You should never pass up an opportunity to upgrade your laptop, and with today’s Memorial Day sales, now’s a good time to make a purchase. There’s no shortage of options with this year’s Memorial Day laptop deals, including this offer from the HP Memorial Day sale that applies a $30 discount on the HP 17t, bringing the laptop’s price down to $480 from its original price of $510.

Like with Digital Trends’ best laptops of 2021, you won’t be frustrated by slowdowns and crashes when multitasking between several productivity apps with the HP 17t, as it’s powered by the 11th-generation Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB of RAM, and Intel UHD Graphics. You’ll also enjoy sufficient storage space for the software and files that you need, as the laptop is equipped with a 1TB HDD.

Whether you’re using the laptop for work or school, browsing websites, or watching streaming content, its 17.3-inch HD+ display will make sure that you see and appreciate all the colors and details on the screen. It also comes with the HP True Vision 720p HD webcam with integrated dual-array digital microphones, for participating in virtual meetings and attending online classes. Meanwhile, the HP 17t’s lift-hinge design helps in keeping you comfortable as it elevates the keyboard, for a more natural angle for typing on the keyboard.

The HP 17t weighs just over 5 pounds and is less than an inch thick, so it’s easy to carry around if you’ll need it while you’re on the go. If the laptop runs out of juice, you can quickly get it back up and running with the help of the HP Fast Charge technology, which refills up to 50% of the computer’s battery after just 45 minutes of charging.

If you don’t want Memorial Day to end without purchasing a reliable laptop that will be able to keep up with your daily activities, you should consider the HP 17t. The laptop’s currently available at $30 off, lowering its price to $480 from its original price of $510. There’s no telling when stocks will run out, so if you’re already looking forward to using the HP 17t for work or school, you should click that Buy Now button immediately.

Apple's MacBook lineup could soon resemble a restaurant menu with 17 different ways to order a burger. The company is expanding its laptop range across more price points, performance levels, and display technologies, with OLED touchscreens potentially bringing another premium tier into the mix. That's great news for buyers who want options, but Apple's product lineup could use a little decluttering before things get silly.

Moonshot is clipping Kimi AI’s hacking wings before letting it loose
Moonshot AI

Chinese AI startup Moonshot AI is deliberately limiting the hacking capabilities of its latest artificial intelligence model, highlighting a growing dilemma for the industry: how do companies make AI more powerful without making cyberattacks easier to carry out?

The company introduced Kimi K3.1 Pro on October 24, describing it as a highly capable, open-weight model with around 3 trillion parameters. Unlike conventional AI services that operate entirely through a provider's servers, open-weight models allow developers to download the underlying model files, run them on their own systems, and modify how they work.

AI mode in Google Search

There’s no such thing as a free recommendation. Google’s latest policy tweak is a clear reminder. Google has long promised that your Gmail, Drive, and Google Photos content never helps it personalize ads. 

However, since October 16, 2026, its privacy policy adds a catch. The promise lapses if you let other ad-showing Google services use that content. That means using Personal Intelligence, an opt-in tool that lets Google’s AI search read your connected apps, does exactly that (via Google).
