If you want a gaming laptop this year, you’re in luck. Among all of the great early Black Friday deals we’ve detailed this year, there have been tons of great early Black Friday gaming laptop deals — so you can finally get an RTX-wielding laptop at your fingertips. This one, which comes in the form of an early Black Friday Dell laptop deal, is for the Dell G16 Gaming Laptop. This RTX 4060 laptop is usually $1,500, but you can get it now for $1,000. That’s a saving of $500 or a third of the usual price, all yours if you tap the button below. Alternatively, keep reading to get our take on this deal.

When you’re figuring out if a gaming laptop is for you, one of the first places to start is with the hardware stat line. And it’s no different here — the Dell G16 has a 13th Gen Intel Core i9 processor, Nvidia RTX 4060 laptop GPU, 16GB of memory, and a terabyte of storage. All of these stats are customizable (with the exception of the storage), but be warned that the price will change as you customize, sometimes dramatically. The screen is 16-inches (this is where the name “G16” comes from) with a 2560 x 1600p resolution, fast 240Hz refresh rate for twitchy gaming, and Dell’s ComfortView screen tech that makes it easy to look at.

The laptop’s construction is solid and the WASD keys, with default configurations, are marked out for a quick scrambling return to movement when the real final boss unexpectedly reveals himself. When closed up, the laptop isn’t too gamery, if you’re self-conscious about that sort of thing, but there are undeniable gamer vibes coming from the Dell logo on the back. More importantly, though, are the rear bonus ports that include USB-C and HDMI for connection to other output sources. All in all, this is a gaming laptop of solid build that you should enjoy as a gamer, especially at this price.

Once again, if you purchase this laptop now, it can be yours for just $1,000 instead of $1,500. That’s a savings of $500, a full third of the price gone just like that. All you need to do is tap the button below and it’s yours, as long as this deal is still available. If it isn’t, or you start to have second thoughts about the G16, be sure to check out these wonderful early Black Friday Alienware deals to see if they get you more excited.

Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.

How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?

Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind. 

The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year). 

Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?

According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
