GadgetReview Daily Deals: Assassin’s Creed 3 for $48, Samsung 830 SSD for $70

Brand names and popular games is the theme for our top deals today. Why bother with anything other than the well-reviewed Samsung 830 SSD series? Especially when you can get a 128GB for only $70 (only $0.55 per gig). This is a great price if you don’t need the latest and greatest. The Samsung 840 is expected to be released in the near future, having said that, the 830 is still currently one of the fastest consumer SSD on the market.

If you don’t mind refurbished gadgets and wanted a cheap Ultrabook, you should check out the Dell Inspiron 14z on eBay, only $620. You’ll save yourself $280 off going refurb vs. the $900 you’d have to pay at Dell.com. As for video games, you’re probably going to buy Assassin’s Creed 3 anyway, so you might as well justify that purchase more and save $12 with NewEgg’s pre-order discount on the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles. Only $48 bucks for the highly anticipated October 30th release.

Six good laptops worth mentioning today. As mentioned above, the refurbished Dell Inspiron 14z is a good $280 off the $900 you’d pay at Dell Home. If you’re into big giant gaming machines, there’s a good discount on an 18.4-inch Alienware M18x, cheapest ever by $75. As for big screens without gaming orientation, the 17.3-inch Dell with Ivy Bridge Core i5 is at a new low by $70. Finally, two hot Lenovo laptops with discrete graphics worth mentioning: the 15.6-inch 1080p Y580 with GeForce GTX 660M and the 14-inch Y480 with GeForce GT 650M are both cheapest ever by $50.

Several worthy gaming deals today. If you need a gaming mouse, the 6-macro button Razer Naga Hex Wraith mouse is at its lowest price ever at $60. A SteelSeries Xbox 360/PC gaming headset is $45 today only at 1SaleADay. Hot NewEgg pre-order coupon expires at the end of the day – good time to grab a $12 discount on upcoming titles like Assassin’s Creed 3 and LEGO Lord of the Rings. Of course, you can also pick up a pre-owned copy of Tom Clancy’s Future Soldier for $17 at Gamefly vs. the $40 it would cost you in new condition… which is probably the right price to pick it up at due to the mixed reviews.

Three solid HDTV deals today, spanning a wide range of sizes. For those looking for a large TV on the cheap, the 48-inch TCL set is over $100 off next best price after coupon. With a 240Hz refresh rate, it should do just fine with fast motion, and although there aren’t reviews online, it’s probably got similar characteristics to the very popular 40-inch TCL models, often touted as great values for the money. The 32-inch Philips set with WiFi would be ideal for someone wanting a bedroom set with Netflix capability right out of the box – you won’t have to worry about turning on additional components. Finally, we’ve got a 24-inch refurbished Hannspree LED set for only $100.

Seven of our deals today didn’t warrant their own category but deserved inclusion in the list. The 500GB external drive from LaCie is a straightforward and compact option if you don’t need multiple terabytes of storage. The Asus monitor’s hit a new low, as has the Onkyo 7.2 receiver, Fujifilm FinePix camera, and Samsung 830 Series SSD. All five of these products are generally well-reviewed, although you might want to look at specifics on the Onkyo’s second HDMI output, since many purchased with incomplete knowledge of its capabilities, then wrote negative reviews as a result. Finally, the iLuv earbuds are a cheap replacement option to round up today’s post.

GadgetReview Daily Deals: Asus Transformer Infinity $470, Lenovo U410 UltraBook $650

Our top deals today are offerings from Asus and Lenovo as well as a new PC game release at a coupon discount. The recently well reviewed Asus Transformer Pad Infinity offers a high end 10.1-inch 1200p display and its now available at an attractive price. Since it’s July release this is the first decent price drop to $470 at OfficeDepot.com. Nearly everywhere else it goes for $500. While not a huge saving, this is a good price for a top-of-the line Android tablet.

For Halloween and horror game lovers, next Friday’s release of Lucius on PC is only $13.60 at Green Man Gaming after coupon. That’s well under Steams price of $21.24. Finally, if you’re in the market for an Ultrabook you should check out the 14-inch Lenovo U410 with Ivy Bridge Core i5 now at it’s lowest price ever by $50.

Three Lenovo laptops drop to their lowest price ever today. The 17-inch Lenovo G780 budget laptop with Ivy Bridge Core i5 and 8 gigs of RAM hit a new low by $50 after a best ever $270 coupon code. The gaming capable Lenovo Y580 with GeForce GTX 660M with discrete GPU is $50 off last week’s price $849. If you were looking for an Ultrabook under $700 the Lenovo U410 wouldn’t be a bad choice since it’s cheapest ever after today’s $320 coupon code.

Mostly PC gaming deals to mention in today’s section. If you need a new headset the Corsair Vengernce 1500 and Creative Labs Sound Blaster Tactic get good reviews and are at their lowest prices ever. Green Man Gaming has both an instant savings discount and a 20% off coupon to stack with Darksiders 2, Lucius, Risen 2: Dark Waters, and Anna PC games. As for console users you can get Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition for $16, which is a new low by $4.

This 46-inch RCA set is not only incredibly inexpensive for its size but also got 4.6 out of 5 stars on Best Buy after eight reviews. It doesn’t come with a lot of extra features, but keep in mind you’ll probably get Internet streaming capability on most late-model Blu-ray players these days anyway. Why pay twice for the same thing?

Next we’ve got two monitors with slightly different target markets. The Asus IPS monitor is ideal for graphics-intensive work where a wider color gamut and greater accuracy are required, whereas the Acer monitor is more of a run-of-the-mill screen – but still capable of producing very good picture quality.

Today we’ve got two standout deals on video cards. The high-powered 3GB Radeon HD 7970 from VisionTek is only $360 after a coupon, and as you might guess, it’s capable of running most modern game you’d throw at it. For more casual graphics needs, the EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti is just over $100 and even comes with a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.

Today the 32GB Asus Transformer Pad Infinity makes its new lowest price ever by $30, and the 16GB Lenovo IdeaPad A1 is tied with its previous low again thanks to a $100 manufacturer’s coupon. Some ecstatic reviewers say the Asus is actually an iPad 3 killer…regardless, it’s got a 1080p Gorilla Glass coated screen and very good specs. In contrast, the IdeaPad is more of an entry-level tablet spec-wise but still incredibly well-received.

As usual, we’ve got a wide assortment of deals in the miscellaneous category. Perhaps the most standout in terms of tech appeal is the Logitech T400 mouse, which you can read about here. Basically it’s a mouse optimized for Windows 8 that’s sort of like a hybrid between a traditional mouse and a touchpad. The Creative Inspire T10 speakers are a great choice for good quality computer audio on a budget, while the Toshiba BDK33 Blu-ray player includes WiFi and streams most things you’d want for only $40.
