HP may not yet have its own marquee summer savings event like Amazon Prime Day, but the company has been dropping discounts lately on products like gaming laptops, desktops, and more. The company largely known for PCs and printers may have arrived late to the laptop game, but they’ve now become a reliably worthy competitor to Apple, Dell, and others.
The Spectre series of 2-in-1 laptops are among our favorite product offerings from HP, and now, as part of their current weekly deal, the Buy at Newegg can be yours for just $1,330, down from its original $1,480. Thirteen-inch laptops are an ideal choice for students, professionals, or anyone in between, so if you’re in the market for one and you like saving money, give this deal a glance.
The HP Spectre x360 13 is one of our favorite 13-inch laptops here at Digital Trends, and we’ve previously declared it both the best convertible laptop and the best 13-inch 2-in-1. The sleek Spectre x360 13 features an all-aluminum, gem-cut frame protecting a 13.3-inch Full HD touchscreen display. Quad-Core eighth-generation Intel Core i7 processors and the Windows 10 Home 64 operating system allow for optimal performance and speed, while 16GB RAM and 512 GB SSD keeps you covered on the memory and storage front. Adjustable thermal settings let you choose between cool, quiet, or performance modes, depending on how much power you require.
Laptop users are increasingly putting a premium on privacy, and in this arena, the HP Spectre x360 13 is among the best in its class. Dedicated security features like an integrated FHD IR camera and fingerprint reader allow for more secure interactions, and a privacy camera kill switch lets you block your laptop’s front-facing camera. Lastly, the patented HP Sure View screen technology is designed to minimize access from onlookers, maximize privacy, and ensure that your screen is for your eyes only.
While it may still have a way to go to catch up to the vaunted Dell XPS 13, the HP Spectre x360 13 is certainly a strong contender in the 13-inch convertible laptop class, and now available for just $1,330, it’s one that should be worth your consideration.
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.
