You’re going to have to shell out a significant amount if you want to buy a powerful gaming desktop, but you can enjoy some savings along the way if you take advantage of gaming PC deals. Here’s an offer we recommend — a $650 discount on this particular configuration of the HP Omen 45L that usually costs $2,050, bringing its price down to only $1,400. It’s still not cheap, especially considering you’ll also have to get a decent gaming display from monitor deals, but you won’t want to miss the value that you’ll get from this limited-time offer.

Why you should buy the HP Omen 45L gaming desktop

The HP Omen 45L is mentioned in our roundup of the best gaming PCs as an excellent choice for beginners because it comes with powerful components and it’s easy to upgrade. You’ll be getting the 13th-generation Intel Core i7 processor with 16GB of RAM, which our guide on how much RAM do you need says is a great place to start for a gaming desktop. It also comes with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti as its graphics card. With these specifications, the HP Omen 45L can comfortably run the best PC games, and it could even be enough for the upcoming PC games of the next couple of years as long as you’re not selecting the highest graphics settings.

With a design that’s focused on enabling easy upgrades without the need for special tools, you’ll be able to easily replace parts of the HP Omen 45L once that’s necessary in the future. For now, it’s a reliable gaming PC with Windows 11 Home pre-installed in its 1TB SSD, an the Omen Cryo Chamber that utilizes a liquid cooler radiator to keep it running at peak performance even after you’ve been playing for several hours.

If you’re thinking about investing in a gaming PC, or you’re planning to upgrade from an outdated and underpowered machine, you’re going to want to get something like the HP Omen 45L gaming desktop. This configuration with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card, originally priced at $2,050, is currently on sale from HP for only $1,400. You’ll be able to spend the $650 in savings on more video games and accessories, but you’ll only get it if you hurry with your purchase because there’s a chance that the bargain is already gone by tomorrow.

There are some great machines in the 15-inch laptop category, which has recently been stretched to include the more common 16-inch laptop. The best among them is the Apple MacBook Pro 16, which offers fast performance for tasks like video editing and the longest battery life.

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 is aimed not only at other 16-inch Windows laptops but also at the MacBook Pro 16. It offers many of the same benefits but at a lower price. Can it take a place at the top?

How to set an ‘Out of Office’ message in Microsoft Teams

Person using Windows 11 laptop on their lap by the window.

Many people use Microsoft Teams regularly to communicate with colleagues both inside of the office and remotely. It is considered one of the most efficient ways to ensure you can stay in contact with the people on your team, but what if you need to let people know you’re not readily available? Microsoft Teams has a method for you to set up an "Out of Office" status for your profile to let staff members know when you’ll be gone for the afternoon, for several days on vacation, or for an extended period.
Where do I go to set up my ‘Out of Office’ status for Teams?
It is important to note that your Microsoft Teams and Outlook calendars are synced. This includes your out-of-office status and automatic replies. So, whatever you set up in Microsoft Teams will reflect in Outlook. Similarly, you can set up your out-of-office status in Outlook, and it will be reflected in Teams; however, the former has a more straightforward instruction.

First, you can click on your profile icon in Teams and go directly to Schedule an out of office, as a shortcut. This will take you to the settings area where you can proceed. You can also click the three-dot icon next to your profile icon, then go to Settings > General, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. There, you'll find out-of-office settings and click Schedule.
