Wavlink's Thunderbolt 5 docking station falls to under $200 for Prime Day

xaUh4k7R8JrZZYzqe4Wyxg.jpg

If you have a Thunderbolt 5 Windows PC or Mac, investing in a good docking station is critical to supporting a large variety of accessories and monitors. This is especially true for ultrabooks, which often have only two external ports that must be shared between charging and connectivity. With this in mind, Wavlink's WL-UTD58 Thunderbolt 5 docking station is a perfect solution for adding I/O ports and is on sale for $195 (versus a list price of $299.99).

First of all, it is pretty well stacked with ports:

Front

  • 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen 2
  • 1x Thunderbolt 5 upstream (80 Gbps bi-directional)
  • 1x Thunderbolt 5 downstream (80 Gbps bi-directional)
  • 1x audio combo jack
  • 1x microSD UHS-II slot
  • 1x SD UHS-II slot

Back

  • 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen 2
  • 2x Thunderbolt 5 downstream (80 Gbps bi-directional)
  • 1x 2.5 GbE (RJ45) port

WWu5rFtR7EfpthntmUmwqW.jpg

The Wavlink WL-UTD58 is a Thunderbolt 5 docking station that provides three downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports, SD and microSD slots, four USB-A ports, and a 2.5 GbE port.View Deal

I tested the WL-UTD58-M version of this dock, which is identical, save for the inclusion of an internal M.2 slot for a PCIe 4.0 SSD. It offers solid performance, has good build quality, and has easily accessible ports. My only gripe is that the Thunderbolt 5 port for connecting to the host machine is on the front of the unit instead of the back, but that's a relatively minor issue. - Brandon Hill

Get a 5070 laptop for just $1,249

If you're in the market for a gaming laptop, the Asus V16 gets you an RTX 5070 for just $1,249. That's one of the better laptops we've seen over this week, and this discount is new for the early hours of Thursday, the lowest price we've ever seen on this model.

UGdpMKF2weNjhsd7fURvJT.jpg

Get an RTX 5070 laptop with a 144Hz display, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. View Deal

Gaming laptops are often very big and clunky, and while this isn't as light as a MacBook Air, it is definitely one of the lower-profile models on the market, making it a bit more portable.

The 10-core Intel CPU has four efficiency cores and six performance cores, with max boost clocks of up to 5.2 GHz. There's 8GB of VRAM in the RTX 5070, which should be plenty for good frames at the 1920 x 1200 resolution. While this is an LED display, rather than OLED, you're still getting a good 144Hz refresh rate. Couple that with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, and this is a pretty excellent gaming laptop. - Stephen Warwick

UK monitor madness

Just scouring some UK deals, and I've come across this frankly ridiculous monitor deal. You can get a 27-inch Lenovo gaming monitor with 2560 x 1440p resolution and a 200Hz refresh rate for just 99, fully 50% off the usual price.

Get a 200Hz QHD monitor for just 99, which includes two HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort 1.2, and an anti-glare screen. View Deal

This would be a fantastic monitor to pair with a gaming PC, or for use with an Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5, and at just 99, it's one of the best-value monitors in the UK right now. - Stephen Warwick

It's Grand Theft Auto VI preorder day, and here are all the links to get the Standard or Ultimate editions

Grand Theft Auto VI is by far the most highly anticipated new game release of 2026, and perhaps, ever. Preorders opened this morning at midnight ET, but the game won't actually be available to play until November 19, 2026.

If you're feeling eager to hand money to Rockstar and Take Two Interactive early, the Standard Edition is available for $79.99. It includes the base game, the Vintage Vice City Pack with retro-themed cosmetics, and the '55 Vapid Stanier vehicle. Stepping up to the Ultimate Edition for $99.99 gets you extra side missions and activities, more vehicles, guns, and a closet full of outfits and cosmetic flourishes for the two protagonists: Jason and Lucia.

AmazonWalmartBest BuyTargetMicrosoft StorePlayStation StoreAt under 9 cents per gigabyte, this 4TB SanDisk Desk Drive SSD is about as good as it gets these days

Storage prices have skyrocketed in the past several months, thanks to AI-driven demand. But at $349 for 4TB, this SanDisk Creator Series Desk Drive deal at B&H gives us a taste of what it was like in the before times.

