iBuypower has rolled out a new edition of its Battalion 101 CZ-10 gaming notebook, and along with all the bells and whistles one might expect on a portable system that’s mainly designed to let user frag their friends and enemies, the CZ-10 Premium Edition features something new: accident protection. The Premium edition will be the first notebook in iBuypower’s lineup to insure against damage from accidental spills and tumbles.

“We felt it was time to refresh our mainstream gaming notebook line,” said iBuypower VP Darren Su, in a statement. “We are excited by the features and exceptional coverage we are able to offer with the CZ-10 Premium at a very competitive price.”

The Accidental Damage Protection plan applies to the original buyer of the notebook and can’t be transferred, but covers damage from spills, drops, electrical surges, and fire; coverage includes the system’s CPU, memory, hard drive, keyboard, LCD, and other parts.

The CZ-10 Premium Notebook features a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2 GB of DDR3 RAM (supports up to 4 GB), and a 15.6-inch 1,366 by 768-pixel WXGA display powered by an ATI RAdeon 4650 graphics controller with 512 MB of video RAM. The system also sports a 2 megapixel Webcam, a 3-in-1 card reader,fingerprint scanner, a 6-cell battery, a 500 GB hard drive, and an 8× DVD±RW DVD burner.

Walmart's offer for the iBUYPOWER Y60 gaming PC with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 was among the most popular gaming PC deals a few weeks ago, but if you missed the opportunity to get it with a discount, don't worry because you've got another chance from Best Buy. From the gaming desktop's original price of $2,000, it's down to $1,550 for $450 in savings. You're going to have to be quick with your purchase though, as there are only several hours remaining before the bargain gets taken down, and we're not sure when it will return after that.

Why you should buy the iBUYPOWER Y60 gaming PC
If you want a gaming desktop that will be able to play all of the best PC games without any issues, go for the iBUYPOWER Y60 gaming PC. With the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card working in tandem with the 13th-generation Intel Core i9 processor and 32GB of RAM, this machine can challenge the best gaming PCs in terms of performance. It will also be ready for the upcoming PC games of the next few years, so it will be a while before you need to consider upgrading its components.

For one of the best high-end gaming laptop deals around today, take a look at what Lenovo has to offer. The company is well known for making great gaming laptops and business-focused devices, and that’s exactly what it’s providing today. Right now, you can buy the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 9 gaming laptop for $2,462 instead of $3,220. That works out as a huge discount of $758 on a system that is designed to keep you happy for a long time to come. We were huge fans of this model when we reviewed it last year. Here’s what it has to offer, but bear in mind the deal is likely to end soon, and you won’t want to miss out.

Why you should buy the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 9
Back when we reviewed the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, we were impressed by its superior productivity and creative performance, excellent gaming performance, and display. The only downsides were that it’s kind of thick and heavy and its battery life could be better. That trend remains the case with many Lenovo gaming laptops but it isn’t the end of the world. I have a Lenovo Legion laptop myself. It works well as a desktop replacement but is also easy enough to take around with me too. Crucially, there are key reasons why Lenovo is one of the best gaming laptop brands, which is why I bought one and why we’re featuring this model.

You won’t see iBUYPOWER among our look at the best gaming PCs, but don’t let that put you off. When it comes to core hardware, it’s a great deal. With the iBUYPOWER Y60 gaming desktop, you get a 14th-generation Intel Core i9-14900KF processor teamed up with 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and 2TB of SSD storage. It’s exciting to see so much storage space as too many gaming PCs stick with 1TB at most, even at this price. Alongside that is a great graphics card in the form of an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 with 12GB of dedicated VRAM.
