Get your laptop ready to go on-the-go for gaming. We recommend picking up the SteelSeries Aerox 5 or 9 wireless mice. Depending on if you want MMO-style or normal mouse, the Aerox 9 or 5 might fit the bill better. But, either way, these mice feature dual-mode wireless connectivity so at home you can pair to the included USB-C 2.4GHz dongle and then use Bluetooth on-the-go with the simple flip of a switch. Pricing comes in at $80 for the Aerox 5 or $110 for the Aerox 9, both of which cost far less than you’re saving above. Learn more about these mice in our hands-on review.
For gaming at home, consider the significantly lower cost HP Pavilion desktop that’s on sale right now. With an i5 and RTX 3060, it’s nowhere near as powerful as today’s lead deal. However, at $700, it costs $2,200 less than the Alienware laptop above and still delivers a solid 1080p gaming experience for the price.
