Score! RTX 5070 Ti OLED gaming laptop is $450 off for a limited time
Summer is upon us, and with it comes the first major discounts I've seen on gaming laptops packing the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards.
The best deal I've seen so far is this Lenovo Legion Pro 7i with RTX 5070 Ti for $2,399 at B&H, which knocks nearly $500 off the asking price for this high-end gaming laptop with one of the newest Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series GPUs you can get.
This Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is a cutting-edge gaming laptop thanks to its Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, the Intel Core i9-275HX CPU, 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. That's more than enough power to make all your favorite games run great on the 16-inch 1600p 240Hz OLED display.
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti hit the market just a few months ago, and it looks to be the ideal value offering in the RTX 50-series lineup right now. And while it's not the highest-end 50-series card, it offers more than enough muscle to run even the best PC games well on this machine.
Plus, the laptop itself is a well-designed 16-inch gaming notebook that's equally good for gaming or productivity work. If you read our Lenovo Legion Pro 7i review, you can see how thin and elegant it is in person, along with shots of the plentiful port array and test results, which prove why it ranks among the best gaming laptops on the market.
That 16-inch (2560 x 1600) 240Hz OLED display looks lovely to boot, and it will make all your favorite games and movies look fantastic—and since it supports HDR and Dolby Vision, you can enjoy your media to the fullest.
Of course, we haven't had a chance to test this RTX 5070 Ti version yet, but it's sure to outperform its predecessors and run games well thanks to the power of Nvidia's latest laptop GPUs. Factor in the 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 2TB of SSD storage, and you see why you don't have to stress about this laptop running out of RAM or room for your favorite games anytime soon.
With Wi-Fi 7 and a full, comfy keyboard, you can cart this beast to the coffee shop when you want to work, and when you're done, you can lug it back to the living room and play PC games on your big screen via the HDMI 2.1, Thunderbolt 4 or USB-C ports. You also get USB-A and RJ-45 Ethernet ports, so you can count on being able to plug in old accessories and jack into wired Internet when gaming online.
Admittedly, this is a hefty beast that weighs over six pounds, so you'll probably want to keep it on your desk or coffee table most of the time. But that's true of most gaming laptops, and for my money, this is the best deal on an RTX 50-series machine I've seen all month.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Iran's Fordow nuclear facility, buried beneath a mountain near the city of Qom, has become a focus of global military attention following the most recent Israeli airstrikes. It is one of the most heavily fortified military sites in the world, and its resilience highlights a broader pattern: nations around the world have built underground bases to shield key military infrastructure from attack. Fordow is dug half a mile underground, lined with reinforced concrete, and surrounded by air defenses. It was built to survive a direct air strike and keep functioning. "Fordow is the be-all and end-all of Iran's nuclear operation," Behnam Ben Taleblu, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told the Financial Times. The site could produce enough weapons-grade uranium for nine nuclear bombs in about three weeks, according to estimates by the Institute for Science and International Security. PlanetScope image of the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant captured on June 14, 2025. PlanetScope image of the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant captured on June 14, 2025. Planet Labs PBC Iran said the facility was attacked last week, though damage was limited. Most military analysts believe the site could only be heavily damaged or destroyed with an American-made bunker-buster bomb and the B-2 stealth fighter configured to drop it. And even then, it is far from a certainty. Danny Citrinowicz, an analyst at Israel's Institute for National Security Studies, told Vijesti, "Without U.S. help, Fordow will be a big challenge. It's heavily fortified and deep in the mountain. I'm not sure how much damage we can do there." Fordow is one of many such facilities. Most major military powers have built underground bunkers—some dating back to the Cold War, others still active. While estimates suggest there could be over 10,000 of these sites worldwide, only a handful are widely known. U.S. Sites In the United States, Raven Rock Mountain Complex in Pennsylvania—also known as the "Underground Pentagon"—connects to Mount Weather in Virginia and Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado.

Tehran is believed to be is building an even more protected facility at Kuh-e Kolang Gaz La—also known as Pickaxe Mountain—south of Natanz. This site is planned to be even deeper underground, with at least four tunnel entrances and larger internal space. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has not been allowed to inspect it. Fordow was built in secret and revealed publicly in 2009 when U.S., British and French officials declassified intelligence on its existence. The disclosure led to increased sanctions and was central to the 2015 nuclear deal negotiated by the Obama administration and known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. After Trump withdrew from that agreement during his first term in 2018, Iran resumed higher levels of uranium enrichment by restarting operations at Fordow.

