'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?

ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

While the Fourth of July brings about barbeques and family gatherings, Acer would prefer it if you stayed inside and gamed with the windows open this holiday weekend. With the tech company's Fourth of July sale, you can go out to the barbeque and then come home to a new gaming setup.

The sale includes a bunch of Acer's signature gaming products, and right now, while we expect it to last through the Fourth of July weekend, we can't guarantee it will last that long. If you're interested in getting one of these items, we recommend you do it before the weekend ends. From dedicated gaming monitors to the Predator gaming laptop lineup, you can find great sales to put the finishing touches or build your dream gaming setup.

Be sure to check out the best Acer deals for the Fourth of July below.
