Recommended laptops vary by power needs, operating system preference, gaming portability, repairability, and unusual form factors.
In the market for an inexpensive laptop for everyday use? We're seeing some notable discounts on Chromebooks ahead of Black Friday sales, like this one on the recently-released Asus CX14 Chromebook Plus for just $249 -- a sweet deal for a device that's well-suited for work, school, kids, or teens. Asus' CX14 includes all the perks that come with a Chromebook Plus, such as live translations, text and audio summaries, and free Gemini Advanced for a year, as well as 2TB of cloud storage.
Last week's Apple event meant we were in for a barrage of reviews this week. We spent lots of time putting the iPhone 17 family, including the new iPhone Air, through its paces.

In non-Apple reviews, there's in-depth analysis of a premium Chromebook and the latest Tamagotchi device. Read on to catch up on everything you might've missed over the last few weeks.
