Lenovo Yoga Slim 7X Selling for $999.99 at Best Buy, Plus Starfield and Dash Cam Deals

Best Buy is selling the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7X for $999.99 for the rest of the day, with a 2K OLED touchscreen, Snapdragon X2 Elite chip, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD. The Verge's roundup also includes Starfield, DoorDash, and Baseus dash cam deals.

The Yoga Slim 7X is positioned as an alternative to spending more and getting less with Microsoft's latest Surface Laptop. The Verge notes that a comparable Surface Laptop configuration would cost $1,549 while still offering half the storage of this Yoga Slim 7X model. Its Arm-based processor can run most Windows apps well and delivers better battery life than laptops with x86 processors, according to the report.

The machine includes three USB-C ports and a hardware switch for disabling the webcam. It supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3. The Verge says it appears well suited for work, watching movies, or playing games that are not too graphically demanding.

In the same deal roundup, the PlayStation 5 version of Starfield recently fell to $29.99 from $49.99 at Amazon and Best Buy. The Verge says the RPG is worth playing for fans of space, guns, and quests, and calls it perhaps Bethesda's most polished game yet. Buyers can download the Free Lanes update that launched alongside the PS5 debut in April, and paid expansions are available.

DoorDash is also offering DashPass members a $25 DoorDash digital gift card when they spend $50 or more on a game, while non-DashPass members get $10, according to the roundup. The promotion can be used on Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, a newly released $69.99 digital title for Switch 2. The Verge cites Slickdeals users who have had success with the deal as saying the gift card should arrive within a few days of purchase.

The Baseus VD1 Pro dash cam has dropped by $20 to $99.99 at Amazon. It includes a 4K front-facing camera and a 1080p rear-facing camera. The front camera has a battery that can be recharged through a built-in solar panel, allowing it to keep running when the car is off; it can detect incidents for up to 14 days while the car is parked. A long USB-C cable connects the two cameras, which The Verge notes may require clever routing through a car's trim.
