This 14-inch HP laptop is $211 for day two of Prime Day

This 14-inch HP laptop deal is crazy cheap for day two of Prime Day and although it doesn't have much power it's excellent for busywork, browsing, and media.

So many discounts and offers are happening right now across so many retailers that our heads are about to explode. Seriously, look at all of these live Prime Day deals. Even so, some are worth calling out separately, like this next deal on a 14-inch HP laptop. Usually $470, it’s $220 off right now, and yours for just $250. That is a phenomenal deal, especially when you consider its hardware. It’s rocking an Intel Quad-Core N4120, 8GB of RAM, a 192GB of storage and Intel UHD graphics 600. That’s not super powerful, but it’s plenty to get some productivity and creative tasks done, and it would be an excellent casual-use laptop for browsing and entertainment. Shop it while it’s still hot.

If you’re looking for maximum power or a serious gaming-ready system, this is not it. So, don’t shop this deal if that describes what you want. However, if you’re looking for a versatile, lightweight laptop that you can use to do some work, creative tasks, browse, or watch shows and movies, well, here you go. This 14-inch HP can handle all of that in strides.

The storage is a bit tricky because it’s not a single solid-state drive. Instead, you get 64GB of eMMC storage built-in along with a 128GB MicroSD card. Everything else is pretty standard. The Intel Celeron N4120 processor is a 1.1GHz base-frequency quad-core that reaches 2.6GHz in a burst frequency. Intel UHD Graphics 600 handles video performance. The 8GB of RAM is a little low these days, but it should be fine if you’re not doing anything too taxing.

The real allure here is the price. Altogether, as a package deal, this lightweight system is excellent at $211. It’s already priced well at $250, but with the deal, you’re saving even more. You won’t be doing any crazy gaming or graphic-editing on this machine, but that’s okay; that’s not what it’s intended for. Shop the deal while it’s available. We’ve seen a few HP deals disappear over the past couple of days.

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.