At under 9 cents per gigabyte, it's one of the best prices we've seen in recent months for a solid-state drive. Granted, it's an external drive that requires its own power adapter, but if you need desktop storage that's faster than a hard drive, it'll get the job done. Plus, it's blue, unlike the previous-gen version, which we tested in 2024.

pGuW9RbDzZxA4Rhyp3DyrW.jpg

SanDisk advertises this drive as "up to 4x faster than a desktop HDD," and it's rated at up to 1,000 MBps, so it's no speed demon. It also needs its own power plug, but that means you can connect to your device via USB-C or USB-A. Both cables are included, but generally, a USB-C 10 Gbps connection will deliver faster speeds than most USB-A ports.View Deal

SanDisk's Desk Drive line is a little unique in that it's meant for permanent, desk-bound use, because it needs both a USB connection for data and a barrel connector for power. That makes it good for backup and local storage, but it's not the typical tiny external SSD you can toss in a bag with one cable and take wherever you need it. Think of this as the solid-state equivalent of a desktop external hard drive.

It is much smaller than a 3.5-inch drive, but it's not very portable. When we tested the previous version of this drive, we saw real-world read speeds under 800 MBps, and writes under 550 MBps. That's not bad, but not near the fastest 10 Gbps drives we've tested. Hopefully, SanDisk has improved performance for this updated generation, but for backup and most mainstream use, this drive should be fine, and is much faster than an external hard drive. And since it's solid-state storage, it should be hold up much better to the occasional bump or drop. --Matt Safford

(Image credit: Sandisk)One of the best budget gaming keyboards we've tested hits its lowest-ever Amazon price of just $43 - RK R65 packs lubed switches, metallic knob, and gasket mount for excellent sound and feel

Royal Kludge's RK R65 is one of our picks for best budget mechanical keyboards, thanks to a and-out feature set for the price, plus excellent sound and feel. It normally sells for between $50 and $60, but today at Amazon, you can pick up this compact 60% clacker for just $42.74.

7qjtECHeDawKL892YvTHPc.jpg

The RK R65 is an excellent budget 60% wired keybaord, with RGB, swappable factory-lubed linear switches, a gasket mount and silicone pads, QMK/VIA support for customizing keys, and a metal volume knob. This is by far one of the nicest-sounding and nicest-looking keyboards I've used in this price range.View Deal

The R65's feature set reads like something priced closer to $100. The keyboard boasts RGB backlighting, factory-lubed switches (RK Cream in this variant), a gasket mount, two silicone pads to absorb stound, and (somewhat) metal volume knob. The result is the best-sounding budget keyboard I've ever used - so much so that I've been using it as my daily driver in the office for over a year, despite the lack of a Function row and other handy keys.

The 60% layout is best-suited to gaming, and it works quite well for that. But with its dedicated arrow keys, I get by using it for productivity. And if you don't like the bronze-and-brown color scheme of this model, there are four other color and switch options that are currently priced between $45 . -- Matt Safford

LG's massive 45-inch 45GX950A-B dual-mode OLED gaming monitor gets a $600 discount

Ultra-wide monitors are a great productivity enhancer, giving you more horizontal workspace. That's especially true of the LG Ultragear 45GX950A-B, a 45-inch gaming monitor currently priced at $1,337.90, down from a high of $1,999.99.

DgnyWzFeBuNmiZfHXd875E.jpg

The LG Ultragear 45GX950A-B is a 45-inch OLED monitor with a 5120 x 2160 resolution, which operates at 165 Hz natively, or 330 Hz at WFHD.View Deal

The 45GX950A-B features a 21:9 aspect ratio, 5,120 x 2,160 resolution, and, most importantly, a WOLED panel. Not only do you get the brilliant colors inherent to OLEDs, but the underlying WOLED panel technology also skews toward higher brightness (1,300-nit peak in this case).

