Cyber Monday deals are coming to an end, and if you’re in the market for a new laptop, right now is the time to grab one. There are deeply discounted laptops on offer from nearly every big retailer today, including Dell. In fact, we’re highlighting two of Dell’s best laptop deals for Cyber Monday right now. Of the two, the best one by far is a $450 discount on this XPS 13 Touch laptop . That hefty discount knocks the price of this XPS 13 down to well under $1,000 ($850 to be exact). The second deal from Dell worth checking out is this $300 discount on a new XPS 15 touch laptop , which cuts the price of the XPS 15 touch laptop down from $1,950 to just $1,650.

Now, let’s take a closer look at both of these laptops.

If you opt for the XPS 13 touch laptop, that $850 price tag gets you a laptop with a 13.3-inch FHD touch display, 256GB of solid-state drive (SSD) storage, 8GB of RAM, and a four-core eighth-generation Intel Core i5 processor. You also get a 720p webcam, a full-size backlit keyboard, and a variety of ports including two Thunderbolt 3 ports, one USB 3.1 Type-C port, a microSD card reader, and one universal audio jack.

We recently reviewed the Dell XPS 13 (a slightly different model than the one featured here), and it received a glowing response from us: We even referred to it as “nearly perfect.” We especially appreciated its “speedy ultrabook performance” and its “sleek design.” But remember, it’s only nearly perfect, as we were a little disappointed with its “reduced battery life.”

If you have a bit more room in your laptop buying budget this year, you might want to consider grabbing Dell’s new XPS 15 touch laptop deal. It’s a steeper price tag than the XPS 13 at $1,650 but you’re still getting a $300 discount and a laptop that features a ninth-generation Intel Core i7 processor, a 15.6-inch 4K UHD touch display, 256GB of SSD storage, 16GB of RAM, a 720pm webcam, and a full size backlit keyboard. Its port selection is notable because it comes with one SD card reader, one HDMI port, one Thunderbolt 3 port, two USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, and one universal audio jack.

We reviewed an XPS 15 in 2018 that is similar to this model and it received an exceptionally positive review from us. We especially liked its port selection, long battery life, and overall design. We didn’t like the placement of its webcam, however, or the fact that the SSD it came with seemed to have “a slow write speed.”

Google rejects alarming report that says its Search AI tools are unsafe for kids
The company says it couldn’t reproduce many of the responses cited and argues that the testing doesn’t reliably measure product safety
Google AI Mode on mobile and desktop

Google has rejected a new report that labels its AI-powered Search features an “unacceptable risk” for children and teenagers.

Common Sense Media’s Youth AI Safety Institute gave AI Overviews and AI Mode its lowest overall rating. The two tools performed poorly against seven of the institute’s eight AI safety principles and failed every category involving potentially severe harm. Google says those findings came from searches that don’t resemble how people normally use its products.

What should you look for in a printer for high-volume home printing?
From ink costs to wireless printing and scanning, here's how to pick a printer that keeps up with busy households without constant cartridge replacements.
Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with HP

Most people find out their printer wasn't built for them at the worst possible moment. You need to print something urgent (a permission slip, a tax form, a boarding pass) and you're out of ink. Or low on magenta, which for reasons no one has satisfactorily explained, also blocks you from printing a black-and-white document. You order a cartridge, wait two days, and finally print the thing you needed on Tuesday the following Thursday.

This AI doesn’t just translate languages, it invents brand-new ones
Forget translating, this AI builds languages from scratch, sounds, grammar, and all.
ConlangCrafter open on laptop

Ever wondered what a language built entirely by AI would sound like? A team of researchers just made a tool that answers exactly that question. A new paper published in the Proceedings of the Association for Computational Linguistics introduces ConlangCrafter, a tool that uses large language models to build brand new languages complete with their own sounds, grammar, and vocabulary.

Morris Alper, the paper's lead author and soon-to-be assistant professor at the University of Miami, explained that the goal was to create languages with features you don't normally find in the ones we already speak.
