No matter how inevitable the AI-takes-all scenario may sound, as long as there is a person in the world who still wants to own their means of computation, we will be here to build the hardware that enables it.
Right now, the 24-inch Lenovo all-in-one desktop computer is down to just $400 at Amazon, after a whopping $199 discount. This bundle comes with everything you need to get started right away, including a pre-installed copy of Windows 11 Home, a wired keyboard, and a wired mouse. However, as you'd expect, the offer is only available for a short time. It's best to snap it up sooner rather than later, if you want to avoid paying the full $599 price.
Apple's new affordable 13-inch MacBook is rumored to feature a low-power A18 processor -- the same chip found in the iPhone 16 Pro -- rather than the typical M-series processors used in MacBooks. This would allow it to keep costs low, particularly if paired with more modest hardware such as a less flashy display and a smaller form factor.
Well, the day has finally come. It's now down to $1,000 over at Best Buy as part of the store's Presidents' Day sale. That's an incredible price for this much laptop. The previously mentioned memory and storage still apply here, along with the 2880 x 1800 OLED display with a 120-Hz refresh rate. This laptop basically has every high-end feature you could imagine, but one of my favorite aspects is the ports.
There's been some hullabaloo over HP's laptop subscription service, recently brought to light by a Linus Tech Tips video. And for good reason: it feels like everything is a subscription these days. But it's not just the dystopian feeling that companies are happy to sell you access to movies, music, games, phones, printers, and now even laptops without you actually owning them. HP's subscriptions for its consumer and gaming laptop lines are just a bad deal.
