HP OmniBook 5
$749 (Original price: $1,469)
Though we preferred the 14-inch model, this HP OmniBook 5 is still one of the top budget laptops of 2026 thanks to its staggering battery life — lasting for more than 28 hours in our tests. Under the hood, it’s equipped with an AMD Ryzen AI 7 processor and a respectable 16GB of RAM, which helps support tons of AI features to boost your productivity. Plus, it also has a stunning 2K OLED touchscreen display for serious versatility and a substantial 1TB of storage for all your movies, games and more.
Apple AirPods Max 2
$429 (Original price: $549)
The second-gen AirPods Max are some of the absolute best headphones of 2026, and offer some nice improvements over their predecessor. The new H2 chip gives them an all-around performance boost, including cleaner sound, improved spatial audio and active noise canceling that’s up to “1.5x more effective” according to CNET’s audio expert. They also support quite a few helpful new features, such as Live Translation and conversation awareness, which automatically turns on Transparency mode when you start talking. Just note that only the midnight black variant is on sale for this price, with all other colors available for $20 more.
Razer Basilisk V3 gaming mouse
$35 (Original price: $50)
This wired Razer mouse can help level up your gaming. It has a 26,000 DPI optical sensor for impeccable movement tracking, along with a blazing-fast 0.2 millisecond actuation speed thanks to its second-gen optical mouse switches. Plus, you can customize it to fit your play style with 11 different programmable buttons. It also has a unique wheel that can switch between freewheeling and tactile scrolling, which makes it great for more than just gaming, according to our reviewer.
