NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super and 2060 Super Selling for Lowest Price, Everedit
NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 2060 Super and 2070 Super are arguably the best value parts you can buy from Nvidia right now (No seriously, I’m not just saying that because I bought an RTX 2070 Super). For slightly more than GTX 1070 launch money, you’re getting GTX 1080 Ti levels of raster performance, along with the full set of Turing goodies including ray tracing and DLSS. And the RTX 2060 Super handily beats the vanilla 1080 while giving you all those same extras. In normal markets, they cost a good bit more than the Radeon RX 5700 XT and 5700 respectively, making the AMD options viable contenders if ray-tracing’s not your thing.

Dell XPS13 (7390): Compact, fast, and ticks all the right boxesedit
To us, the Dell XPS 13 has always been a laptop that looks better (in terms of design) in pictures than in person. While that doesn’t mean this is not a good laptop, the XPS 13 is slightly thicker in person than it looks in pictures. Having said that, at 11.6mm it still qualifies as an ultra-thin laptop and 1.16kg is comfortably light to carry around. The XPS 13 (7390) is a newer variant, launched in India a few months ago, retains tlie compact design that this series is known for. The bezels around the display are thin and that makes the overall form factor considerably smaller dian many competing laptops.
