If you’re planning to take advantage of this year’s best Black Friday deals to purchase a new computer from the Black Friday laptop deals, you can already start your shopping because certain retailers have rolled out their discounts for the holiday. For a reliable laptop below $400, you don’t need to look beyond the early Staples Black Friday deals, which include a $60 discount for the Asus VivoBook 15, bringing its price down to $390 from its original price of $450.

The Asus VivoBook 15 is powered by the Intel Core i3 processor and 4GB of RAM, which makes it more than capable of performing basic functions such as doing research on the internet, watching streaming content, and attending online meetings. It’s a joy to work on the laptop’s 15.6-inch Full HD screen, which looks even larger because of the very slim bezels, providing an 88% screen-to-body ratio.

The laptop features an ErgoLift hinge, which raises the Asus VivoBook 15 when it’s open, tilting the keyboard into a more comfortable position for typing. The ergonomic keyboard, meanwhile, comes with a fingerprint sensor for added security. It’s also protected with the Asus BacGuard anti-bacterial treatment, which is scientifically proven to prevent the growth of bacteria by more than 99% over a period of 24 hours. This helps reduce the spread of harmful bacteria, which is an important feature to have these days.

We don’t usually see offers below $400 for laptops that are powerful and dependable, so you shouldn’t ignore Staples’ discount for the Asus VivoBook 15. It’s on sale at $60 off, which lowers its price to $390 from its original price of $450. It’s unclear when the retailer will pull out the deal, so if you need a new laptop that won’t break the bank, you should click that Buy Now button immediately for the Asus VivoBook 15.

Google finally lets you turn any website into an app on Googlebook
Google heard your complaints, and now every website can be an app on your Googlebook.
Using the HP Googlebook

Googlebook users, rejoice. Google is rolling out a Chrome update that turns any website into a web app, and you have the community to thank for it.

When Googlebook first arrived, Chrome was picky about which sites you could install. Only websites that developers had set up as web apps got the Install option. Everything else ended up as a shortcut that simply launched a browser tab.

DigUp lets users find Mac files by describing them, not remembering their names
Can't remember where that screenshot, PDF or recording went? Just describe it and let AI do the digging.

There's a particular kind of frustration that comes with knowing a file exists somewhere on a computer but having absolutely no idea what it's called. Was that screenshot saved as IMG_4837? Which PDF contained that clause? And where did that podcast recording mention the thing worth remembering? DigUp wants to end the filename guessing game, letting Mac users search for files by describing what they remember instead. The free, open-source app uses Google's EmbeddingGemma 2 to search across photos, documents, PDFs, audio recordings and videos, all without sending personal files to the cloud.
