The Secretlab President’s Day Sale Starts Now: Save on the Best Gaming Chairs of 2025
Secretlab has already kicked off its President’s Day Sale, which starts now and runs until February 17. Save up to $139 off Secretlab’s popular Titan line of gaming chairs, Magnus gaming desks (including the Magnus Pro electric standing desk model), and accessories like the Secretlab Skins upholstery covers, desk mats, cable management, and more. Unfortunately, newer releases like the Titan Evo Nanogen chair and the recliner add-on are exempt from this sale.
It’s no secret that we love our Secretlab gaming chairs. Two of the six chairs in our best gaming chair roundup are Secretlab models. Of all the gaming chairs we covered in our “Budget to Best” roundup video earlier this year, my colleague Akeem Lawanson considered the Secretlab Titan Evo to be the most comfortable. No good chair comes cheap and Secretlab chairs definitely cost a premium, but we think the craftsmanship, materials, and customizability are worth it.
TL;DR – The 7 Best Secretlab Deals
You can quickly browse through all of the listed products on sale above. For more information on each product and why they are worth your consideration, read through below.
Secretlab Titan Evo
The Titan Evo starts at $519 during the sale. This is Secretlab’s flagship chair and it’s available in small, medium, and large sizes. Upholstery options include Neo Hybrid leatherette, SoftWeave Plus fabric, or premium Napa leather. The chair features cold-cure foam upholstery for the seat, a supportive four-way lumbar system, full length backrest with 165 degrees of recline, full metal 4D armrests with magnetically attached PU cushions, and a memory foam headrest pillow.
Aside from the build quality, the Titan Evo also stands out thanks to the sheer number of officially licensed designs from popular video games, TV shows, and more. Some of the more popular examples include The Witcher, Overwatch, Attack on Titan, League of Legends, World of Warcraft, and Game of Thrones. They generally cost more than the standard colors, but they’re worth it if you’re looking for that extra personal touch.
In our Secretlab Titan Evo review, Chris Coke wrote that “after two years of daily use, the Secretlab Titan Evo has proven that it can stand the test of time and still be one of the best gaming chairs you can buy. Meaningful ergonomics paired with Secretlab’s wide selection of designs, it remains a fantastic option, especially for fans of bright colors or designs.”
Secretlab Titan 2020
The prior model Titan 2020 gaming chair is available for $474, which is $45 less than the base model Titan Evo. The Titan 2020 is still an excellent chair and not much different than the current Evo model. In fact, outside of an upholstery change (the PU leather has been updated with Neo Hybrid Leatherette), the changes are mostly cosmetic. You are limited to fewer design options, so if you want to build out something that’s truly unique, you might want to splurge a bit extra for the current generation Titan Evo model.
Secretlab Titan Evo Lite
Among the Titan chairs, the Evo Lite is definitely the best value with its starting price tag of $419, or a full $100 less than the base model Titan Evo. It’s built upon the same frame as the Titan Evo and has the same core features like the cold-cure foam cushioning, lumbar, 165 degrees of recline, and 4D armrests. What it compromises on is customization, with “only” two upholstery options, two sizes, and five colors, a non-adjustable lumbar system, simpler arm rests, and no included head rest. If none of these tradeoffs bother you, then you’ll be saving quite a bit of money.
Secretlab Titan Evo Nanogen Edition
Although the Titan Evo Nanogen Edition isn’t on sale, it deserves mention simply because this is our top pick for the best gaming chair. In our Titan Evo Nanogen Edition review, Chris Coke wrote that “the Secretlab Titan Evo Nanogen Edition deserves every bit of the overwhelming praise I’ve given. Granted, at $799 it’s significantly more expensive than the original and not far off from an entry-level Herman-Miller. But the return it offers in comfortable, supportive gaming is well worth the extra cost thanks to dramatically improved materials in both the fabric and multi-layered padding. The Titan Evo Nanogen Edition is class-leading, and is hands-down the most comfortable gaming chair I’ve ever used.”
Secretlab Titan Recliner Add-On
Secretlab also announced a new recliner add-on to anyone who already owns the Titan Evo chair. It’s so new that not only will this recliner ship out sometime next year, it’s not even available for preorder yet. We have received a unit for testing, however, and it has turned out to be a very practical addition.
