Intel Core i5-12600KF is only $230 for Prime Day (opens in new tab)!

The Intel Core i9-12900K may be the big daddy of Intel’s Alder Lake processors, but it’s the Core i5 range that tick all the right boxes for performance, efficiency, and value. The Intel Core i5-12600K is one of our favorite CPUs of this 12th Gen family and the Core i5-1200KF is just as good, aside from not having an integrated GPU.

It’s on sale right now for Amazon Prime Day, allowing you to save upwards of $100 on a 10-core processor. This thing is ideal for gaming, even up to 4K with the best graphics card you can afford. And because you’ll need a GPU to use with the Core i5-12600KF, be sure to check out our best GPU Prime Day deals (opens in new tab) for some helpful pointers on where to look.

The Galaxy Tab A8 is down to $159 (from $229) for Prime Day!

As a fan of Xbox Cloud Gaming, I find the small screens on a typical smartphone to be prohibitive in lots of games on Xbox Game Pass, owing to the fact they’re designed for larger displays like TVs. Unreadable text, tiny UI elements, and in-game details are hidden behind a tiny screen can make some games barely playable. As noted earlier below, I prefer larger screens for cloud gaming, but what if you want something more laptop-sized?

If you want something larger than the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite I posted earlier, the Galaxy Tab A8 is a 2019 edition tablet, that clocks in at 10.4 inches. It’s not the most powerful tablet in the world, but it’s more than adequate for running lighter games, ebook readers like Kindle, streaming apps like Netflix, or indeed, Xbox Cloud Gaming, with its 1200p resolution screen. It also beats the Tab A7 and Tab A on battery life, with a beefy 7040 mAh that should compliment cloud gaming quite nicely. 

Down to $159, this tablet easily becomes one of the best tablets for Xbox Cloud Gaming while we wait (possibly in vain) for Microsoft to make its very own Xbox handheld. 

Samsung Galaxy Tab A

The best small tablet for Xbox Cloud Gaming is just $115 right now (28% off)

Xbox cloud gaming is great, but games designed for TV screens are a bit of a slog on a small device like your typical smartphone. While some games work well, others have user interfaces designed for larger displays, making them hard to understand or read on smaller screens. As such, I typically opt for larger screens to get my Xbox cloud gaming on, and the Galaxy Tab A7 from Samsung is a great option for it. 

While this tablet isn’t particularly fast or powerful, it is USB-C and can run the Xbox Game Pass app flawlessly, which is essentially what you want for cloud streaming games. It’s also a decent option for ebooks and streaming video at 8.7″ inch, making it a “mini” tablet, but still bigger than most smartphones. Just don’t expect to be doing anything particularly strenuous on this lower-end device. 

For Amazon Prime Day, it sheds almost a third of its typical price from $159 down to just $115. 

B And O Beoplay Portal Review

The premium-tier B&O BeoPlay Portal drops $100 for Amazon Prime Day!

The B&O BeoPlay Portal is the world’s most expensive Xbox headset, typically costing as much as an Xbox Series X itself. For Amazon Prime Day, it’s down from $500 to $400, netting you a pretty tidy saving on what is ultimately the most premium Xbox headset on the market. What makes it so expensive? Technologies like ANC active noise canceling eliminate sound from the outside, sitting alongside aptX sound codecs and Bluetooth 5.1 for superior mobile and laptop connectivity. 

It also sports premium materials, incredible lightweight at 256 grams, and direct-to-Xbox wirelessness for seamless indoor and outdoor use. The B&O BeoPlay Portal is without a doubt one of the most expensive Xbox accessories on the market, if not the most expensive Xbox accessory, but it’s designed specifically to sit inside that premium lifestyle headphone category, as opposed to you typical gaming headset. 

LG C1 OLED

That’s the perfect size for a game room, and you seriously won’t find a better set for the price.
