As the best Labor Day sales approach, online retailers are gearing up with solid discounts on all sorts of big-ticket items like computers. Dell has a number of sweet deals going right now on a variety of its best laptops, including the Inspiron 15 3000 series. One of the best offers we found is for the 15.6-inch AMD Ryzen variant with 8GB memory and 256GB internal storage, which you can score for only $450 — a cool 21% off its usual $570 price tag. Though there are many other Labor Day laptop deals where this one came from.

Under the hood, this Dell laptop packs a midrange mobile processor called AMD Ryzen 5 2500U. This chipset is the equivalent of the Intel Core i5 in CPU performance but is better in terms of graphics. Paired with the Radeon Vega 8 Graphics and 8GB of RAM, it allows you to switch back and forth between open applications without an issue. All in all, performance is superb and speedy enough for everyday computing activities, such as multimedia organization, surfing the web, and Microsoft Office tasks.

For visuals, this unit flaunts a 15.6-inch HD anti-glare LED-backlit display with a resolution of 1,366 x 768. Dell kicked things up by outfitting the laptop with its Cinema software. There’s the CinemaColor to boost the display’s vibrancy, details, and contrast levels; the Cinema Streaming for a seamless and stutter-free experience for both videos and music; and the Cinema Sound for studio-quality audio with clear tones at any volume.

This Inspiron 15 3000 model boasts a compact and lightweight profile that is equally suited for the dorm room, the office, and travel. For a thin package, it’s built with a bunch of ports and slots which enable convenient file sharing and connectivity. There’s an SD card reader, a USB Type 2.0 port, and an optical disk drive on the right side; and on the left, you’ll see an HDMI port, two USB Type 3.0 ports, an RJ45 port, and a headphone and microphone audio jack.

If you’re looking for a no-frills computer that can sail you through your everyday productivity and entertainment needs, this Dell Inspiron 15 3000 laptop is an excellent pick. You can order the 15.6-inch AMD Ryzen variant with 8GB memory and 256GB internal storage at a discounted price of $450 on Dell’s website.

I found a free Mac diagnostic app that tells you what Apple’s tools don’t
It can check your Mac’s storage, memory, battery, and network

Macs have a strong reputation for being smooth and reliable, and Apple’s tight control over hardware and software is a big reason for that. Use one long enough, however, and you may still run into slowdowns, freezes, strange behavior, or that familiar feeling that something is simply off.

Apple’s own tools can help, but only to a point. Disk Utility is useful for storage-related checks, but it does not give you a wider picture of your Mac’s overall health. I recently came across Techtool Lite, a free diagnostic and maintenance app from Micromat that looks at more than just your drive.

Claude redefined my bond with Macs. I am building my own apps and it’s a bliss.
I talk to Claude. It builds me apps. It's as simple as that!

A few days ago, one of my colleagues asked me a favor. They wanted a few iOS and macOS screenshots turned into a mockup image where the UI is rendered on an iPhone and a MacBook. The problem? It was 3 am PST, which meant asking one of my design team colleagues was out of the question. 

Now, there are plenty of online tools that will do it, but you either have to pay for a subscription (as in Canva), or sign up to buy usage credits after a few free trials. Moreover, these editors limit you to a handful of design presets. I turned to Anthropic’s Claude, and within half an hour, I had a screenshot-to-mockup editor built for the entire team to use. Take a look:
