Why you should buy the Asus Vivobook 15 laptop

Let’s get this out of the way — at its affordable price, you can’t expect the Asus Vivobook 15 to match the performance of the best laptops. The device, however, will prove to be a trustworthy daily companion for regular tasks such as doing online research and typing documents, as well as watching some streaming shows when you’re taking a break. It runs on the 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, Intel UHD Graphics, and 8GB of RAM, which will be more than enough for these activities. The laptop also ships with a 256GB SSD for ample storage space for your files, and it’s got Windows 11 Home pre-installed.

The Asus Vivobook 15 features a 15.6-inch screen, which isn’t too small to make it difficult to view whatever you’re working on, and isn’t too large to drag down the laptop’s portability. It also only weighs 3.5 pounds, so it’s easy to carry with you wherever you go. The device is equipped with a 720p HD webcam that not only makes you look sharp whenever you join video calls, but also enables the Windows Hello facial recognition system for your files’ protection.

The Asus Vivobook 15 is an affordable laptop with decent performance, and its price is even lower right now with Walmart’s offer. It’s $100 off, bringing it down from $399 to just $299. There’s no telling how much longer this price will remain available, so you’re going to have to hurry with completing your transaction for this device if you want the savings. Add the Asus Vivobook 15 laptop to your cart and finish the checkout process as soon as you can, or you might miss out on this bargain.

AMD just made Ryzen laptop chips even more confusing, but here’s what’s actually new
The refreshed lineup brings more Zen 4 processors to mainstream and budget laptops.
AMD Ryzen 100 and 200 series

AMD has quietly expanded its mobile processor portfolio with 11 new Ryzen laptop processors, adding fresh models under both the Ryzen 200 and Ryzen 100 families. While that sounds straightforward enough, the bigger story isn't the chips themselves -- it's AMD's increasingly confusing naming strategy. The company has introduced seven new Ryzen 200 processors alongside four new Ryzen 100 models, but despite belonging to different series, many of them are actually built on the same Hawk Point silicon featuring Zen 4 CPU cores and RDNA 3 integrated graphics.

OpenAI is killing ChatGPT Atlas browser. I loved it, but it was an uphill race to the top
It was a trailblazer in a few ways, before it was copied down to its skeleton.
ChatGPT Atlas browser on a MacBook.

When OpenAI launched its own web browser, there was plenty of skepticism as to why a frontier AI lab is even bothering with making a browser in the first place. And yet, the company went ahead and launched ChatGPT Atlas with a heavy dosage of AI features built in. Well, the days of browser ambitions are over, and it will be put on cold ice in September this year.

OpenAI says it is sunsetting the short-lived browser in favor of pushing the new ChatGPT work desktop app, which already has a built-in browser as well as a cloud browser for AI agents. And now that ChatGPT is making its way to other browsers, such as Chrome, as an extension, there is little need for maintaining a dedicated browser project of its own.

Windows 11 Search is getting bigger, but only by 4 pixels
The change could be in preparation for the upcoming Ask Copilot feature
Windows 11 Laptop

If you have used Windows 11 Search after the June update, you may have noticed it feels a little less annoying. Microsoft recently made the Start menu and Search more responsive, and also fixed one of Search’s stranger limits by letting it find local files using just two characters.

Now, the company appears to be making a much smaller change. According to Windows Central, Microsoft accidentally revealed that the search box in the Taskbar and Start menu is getting 4 pixels taller. Four pixels sounds like the kind of change only a UI/UX designer could love, but screenshots from the Insider Preview build suggest it is visible once you know where to look.