In our recliner add-on review, Chris Coke wrote that “while both comfort and value are subjective things, the recliner is able to take the Titan Evo and transform it from one of the best racing style gaming chairs to standing head and shoulders above the competition at its price point. It’s novel enough that I wouldn’t be surprised to see other brands following suit in the near future. If you don’t mind paying for it, it’s an absolutely killer upgrade for your gaming chair.”
Secretlab Magnus and Magnus Pro
The Magnus and Magnus Pro are also on sale during Cyber Monday. The Magnus is a traditional fixed-frame gaming desk while the Magnus Pro ups the ante with a custom designed electric standing desk frame for an additional $250. Both desks feature an all-metal desktop surface, solid steel legs and cleverly thought out areas for cable management, but the Magnus Pro has some really unique features including a power cable that runs internally inside one of the telescoping legs and an in-line control panel that you won’t bump into.
In our Secretlab Magnus Pro review. Mark Knapp writes that “the Secretlab Magnus Pro is a fantastic desk, bringing the brilliant cable management solutions of the original Magnus to a fast, quiet, and wide-ranging motorized standing desk. The desk is built well and proves an excellent platform for work and play alike. It’s an expensive desk though, and for the money, it would have been nice to see a smarter safety mechanism for the motors and the desk mat included. Still, the overall quality you get is a big step up from cheaper standing desks, and the optional accessories truly enhance the experience. Anyone who’s not committed to a standing desk should save their money and go for the standard Magnus if everything else about this model sounds good, but for gamers who love a tidy desk and want the flexibility of a standing desk, the Magnus Pro should be the first they consider.”

Amazon Has the First Discount of the Year on the Kindle Paperwhite for Its Presidents’ Day Sale
As someone who reads a new book almost every week, one of the greatest purchases I’ve ever made was my Kindle Paperwhite. While I love reading an actual physical book when I can, it is way more convenient to just move on to the next book in a series at the click of a button. And because I do the bulk of my reading at night, having the built-in backlight is a total game changer.
That being said, a Kindle is a fairly expensive purchase. Amazon doesn’t have deals on Kindle devices very often, but when it does, it’s usually a good time to pick one up for a little bit less. Right now, Amazon is dropping the price of the Kindle Paperwhite as part of its Presidents’ Day and Valentine’s Day sales.
The Best Kindle Deal at Amazon Today
Amazon is currently only discounting the black version of the Kindle Paperwhite, which means both the jade and raspberry models are still full price. This shouldn’t matter much, however, as you can customize the Kindle with a variety of different cases and covers. And while the 16% discount on this Kindle may not seem like much, it’s enough to essentially cover the cost of a case.
I’d personally recommend getting a case to go with your Kindle. All you have to do is close the front flap and it will automatically go into sleep mode.
Is this a good deal?
The Kindle Papwerwhite doesn’t go on sale very often, so any discount is usually a pretty good deal. That said, this isn’t the lowest-ever price for this device. The biggest discount we’ve seen on this particular model of e-reader was back during Black Friday and Cyber Monday when Amazon dropped it down to $129.99. Overall, this is the first discount we’ve seen in 2025 and we recommend buying one if you’ve been waiting for a sale.
Should You Buy the Regular Kindle Instead?
In general, we recommend the Paperwhite as the overall best Kindle you can buy, but the 2024 version of the standard Kindle is still quite good and has many of the same features. I happen to own both the latest Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle and have found the biggest difference to be the size and price. The standard Kindle comes with a 6-inch screen compared to the larger 7-inch screen of the Paperwhite. Both models include a built-in backlight and a dark mode, so if you’d prefer a more compact model, the regular Kindle is a great option. It is also quite a bit cheaper, even without a discount.
Do You Have to Pay for Kindle Unlimited?
If you purchase a Kindle, you do not have to have a Kindle Unlimited subscription to read books on it. The Kindle store sometimes has free books and you can make purchases directly through your device as well. You can also download free books from other sources like Libby and read them on your Kindle if you want to avoid paying anything.
Amazon does give you the option to pair Kindle Unlimited with your purchase of the device, which will give you three free months of the service. As someone who has a Kindle Unlimited subscription, I’d definitely recommend it if you plan on reading a lot of books. It’s especially good for some of the older best-selling books and genres like LitRPG that have 10+ titles in the series.
