You should turn your attention towards Chromebook deals if you want to buy a new laptop on a tight budget, and we’ve found an offer that you won’t want to miss. From its original price of $410, the HP Chromebook 14 is down to just $190 for savings of $220 from Walmart. You won’t always have the chance to get this device for less than half-price though — in fact, the opportunity may be gone as soon as tomorrow. If you want to take advantage of the discount, you need to buy the Chromebook right now.
If you’re not yet familiar with Chromebooks, they’re laptops that are powered by Google’s Chrome OS. The operating system, unlike Windows and MacOS, heavily depends on web-based apps instead of installed software, which reduces overhead for quick startups and snappy performance even when the device comes with low-end components. That’s why you shouldn’t worry that the HP Chromebook 14 is “only” equipped with the Intel N200 processor and 4GB of RAM — it’s going to be able to handle your daily workload just fine with ChromeOS.
The HP Chromebook 14 features a 14-inch HD screen for portability, and it comes with built-in storage of 128GB to fit all of the files that you need to be always within reach. The Chromebook also comes with the HP True Vision HD camera that will let you look clear during video calls, as well as USB-A and USB-C ports plus a headphone jack for your accessories and charging purposes.
The HP Chromebook 14 actually already provides nice value at its sticker price of $410, so it’s a steal at its lowered price of $190 from Walmart after a $220 discount. There’s no telling how much time is remaining on this bargain, so you should proceed with your transaction for the HP Chromebook 14 immediately if you want to make sure that you get it for less than half-price. However, if you want to check for affordable offers for its Windows and MacOS counterparts, feel free to take a look at the laptop deals that we’ve rounded up.
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.
