With online threats and scams becoming ever more common, you need to defend yourself. That’s why we strongly recommend that you run antivirus software on your computer. Luckily, Amazon is running a deal on Norton 360 Premium that saves you 80% off the retail price.
While Amazon has been selling Norton Premium 360 for $30 ahead of Black Friday, the one-day sale knocks another $10 off for a year subscription to the service. You’ll get a license good to protect up to 10 devices — PCs, Macs, and iOS and Android devices — and real-time virus protection when you register a new account with Norton.
Compared to other versions, Norton Deluxe only offers coverage for either three or five devices depending on which version you purchase, and the Standard version only a single device. If you have a lot of devices or have a family to protect online, we’d recommend the Deluxe version, and especially at this price.
There are no limits to each type of device you can protect, so if you need to protect 10 computers you can, but you could also protect 10 smartphones just the same.
Premium 360 does offer some additional attractive features over and above most standard virus protection offerings. Norton includes 75GB of free cloud backup space to give a secure space for important documents in the event of theft or loss, and secure VPN service is included so you can browse the web anonymously and keep your data safe.
Thanks to the acquisition of LifeLock several years back, Norton Premium 360 also includes free dark web monitoring, which monitors and alerts you when your personal information is found on these channels. As the name suggests, you are protected online in just about every way possible.
If you’re wondering, Norton 360 Deluxe renews annually at anywhere from $100 to $140 depending on what cloud storage space option you choose (this particular offer will renew at $100 yearly). You can always cancel at any time, although you will need to enter a payment method at the time of activation.
Amazon does offer an instant download option, so why not take a moment between your Black Friday shopping to install antivirus software that will make sure you’re filling up your online shopping carts both safely and securely.

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.
