With gadget and computer prices hitting new highs in 2026 due to the ongoing memory and storage crisis brought on by the AI boom, deals and discounts have become increasingly important to find the devices you want at the right price. Fortunately, Micro Center, known for its wide selection of general electronics and PC parts, offers great deals and discounts every month on various products, and if you have dealer membership programs, you also get several useful benefits. Even in July, the retailer runs a variety of promotions from back-to-school discounts to bundle deals to product-specific offers.
As part of these promotions, you can grab laptops, desktops, PC parts, and much more for cheap. We selected some of these deals after considering the current and historical price of various gadgets from other popular retailers, their MSRP, and the discounted price at Micro Center. Remember, all of these deals are in-store only, so if you find something interesting, you may have to drive down to your nearest Micro Center to get it. You can always check if a discounted item is in stock and how many units are available at your local Micro Center on the retailer’s website.
Asus ROG Strix G16 G615LR-MS97
The Asus ROG Strix G16 G615LR-MS97 is a powerful gaming laptop currently on sale at a significant discount. Although it has a list price of $2,900, you can get it for just $2,200 at your nearest Micro Center. Intel’s Arrow Lake Core Ultra 9 275HX processor alongside Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5070 TI graphics card powers it. You can also get a solid 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 2TB of NVMe M.2 storage.
Although you don’t get an OLED screen, Asus has included a 16-inch 1600p IPS panel that can reach a refresh rate of 240Hz and support Dolby Vision. There’s also 2.5GbE Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4 for your connectivity needs. In addition, the port selection is excellent, with two Thunderbolt 5 ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one HDMI port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. Experienced industry experts praise the laptop’s overall performance (via Tom’s Hardware), with its tendency to heat being the only notable downside. Consumers of Micro Center have similar opinions about it, and have given it an average rating of 4.5 out of 5.
PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE Reaper Graphics Card
If you like gaming at 1440p, want to score an AMD Radeon RX 9070 GPU, and don’t mind going with the Golden Rabbit Edition (GRE), the PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE Reaper Graphics Card sells for just $480 at Micro Center. It’s a pretty good deal, as some retailers are selling it at its MSRP of $550. While it’s a great graphics card, many reviewers weren’t happy with its price at launch and noted that the $480 price tag would have made it a better option.
Lucky for you, Micro Center is selling it for that price in mid-July. The PowerColor Reaper sets itself apart from other GRE cards by offering a slim 2-slot triple-fan design for airflow. It also uses Honeywell’s PTM7950 instead of standard thermal paste for better thermal performance. Keep in mind that it’s not the best choice for 4K games, as its 12GB RAM can be a bottleneck.
Asus ROG Strix XG32UCDS 4K Monitor
Looking for a 4K OLED monitor? Micro Center has a deal on the Asus ROG Strix XG32UCDS, a 32-inch model with a QD-OLED panel and comes with a 165Hz refresh rate, and you can buy it for just $600. That’s $100 off its regular price of $700. Besides the beautiful OLED screen, the monitor supports AMD and Nvidia refresh rate technology, and covers 99% of the DCI-P3 color space, which is commonly used in movies and TV shows.
Port selection is another highlight of the monitor, with two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DP 1.4 port, and a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with DP Alt mode support. USB-C can also deliver power, but is limited to 15W, so it’s not suitable for a single cable connection with your laptop. It is combined with a good ergonomic shape that supports height, rotation, and tilt adjustments. The monitor has received excellent feedback from Micro Center buyers, with an average buyer rating of 4.7 out of 5.
Dell 16 DC16251
If you’re looking for an affordable 16-inch laptop, Dell’s 16 DC16251 model is available at a significant discount. Micro Center offers a 32GB RAM variant of the laptop for just $900, which normally costs around $1,200. For this price tag, you get a laptop with Intel’s 10-core Core 7 150U processor, a 16-inch IPS touchscreen with 1200p resolution, and a 1TB SSD. It also packs Wi-Fi 6E support for faster wireless connectivity, onboard graphics, and a built-in SD card reader.
Port selection is good, with two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, and an HDMI 1.4 port. You can also use the USB-C port to charge a laptop or send a video signal to an external display. In addition, the keyboard is backlit. It received positive feedback from Micro Center buyers, who gave it an average rating of 4.8 out of 5. However, some consumers point out problems with the touchpad and say that the laptop’s fan can be heard. Considering the common problems with Dell PCs, it could be worse. Overall, Dell 16 DC16251 can be a good choice for students and office work.
Asus B650E-E ATX Motherboard (Modified)
Building a PC has become expensive, and if you’re trying to save money by going with refurbished parts, Micro Center is selling the refurbished Asus B650E-E ATX Motherboard for just $90. The new model normally retails for around $200, and Amazon is currently offering it for $170 as part of a promotion. So, you’re already saving a decent chunk of change by buying it refurbished; but even refurbished units cost around $120 on sites like Newegg, making the Micro Center option worth considering. Remember, as with any new purchase from Micro Center, you can return a refurbished item if you are not happy with your purchase within 15 days.
Although it is not a new motherboard model, the Asus B650E-E remains a good choice for AM5 processors, given that it was the company’s flagship when it was launched in the B650 range. It has multiple PCIe 5.0 graphics and M.2 storage sockets, 2.5Gbe Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E, and DDR5 RAM support. You also get DisplayPort and HDMI for video output, and 12 USB ports, including USB-C. Tom’s Hardware recommended mobo, the only notable oddity being the lack of 40Gbps ports.
