Generally, laptops are expensive. If you’re on a tight budget or you’re trying to save money, you can’t exactly run out and buy a new laptop at any time, even with good credit. At least, that was the case before retailers started dropping a ton of reasonably priced and renewed products. Walmart, for example, has a bunch of refurbished and restored HP Chromebook deals, all for under $70 a pop. As far as laptops go, that’s pretty darn cheap. Rather than wax poetic about it, let’s get to the nitty gritty and take a look at some of the best restored HP laptop deals from Walmart.
This 11-inch Chromebook comes with an Intel Celeron N3060 processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 16GB solid-state drive. It’s running the Chrome OS, which, if you didn’t know, is Google’s Chromium OS for nearly all Chromebooks. It can run Android apps, browse, play media, and much more. You’ll want to use a Google account to sign in to associate everything on the device with your account(s) but that’s about it. All virus and malware protection is handled automatically. Pretty rad, no? Also why they’re a top choice for the average classroom.
This 11-inch Chromebook has an Intel Celeron N2840 processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 16GB solid-state drive. Battery life is about 8 hours, and Chromebooks generally last quite a while, making them the perfect travel companions for productivity tasks on the go. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need active internet access to use a Chromebook; you can also do a lot of tasks and activities offline.
This 14-inch Chromebook has a slightly larger display and a bit more oomph for power. That’s thanks to an Intel Celeron N3350 1.1GHz processor, 4GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage via the solid-state drive. It’s also super sleek and thin, again making for an excellent travel companion especially when you just need to toss something in your bag and go.
Before we begin, let’s take a quick jaunt down restoration lane. What does it actually mean when a product like one of these HP Chromebooks is renewed?
For starters, they’re not manufacturer-certified, but they are professionally inspected, tested, and cleaned through Walmart’s program. All products are fully functional before being listed and in “Like New” condition. There may be micro scratches or abrasions on the surface of the item, but nothing too damaging. Furthermore, the battery capacity has been inspected and exceeds 80% capacity relative to a new equivalent.
If you’re worried about returns, you can request a free return or replacement within 90 days of the purchase date.
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.
