If you want to upgrade to a laptop with a bigger screen from 13 inches or 14 inches, then you should think about taking advantage of Best Buy’s ongoing offer for the Asus Vivobook 16X. From its original price of $750, it’s down to nearly half at just $400 following a $350 discount. There’s not a lot of time remaining on the bargain though as it expires tonight, but with laptop deals like this, there’s a chance that stocks run out before then. If you want to get the device for this cheap, you need to complete your purchase right now.

Why you should buy the Asus Vivobook 16X

The Asus Vivobook 16X features a 16-inch screen with Full HD resolution for bright colors and sharp details. The laptop is still thin at just 0.78 of an inch, but it sacrifices a bit of portability to make room for this relatively large display, but the extra screen real estate more than makes up for it, as it will come in handy for tasks like managing spreadsheets and making presentations, and for recreational activities such as playing PC games and watching streaming shows.

Beyond its display, the Asus Vivobook 16X laptop is a reliable device that will be able to handle your daily activities with its AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor, AMD Radeon Graphics, and 12GB of RAM. It’s not going to challenge the performance of the best laptops, but it will be more than enough for the regular user. The laptop comes with Windows 11 Home pre-installed in its 512GB SSD, for an operating system that will be familiar to most people, and every purchase will let you access a 30-day trial of Microsoft Office 365.

The Asus Vivobook 16X offers a large screen and dependable performance, so it’s a steal at its discounted price of $400 from Best Buy. You only have until tonight to take advantage of the $350 discount on the laptop’s sticker price of $750 though, but it’s not recommended to wait until the last minute of the sale because stocks may be gone by then. If you want to get the Asus Vivobook 16X for nearly half-price, the only way to make sure of that is to proceed with the transaction immediately.

Every app on my phone has decided I need AI, and none of them bothered to ask
AI assistants are invading everything from photo libraries to messaging apps, and dismissing them only seems to guarantee they’ll return later.

My wife doesn’t use AI very much. She isn’t philosophically opposed to it, nor is she waiting for the machines to overthrow civilization. She simply opens Google Photos because she wants to look at her photos.

Lately, however, the app keeps greeting her with invitations to try its AI tools. Google would very much like her to search her library conversationally, generate something new, or ask Gemini to edit a photo. She dismisses the prompt, gets on with her life, and eventually meets it again.

Shopping for Back-to-school? These are the gaming laptops I’d recommend
Powerful enough for AAA games, practical enough for everyday lectures, assignments, and everything in between.

Every gamer knows the pain of trying to do too much with the wrong hardware. Back-to-School is the perfect excuse to fix that. A good gaming laptop shouldn’t just hit high frame rates -- it should also survive endless browser tabs, assignments, coding sessions, video edits, and everything else college throws at it. These five machines strike that balance better than most, which is exactly why they’d be my picks this semester.

Google’s AI just recreated the best goal ever by Pele that was never actually filmed

If you look at the AI landscape, a majority of its usage in the film and television industry has been pretty controversial. Bringing dead actors to life on a screen, using AI to record vintage songs that were never completed, or just using it to film scenes or handle any other part of the creative process — the backlash has been pretty vocal. But there are a few slivers of hopeful AI usage, too, and Google just delivered one of those in a heartwarming fashion using Gemini AI.
