If you want to upgrade to a laptop with a bigger screen from 13 inches or 14 inches, then you should think about taking advantage of Best Buy’s ongoing offer for the Asus Vivobook 16X. From its original price of $750, it’s down to nearly half at just $400 following a $350 discount. There’s not a lot of time remaining on the bargain though as it expires tonight, but with laptop deals like this, there’s a chance that stocks run out before then. If you want to get the device for this cheap, you need to complete your purchase right now.

Why you should buy the Asus Vivobook 16X

The Asus Vivobook 16X features a 16-inch screen with Full HD resolution for bright colors and sharp details. The laptop is still thin at just 0.78 of an inch, but it sacrifices a bit of portability to make room for this relatively large display, but the extra screen real estate more than makes up for it, as it will come in handy for tasks like managing spreadsheets and making presentations, and for recreational activities such as playing PC games and watching streaming shows.

Beyond its display, the Asus Vivobook 16X laptop is a reliable device that will be able to handle your daily activities with its AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor, AMD Radeon Graphics, and 12GB of RAM. It’s not going to challenge the performance of the best laptops, but it will be more than enough for the regular user. The laptop comes with Windows 11 Home pre-installed in its 512GB SSD, for an operating system that will be familiar to most people, and every purchase will let you access a 30-day trial of Microsoft Office 365.

The Asus Vivobook 16X offers a large screen and dependable performance, so it’s a steal at its discounted price of $400 from Best Buy. You only have until tonight to take advantage of the $350 discount on the laptop’s sticker price of $750 though, but it’s not recommended to wait until the last minute of the sale because stocks may be gone by then. If you want to get the Asus Vivobook 16X for nearly half-price, the only way to make sure of that is to proceed with the transaction immediately.

Quick summary

Two years ago, I had the chance to test out the Viture Pro smart glasses. I was impressed by the chic design and the stunning display units, but there were a few minor hiccups that kept them from becoming an instant buy for XR fans. The asking price of $459, ultimately, made them a tough recommendation for anyone who is not a diehard enthusiast or doesn't have the spare cash to spend. The successor, however, is an altogether different beast.

Your Mac might have a screen sharing problem, and hackers already know about it
A patch is only useful once you install it.
macOS Tahoe 26 public beta running on the M4 MacBook Air 15

If you've been putting off that macOS update sitting in your notifications, this is the week to stop and install it. 

Apple quietly patched a serious screen sharing flaw in macOS earlier this month. While that usually means the issue is resolved, new evidence shows hackers already broke into unpatched Macs, hijacked them, and used them for cryptocurrency mining before the fix shipped.

Building a robot supply chain from scratch takes years that Washington isn't giving anyone.

The FCC has a track record of using its Covered List to squeeze Chinese tech out of American markets, and robots just became its newest target. Foreign-made humanoids, quadrupeds, and even robot vacuums now need to be mostly built in the U.S. to sell here (via Rest of World). 

So what does the new rule actually require?
