Get this RTX 4060-powered gaming PC for under $1,000 at HP
Internals of the HP Omen 35L.

If you’re looking for great gaming PC deals, head over to HP. While it might seem a more likely outlet for standard desktop computer deals, HP is great for gaming through its HP Omen line of gaming desktops. Right now, you can buy the HP Omen 35L gaming desktop for $450 off, meaning instead of paying $1,400, you pay $950. That works out as a 32% price cut, so it’s a pretty sweet deal. In part, this is due to the launch of the GeForce RTX 50-series of GPUs, but investing in a 40-series GPU is still a good option. Here’s what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the HP Omen 35L
HP isn’t a big name in the best gaming PCs world, but it has featured there in the past with its HP Omen range. With the HP Omen 35L, there’s a lot to like. It has a 14th-generation Intel Core i5-14400F CPU teamed up with 16GB of Kingston Fury DDR5 and 512GB of SSD storage. For the graphics card, there’s an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060. Understandably, none of this is top of the range, but it’s a good selection of hardware for $950.

Why you should buy the Eufy 11S Slim robot vacuum

With thickness of just 2.85 inches, it can slide under most furniture with ease, so it will be able to pick up dirt and debris that are hidden, and with the brand's BoostIQ technology, the robot vacuum will automatically increase its suction power whenever extra strength is necessary to finish cleaning.
