Gaming laptop deals that are below $1,000 usually aren’t good enough for most gamers, but that’s not the case with Best Buy’s offer for the Asus TUF Gaming A16. From its original price of $1,100, this device is on sale for only $700 following a $400 discount. It’s a budget-friendly gaming laptop that’s worth every single penny, especially with these savings, but you’ll have to hurry with your purchase because we’re not sure how much time is remaining before the bargain ends.

Why you should buy the Asus TUF Gaming A16 gaming laptop

For its relatively affordable price, you shouldn’t expect the Asus TUF Gaming A16 to challenge the performance of the best gaming laptops. However, it’s more than enough to enjoy today’s best PC games. It’s equipped with the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS processor and the AMD Radeon RX7700S graphics card, alongside 16GB of RAM that’s the best place to start for gaming, according to our guide on how much RAM do you need. This Asus TUF Gaming A16 may not have the breakneck speeds of the top-tier models, but it’s much better than the other gaming laptops that you can buy for this price.

The Asus TUF Gaming A16 features a 16-inch screen with Full HD resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate, which enables sharp details and smooth animations for your video games. However, despite the size of its display, the gaming laptop maintains its portability because it weighs just below 5 pounds and is just 0.87 inches thick. It’s also equipped with a huge 512GB SSD for its size, and with Windows 11 Home pre-loaded, you can start installing your favorite titles right after you turn on the Asus TUF Gaming A16 for the first time.

AMD’s RDNA 4 may surprise us in more ways than one
AMD RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT graphics cards.

Thanks to all the leaks, I thought I knew what to expect with AMD's upcoming RDNA 4. It turns out I may have been wrong on more than one account.

The latest leaks reveal that AMD's upcoming best graphics card may not be called the RX 8800 XT, as most leakers predicted, but will instead be referred to as the  RX 9070 XT. In addition, the first leaked benchmark of the GPU gives us a glimpse into the kind of performance we can expect, which could turn out to be a bit of a letdown.

This futuristic mechanical keyboard will set you back an eye-watering $1,600
Hands typing on The Icebreaker keyboard.

I've complained plenty about how some of the best gaming keyboards are too expensive, from the Razer Black Widow V4 75% to the Wooting 80HE, but nothing comes remotely close to The Icebreaker. Announced nearly a year ago by Serene Industries, The Icebreaker is unlike any keyboard I've ever seen -- and it's priced accordingly at $1,600. Plus shipping, of course.

What could justify such an extravagant price? Aluminum, it turns out. The keyboard is constructed of one single block of 6061 aluminum in what Serene Industries calls an "unorthodox wedge form." As if that wasn't enough metal, the keycaps are also made of aluminum, and Serene says they include "about 800" micro-perforations that allow the LED backlight of the keyboard to shine through.

Google one-ups Microsoft by making chats easier to transfer
Google Spaces in Google Chat on a MacBook.

In a recent blog post, Google announced that it is making it easier for admins to migrate from Microsoft Teams to Google Chat to reduce downtime. Admins can easily do this within the Google Chat migration menu and connect to opposing Microsoft accounts to transfer Teams data.

Google gave step-by-step instructions for admins on how to transfer the messages. Admins need to connect to their Microsoft account and upload a CSV of the Teams from where they transfer the messages. From there, it requires just entering a starting date for messages to be migrated from Teams and clicking Star migration. Once it's complete, it'll make the migrated space, messages, and conversation data available to Google Workspace users.
