Asus just launched the weirdest laptop I’ve ever seen. The Adol Book 14 doesn’t look much different than the Zenbook 14 OLED that Asus already sells, outside of an attractive new lilac color option. The interesting bit comes in the lid, however, as Asus included a slot where you can pack in a perfume pod.

The gaming laptop deals that are worth buying for hardcore gamers rarely go under $1,000, so imagine our surprise when the powerful HP Omen 17z fell below that price. This configuration with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card, which usually sells for $1,350, is down to just $930 from HP for savings of $420. We’re not sure how much time is remaining before this 31% discount disappears, so if you want to get this gaming laptop for much cheaper than usual, you should stop hesitating and proceed with your purchase right away.

Intel has spent the better part of two weeks under fire for the instability of its 13th and 14th Gen desktop chips. If you haven’t been following the news, a microcode algorithm has affected the series above of chirps. It’s been sending incorrect voltage requests to the processor, resulting in users’ computers crashing. That was already bad, but then came Tom’s Hardware reporting that any damage incurred was permanent.

July 30th, 2024 marks the end of an era for many gamers. After nearly two decades, Microsoft has finally completed retiring the Xbox 360. As the console heads into its finale stage of life (or rather, death), the many commodities and resources Xbox plyers have utilized are coming to a close.

Update: This deal has expired and is no longer available on Amazon. Instead, you can find the same offer directly on Boost Mobile's website. With every major shopping event, like Amazon Prime Day, comes a "free phone" deal. As you'd expect, they're almost always too good to be true, whether offered by AT&T, T-Mobile, or Amazon. The latest variation comes via Boost Mobile, who's selling any iPhone 15 model, including the Pro Max, for just one penny. What's the deal with this deal? I break down the fine print below.

Rich people have become obsessed with building new cities lately—an affliction that extends even to hip-hop and R&B singer Akon. Back in 2020, Akon announced that he would build a futuristic new city in his “hometown” of Senegal. “Akon City” would be powered by green energy and solar power, feature condominiums, a seaside resort, and a university, and would use Akoin, his cryptocurrency, as its primary source of exchange. Akon promised that, soon, the African country would have “a futuristic city” on its hands, a “real-life Wakanda” that could act as a paragon for “how African society should become in the future.”

I occasionally catch myself glancing at my Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 review unit with a strange kind of envy. I use it every day. I like looking at its bold lines and perfect color palette, but I do not feel a sense of attachment. It’s such a striking phone, and its flat, uniform body makes it easy to handle. It’s a shame it’s so limited; I couldn’t imagine it becoming my daily device.
