You know what I love more than OLEDs? Cheap OLEDs. And that’s exactly what drew me to the 14-inch HP OmniBook 5. It’s a $700 Windows laptop with a Snapdragon X Plus processor and an OLED screen. That means it should have great battery life and a beautiful screen. I consider these important in any […]
We’re well into Cyber Monday, and many of the same laptop deals that impressed us during Black Friday and the following weekend are still here. In fact, not only can you still save hundreds on great notebooks from Microsoft, Apple, Razer, HP, and more, but we’ve got some new accessory deals worth checking out. If […]
Aside from TVs, Black Friday is the best opportunity to save on one of the biggest tech purchases we’re all likely to make: a new laptop. A new generation of laptops is always around the corner at CES in January, but they’re still months away from release. In the here and now, you can get […]
This is just a little public service announcement ahead of Black Friday. Walmart will once again tout the M1 MacBook Air as an unbeatable deal for laptop shoppers. It sure is tempting at $599, especially if you haven’t seen the deal before. It might even be the right choice for some people. But for most […]
Framework did it again. It promised modular, upgradeable, and user-repairable laptops where other manufacturers dare not venture or have outright failed. And it’s delivered. The 2025 version of the Framework Laptop 16 comes with not only new AMD Ryzen AI CPU options, but also Wi-Fi 7, a more powerful USB-C charger, redesigned cooling, and a […]

But now that the company is preparing to sell an Arm headset, one that can even run Android apps, there’s an obvious question. Is Arm a one-off […]
Rumor has it, Apple is working on a low-cost MacBook. And not “low-cost for a Mac,” but a proper cheap laptop, possibly as low as $599. For a company that traditionally targets the more premium end of the market, this would be something of an about-face. Of course, Apple takes great pride in its design […]
If you’ve been holding off on getting a new laptop, now’s a great time to pick one up. Ahead of Black Friday, you can snag the base 13-inch M4-powered MacBook Air for $749.99 ($250 off) in multiple colors at Amazon. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen on Apple’s slim laptop, letting you save more than […]
Apple is working on a low-cost Mac laptop powered by an iPhone chip that it plans to launch in the first half of 2026, according to Bloomberg. The laptop will also have a “a lower-end LCD display” and a screen size that’s “slightly below” the 13.6-inch screen on the current MacBook Air. The laptop will […]
It’s easy to get into the weeds on a hobby, especially if you’re into PC gaming and dreaming of the highest levels of graphical performance. But how much is too much for hardware?
