Gadget Review Daily Deals: Gaming-capable HP laptop $722, T-Mobile $50 monthly unlimited SIM card for $23

To start things off right, we found a bargain gaming laptop at HP. The old Windows 7 version of the HP dv6t-7000 (the newest model being dv6t-7200) is still available and fully customizable to high end specifications. While the base configuration is nothing to write home about performance-wise, this upgraded version sports a 1080p display, Ivy Bridge Core i5 CPU, and solid GeForce GT 650M 2GB graphics. It’s special this week since a 15% off coupon code works drops the price from its usual $850 to $722.
If you’re frustrated the new Kindle Paperwhite isn’t going to ship until right before Christmas, you can grab a refurbished Nook right now for only $90 – a solid $40 off the next best price. Well-reviewed and definitely a better option for reading on the go than a regular tablet or smartphone in terms of battery life.
Finally, tech-savvy folks who are cell phone plan and contract-shy can pick up a T-Mobile $50 monthly unlimited SIM card for only $23. That’s unlimited talk, text, and web for less than half the usual price. This could make a great stocking stuffer for a chatty relative – or a terrible idea, depending on your perspective.
