You’d be surprised how many gaming laptop deals land on our screens on a daily basis. While we do our best to draw attention to budget-friendly offerings, we know there’s a core part of our readership that needs the fastest and most robust hardware on the market. That’s why today we’re pulling back the curtain on this once-in-a-blue-moon Best Buy offer:

The Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 Gaming Laptop has officially hit clearance status and has been discounted to $1,755 from $1,950. Our reviewer, Jacob Roach, specifically called out the RTX 4090 as being too expensive for the modest increase in performance that it offered in the Zephyrus M16. You don’t have to worry about that with this offer — more details below.

Instead of entering a few keywords and scrolling through a standard list of results, users can ask YouTube a complete question. The feature is designed for broader searches where the exact video, channel, or topic may not already be clear.

Meta’s detection tool fails to identify photos generated by its own Muse Image AI
Meta has created an invisible watermarking tool called Content Seal that is embedded in all images generated by the Muse Image AI.
Meta AI identification tool.

Earlier this week, Meta announced two new AI products, namely, Muse Image and Muse Video. As the name suggests, these are generative AI tools for making photos and video clips using natural language text prompts. Soon after their rollout commenced, these tools sparked controversy because Meta had automatically opted in Instagram users, allowing others to use their publicly posted media and convert them into remixed AI content. But it appears that Meta courted another loss on its side of the court.

AI Studio lets you assign a deployed web app a personalized address under the “ai.studio” domain, such as “your-app-name.ai.studio.” A recognizable URL should make the project look more presentable in a portfolio, client demo, social post, or internal project page.
