Greetings, Arsians! Courtesy of our friends at TechBargains, we have another round of deals to share. Today, the Dealmaster has scrounged up another good-looking deal for those in need of a cheap laptop, as Acer's Aspire 5 notebook is down to $459 at Walmart.

This configuration comes with a 7th-gen Core i7-7500 processor, a 15.6-inch 1080p display, 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB hard drive. The familiar caveats with budget laptops still apply: it's meant for casual use more than gaming or graphics-intensive work, the build quality and display won't blow you away, and the keyboard isn't backlit. But last year's Core i7 isn't exactly a slouch for $459, and neither is a fully 1080p display. If you just can't pay for something better, you could do worse.

If your laptop situation is all set, there's also a smorgasbord of PC accessory deals going on at Amazon today, including the lowest price we've seen on the high-end AMD Threadripper 1950X CPU we praised last year. There are deals on wireless headphones, iPads, and Amazon's Fire HD 10 tablet beyond that. Check it all out for yourself below.
