Save on laptops, monitors, and more

Let’s cut right to the chase, here: Amazon is having a gigantic sale on all sorts of PC gaming gear, but only ’til midnight tonight (Feb. 25). 

If you act fast, you can score savings of up to 31% on devices and accessories from brands like HP, Acer, Asus, and HyperX. Whether you desperately need a new laptop, want to upgrade your crappy old monitor, or feel like dabbling in streaming, this is one of those can’t-miss, shouldn’t-miss, seriously-don’t-sleep-on-this-or-else sort of promotions that we rarely see outside of the holiday season. (And if you’re not freaking out right now… well, get with the program, my dude.) 

Here’s a brief overview of some of the sale’s best deals:

Billed as “the world’s first dual-screen gaming laptop,” the HP OMEN X 2S has a six-inch 4K touchscreen display mounted above its keyboard in addition to its 15.6-inch 4K WLED-backlit display — that way, you can use apps like Twitch, Discord, and Spotify without interrupting your gameplay. 

The OMEN X 2S configuration featured in Amazon’s sale boasts a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card; Max-Q architecture that keeps the machine cool and quiet; a super-speedy Hexa-Core 9th Generation Intel Core i7-9750H Processor; 16GB of upgradable RAM; and 1TB of storage space. It typically sells for $2,699.99, but you can order one today only for just $1,919.20 — a savings of just over $780. Get it here.

Take 31% off two immersive Asus gaming monitors

If your laptop’s 13- to 15-inch screen leaves you feeling sort of cramped, or if the TV you play on suffers from a bad case of screen burn, you’re the perfect candidate for a gaming monitor. Amazon’s sale includes two Asus models that are both 31% off:

• The Asus VG248QG is a 24-inch, G-SYNC-compatible Full HD monitor with a speedy 165Hz (overclockable) refresh rate and a 0.5ms response time.

Get it here for just $189.99, or $84 off its suggested retail price of $273.99.

• The Asus VG275Q is a 27-inch Full HD monitor with built-in stereo speakers and dual HDMI ports. It offers a 75Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time and includes AMD FreeSync technology that eliminates choppy frame rates. You can get it here for only $179, down $80 from its $259 MSRP.
