Working on a small laptop screen can limit what you can do but with a laptop screen extender you have more than enough room for multitasking.

Gone are the days of a lesser-powered laptop that complemented a more powerful desktop Mac. MacBooks are a user’s primary computer and that MacBook can double as a desktop Mac at your home or work desk.

Midrange phones are more competitive than ever, and their performance and battery life make us wonder why we spend $1,000+ on flagship devices. Phones under $500 used to include drab displays, awful build quality, and hardly any software support. But recently, even budget devices have featured OLED displays and years of software support. With so many high-quality options close in price, even a small discount can make a big difference.

The AI race is quickly changing. Focus is shifting away from the models themselves to the products they power, as evidenced by the events of this week. First, there was Mark Zuckerberg continuing his scorched-earth campaign to drive down the cost of accessing foundational AI models. Llama 3.1 narrows the gap between the performance of open- and closed-source AI, and Meta claims it costs roughly half as much as OpenAI’s GPT-4o to run. In a video announcing the news, Zuckerberg wore a custom shirt with a quote from Emperor Augustus emblazoned in Latin: “At the age of nineteen, on my own initiative and at my own expense, I raised an army.”

With all the excitement over the 2024 Olympics, it’s easy to forget that this weekend is the last weekend of July. Yet, as August approaches, so does back-to-school season. We’ve pulled together a list of gadgets and goods fit for the occasion, but if you need another suggestion, 8BitDo’s Retro Mechanical Keyboard is down to an all-time low at Woot. Now through July 30th, you can buy the “N Edition” model for $69.99 ($30 off) or the Famicom-inspired “Fami Edition” for $59.99 ($40 off), both of which come with a 90-day Woot warranty.

HP’s Omen Transcend 16 gaming laptop (starts at $1,249.99; $3,009.99 as tested) is a slimmed-down version of its mainstay Omen 16 model. Though we appreciate its stunning OLED screen and modern looks, it’s too steeply priced and quickly outclassed in performance next to much more affordable high-end machines, even in battery life. Look to the Alienware m16 R2 and the Editors' Choice-award-holding Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 9 for superior value and performance.
