As Cyber Week hums along, we’re seeing some fantastic Cyber Week Deals, on everything from the hottest computers to the most useful smart home appliances. When it comes to laptops, there are incredible Cyber Week laptop deals, and as we drill down, even some very impressive Cyber Week Chromebook deals. In fact, right now, you can save $71 at Walmart on this 14-inch Asus C423 Chromebook. It’s down to $199 from its regular price of $270. That’s an absolute cyber steal.
The Asus C423 is a Chromebook that both looks impressive, and acts accordingly, especially for the price, and that goes double when $101 dollars has been knocked off that price. We love how slim the aluminum-finished casing appears on this Chromebook — giving the look of a sleek, sexy, contemporary laptop. Nothing about its appearance says “inexpensive.” Nor the screen for that matter. Normally, Chromebooks are saddles with hugely wide borders surrounding the screen; not with the Asus C423. Its design boasts a NanoEdge display, giving you the maximum surface on which to work, play, or enjoy your favorite content. Not only does it have that 80% screen-to-body ratio, the display offers 1,366×768 HD resolution in its pixels, so your images will be as crisp, clean, and precise as can be (especially with anti-glare coating)
Once we go under the hood, this little wolverine of a machine does not disappoint. Its processor is a by an Intel Celeron N3350 processor, common in Chromebooks, and more than satisfying everyday tasks. This Chromebook’s 4GB of RAM and 64 GB storage aren’t going to blow anyone’s hair back, but this kind of power and storage are going to take you wherever you want to go in terms of casual computing. Working on presentations or homework, light gaming, watching Netflix, acting as a home or personal computer — you’re covered. We like the connectivity, too. There are plenty of ports, including USB Type-C which is the key to fast data transfer speeds and charging speed (this one doubles as a charging port). The 10 hours of battery life is nothing to sniff at either.
Not yet sold? We’re seeing a vast range of Chromebooks throughout the Cyber Week Chromebook deals, so you have plenty of options. But right now, you can save $71 on this Acer C423 Chromebook. It’s only $199, down from $270 at Walmart.
The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