2 No-Brainer Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks to Buy on the Dip
Tech stocks have soared in recent weeks, but some still offer good value. ASML should capitalize on growth in AI as it's the only maker of EUV lithography equipment. AMD is building momentum in the data center and beyond. 10 stocks we like better than Advanced Micro Devices › After falling into a bear market just a couple of months ago, the Nasdaq Composite is back to flirting with all-time highs as concerns over a trade war have been tamped down and fears about a recession have faded against solid earnings reports and macroeconomic data. The recovery in the Nasdaq has been led by artificial intelligence (AI) stocks like Nvidia that are also hovering near all-time highs again, but not every tech stock is in that position. Let's take a look at two AI stocks that are trading at a discount to previous levels right now that are worth buying on the dip. ASML (NASDAQ: ASML) has one of the biggest competitive advantages in the whole tech industry. The company is the only maker of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography equipment in the world. Chip manufacturers like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Samsung, and Intel rely on ASML's equipment to make the most advanced chips on the market. Given there is a boom in AI right now, you might think that would make the stock a big winner, but ASML stock is actually down over the last year (off 26%) as the semiconductor equipment industry has been in a down cycle, and ASML has seen a slowdown in demand from China. Last October, the company cut its 2025 guidance from a range of 30 billion to 40 billion euros to a range of 30 billion to 35 billion euros due to weakness in markets outside of AI and for delayed orders, as the business is more than just EUVs. However, regardless of that recent weakness, ASML still looks like a good bet for long-term growth thanks to its position as the lone maker of EUV equipment and due to the growth in the semiconductor industry. The company only sells about 100 machines each quarter, so its business is naturally lumpy, but it's still growing. In the first quarter, it reported 46% top-line year-over-year growth to 7.74 billion euros. ASML is targeting 44 billion to 60 billion euros in revenue in 2030 with a gross margin of 56% to 60%, up from a target of 51% to 53% this year. If ASML can hit that target, the stock looks like an easy winner, trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 30 currently. Another chip stock also looks like a prime candidate to buy on the dip. Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) stock is down roughly 40% from its peak last year. Like ASML, AMD has begun to bounce off its earlier lows as the company is building momentum in AI and beyond. It's also benefited from the perception that it's the strongest alternative to Nvidia in the data center GPU market. In the first quarter, AMD reported revenue growth of 36% to $7.44 billion, driven by a 57% jump in the data center business to $3.7 billion in revenue, which management attributed to growth in its Epyc CPU and Instinct GPU chips. Its client segment, focused on PCs, reported 68% growth to $2.3 billion, showing it's taking market share from rival Intel and seeing strong demand for its Zen 5 Ryzen processors. That momentum and the massive demand connected to AI should favor AMD. The company is also making several acquisitions to boost its position in AI and beyond, including its recent acquisition of ZT Systems, a maker of servers, helping AMD vertically integrate downstream, though it sold off the manufacturing business, choosing to retain the design and customer service teams and benefit from ZT's expertise in rack-scale solutions. It's also acquired some AI start-ups. AMD now trades at a forward P/E of 33 based on adjusted EPS estimates, and the company looks poised for long-term growth in AI and other areas in the chip industry, thanks to its broad range of components, growth momentum, and recent acquisitions. After a long slide, AMD looks ready for a recovery.

What Are the Top 5 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks to Buy Right Now?
