Acronym Laptop Tote Bag stays upright with center laptop sleeve

Everyone needs a tote bag that can hold all the daily essentials, plus a laptop and a few extra gadgets. If you’re someone who shuns the more traditional leather briefcase look, this bag from the Acronym Spring/Summer 2011 collection might fit the bill for a sportier, but still sophisticated, version. The Acronym Laptop Tote Bag (about $590) is not shy on style, but sticks with clean lines and a dark color palette that would be suitable for everything from a casual business meeting to a trip to the gym or day at the beach. The medium- to large-sized bag is made from Dimension Polyant Superlight X-Pac with Cordura 500d abrasion reinforcements for durability and long wear.

The most ingenious element of this deceptively simple bag can’t be seen from the outside. Instead of placing its removable 15-inch laptop pouch to one side, which as we all know, causes the whole bag to tip over if you’re not careful, Acronym has placed the protective laptop sleeve in the perfect center of the bag. Not only is this the most protected spot for your computer, but having the sleeve in the center also balances the bag so it will actually stand up, regardless of what else you throw in there. The tote bag also has a zip-top closure and a removable 25mm stabilization strap for cycling.

This 17-inch HP laptop is on sale for just $300 — but hurry!

The HP 17t-cn300 17.3-inch laptop against a white background.

If you want to buy a laptop with a relatively large screen, the good news is that you don't have to break the bank with your purchase because you can get the HP Laptop 17t for a very affordable $300. It's on sale from HP with a $200 discount on its original price of $500, but there's no telling how much time is remaining before this offer expires. We don't think it will stay available for long because laptop deals like this almost always get sold out quickly, so complete the transaction as soon as possible to make sure that you don't miss out on the savings.

Why you should buy the HP Laptop 17t
With the 17.3-inch display of the HP Laptop 17t, you'll have a lot of screen real estate to work on your projects and watch streaming shows. It's pretty affordable for a laptop with this large screen, which offers HD+ resolution for sharp details and vibrant colors. However, despite its big display, the HP Laptop 17t maintains portability because it's only 0.78 of an inch thick, which makes it easy to slide into your bag when you're on the go, and it won't be too heavy to carry around because it only weighs about 4.6 pounds.

What to do if your Intel CPU keeps crashing

Pins on Core i9-12900K.

Despite being among the best processors you can buy, some high-end Intel CPUs have faced a wave of instability over the past few months. Intel is investigating the problem, but the company and its motherboard partners have already worked toward some temporary fixes to improve stability on high-end Intel CPUs -- even if it comes at a performance cost.

Before getting into the fixes, keep in mind that they are temporary. Intel will release a statement on the instability soon, likely with more direct guidance on what affected users should do. In addition, the scope of the problem isn't clear -- if you're not experiencing issues, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
