That's where I come in. Today, I present to you this Lenovo LOQ gaming laptop with an Intel Core i5 processor and Nvidia RTX 3050 graphics card for just $641.06 on eBay.
A couple of caveats. First, this is refurbished laptop. But as refurbs go, this is one of the best. It's being sold directly by Lenovo's corporate eBay account, and comes with a two-year warranty (which is better than the warranties on most new laptops).
Second, an RTX 3050 with 6GB of video RAM is definitely on the low end of modern graphics cards. This thing will be fine for League of Legends or Counter-Strike, but you'll have to turn the settings down to hit 60 frames per second in something like Space Marine 2.
The rest of the hardware is solid, especially the 13th-gen 8-core processor and the 15.6-inch IPS screen with 144Hz of refresh rate. The Lenovo LOQ 15 also comes with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and 512GB of SSD storage, both of which can be upgraded with a few inexpensive parts and some elbow grease on your screwdriver.
This laptop is, to use a technical term, a chunky boi. It's meant to sit on your desk most of the time, weighing in at 5.29 pounds (2.4 kilograms) and just a hair under an inch thick, according to Lenovo's spec sheet. And the 60-watt-hour battery isn't going to last long if you're actually using it to play games unplugged, either.
But the trade-off is tons of connection options. On the left you get USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 and a headphone jack, on the right is a standard USB-A port, and around the back you h

Right now, Ring's latest Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam is on sale for $50 at Amazon, which is the best price we've seen for it so far. This is the latest in Ring's line of indoor security cameras, introduced earlier this year, and it makes some improvements upon previous models.
The most notable feature is, of course, the 360-degree panning and tilting that lets you angle the camera all around to see any spot of the room it's in. Using Ring's app, you can adjust the angle however you want, wherever you want, whenever you want. The app also makes it easy to see what your camera sees via Live View.
The Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam also has two-way talk capabilities, meaning you can chat with your kids when you check in on them or tell off your pets when they're acting out.
It's super easy to install, too. You just need to place it on a shelf or desk, plug it into an outlet, and go through the steps to connect it to your home Wi-Fi network. When you need privacy, you can use the physical Privacy Cover to block the lens until you need it again.
If you don't have an indoor security camera but have been thinking of getting one, this is your chance. Grab a Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam for $50 at Amazon while this deal lasts!

Xbox is releasing new content this week. This Thursday, September 26, you can catch the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2024 Broadcast, which will feature announcements from Xbox Game Studios, Activision, Blizzard Entertainment and Bethesda. The broadcast will also feature new games from Xbox's third-party retailers — primarily those based in Asia. Last year's show included a list of new titles coming to Game Pass and first looks at a few games.
The Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2024 Broadcast will be available to watch on Tokyo Game Show's YouTube channel in Japanese, English and a range of other languages. It will also offer audio descriptions in both languages and Japanese and American Sign Language. You might have to wake up pretty early for it, though, as the broadcast airs at 7PM JST, which is 6AM ET or 3AM PT. Anyone based in the UK can catch it at a more reasonable 11AM.
