Corsair TC100 Leatherette | 90 - 160 degree recline | Max weight: 120 kg | 2-year warranty |
This is our pick for the best budget gaming chair. It's affordable, even at its regular price, but we'll usually highlight any sort of discount to make it that much better value. And for some reason, [[link]] this chair has dropped, and dropped, and dropped, all the way down to sub-Black Friday prices. Still, the main thing is, it's comfy, solid, and looks smart. And now? Even cheaper.

Asus TUF A16 | RTX 5070 | Ryzen 9 270 | 16-inch | 1200p | 165 Hz | 32 GB DDR5 | 1 TB SSD |
This RTX 5070 machine is the same sort of price you'll find many RTX 4070 laptops at the moment. Sure, it's only got a 1200p screen, but that means the mobile GPU shouldn't struggle making the most of its 165 Hz refresh rate panel, particularly when Multi Frame Generation is thrown into the mix. It's also got 32 GB of RAM, which makes a real change from the many, many 16 GB laptops we were finding up until recently. A very tidy gaming laptop for the cash, and one I'm eyeing with my personal funds.

Asus ROG Strix G16 | RTX 5070 Ti | AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX | 16-inch | 1200p | 165 Hz | 16 GB RAM | 1 TB SSD |
With a 140 W RTX 5070 Ti and an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX at its heart, this 16-inch lappy is a pretty powerful one for the price. It even manages to come in cheaper than some RTX 5070 choices out there—with a lot more RGB flair, if that's your sort of thing. The refresh rate of 165 Hz is solid, and the 16 GB of RAM is... well, it's just okay. However, it's easily upgradable up to 64 GB, and the 1200p screen means the GPU will be given free rein to munch through your games.

HP Omen Max 16 | RTX 5080 | Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX | 16-inch | 1200p | 165 Hz | 32 GB RAM | 1 TB SSD |
I'd normally dismiss any RTX 5080 laptop as not being worth the huge premium over the 5070 Ti. But this one is actually cheaper and that makes it a conspicuous deal and far cheaper than any other RTX 5080 laptop around. And it's from HP, not some random brand you've never heard of. Just note you'll need to use the "LEVELUP20" code and configure the 255HX Intel CPU, the RTX 5080 and the non-4x4 1TB SSD to hit that price. Good luck.

Skytech Legacy | Ryzen 9 9900X3D | RTX 5090 | 64 GB DDR5-6000 | 4 TB SSD |
Yes, this is still a ridiculously expensive gaming PC, but as they say: Go big or go home, right? From what I've seen, most decent RTX 5090 gaming PCs are going for $5,000+ right now, and those that are lower than this one seem to cheap out on one component or another. But then you get this absolute beast, with a 12-core X3D CPU, 64 GB of fast DDR5 RAM, and 4 TB of storage. If I'm spending the big bucks on an RTX 5090 build, I am indeed going big on something like this with a whopping $1,600 discount.
