Best Laptop 2022: HP Envy x360 13 Photography by Monica Chin / The Verge

Happy Friday, everyone. The deals this week range from laptops to graphics cards. We have a great sale on the HP Envy x360 13-inch convertible laptop that has a gorgeous OLED screen. Normally this configuration costs $1,0499.99, but it has been discounted to $699.99 at Best Buy. This is the lowest price we have ever seen for this model.

The flexible 2-in-1 laptop has an 11th Generation Intel Core i7 processor, 8 gigabytes of RAM, and 512 gigabytes of built-in storage. This isn't the most powerful laptop out there, but it's more than enough juice for most apps. If you need a versatile, mobile machine that's particularly great for watching movies and TV shows, it's difficult to beat. The Envy x360 has a number of ports to connect it to an external monitor or a fast solid state drive. It has a microSD card slot that can be used for additional data transfers, but it can also provide the laptop with additional storage if you need it.

This isn't something we typically feature on a deals page due to the fact that they quickly go in and out of stock, but we thought this deal on the Gigabyte Radeon RX6600 was worth pointing out. This card is readily available and you can purchase it for less than its original price. Amazon has a graphics card for a low price.

The base clock speed of the Gigabyte model is 2,044 MHz. While they won't be able to handle 4K rendering, they're perfectly suited for playing games at 1440p with compromises or for playing titles at1080p with faster frame rates. If you have room in your case, the triple fan design can provide a little more headroom for overclocking.

The base clock speed of the Gigabyte model is 2044Mhz, which is the same as the base clock speed of the RX 6600.

If you're looking to fill out your collection and don't mind physical games taking up shelf space, you can get one free sale on all pre-owned games. The promotion says on the tin that you can get a free game when you purchase two others of equal or greater value. You can always grab games that you've been playing for a while, but you can also get new titles here. Some of the highlights available here include Elden Ring. Most of these titles are available for less than their original price.

Elden Ring is the latest title from FromSoftware and takes the Dark Souls formula to a vast open world.

The open-world racing game is developed by Playground Games. It's an exclusive title, and can be played on both the Series X and S consoles. The new movie is set in Mexico and features over 500 cars at launch.

The latest game in the sci-fi first-person shooter franchise has a large open-world campaign and a free-to-play mode.

The JBL Bar 5.1 soundbar has been discounted to its lowest price yet. Normally this 40-inch soundbar costs $599.99, but it is currently on sale for just $369.99. The soundbar also comes with a wireless sub. The soundbar has a single input and output port, as well as an optical andusb connection. Apple users should be aware that it only supports the original AirPlay, not the new one.

The 40-inch JBL soundbar has a dedicated wireless sub and is capable of virtual 5.1 surround sound.

You can find the lowest price ever on the LG SNC75 soundbar, which is half off its original price. There are three forward-firing speakers and a pair that fire upwards in this 41-inch soundbar. The SNC75 supports 4K passthrough and has hookups for HDMI, optical audio, and USB inputs. A variety of devices can be linked with the soundbar.
