Chromebooks are generally cheaper than their Windows-based counterparts, and they’re even more affordable with this year’s Cyber Monday deals. That’s right, Black Friday may already be over, but there are still deals to be had. So if you’re in the market for a new Chromebook, here’s an offer to consider — Best Buy’s $80 discount for the Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook, which pulls its price down to $99 from its original price of $179. You won’t always see a Chromebook on sale for less than $100 these days, so complete the transaction now so that you won’t miss this opportunity. And time is actually of the essence for this particular deal: There is a countdown listed for it, and this deal ends in about 20 hours. So this deal might not even make it to Cyber Monday. If you need a new Chromebook, act now!

Why you should buy the Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook

The Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook is equipped with the MediaTek MT8183 processor, integrated ARM-based Graphics, and 4GB of RAM. These specifications look a little weak on paper, especially compared to the components of the best laptops, but the Chromebook is still capable of providing snappy performance because of Google’s Chrome OS. The operating system utilizes web-based apps instead of installed software, resulting in low overhead. The Chromebook also only has a 64GB eMMC for storage, but that wouldn’t be a problem because you can save your files on the cloud.

Further adding value to the Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook is the fact that it’s a 2-in-1 laptop, which our laptop buying guide describes as a combination of the convenience of a tablet and the utility of a laptop’s keyboard. This is possible through the 360-degree hinges attaching the 11.6-inch HD touchscreen to the device’s body. Opening the display gets it into laptop mode, and folding it all the way back changes the device into tablet mode — and you can choose the form to use with the Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook depending on the situation.

Are other laptop deals still too expensive for you? Then set your sights on the Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook, which is still available even now that Black Friday has ended, with an $80 discount that lowers its price to just $99 from its sticker price of $179. Here’s your chance to buy a 2-in-1 Chromebook for less than $100, but you’ll need to hurry if you want to grab the offer because as we mentioned Best Buy has a literal countdown for it that says the deal will end in less than 24 hours.

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.

OpenAI patches ChatGPT desktop after user backlash over its recent redesign
ChatGPT's desktop app gets synced history, projects, and a new Chat and Work mode switch
Man using ChatGPT on a laptop

ChatGPT's desktop app is getting a much-needed course correction. When OpenAI merged Chat, Work, and Codex into one unified desktop app roughly a week ago, the experience came with more issues than intended, burying basic features like chat history and making it awkward to switch between modes. Now OpenAI has rolled out a batch of fixes based on feedback to make the app feel consistent regardless of which device you use.

The right mechanical keyboard makes every assignment, game, and study session feel a little more satisfying.
Computer, Computer Hardware, Computer Keyboard

Shopping for a mechanical keyboard is a little different from shopping for a laptop. Unlike flashy specs or benchmark numbers, the right keyboard is something that gets appreciated every single day. Whether it’s taking notes in class, writing essays, coding late into the night, or unwinding with a few games after lectures. After looking through dozens of options, I kept coming back to these five. They cover everything from budget-friendly beginner boards to enthusiast-grade keyboards and esports-focused gaming options. More importantly, they’re keyboards I’d actually recommend buying for the Back-to-School season.
