Camping with the whole family sure is a lot of fun, but it can quickly turn into a nightmare if you’re not geared up with the right tent. You wouldn’t want to get cramped in a tent that is too small or get soaked while sleeping as water seeps through everywhere, would you? An excellent option is the Big Agnes Flying Diamond 8 Tent, and it’s currently discounted on REI. With this deal, you’ll only be paying $640 instead of its usual $800 price tag.

The Flying Diamond 8 is highly recommended as a family camping tent. It’s spacious, easy to set up, able to withstand a wide range of weather conditions, and equipped with plenty of storage options, making it an excellent choice even for serious campers.

Crafted from durable yet lightweight materials, this tent is easy to carry and transport. The webbing and buckles are color-coded which eliminates the guesswork and confusion about which part goes where, meaning less time for assembly and more time exploring the outdoors. The tent also has a two-door design which makes it convenient for more than one person to enter and exit the tent without disturbing others. Both doors have closure options for ventilation (mesh only) and full weather protection (polyester layer).

This tent offers plenty of space for the family to stretch out and relax. There is an additional fabric wall included if you want to create a two-room layout: One side can accommodate six sleeping bags and two on the other. And with two vestibules, 16 built-in mesh pockets, and mounted loft loops, you can store your equipment, gear, clothing, and other belongings within easy reach.

An all-season camping tent, you can count on the Flying Diamond 8 to shelter you from a variety of climates. The body, fly, and floor are all made from breathable polyester and polyester mesh and coated with polyurethane to ensure a waterproof yet lightweight finish. All seams are also sealed with waterproof, solvent-free polyurethane tape for extra security in wet conditions.

Take your family to an exciting outdoor adventure with the Big Agnes Flying Diamond 8 Tent. You can get the wine/tan variant on REI at a discounted price of $640.

TCL’s version of the The Frame TV just got a $700 price cut

TCL NXTFrame A3000W.

If Samsung's The Frame caught your attention while browsing QLED TV deals but it's still too expensive, here's a cheaper alternative -- the TCL NXTFRAME 4K QLED TV. If you're interested, you can get its 85-inch model with a huge $700 discount, which drops its price from $3,500 to $2,800. It's still not what you'd call an affordable TV, but at this size and with its features, it's an investment that you won't regret. You shouldn't waste time thinking about it though, as there's no telling how long you have before the offer expires.

Why you should buy the 85-inch TCL NXTFRAME 4K QLED TV
Samsung's The Frame TV turned heads with its design that allows it to double as an art piece in the home, and now there's a cheaper alternative with the TCL NXTFRAME 4K QLED TV. It's only 1.2 inches deep and comes with an ultra-thin wall mount that will hang it flush to your wall. The TV also features an ultra-matte, anti-glare screen, and you can swap between the included off-white bezels and light wood frames. All of this is to support its ability to display artwork using its curated Art Library, so when it's not in use, it can still beautify your living room or bedroom.

This budget gaming laptop from Asus just got a $200 price cut

A person using the Asus TUF F15 gaming laptop.

If you're looking for a solid budget gaming laptop, Asus' TUF lineup is specifically made with that purpose in mind. While you won't get the same performance as the best laptops out there, the base $1,199 price tag of this Asus TUF F15 gets you a surprising amount of specs compared to similar laptops. Luckily, Walmart is offering a pretty steep discount that will let you grab the TUF F15 for just $999, which is a solid $200 off, so it's pretty much a steal at that price point.

Why you should buy the ASUS TUF F15
The beating heart of any gaming laptop is the GPU, and in this configuration, you get an RTX 4060, which is paired with a 15.6-inch FHD 144Hz panel for you to game on. That's a relatively solid combination, and the RTX 4060 should be able to handle most modern games quite easily on FHD, although hitting 144Hz may require a couple of graphical compromises. Interestingly, Asus updated its budget TUF laptop range with a MUX switch, which essentially lets you switch between the integrated GPU that's on the CPU or the dedicated GPU. By doing that, you can save a ton of battery by using the integrated GPU for day-to-day tasks and only use the dedicated GPU for gaming to get better performance.