Regarding performance, the 45GX950A-B can operate at up to 165 Hz at its native resolution, but jumps to 330 Hz at WFHD (2560 x 1080). It offers a 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio and 98.5 percent DCI-P3 coverage, while being DisplayHDR True Black 400-certified. On the connectivity front, the monitor offers two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 2.1 port, and a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode support. - Brandon Hill

Apple's 13.6-inch M5 MacBook Air gets a huge $350 discount - 16GB/1TB drops to $949.99

Although a lot of the deals during Prime Day have been PC-centric, Amazon is also showing some love to people of the Apple persuasion. The MacBook Air is Apple's perennial bestseller, and the current-generation 13.6-inch model with the M5 chip, 16GB of memory, and a 1TB SSD is now priced at $949.99, which is a steep 27% discount from its $1,299.99 MSRP.

In this case, the discount only applies to the Starlight" colorway, which is a mix of silver and light gold. The 13.6-inch IPS display carries a 2560 x 1665 resolution, while a 12MP Center Stage camera is nestled in a notch at the top of the display. The laptop only features two Thunderbolt 4 ports for connectivity, but you at least get a dedicated MagSafe 3 port for charging (so you don't have to waste" one of the Thunderbolt 4 ports).

The 2.7-pound laptop comes with a 53.8 WHr battery, which lasted over 15 hours in our endurance testing. The MacBook Air isn't the fastest laptop on the market, and it doesn't offer a fancy OLED display, but at this price, it is absolutely one of the best values. - Brandon Hill

This multi-device wireless gaming headset is $100 off for Prime Day

If you're looking for a headset that can connect to your PC, your PlayStation, and your Xbox at the same time, look no further than the Astro A50 X Lightspeed. This premium wireless gaming headset is lightweight and versatile, though it requires its base station to work - and it's currently on sale for $299.98 at Logitech - that's $100 off its regular retail price of $399.99 (yeah, it's a pretty expensive headset to begin with).

This wireless over-ear gaming headset is designed to connect to up to three devices at once (plus Bluetooth). It comes with a powered base station that acts as a charging dock and a transmitter. View Deal

The Astro A50 X Lightspeed is a wireless over-ear gaming headset that comes with a powered base station that acts as both a wireless charging dock and a transmitter. The base station can connect to your PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox at the same time, though it does need to connect to each device via cable. Then, you can switch between three connections - four, if you also connect to Bluetooth - with the press of a button. One caveat, though - all connections use the base station, including the Bluetooth connection. So you won't be able to take this headset on the road (or, well, even too far from your PC) with you.

The A50 X features Logitech's 40mm Pro-G Graphene dynamic drivers, which have a frequency response range of 20 - 20,000 Hz. The headset has a non-detachable omnidirectional boom mic and a lightweight plastic frame with felt-covered padded earcups. It's a fairly comfortable headset with a slightly bass-heavy sound profile that can be tweaked using Logitech G Hub. You can read my full review of the Astro A50 X here. - Sarah

My favorite faux-leather desk mat is just $11

My favorite faux-leather desk mat is yet again on sale for just $11.30 at Amazon - 19% off its normal retail price of 13.99. Assuming you're not looking for a performance-oriented gaming mouse pad, this desk mat is a great option for protecting your desk and making it look great.

It comes in a variety of colors (I personally like the navy blue, but it also comes in a variety of dark and light colors, all of which are on sale) and sizes. I've been using the dark blue 31.5 x 15.7-inch desk pad as my primary backdrop for photos (you probably recognize it), but I also have it in light blue, light grey, and lavender. It has a soft, matte faux leather top and a suede-like non-slip backing with unfinished edges. It's super easy to clean and also comes with a one-year warranty. And it's only $11, so, why not? - Sarah

Netgear Nighthawk RS90 delivers value-priced dual-band Wi-Fi 7 coverage for under $90

The Nighthawk RS90 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 router, meaning it supports the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless bands but lacks the higher-performing (at shorter ranges) 6 GHz radio. However, that omission means that dual-band Wi-Fi 7 routers can be much cheaper. In this instance, the RS90 is $87.39, down from $129.

The RS90 includes four GbE ports, one 2.5 GbE WAN port, and supports up to 2,000 square feet. It features a tall, black, monolith-like design and can support up to 50 devices simultaneously.

For ease of setup, the RS90 can be configured quickly using the Netgear Nighthawk smartphone app, or, if you prefer, via the desktop-based webGUI. The RS90 also comes with a 30-day trial of Netgear Armor, which provides network intrusion protection and malware detection for your connected devices. - Brandon Hill
