The extremely popular Dell Inspiron 15, which holds a rating of 4.3 stars out of 5 stars on Dell’s website after more than 13,000 reviews, is currently available with a $100 discount that brings its price down to just $500 from $600 originally. The offer probably means there will be even more people using this laptop, but with the expected surge in sales, we’re not sure how much time remains before its price goes back to normal. If you want the savings with your purchase, you better complete the transaction as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the Dell Inspiron 15 laptop

The Dell Inspiron 15 isn’t going to challenge the premium configurations of the best laptops in terms of performance, but it’s going to be more than enough as your daily companion for completing your tasks for work or school. Inside the device are the 12th-generation Intel Core i7 processor and Intel Iris Xe Graphics, with 16GB of RAM that’s the same as top-tier machines, according to our guide on how much RAM do you need. The Dell Inspiron 15 runs on Windows 11 Home, which is an operating system that will be familiar for most people, and it’s got a 512GB SSD that will provide ample storage for your files.

Working on projects and watching streaming shows will be easy on the eyes with the Dell Inspiron 15’s 15.6-inch Full HD screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, as it features Dell’s ComfortView software that minimizes harmful blue light emissions. The laptop has also gone through military-grade testing to ensure its durability, and its built-in Trusted Platform Module will protect your data.

Not all laptop deals will give you fantastic value, but you certainly can’t say that about this one — the popular Dell Inspiron 15 at $100 off from Dell, lowering its price from $600 to only $500. That’s an excellent price for a laptop of this caliber, but if that’s what you want to pay for it, you’ll have to act fast. The Dell Inspiron 15 may be back to its regular price as soon as tomorrow, so there’s no time to think about it. Push forward with your purchase of the laptop immediately to make sure that you don’t let this opportunity slip through your fingers.

Qualcomm is set to ratchet up chip prices in September, and your next gadget upgrade could bear the brunt

The price hike could touch every Snapdragon-powered device category.

The new Qualcomm Snadragon 8 Elite Gen 5

I want you to sit with this for a second. Qualcomm, the company whose Snapdragon chips sit inside your Android phone and tablet, your Windows laptop, your Meta smart glasses, your Galaxy Watch, and your wireless earbuds, reportedly sent a letter to every major customer telling them prices are going up by double digits.

The price hike will be in effect from September 1, 2026, a recent Bloomberg report claims. Essentially, all the companies placing their chip orders after that will pay a higher price.

Stop fighting with your roomie over outlets and get one of these multi-port chargers before you head back to school

One plug, zero drama, all your devices charged by morning.

Satechi ChargeView

Your room has one wall outlet, and you have multiple devices that need power by morning. Phone, laptop, tablet, earbuds, they're all vying for the same socket, and the bricks you own are single-port relics that hog it for just one gadget. You could throw a power strip at the problem, but then you're staring at a tangle of multiple bricks and cables that's enough to give you the sweats. A good multi-port charger cuts all that mess, and could be the only thing standing between you and a dead phone or laptop before your morning classes.

Back-to-school season is a smart time to buy one. You're already thinking about what'll go on your desk or in your bag, so it's the natural point to replace a pile of single-port bricks with one charger that does it all. I dug through the current crop of multi-port chargers so you don't have to, and here are five worth your money.

OpenAI’s rogue AI hack was just the beginning, Hugging Face warns

OpenAI’s rogue AI has come back to bite it

Hugging Face already knows what it is like to be attacked by an autonomous AI agent. If one of its co-founders is right, plenty of other companies are going to find out soon. Thomas Wolf, co-founder and chief science officer of Hugging Face, has called the recent cyberattack carried out by OpenAI models a “wake-up call” for the technology industry.

Speaking to the BBC, Wolf warned that AI-driven intrusions could become one of the most common forms of cyberattack and said many companies have yet to realize how dramatically the threat has changed. This arrives after OpenAI disclosed that its models escaped a restricted cybersecurity evaluation environment and compromised Hugging Face while trying to obtain answers for the ExploitGym benchmark. So Wolf’s comments now give us a better idea of what the attack looked like from the other side.