Nvidia and Broadcom are two of the best plays on the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure build-out. TSMC has been a vital part of the semiconductor value chain and is set to benefit from increasing AI chip production. Palantir Technologies and GitLab are two strong AI software plays. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to be the most important technological advancement in history, and it still appears to be in its early innings. As such, the space is still one of the most promising places to invest. When delving down to specific stocks to focus attention on, five of the best AI-related offerings to buy right now are Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM), Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR), and GitLab (NASDAQ: GTLB). Each company has found a unique niche in the AI sector to exploit, and each has big opportunities ahead. Let's look at why these are among the best AI stocks to invest in right now for the long term. Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) have become the backbone of AI infrastructure. These powerful chips are used to help power AI workloads, and demand has been soaring. The company's wide moat, however, comes from its CUDA software platform. Nvidia launched CUDA two decades ago to allow developers to program its GPUs more easily. It pushed CUDA into universities and research institutions early on, which helped CUDA become the de facto software program for AI developers. In Q1, the company had an over 90% market share in the GPU space. As a result, where AI infrastructure spending goes, Nvidia is sure to follow. While a slowdown in data center spending would be a risk, right now, demand for AI chips is only getting bigger. This is being driven by cloud computing companies pouring money into AI infrastructure to keep up with demand; large tech companies and AI start-ups spending big to create new foundational AI models; and even countries making large investments to not fall behind in the AI race. As AI infrastructure spending continues to ramp up, Nvidia remains a clear winner. Another company taking advantage of the AI infrastructure build-out is Broadcom. Rather than designing GPUs like Nvidia, it's been focused on networking components and helping customers design custom AI chips. It also added a software component when it acquired VMWare. Thus far, its strategy is paying off. Its Ethernet switches and other networking components help efficiently move data within huge AI clusters, making them an essential part of data center infrastructure. Last quarter, its AI networking revenue soared 70% and accounted for 40% of Broadcom's total AI revenue. However, Broadcom's biggest long-term opportunity comes from helping customers design custom AI chips, which can offer better performance and lower power consumption than off-the-shelf GPUs. Demand is starting to pick up. Broadcom says its top three custom chip customers are on track to deploy 1 million AI chip clusters each by 2027, representing a total opportunity of between $60 billion to $90 billion. On the software side, Broadcom also benefits from transitioning VMWare customers from perpetual licenses to a subscription models and upgrading them to its VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) platform. VCF helps customers build hybrid and multi-cloud environments so they can manage workloads across public clouds and their own on-premises data centers. At the end of last quarter, 87% of its top 10,000 customers had adopted VCF. While an AI infrastructure spending slowdown is a risk, given its networking leadership, custom AI chip opportunity, and growing software revenue, Broadcom is well-positioned moving forward. While semiconductor companies garner most of the attention from investors, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing is the company that actually manufactures most of these AI chips. It's the clear leader in advanced semiconductor manufacturing and a key partner to top customers like Nvidia, Apple, and Broadcom. Meanwhile, AI is driving its business. High-performance computing now makes up 59% of its revenue, up from 46% a year ago. Most of that comes from advanced nodes. Nodes refer to the manufacturing process used to make chips. The smaller the number (measured in nanometers), the more transistors you can pack onto a chip. This improves a chip's performance and power efficiency, and TSMC is the best in the world at making these at scale. And with rivals struggling to make advanced chips, this has given TSMC strong pricing power, as well. The biggest risk to TSMC is a slowdown in AI infrastructure spending, which would hit both revenue and fab utilization. However, the company is working closely with its largest customers to build out capacity in lockstep with their demand. With advanced-node capacity tight, TSMC is well-positioned to continue to be an AI infrastructure build-out winner. Palantir Technologies has emerged as a key player in the AI space. Instead of putting resources into developing AI models, the company focuses on the applications and workflow layers of AI to essentially develop an AI operating system. It does this by gathering data from a wide array of sources and organizing it into an ontology that links the data to its real-world counterparts. As a result, the company's AI Platform (AIP) can help organizations solve complex problems. This includes everything from monitoring sepsis in hospitals to streamlining underwriting processes in insurance. The sheer number of use cases across various industries that AIP can handle is just an enormous opportunity for Palantir moving forward. The company saw its revenue growth consistently accelerate over the past two years, including a 39% increase last quarter. The stock is not without risks, as it carries a high valuation and is exposed to government budget cuts, since the federal government is still its largest client. However, Palantir is unique in the AI space and has one of the biggest opportunities in front of it. GitLab is a leader in the DevSecOps space, offering a platform that helps developers build software securely. It's been an AI winner, as customers expand seats and upgrade to its higher-tier platforms as AI increases the customers' software development. GitLab is also helping customers become more productive with products like GitLab Duo, which uses AI to provide code suggestions and automation to streamline development. The company consistently delivered strong revenue growth of between 25% to 40% over the past two years and boasts impressive gross margins and solid free cash flow. It's also done a great job growing within its existing customer base, as evidenced by its 122% dollar-based net retention over the past 12 months. Most of this is coming from seat expansions, followed by strong upgrades to higher-tiered offerings. While there has been concern that AI will replace coders, right now the opposite has been true, as GitLab's technology is being used to make software developers more productive, not replace them. This is driving strong growth and makes the company look like a solid long-term winner.
