Every once in a while, a deal comes down the pipeline so good, you almost have to buy it, even if you weren’t planning to. Like the price is just too good to be true. That’s exactly what’s happening with a Lenovo Chromebook deal over at StackSocial. More specifically, a refurbished Lenovo 11.6-inch Chromebook 2nd Gen, from 2019, is only $60 today, down from $150. That is an absolutely phenomenal, almost chaotic, deal. There is only a limited quantity available, so I suggest you hurry if you’re interested. They’ll be gone soon.
Built for classrooms, but ready for anything, this Lenovo Chromebook offers up to 10 hours of use on a single charge. The rugged durable build means it’s ready for use anywhere. Now, I know what you’re thinking. Chromebooks need the internet to do anything, right? Wrong. Chromebooks can actually do a lot without an internet connection. They are different when you compare Chromebooks to laptops, however.
Also, why go for something refurbished? Honestly, it’s not as big of a deal as you might think. These Lenovo Chromebooks are “Grade A” from StackSocial. That means they arrive in near-mint condition with minimal to zero amounts of visible damage or scuffing on the case. It’s not like they’re thrown around or arrive with broken and missing parts. The body may show light wear, but there are no scratches or burn-ins on the screen, the keyboard and trackpad work, and you’ll get a minimum of 80% battery health.
As for this particular Lenovo, it’s rocking a 1.1GHz Celeron 4020 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 16GB of eMMC storage. It has an 11.6-inch HD display, a front-facing 720P HD camera, and 2×2 802.11 AC Wi-Fi for reliable internet, no matter where you go. The rubber bumpers, reinforced ports and hinges, and drop-resistant design mean it’s ready to rock and roll.
I haven’t seen a Chromebook like this, this low in price in a long while, if ever. This is an awesome deal. Just $60 gets you this refurbished Chromebook, which is 60% off. Don’t wait around, there are only 5,000 total up for grabs. Once the stock is all gone, this deal is gone for good.
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.
