The Best Buy Back to School Sale is on as students prepare for the fall. There’s a dizzying amount of items available. From $20 earbuds to a digital shelf of video game offers and a fully-built desktop computer. When first browsing the deals, I even thought I saw a few of our picks for the best robot vacuums. It can all make you wonder what a student really needs. So, we went looking and found this great 2-in-1 laptop, the HP Envy 2-in-1 16-inch 2K Touchscreen Laptop, that should satisfy all of a student’s cravings at a student-affordable price while still making it through to the diploma. Usually $1,170, the laptop is now $409 off, making it just $761. Tap the button below to see it for yourself or keep reading to see why this deal makes so much sense for students.
This laptop has a bit of everything, making it really ready for the ups and downs of the college experience. As a 2-in-1 it has the all-business functionality of a laptop, but can fold over into a fun tablet form. With 16GB of RAM you’ll easily be able to handle all the tabs that you’ll certainly be using for homework and nothing else (definitely) and the 1TB of SSD storage will take care of the software needs for most course loads. Depending on how hard you push it, the laptop can pull up to 12 hours off a single charge so you won’t be stuck competing for coveted outlet seat in every lecture. Finally, when you do kick back at the end of a hard day studying to watch some YouTube while it’s folded up like a tablet, the HP Envy 2-in-1 16-inch 2K Touchscreen Laptop does have that 2K screen, so it will look nice.
To grab the HP Envy 2-in-1 16-inch 2K Touchscreen Laptop while it’s just $761, a remarkable $409 lower than the usual $1,170, just tap the button below. This is also a great time to check out the best noise-canceling headphones for the extra focus they allow, especially as the Sony WH-1000XM6 have just recently landed.
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Google DeepMind's AI world model Genie 4 can now build interactive worlds that you can explore and reshape as they run. It also generates ambient sounds, music, and dialogue that respond to your actions.
The new world model builds on Genie 3 with improved realism, more natural human movement, and better simulations of real-world physics. It could eventually help with everything from game development to training robots.
Apple has an incredible talent for making me admire its products while simultaneously questioning what on earth it's thinking with the pricing. This isn't even something as bizarre as a monitor stand, but the audacity for starting a new laptop lineup from $2,000 doesn't surprise me.
The newly announced 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 is just the latest to showcase this. The funny thing is, I already know that it's going to be a reliable workstation. You get a powerful new 2nm M6 processor, a gorgeous Liquid Retina XDR display, and up to 24 hours of battery life. We were impressed by the M5 MacBook Air, so the high-end M6 powered MacBook Pro definitely won't let us down.
