The Yoga Slim 7X is a slim 14-inch machine with a 2K 16:10 OLED touchscreen, Snapdragon’s high-end X2 Elite processor with 12 cores, plus 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD. The specs are about the best you can get these days for $1,000, as worthwhile laptop deals are in short supply during RAMageddon.Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x$1000$165039% off$1000$1000 at Best BuyThe Yoga Slim 7X seems like a great alternative to spending more (and getting less) with Microsoft’s latest Surface Laptop. In fact, you’d spend $1,549 on a similar model and still get half the storage that’s in this particular Yoga Slim 7X configuration. Its Arm-based processor can run most Windows apps very well, and yields superior battery life compared to laptops with x86 processors.The laptop includes three USB-C ports, and a hardware switch for disabling the webcam. It supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3. It seems like a great machine for work, watching movies, or playing some games that aren’t too graphically intensive.More great Verge-approved dealsThe PlayStation 5 version of Starfield hasn’t been available for as long as the Xbox and PC version, so it’s been a little slower to see major discounts. However, it recently hit $29.99 (originally $49.99) at Amazon and Best Buy, making now a good time to pick up the RPG. While Starfield didn’t have nearly as large of a cultural impact as Bethesda’s other first-person RPGs, it’s still worth playing if you love space, guns, and quests. It’s probably the studio’s most polished game yet. Buyers will be able to download the Free Lanes update that hit alongside its PS5 debut in April, and there are multiple paid expansions available if you want more. Read our review.As mentioned in a previous deal roundup, DoorDash is offering DashPass members a $25 DoorDash digital gift card when they spend $50 or more on a game (non DashPass members get $10). Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave just came out, and that’s a great game to use this promotion for if you have a Switch 2 and enjoy turn-based tactics gameplay. The digital title costs $69.99. Those who have had success with this deal note on Slickdeals that the gift card should arrive within a few days of making your purchase. Read our review of the game.The Baseus VD1 Pro dash cam recently dropped in price by $20, selling for $99.99 at Amazon. There are so many dash cams out there, but this one’s unique in a few ways. It includes both a 4K front- and 1080p rear-facing camera to record multiple angles, and the front camera includes a battery that can be recharged via its built-in solar panel to keep it going even when your car is off. It captures continuous footage while your car is giving it power, though it can detect incidents for up to 14 days with its built-in battery while your car is parked. A long USB-C cable connects the two cameras, so you’ll need to get clever with how you hide it in your trim.

Lenovo’s Yoga Slim 7X is presented as a highly competitive option in the market for laptops priced under one thousand dollars. This machine features an OLED screen, a high-performance Snapdragon X2 Elite CPU with twelve cores, 16 gigabytes of DDR5 RAM, and a one terabyte solid state drive. The article suggests these specifications represent some of the best available for this price point, especially during periods like RAMageddon when worthwhile laptop deals are scarce. Compared to alternatives, such as certain Microsoft Surface models, the Yoga Slim 7X offers superior value, providing more storage capacity for a lower cost. Furthermore, the laptop utilizes an Arm-based processor, which results in better battery life when running Windows applications compared to those utilizing x86 processors. Additional features of the Yoga Slim 7X include three USB-C ports, a hardware switch to disable the webcam, support for Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.3, positioning it as a suitable device for professional work, media consumption, and moderately intensive gaming.

Beyond hardware deals, the text also touches upon current consumer entertainment and hardware promotions. There are ongoing deals related to games, such as a recent price drop for Starfield, which was available on platforms like Amazon and Best Buy. Additionally, promotional offers are available for users, such as DoorDash DashPass members receiving a digital gift card when making qualifying purchases of games, exemplified by the promotion surrounding Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave. In the realm of dash cameras, a specific product, the Baseus VD1 Pro, has recently seen a price reduction of twenty dollars, selling for ninety-nine dollars and ninety-nine cents at Amazon. This camera is noted for its dual camera setup, including a 4K front-facing camera and a 1080p rear-facing camera, and features a front camera equipped with a battery that can be recharged via a built-in solar panel for extended operation.
