The 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 deals
- The PlayStation 5 version ofStarfieldhasn’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 Starfielddidn’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.

- 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. Read more about the camera’s features here.