Charlie Peacock on His Memoir, ‘Roots and Rhythm,’ Going From Pop Aspirant to Producer, and Maintaining a Spiritual Path in a Cutthroat Business
Charlie Peacock’s stage name sounds like it was designed to be the nom de plume for a pop superstar, not someone who would become more renowned for his behind-the-scenes work as a producer, songwriter and label owner. He did enjoy cult success as a singer-songwriter in the 1980s, especially among the wing of more progressive […]

The Lenovo President’s Day Sale Starts Now: Save Big With These Legion Prebuilt Gaming PC Deals
Lenovo has kicked off its President’s Day Sale early with big price drops on two of its most popular Legion prebuilt gaming desktop computers. These systems are:
- Lenovo Legion Tower 7i Gen 8 RTX 4080 Super gaming PC for $2,132.49
- Lenovo Legion Tower 5 Gen 8 RTX 4070 Ti Super gaming PC for $1,527.49
You will have to apply two stackable coupon codes: “EXTRAFIVE” and “BUYMORELENOVO“, although the second one might automatically be added to your cart. If you’re waiting for RTX 50-series GPUs to come back in stock, don’t. The RTX 40-series GPUs easily meet current gaming needs at a more affordable price point, and they’re readily in stock.
In our recent Legion Tower 7 review, Jacqueline Thomas wrote that “the Legion Tower 7i is an incredibly powerful gaming PC, especially for the money you’re likely going to be paying for it. If all you want is a powerful, upgradeable machine without having to go through the trouble of building it yourself, it’s hard to find many gaming PCs better than this one.”
Lenovo Legion Tower 7i Gen 8 RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC
This Lenovo Legion Tower 7i Gen 8 system is equipped with an Intel Core i9-14900KF CPU, GeForce RTX 4080 Super GPU, 32GB of DDR5-4000MHz RAM, and a 2TB PCIe NVMe SSD. The unlocked 14th gen Intel Core i9-14900KF Raptor Lake “Refresh” CPU boasts a max Turbo clock of 6GHz with 24 cores, 32 threads, and a 36MB cache. It’s still one of the most powerful Intel CPUs available (in many cases it even beats out the new Intel Core Ultra 9 285K). It’s cooled by a robust 360mm all-in-one liquid cooling system that rivals many enthusiast setups.
The RTX 4080 Super is Nvidia’s second most powerful RTX 40-series card. You’ll be able to handle any game in 4K at high frame rates, even with ray tracing enabled. It’s 5-10% faster in performance than the RTX 4080 thanks to its higher base clock speed, higher CUDA core count, and higher memory bandwidth. It trades blows with AMD’s most powerful GPU, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, but the RTX 4080 Super pulls ahead in ray tracing performance and where DLSS 3.0 is supported. It’s nearly identical in performance to the new RTX 5080 GPU and also has the same amount of VRAM.
Lenovo Legion Tower 5 Gen 8 RTX 4070 Ti Super Gaming PC
This Lenovo Legion Tower 7i Gen 8 system is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super GPU, 32GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD. The Ryzen 7 7700 CPU boasts a max boost clock of 5.3GHz with 8 cores, 16 threads, and a 32MB cache. It’s air cooled by a 120mm tower heatsink/fan combo.
The RTX 4070 Ti Super boasts a substantial 15-25% uplift in performance over the RTX 4070 Super. This is an outstanding card for high-framerate 1440p gaming and also the least expensive Nvidia card that I would recommend for comfortable (60fps+) gaming at 4K resolution. The RTX 4070 Ti Super has 16GB of VRAM compared to the RTX 4070’s 12GB, which matches the 4080 Super and even the 5080.
Why Choose Lenovo?
Lenovo Legion gaming PCs and laptops generally feature better and more rugged build quality than what you’d find from most other prebuilt PCs. For desktop PCs in particular, people like the fact that Lenovo does not use many proprietary components in their rigs, so the PCs are much easier to upgrade with easiy obtainable, off-the-shelf parts. For laptops, Lenovo generally does not throttle the GPU on most of the Legion laptops, so you should expect maximum performance from a given GPU. Lenovo generally includes a solid one-year warranty with the option to extend.
