s really comfortable and you can add accessories like a headrest or a wider seat. You can read more about it in Guide to the Best Office Chairs.
This 1080p webcam may need some tweaking to get a decent picture using Razer’s Synapse software, but the picture quality is clear. It’s in ours Best Webcam and this is the lowest price we’ve ever seen on it.
Need the fastest transfer speed? Later portable solid-state drive we tested, this one is the fastest. The metal case means it’s durable, and you’ll get a terabyte of storage to hold movies, photos, games, and—well, pretty much anything.
If you want a stand for your iPad, try this one that we like. It’s easy to attach and detach, and can be used around your home.

Logitech G305.
Photo: AmazonI’ve been using this simple mouse for almost two years, and it’s still as good as new. It feels great in the hand (though it’s not ideal for people with large palms), the wireless connection is perfect, and the battery lasts months before you need to replace a single AA battery. Our test Best gaming mouse instructions for more information.
Roccat Kone Pro Air is one of our favorite gaming mice, not only because it has weird, semi-transparent LED buttons, but also because it makes for a satisfying click. If you’re the type of person who gets high emotions from a blinking mechanical keyboard, this mouse pairs well with your sensory panel. This is the lowest we have ever seen.
This deal on our picks for best wireless mouse has been going on since earlier this month, but it’s still a bargain. Designed for professional esports, it’s fast and responsive, and the buttons are nice and easy to press. It fits perfectly for many hand sizes and doesn’t get cluttered with extra buttons.
It’s hard to spend time on Twitch without meeting a streamer using this HyperX microphone. In addition to providing incredible sound quality for the USB microphone, it also includes outstanding LED lights, which look great on camera. Even if you don’t plan to turn your gaming habit into a product, it’s a good microphone for a great price.

Razor Huntsman Mini Keyboard
Photo: RazerThis is the cheapest price we’ve ever seen on what we consider best mini gaming keyboard. It’s a 60% keyboard, which means it has 60% of the keys typically found on a regular-sized keyboard. Numpad and arrow keys are chopped off, and you are left with only the essentials. The Razer Huntsman Mini is my favorite size of this size for gaming. It feels as fast and responsive as a full-size keyboard, but it takes up a lot less desk space.
If you’re confused about all the different game subscriptions needed to get the most out of your PlayStation or Xbox, we break it down all the difference here.

If you have a PS5, PS Plus Collection gives you the 20 best PS4 games you can keep up with.
Oculus 2 Quest (9/10, Recommend with WIRE) to be Best VR headset for most people. It’s incredibly simple to use, you get a higher resolution than its predecessor, and the library of games and apps you can access keeps growing (Defeat Sabre still a favorite). This isn’t a deal, but you can use a free Target gift card on just about anything at the retailer.

When time becomes a loop, things can get messy. This original and exhilarating stealth shooter challenges you to finish off eight targets’ lives, but they won’t make it easy for you. Beautifully crafted, with a psychedelic look you won’t soon forget, this one needs to be played.
We have yet to try this router, but it has good reviews on the web and the speed is expected to be a serious boon for any gamer who loves fast-paced multiplayer games. . There’s also support for the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard, and you can access many of the router’s settings via Netgear’s Android or iOS app.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is one of the Best deals in the game right now. If you have an Xbox or PC, you have access to hundreds of games that you can download and install, plus games from the EA Play library. You can also play online multiplayer and Microsoft’s new game streaming service, xCloud, so you can play some games on your tablet or smartphone (the service is at trial phase). Some titles swing in and out, and most of Microsoft’s first-party Xbox Game Studios titles come out as soon as they’re released, like Halo Infinite. If you have a PC, a three-month standard Game Pass membership is $15 ($15 off).
