New Dell G5 15 gaming laptop: $1,189.99 $999.99 at Dell
Act quickly – this awesome deal on a mid-range Dell G5 15 gaming laptop is almost completely sold out. For a whole $190 less right now you can get your hands on a machine with an Intel Core  i5-10300H, 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, and a GTX 1660 Ti – fantastic specs for modern 1080p gaming.

Other great gaming laptop deals available now

HP Pavilion 15.6-inch gaming laptop: $1,079.99 $879.99 at HP
An RTX 2060 equipped laptop for under $900? What’s the catch? Unfortunately, there’s a 1TB hard-drive in this otherwise stunning HP Pavilion gaming laptop – a slower drive than the standard solid-state offerings. Fear not though, this is still one bad-ass machine for the money, packing in a 10th gen Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM, which will still blaze through plenty of games.

HP Omen 15T gaming laptop: $999.99 $899.99 at HP
Another top gaming laptop deal from HP, this Omen has an overall much better-balanced sheet of specs than the Pavilion above and comes in a super-slick, premium chassis. While you forgo that RTX 2060 for a GTX 1650 here, you’re getting your hands on a 256GB SSD – a nice tradeoff, as well as a 10th gen Intel Core i5 and 8GB of RAM.

Asus ROG Strix G15 15.6-inch gaming laptop: $999.99 $879.99 at Best Buy
If you’re looking to spend a little less, this Asus ROG Strix gaming laptop deal comes in at just $879 in the early Labor Day sales. That’s a great price for a 10th generation i7 processor, 8GB RAM, and 512GB SSD, with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti graphics as well.
View Deal

Lenovo Legion 5 gaming laptop: $1,099.99 $949.99 at Best Buy
Another stellar gaming laptop deal from Best Buy this week, the Lenovo Legion 5 is on sale with a $150 discount. For just $50 more than the above Asus you can get the same baseline specs but upgrade yourself to a GTX 1660 Ti graphics card – a nice option if you want a few more frames for your games.
View Deal

Razer Blade 15 Base 15.6-inch gaming laptop: $1,799.99 $1,599.99 at Best Buy
This Razer Blade 15 drops the RTX 2070 graphics of similarly priced models up above, but adds in a 10th generation i7 processor for the cash. That brings it squarely between our two top offers in terms of value for money, and while you’re still getting RTX 2060 graphics in here (as well as 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD) we’d only grab this if you’re really concerned about running an 8th generation processor.

Bitdefender Family parental control review

If you’re looking for a comprehensive online security suite for your family that also includes parental controls, Bitdefender is one of the best options right now. It’s a well-known security provider offering an award-winning antivirus program, along with a password manager, VPN, and identity theft protection.

But does its parental control offering, which is bundled with its Family plans and not available via a standalone subscription or even a dedicated app, compete against the best parental control apps?

Read on as we dissect the various parental control features it offers, what they cost, how easy the dashboard is to use every day, and what the top competitors offer.

    Bitdefender Premium Security Family subscription options:

  • $99.99/year at Bitdefender

Bitdefender parental control review: Plans and pricing

Bitdefender no longer offers its parental control features as a standalone subscription. You’d have to get one of its four family plans. But note that its entire suite of parental control features is available with each of these four plans.

The Total Security Family plan starts at $79.99 for the first year and covers up to 25 devices across five family members. At this price, the cost boils down to around $16 per member per year, which is more affordable than many other parental control applications. Not to forget that, for the price, you also get 24/7 real-time antivirus protection for up to 25 devices, as well as a password manager.

Next is the Premium Security Plan, which costs $99.99 for the first year and also comes with scam protection, AI-based scam protection, and a VPN with 4,000+ servers in 50+ countries. The Ultimate Security Family Plan and the Ultimate Security Plus Family Plan cost $119.99 and $199.99 for the first year, respectively.

The former comes with dark web monitoring and identity theft protection features such as an identity protection score and real-time breach notifications, while the latter also includes $2 million in identity theft insurance, three-bureau credit monitoring, and other bank, credit card, and investment alerts.

Bitdefender parental control review: Features

One of the standout Bitdefender parental control features is the ability to set screen-time schedules for your children, who would only be able to access their devices during the allowed time intervals.

Along with this, Bitdefender also offers several preset routines: Focus Time, Family Time, and Bedtime, which you can customize as per your child’s daily activity and schedule.

There’s also a pretty handy internet time management feature, which allows you to control how much time your child spends on the internet during a day. A nice addition is the ability to reward extra screen time for your children for responsible online use.

In addition to internet scheduling, parents can also choose to cut off internet access directly on their child’s device using Bitdefender’s Stop Internet feature.

Bitdefender also offers predefined age-appropriate filtering categories to help you filter out inappropriate content such as porn, betting, or online gaming for your children. As with screen time, you can also fine-tune these filters to better suit your child’s day-to-day use.

Apart from category-level filtering, parents can also allowlist or blocklist specific URLs individually, in case you want to go beyond the category selection.

Parents can set up to five child profiles, each with the child’s name, photo, and birth date. Bitdefender automatically applies age-appropriate filtering as soon as the profile is created, which parents can then edit as per their needs.

Along with this, there’s also location tracking, which helps you know where your child is on an interactive map at all times.

Lastly, there’s Safe Search, which lets you remove explicit and harmful results from search engines, as well as YouTube restrictions, which ensure your child only views age-appropriate videos on the platform.

However, note that content filtering and safe browsing require an active VPN connection to function, as per Bitdefender’s listing on the Google Play Store.

Bitdefender parental control review: Interface and in-use

Bitdefender parental control works across Android, Windows, iOS, and macOS. That said, Windows and Android get full, unrestricted enforcement of every feature, whereas macOS and iOS are noticeably more limited, largely due to Apple’s own platform restrictions.

For instance, iOS content filtering runs through Apple’s Screen Time and not Bitdefender’s own engine. Parents have to create a child account through Apple ID, then Bitdefender’s app hooks into Apple’s Screen Time restrictions rather than doing its own independent content filtering.

However, the setup is pretty simple. You just have to download the app on your child’s own device. Unlike other parental control applications, you can’t download the app on your child’s phone remotely – you’ll need physical access to the device to do so.

One thing worth noticing is that, after the 2025 overhaul, parental control is no longer configured within the Bitdefender Central mobile app, but from the Bitdefender Central web dashboard, which can still be accessed through the mobile application.

Once you’re on this dashboard, day-to-day use is genuinely easy. Bitdefender’s Activity Dashboard is filled with several graphs and charts, which allow you to check your child’s phone activity at just a glance.

For example, there’s a bar chart showing their daily internet time over the past few days, as well as a pie chart showing their current day’s internet usage along with their remaining time. The dashboard also gives parents visibility into what’s actually being blocked and when.

The Prevented Content Access panel is a running log of every link blocked on the child’s device over the past 7 or 30 days. This allows you to see whether your filtering settings are actually able to catch anything, or whether your child is repeatedly trying to search for restricted websites on their device.
