It’s easy to fall into the trap of using the same laptop for years. Sure, it might be a little slow, the apps don’t work quite the way you want, and it sometimes crashes and eats up what you’re working on, but there’s nothing really wrong with it…right? Dump all that invisible stress that your old craptop causes for you day after day by taking advantage of this post-Prime Big Deal Days deal on an Apple 2022 MacBook Air for 25% off.

One Of The Best Apple Laptops

You probably don’t need me to sell you on the benefits of a MacBook, but as a long-time tech writer with years of experience writing about Apple products, I’ll do it anyway. This MacBook Air’s 13.6-inch display is the perfect size for daily use, as it’s compact enough to easily fit in a low-profile bag. Its 8GB of RAM is quick enough to run all the programs you need for your daily life, and its 256 GB solid-state drive is blazing fast compared to a traditional hard drive. 18 hours of battery life is certainly nothing to scoff at, and the HD Retina display shows you everything in crisp, beautiful colors.

But you don’t have to take my word for it. In Digital Trends’ Apple MacBook Air M2 review, reviewer Luke Larsen praised the laptop’s “shockingly good performance” and its physical hardware, especially its upgraded webcam, speakers, screen, and keyboard. He praised it as one of the best laptops on the market, up there with the MacBook Air 13-inch M3, the MacBook Pro 14-inch, and the HP Laptop 15.

The Apple MacBook Air’s thinness isn’t just a gimmick: This is a highly capable machine that will give you significantly better performance than many other laptops at this price point. And at 25% off, you can pick it up for less than $1,000, which is a screaming deal. It’s time to finally say goodbye to your faithful old work laptop and buy a sleek device that you’ll actually look forward to using day in and day out.

OpenAI patches ChatGPT desktop after user backlash over its recent redesign
ChatGPT's desktop app gets synced history, projects, and a new Chat and Work mode switch

ChatGPT's desktop app is getting a much-needed course correction. When OpenAI merged Chat, Work, and Codex into one unified desktop app roughly a week ago, the experience came with more issues than intended, burying basic features like chat history and making it awkward to switch between modes. Now OpenAI has rolled out a batch of fixes based on feedback to make the app feel consistent regardless of which device you use.

I found five mechanical keyboards I’d happily recommend for Back-to-School
The right mechanical keyboard makes every assignment, game, and study session feel a little more satisfying.
Computer, Computer Hardware, Computer Keyboard

Shopping for a mechanical keyboard is a little different from shopping for a laptop. Unlike flashy specs or benchmark numbers, the right keyboard is something that gets appreciated every single day. Whether it’s taking notes in class, writing essays, coding late into the night, or unwinding with a few games after lectures. After looking through dozens of options, I kept coming back to these five. They cover everything from budget-friendly beginner boards to enthusiast-grade keyboards and esports-focused gaming options. More importantly, they’re keyboards I’d actually recommend buying for the Back-to-School season.

If you've ever purchased printer ink, you're aware of the annoyingly expensive cost behind something that seems so basic. But HP's latest problem goes considerably further. India’s Competition Commission has fined HP India and 21 of its resellers a combined 1.42 billion rupees, or roughly $15 million, after finding that they rigged bids for government contracts involving personal computers, toner, cartridges, and other printer supplies. The orders cover tenders placed through the Government e-Marketplace between 2017 and 2020.
