The case against spending more
Microsoft's comparable Surface Laptop costs $1,549 and ships with 512GB of storage, half the capacity in this Yoga Slim 7X build. That spread frames the value case. The Arm-based Snapdragon processor can run most Windows applications well and produces better battery life than x86 alternatives. The laptop connects through three USB-C ports, supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3, and includes a hardware switch that physically disables the webcam. It suits professional work, video, and games that stay within moderate graphics demands.
Other deals active today
Bethesda's Starfield on PlayStation 5 is $29.99 at Amazon and Best Buy, down from $49.99. Because the PS5 version arrived later than the Xbox and PC releases, it has been slower to reach significant discounts. Buyers can download the Free Lanes update that launched alongside the PS5 version in April, and multiple paid expansions are available separately.
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, a turn-based tactics title for Nintendo Switch 2, is out at $69.99. DashPass members who spend $50 or more on a game receive a $25 DoorDash digital gift card; non-members get $10. Reports on Slickdeals indicate the card arrives within a few days of purchase.
The Baseus VD1 Pro dash cam fell $20 to $99.99 at Amazon. It pairs a 4K front-facing camera with a 1080p rear unit; the front camera carries a battery that recharges through a built-in solar panel. The device records continuously while the car provides power and can detect incidents for up to 14 days on battery while parked. A long USB-C cable links the two cameras, and routing it through the car's interior trim takes planning.
The Best Buy sale on the Yoga Slim 7X closes at the end of today.
