Why you should buy the Dell Inspiron 15

At this price, you might worry you’re not buying quality, but Dell is one of the best laptop brands so you’re in good hands here. With the Dell Inspiron 15, you get a basic but highly functional laptop. It has a 12th-generation Intel Core i3-1215U processor along with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. None of that is particularly impressive, but it’s a strong mix with no obvious weak points in this price range. You simply wouldn’t expect more RAM at this price, for instance.

For the screen, there’s a 15.6-inch full HD display, which is fairly good for this price. It has a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 with 250 nits of brightness. It’s LED-backlit, has anti-glare properties, and it has narrow borders to keep it looking sleek. Adding to the attention to detail, the Dell Inspiron 15 also has roomy keycaps and a spacious touchpad. It’s designed well for work purposes, right down to its ComfortView software that reduces harmful blue light emissions.

At this price, you’ll never get one of the best laptops, but that doesn’t have to stop you entirely from missing out on quality. The Dell Inspiron 15 prides itself on nice additions like tiny rubber feet and bumpers on the hinge to keep it stable as you work.

The Dell Inspiron 15 is a great starter laptop or one for students on a budget. It normally costs $380, but today you can buy it from Amazon for $270. The $110 saving won’t be around forever, so if it sounds like a good buy to you, buy it now before you miss out.

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.
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

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.
