The Dell Latitude 7640 Laptop.
Dell

Dell laptop deals are starting to get ever-more aggressive in the lead-up to the back-to-school season, but not every PC purchased in the summer months should be just for students. Scouting the greater world of laptop deals, we actually came across a phenomenal Dell offer that business owners and higher-ups are going to want to see: For a limited time, Dell has marked down its incredible Dell Latitude 7640 Laptop to $1,400. That’s $800 off the normal selling price of $2,280. Why is the Latitude Series so expensive, even after the discount? Because it’s one of the most powerful PCs of its class.

Why you should buy the Dell Latitude 7640

Purely from a specs perspective, one can tell that the Latitude 7640 means business (pun intended). Equipped with an Intel Core i7-1365U that pushes max clock speeds of 5.2GHz, and integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, running Windows 11 Pro on the Latitude 7640 is an absolute dream-come-true. Apps, games, and browser windows open fast and perform remarkably. This smoothness is further aided by the Latitude’s 32GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

If you think you’ll be hooking this bad boy up to an external monitor (check out our awesome list of monitor deals), you’ll have plenty of ports to do so with; including USB-C, USB-A, and HDMI 2.0. But if you decide to stick with the Latitude’s display, you’ll still be getting a 16-inch FHD+ (1,920 x 1,200) IPS screen that pushes up to 250 nits. It’s not the kind of panel you’re going to want to watch your favorite UHD movies and shows on, but it more than gets the job done as a cubicle companion or office screen.

We’re also big fans of the ExpressCharge battery analytics tech. This prevents the Latitude 7640 from overcharging itself, but provides a sufficient energy boost to your laptop when the battery is running low. And weighing only 4.05 pounds, the Latitude is light enough to carry to and from work on a daily basis. 

We’re not sure how long this price is going to last, so if you’re in need of a new business laptop, score the Dell Latitude 7640 for only $1,400 when you buy through Dell today!

MIT researchers found a new Spectre attack that can slip past Intel and AMD defenses

Spectre has been haunting CPU security since 2018, and MIT researchers have now found another way to make it misbehave. The new TONTOU attack can bypass some of the defenses Intel and AMD have added over the years by exploiting a tiny gap in how those protections work. The research comes from Daniël Trujillo and Mengjia Yan at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). Their findings show that even after a processor wipes or isolates information used by its branch predictor, there can be a brief window before that information is actually used. TONTOU, short for Time-of-Neutralization to Time-of-Use, attacks precisely that gap.

Microsoft accidentally gave Windows 11 users another OneDrive app, and you can’t easily remove it
Microsoft says the wider-than-intended rollout was an accident, but removing the app currently means removing OneDrive too.

Windows 11 users have been getting a new OneDrive app whether they asked for it or not. The problem? Microsoft says it wasn't supposed to happen. Microsoft has confirmed that its OneDrive Photos app was rolled out to Windows 11 PCs more broadly than intended, including enterprise machines where the app isn't even designed to work. The company says it is now working on a fix, but there's an awkward catch: users currently can't uninstall OneDrive Photos without removing the main OneDrive app too.

So, what exactly got installed?

Apple Reminders sucked for project management until I learned this feature
Your checklist deserves better. Here's how to turn Reminders into a proper Kanban board.
Apple reminders on Mac

For the longest time, I used Apple Reminders only for capturing quick tasks. Thanks to its Siri integration, Reminders let me add tasks quickly so nothing would fall through the cracks. However, when it came to managing big projects, I always moved to a more powerful task manager like OmniFocus or Things 3. 

That changed the day I stumbled onto the Column view. Apple added this feature with the iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma updates, and somehow I completely missed it. But once I discovered and got the hang of it, Reminders finally started to feel like a real project management tool instead of a glorified sticky note.
