If you’re shopping for a lightweight “daily driver” laptop and you don’t want to spend midrange money, Best Buy has the ASUS Vivobook 14 (Copilot+ PC) down to $349.99. That’s $400 off (about 53%) for a modern Windows laptop with Snapdragon X, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD, which is a lot of hardware for this price tier.
This model pairs a 14-inch display with a taller 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) resolution in an IPS panel with 300 nits brightness and a 60Hz refresh rate.
On the portability side, the product specs call out 3.28 lb weight and 0.7-inch thickness, plus a battery claim of up to 29 hours with FastCharge (100% in 1 hour).
You also get practical extras people actually use: an FHD IR camera with Windows Hello, a physical webcam shield, and a port mix that includes 2x USB-A, 2x USB-C (with PD + DP), HDMI, and an audio combo jack.
At $349.99, the value is mostly about getting the “big three” right for everyday work: 16GB memory, 512GB storage, and a modern platform that’s meant to feel responsive for browsing, docs, streaming, and general productivity.
One real-world note: because this is a Snapdragon (ARM-based) Windows laptop, it’s smart to sanity-check any niche software or older peripherals you rely on: some apps and drivers may require ARM-compatible versions.
If you want a lightweight 14-inch laptop for school, email, web work, and everyday productivity, this is a strong buy at $349.99, given the $400 discount. If you need guaranteed compatibility with specialized Windows apps, older printer drivers, or certain games, double-check your must-have software before pulling the trigger.

The paper, published on arXiv with the evocative title Reasoning Models Generate Societies of Thought, posits that these models don't merely compute; they implicitly simulate a "multi-agent" interaction. Imagine a boardroom full of experts tossing ideas around, challenging each other's assumptions, and looking at a problem from different angles before finally agreeing on the best answer. That is essentially what is happening inside the code. The researchers found that these models exhibit "perspective diversity," meaning they generate conflicting viewpoints and work to resolve them internally, much like a team of colleagues debating a strategy to find the best path forward.
