The Best Buy Back to School Sale is on as students prepare for the fall. There’s a dizzying amount of items available. From $20 earbuds to a digital shelf of video game offers and a fully-built desktop computer. When first browsing the deals, I even thought I saw a few of our picks for the best robot vacuums. It can all make you wonder what a student really needs. So, we went looking and found this great 2-in-1 laptop, the HP Envy 2-in-1 16-inch 2K Touchscreen Laptop, that should satisfy all of a student’s cravings at a student-affordable price while still making it through to the diploma. Usually $1,170, the laptop is now $409 off, making it just $761. Tap the button below to see it for yourself or keep reading to see why this deal makes so much sense for students.

Why you should buy the HP Envy 2-in-1 16-Inch 2K Touchscreen Laptop

This laptop has a bit of everything, making it really ready for the ups and downs of the college experience. As a 2-in-1 it has the all-business functionality of a laptop, but can fold over into a fun tablet form. With 16GB of RAM you’ll easily be able to handle all the tabs that you’ll certainly be using for homework and nothing else (definitely) and the 1TB of SSD storage will take care of the software needs for most course loads. Depending on how hard you push it, the laptop can pull up to 12 hours off a single charge so you won’t be stuck competing for coveted outlet seat in every lecture. Finally, when you do kick back at the end of a hard day studying to watch some YouTube while it’s folded up like a tablet, the HP Envy 2-in-1 16-inch 2K Touchscreen Laptop does have that 2K screen, so it will look nice.

To grab the HP Envy 2-in-1 16-inch 2K Touchscreen Laptop while it’s just $761, a remarkable $409 lower than the usual $1,170, just tap the button below. This is also a great time to check out the best noise-canceling headphones for the extra focus they allow, especially as the Sony WH-1000XM6 have just recently landed.

OpenAI wants to make ChatGPT safer for teens, and the changes go well beyond a simple content filter. In a new update, the company laid out its stance on why teens should have access to AI in the first place, arguing that keeping them away from it entirely would leave them unprepared for one of the defining technologies of their generation.

Nearly 90% of teens already use ChatGPT weekly for learning, research, or getting organized, which is why OpenAI says access needs to come paired with real protections built for their age.

If you have ever lost a great ChatGPT answer somewhere in your endless chat history, that headache is finally over. OpenAI has rolled out a major search upgrade that lets you find old chats, projects, documents, and images all from one place.

Before this update, the sidebar search only pulled up past conversations, leaving uploaded files, projects, and generated images completely out of reach. The new search option is now available across web, iOS, and Android, on every ChatGPT plan, including free accounts.

Google is making AI Mode in Search more useful by letting you connect third-party apps. Starting this week in the US, you can securely connect some of your go-to apps directly to AI Mode, letting Search actually complete tasks for you instead of just answering questions.

This update builds on a similar trick Google already pulled off inside the Gemini app, and now it is landing in Search itself. The initial rollout includes three launch partners, Instacart, Canva, and YouTube Music, with Google saying more app integrations are on the way.
