Amazon Gaming Week runs from Monday, May 22nd to Sunday, May 28th, which means Amazon is offering deals on a variety of gaming devices, including computer accessories, computer hardware, games (of course), and more. Artists, even if not gamers, will find some great buys on useful equipment. Here are three tech products that are as good value for money as gaming.

Dell 34-inch curved gaming monitor

One of the great things about such a wide gaming monitor from Dell is that it provides a lot of space on the screen to use and organize all the software and computer programs on the screen. Whether you want to work with multiple programs at once, edit video content, or view layouts comfortably, this space-saving 34-inch curved computer monitor may be just what you need. It has a resolution of 3440 x 1440 (WQHD) and a three-sided ultrathin bezel, all of which, Dell says, “cover you with minimal distractions.” It also has permanent alignment technology for deep blacks and excellent contrast. In short, it’s a very well-designed, easy-to-set-up computer monitor that will help any artist or graphic designer be more productive and organized.

Acer Swift X 14-inch laptop

The Acer Swift X is a great 14-inch laptop for any artist on the go, even if they’re not into gaming. It’s small and compact, a tad over 3 pounds. But what really makes this model stand out is its power: it’s powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 5825U processor with Zen 3 Core architecture, which allows it to complete tasks quickly and easily. It has 16GB LPDDR4X memory, 512GB SSD (for internal computer storage), 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz with 2×2 MU-MIMO technology and Bluetooth 5.2. It also has a biometric fingerprint reader (for use with Windows Hello) for secure login. It comes with plenty of connectivity, including a USB Type-C port USB 3.2 (Gen 2), two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and HDMI 2.1 with HDCP support, a headphone/microphone jack, and more. So if you have a lot of work to do—from updating your website to working on spreadsheets to using your favorite word processing program—this Acer laptop is a great performer that lets you get it all done, saving you time. .

Amazon Basics 128GB microSDXC Memory Card

It is easy to understand how important memory cards are. . . Until the card you’re using runs out of space and you don’t have more. That’s why this 128GB microSDXC card is a wise purchase. You can use it on multiple devices, including smartphones, tablets, cameras, and even GoPro or other action cameras to ensure you capture all your photos and audio and video clips. The good thing about this Amazon memory card is that it is very cheap before the discount. But this week you can save an extra 15%. So buy one or two—so you’ll always have enough storage for your multimedia files, from slideshows to video clips.
