For one, I\u2019ve always loved the typing experience of other Lenovo gaming laptops that I\u2019ve used (impressively, this one stocks a full keyboard with a numpad). I also like that, despite being an entry-level machine, it has 16GB of speedy 4,800MHz DDR5 RAM, and you can go up to 32GB by opening up the chassis. Same goes for the SSD \u2014 it comes with a somewhat paltry 512GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, but there are two slots, and each tops out at 1TB.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div id=\"a-few-other-verge-approved-deals-for-you\" class=\"_1m1ib701 _1m1ib700 duet--article--standard-heading _1xwtict1\">\n<h2 class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup\">A few other <em>Verge<\/em>-approved deals for you<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1o279nj1 _1o279nj0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<ul class=\"duet--article--unordered-list _1ymtmqpi _11h7yix0 _1xwtict1\">\n<li class=\"_11h7yix1\"><span class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup\">PC gamers into <strong><em>Destiny 2<\/em> can get every expansion for the free-to-play game in one of Humble\u2019s bundles<\/strong>.

A fun perk in the $28 tier is a 25 percent off coupon for <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/entertainment\/890333\/marathon-live-service-game-mess\">Marathon<\/a><\/em>, Bungie\u2019s latest game. It\u2019s a punishing extraction first-person shooter for teams up to three players that <em>Destiny <\/em>fans might dig.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"_11h7yix1\"><span class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup\">If you have a Nintendo Switch 2 and are considering getting <em>Resident Evil Requiem<\/em>, Capcom\u2019s latest entry in the franchise, here\u2019s a deal to consider. The <em><strong>Resident Evil Generation Pack<\/strong><\/em> costs $89.99 at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0FY8K73R9\/?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"sponsored\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bestbuy.7tiv.net\/c\/482924\/614286\/10014?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fproduct%2Fresident-evil-generation-pack-nintendo-switch-2%2FJ7CXZVPX2T\" rel=\"sponsored\">Best Buy<\/a> and includes <em>Requiem<\/em>, <em>Resident Evil 7<\/em>, and <em>Resident Evil Village<\/em>. Nintendo stopped selling the bundle on its eShop in March, and now it sells those older games digitally for $29.99 and $39.99, respectively \u2014 totaling $140 for all three a la carte. Here\u2019s our review of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/entertainment\/883947\/resident-evil-requiem-review-ps5-xbox-switch-2\"><em>Resident Evil Requiem<\/em><\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"_11h7yix1\"><span class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup\">You can turn one AC outlet into six (with a pair of USB-C and USB-A ports, to boot) with <strong>Anker\u2019s 10-in-1 mountable power strip<\/strong>. It\u2019s down to $15.99 at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0D12JBQ27\/?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"sponsored\">Amazon<\/a>, a small, but nice $4 discount off its usual price. Its leftmost USB-C port tops out at 20W charging, while the other supports up to 15W, which is enough if you want to keep your phone charged while you sleep or in between events. In case its 300-joule maximum isn\u2019t high enough to assure you it\u2019ll protect your priciest, most power-hungry devices, <strong>Belkin\u2019s six-outlet surge protector<\/strong> offers slightly better protection (up to 1,680 joules) and costs $22.99 at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Belkin-Protector-Wall-Mountable-Overvoltage-Protection\/dp\/B0CCYKVVRH?tag=theverge02-20\"
