There’s no shortage of gaming laptop deals in the market, so it’s going to be tough for offers to stand out from the crowd. Best Buy has one of our favorites today though — a $270 discount that makes this configuration of the budget-friendly Lenovo LOQ gaming laptop even more affordable at only $600 from $870 originally. We’re not sure how much time is remaining before the savings disappear though, so you should think about completing your purchase for this machine right away.
The Lenovo LOQ gaming laptop features entry-level specifications, but it’s still a solid device for playing the best PC games. It’s powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 7235HS processor and 12GB of RAM, along with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card, for a machine that will be more than enough to play modern titles at low to medium settings. You’ll have to skip the highest settings for demanding games, but with the price of this gaming laptop, most gamers would think that’s an acceptable trade-off.
The 15.6-inch screen of the Lenovo LOQ gaming laptop offers Full HD resolution for sharp details, plus a 165Hz refresh rate for smooth animations on the screen. The device also comes with Windows 11 Home pre-installed in its 512GB SSD so that you can start installing games right away, and it has a dual-fan system that blows hot air away from the gaming laptop and a sealed chamber that manages heat, which work together to keep it running at peak condition even after you’ve been playing for hours.
The Lenovo LOQ gaming laptop with specifications headlined by the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card is originally sold for $870, but you can currently get it for just $600 from Best Buy. However, if you want to pocket the savings of $270, we highly recommend proceeding with the transaction today because the discount may already be gone as soon as tomorrow. Finalize your purchase of the Lenovo LOQ gaming laptop immediately to make sure that you’re able to take advantage of this offer.
Speech-to-text apps have flooded the App Store, making it easier than ever to type on our Macs with just our voice. I have previously covered one such app called TypeWhisper. However, there has been a dearth of good text-to-speech models, and most of the good ones are locked behind a subscription.
Ollama, an open-source app that lets you run local AI models on your computer, wants to change that. It works on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and your prompts are never stored or used for training.
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).
