Why you should buy the Asus E410 laptop

For its extremely cheap price, you shouldn’t expect the Asus E410 to match the performance of the top-of-the-line models of the best laptops. It’s only got the Intel Celeron N4500 processor and Intel Iris Xe Graphics, with 4GB of RAM that’s only found in low-budget devices, according to our guide on how much RAM do you need. However, for simple schoolwork such as doing online research, typing reports, and joining online classes, this laptop will be more than enough.

The Asus E410 maintains its portability with its 14-inch screen, but the relatively small display is sharp and colorful with its Full HD resolution. The laptop only comes with a 64GB eMMC for storage, but that can be supplemented by cloud storage services for additional storage space for the school year’s files. The Asus E410 ships with Windows 11 Home in S Mode though, for an operating system that will be familiar for most students.

If you can’t wait to buy your child a device from this year’s Labor Day laptop sales, don’t worry because there are already a lot of student laptop deals for tight budgets. A great example is the Asus E410, which is down to an even cheaper price of $110 from Best Buy. The $70 discount on its sticker price of $180 will only stay online for a few more days though, so we highly recommend pushing forward with your transaction for it immediately to make sure that you qualify for the savings.

South Korea wants to give every citizen free access to an AI chatbot with no usage limits. That puts the technology closer to a public utility than another premium service demanding a monthly subscription.

The Ministry of Science and ICT announced the AI for Everyone project on July 13. Private companies will build the platform around locally developed models, while a separate AI agent will help people navigate government services. It’s a more practical job than generating emails or settling arguments nobody wanted to research themselves.

In a joint cybersecurity advisory, the NSA, CISA, FBI, and international partners warn that hackers linked to Center 16 of Russia’s Federal Security Service are continuing to target vulnerable networking equipment. Energy, healthcare, and government networks are among the sectors facing the highest risk.
