This year’s Black Friday deals are starting early, and like every year, Black Friday laptop deals will likely be among the most popular offers. For gamers, Black Friday gaming laptop deals are also available, and if you’re looking to get a good discount, you should begin by looking at the Best Buy Black Friday deals that are now available. One of Best Buy’s most enticing gaming laptop offers is for the Acer Nitro 5, which is being sold for $620, down $80 from its original price of $700, as part of the one-day Best Buy Treat Yourself Black Friday Sale that ends at midnight.

The Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop is powered by an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card, allowing it to run even the most demanding games without a hitch, not to mention enabling multitasking between apps and browser tabs. Gamers need every advantage that they can get, especially in online multiplayer sessions, and the Acer Nitro 5 will make sure that you don’t lose due to slowdowns or stuttering.

Games are clear with vivid colors on the Acer Nitro 5’s 15.6-inch Full HD display, with Acer’s ComfyView technology that reduces distracting reflections. The gaming laptop, however, remains lightweight even with a screen of that size, weighing in at just a shade over 5 pounds and measuring less than an inch thin.

The Acer Nitro 5 is equipped with a 256GB SSD, which offers faster start-up times, eliminates noise, lowers heat production, and reduces the draw of power from the battery, compared with traditional hard drives.

If you are looking to buy a gaming laptop for Black Friday, you don’t have to wait until November 27. The Acer Nitro 5 is currently available in the Best Buy Treat Yourself Black Friday Sale with an $80 discount that brings its price down to $620 from its original price of $700. You only have until midnight to take advantage of this offer, and with Best Buy’s Black Friday Price Guarantee, which will grant you a refund of the difference if the Acer Nitro 5’s price goes even lower between now and November 28, you shouldn’t think twice about clicking that Buy Now button.

OpenAI is killing ChatGPT Atlas browser. I loved it, but it was an uphill race to the top
It was a trailblazer in a few ways, before it was copied down to its skeleton.
ChatGPT Atlas browser on a MacBook.

When OpenAI launched its own web browser, there was plenty of skepticism as to why a frontier AI lab is even bothering with making a browser in the first place. And yet, the company went ahead and launched ChatGPT Atlas with a heavy dosage of AI features built in. Well, the days of browser ambitions are over, and it will be put on cold ice in September this year.

OpenAI says it is sunsetting the short-lived browser in favor of pushing the new ChatGPT work desktop app, which already has a built-in browser as well as a cloud browser for AI agents. And now that ChatGPT is making its way to other browsers, such as Chrome, as an extension, there is little need for maintaining a dedicated browser project of its own.

Windows 11 Search is getting bigger, but only by 4 pixels
The change could be in preparation for the upcoming Ask Copilot feature
Windows 11 Laptop

If you have used Windows 11 Search after the June update, you may have noticed it feels a little less annoying. Microsoft recently made the Start menu and Search more responsive, and also fixed one of Search’s stranger limits by letting it find local files using just two characters.

Now, the company appears to be making a much smaller change. According to Windows Central, Microsoft accidentally revealed that the search box in the Taskbar and Start menu is getting 4 pixels taller. Four pixels sounds like the kind of change only a UI/UX designer could love, but screenshots from the Insider Preview build suggest it is visible once you know where to look.

Page, Text, Business Card

Anthropic just launched a usage analytics dashboard for Claude. It’s like the ‘Wrapped’ feature you see every major streaming or AI service announce at the end of a year, except it’s not called Claude Wrapped.

The feature is called Claude Reflect, as it does more than simply tell you what you’ve been using the AI for. Available in beta for free, Pro, and Max users who have enabled memory, the feature encourages mindful use of Claude or other AI tools.
