In our Monster Hunter Wilds review, Tom Marks writes that “Monster Hunter Wilds continues to smooth off the rougher corners of the series in smart ways, making for some extremely fun fights but also lacking any real challenge.” If you’ve enjoyed the Monster Hunter franchise thus far, you know you’ll get this game anyway.

The only other prebuilt you can get at Dell with an RTX 5080 GPU costs over $4,000. Good luck trying to find a standalone GPU to build out your own DIY PC; you’ll probably spend as much for the GPU as you would this entire system.

You star as a brave little orange tabby cat trying to escape a cyberpunk-themed underworld filled with robotic denizens. In our Stray review, Tom Marks wrote that “Stray is a delightful adventure in a dark but endearingly hopeful cyberpunk world, and that’s thanks in no small part to the fact that you are playing as an adorable cat the whole time. Its mix of simple platforming and puzzles with item-hunting quests is balanced very well across the roughly five-hour story… Whether I was scratching at a carpet or curling up into a ball and taking a catnap, Stray does a great job of setting itself apart in a way that feels like more than just a novelty.”

Samsung’s newest SSD – the Samsung 990 Evo Plus 2TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe solid state drive – is on sale today for $129.99, which is actually lower than what I saw during Black Friday. This is an excellent drive for both your gaming PC and your PlayStation 5 console, with speeds of up to 7,250 read and 6,300MB/s write. This is a much faster drive than the 990 Evo non-Pro but not quite as fast as the 990 Pro. The main difference between this drive and the more expensive 990 Pro is that this is a DRAM-less drive. Because it is a single-sided SSD, it is power efficient and doesn’t generate much heat, so you probably don’t need to stick a heatsink on it, although you certainly could for peace of mind.

Apple iPad 10.9″ 10th Gen for $279Amazon dropped the price of the latest model 10th gen Apple iPad to $279 shipped. For most people, the iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best model to get because it offers nearly all the benefits of the iOS operating system and snappy performance at an affordable price. This model has significant improvements over its predecessor. For starters, it boasts a larger 10.9″ screen without adding to the overall dimensions thanks to a slimmer bezel. It also has a faster A14 Bionic chip, which is a 20% increase in CPU performance and a 10% increase in GPU performance over the A13. It’s now compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard so you can convert it into a mini laptop for better workflow (making it one of the best iPads for students). Other practical upgrades include USB Type-C charging, a better camera, and Wi-Fi 6.
$39.99 Nintendo Switch Video Games at Woot!Woot! has also dropped several must-have Nintendo Switch video games from $59.99 to $39.99, a savings of 33%.

The Apple Watch Series 10 is the newest generation mainstream model. Improvements over the Apple Watch Series 9 include a bigger OLED Retina display, a new S10 processor (that isn’t faster but it’s thinner, which allows the watch itself to have a slimmer profile), a slightly larger base model size (42mm vs. 41mm), and some admittedly trivial features like a water depth gauge.
WD SN5000 4TB SSD for $199.99
WD SN5000 4TB PCIe Gen 4×4 M.2 SSD

Amazon has dropped the price of the WD SN5000 4TB PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 solid state drive (SSD) to only $199.99 shipped.
