Why you should buy the Asus Vivobook S 16 laptop

One of the main selling points of the Asus Vivobook S 16 is its OLED display, which is only found in a few of the best laptops. The 16-inch screen features 3.2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, so you’ll be able to work on your projects and watch streaming shows while enjoying sharp details and lifelike colors. The display is large enough to see everything well, but it’s not too big to make it a hassle to carry with you when you’re on the go.

The Asus Vivobook S 16 is also pretty quick, with its Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and Intel Arc Graphics combining with 16GB of RAM that’s the sweet spot for most people, according to our laptop buying guide. The device also comes with a 1TB SSD, which offers ample storage space for your software and files, and with Windows 11 Home out of the box, you can start using the Asus Vivobook S 16 right after you turn it on for the first time.

For a laptop that’s both gorgeous and powerful, you can’t go wrong with the Asus Vivobook S 16. It’s available from Staples for a relatively affordable price of $800, for savings of $300 on its sticker price of $1,100. You need to act fast though, as the stocks that are up for sale may run out at any moment. If you want to secure your own Asus Vivobook S 16 laptop for a much lower price than usual, you have to push through with your transaction for the device as soon as you can.

Every app on my phone has decided I need AI, and none of them bothered to ask
AI assistants are invading everything from photo libraries to messaging apps, and dismissing them only seems to guarantee they’ll return later.

My wife doesn’t use AI very much. She isn’t philosophically opposed to it, nor is she waiting for the machines to overthrow civilization. She simply opens Google Photos because she wants to look at her photos.

Lately, however, the app keeps greeting her with invitations to try its AI tools. Google would very much like her to search her library conversationally, generate something new, or ask Gemini to edit a photo. She dismisses the prompt, gets on with her life, and eventually meets it again.

Shopping for Back-to-school? These are the gaming laptops I’d recommend
Powerful enough for AAA games, practical enough for everyday lectures, assignments, and everything in between.

Every gamer knows the pain of trying to do too much with the wrong hardware. Back-to-School is the perfect excuse to fix that. A good gaming laptop shouldn’t just hit high frame rates -- it should also survive endless browser tabs, assignments, coding sessions, video edits, and everything else college throws at it. These five machines strike that balance better than most, which is exactly why they’d be my picks this semester.

If you look at the AI landscape, a majority of its usage in the film and television industry has been pretty controversial. Bringing dead actors to life on a screen, using AI to record vintage songs that were never completed, or just using it to film scenes or handle any other part of the creative process — the backlash has been pretty vocal. But there are a few slivers of hopeful AI usage, too, and Google just delivered one of those in a heartwarming fashion using Gemini AI.
