If your plan to buy a new laptop from Prime Day deals didn’t pan out, you’ve still got a chance to get the Dell XPS 13 with a $250 discount from Dell. From its original price of $1,399, it’s down to $1,149, but there’s no telling for how much longer. The offer may disappear at any moment, and once it’s gone, we’re not sure when you’ll get another crack at it, so if you think this is the perfect laptop for you, you should take advantage of the savings while the bargain is still online.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 13 laptop

The new Dell XPS 13 following the Dell XPS reset is an ultramodern laptop featuring a striking design, with the 13.4-inch Full HD+ screen surrounded by virtually no bezels, a keyboard with extra large keycaps that are snappy and precise, and a hidden haptic touchpad. The laptop’s build quality is excellent as well, so you don’t have to worry about causing damage to the device as you bring it with you on your daily commute to the office or school.

There’s so much more to the Dell XPS 13 than its style though. Its performance won’t disappoint either. It’s powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and Intel Arc Graphics. It has 16GB of RAM, which our guide on how much RAM do you need says is on the level of top-tier machines. The Dell XPS 13 also offers ample storage for your projects and files on its 512GB SSD, and with Windows 11 Home pre-installed, you can already start using the laptop right after unboxing it and turning it on for the first time.

There are all kinds of laptop deals that are still available post-Prime Day, but here’s what we think could be the best of them all — the new Dell XPS 13 at $250 off, so you’ll only have to pay $1,149 for this powerful and dependable laptop instead of $1,399. We’re not sure how much time is remaining before this offer expires, but we think you should hurry with your purchase as that may happen very soon. Add the Dell XPS 13 to your cart and complete the checkout process immediately to make sure that you get the laptop for cheaper than usual.

Qualcomm is set to ratchet up chip prices in September, and your next gadget upgrade could bear the brunt

The price hike could touch every Snapdragon-powered device category.

The new Qualcomm Snadragon 8 Elite Gen 5

I want you to sit with this for a second. Qualcomm, the company whose Snapdragon chips sit inside your Android phone and tablet, your Windows laptop, your Meta smart glasses, your Galaxy Watch, and your wireless earbuds, reportedly sent a letter to every major customer telling them prices are going up by double digits.

The price hike will be in effect from September 1, 2026, a recent Bloomberg report claims. Essentially, all the companies placing their chip orders after that will pay a higher price.

Stop fighting with your roomie over outlets and get one of these multi-port chargers before you head back to school

One plug, zero drama, all your devices charged by morning.

Satechi ChargeView

Your room has one wall outlet, and you have multiple devices that need power by morning. Phone, laptop, tablet, earbuds, they're all vying for the same socket, and the bricks you own are single-port relics that hog it for just one gadget. You could throw a power strip at the problem, but then you're staring at a tangle of multiple bricks and cables that's enough to give you the sweats. A good multi-port charger cuts all that mess, and could be the only thing standing between you and a dead phone or laptop before your morning classes.

Back-to-school season is a smart time to buy one. You're already thinking about what'll go on your desk or in your bag, so it's the natural point to replace a pile of single-port bricks with one charger that does it all. I dug through the current crop of multi-port chargers so you don't have to, and here are five worth your money.

OpenAI’s rogue AI hack was just the beginning, Hugging Face warns

OpenAI’s rogue AI has come back to bite it

Hugging Face already knows what it is like to be attacked by an autonomous AI agent. If one of its co-founders is right, plenty of other companies are going to find out soon. Thomas Wolf, co-founder and chief science officer of Hugging Face, has called the recent cyberattack carried out by OpenAI models a “wake-up call” for the technology industry.

Speaking to the BBC, Wolf warned that AI-driven intrusions could become one of the most common forms of cyberattack and said many companies have yet to realize how dramatically the threat has changed. This arrives after OpenAI disclosed that its models escaped a restricted cybersecurity evaluation environment and compromised Hugging Face while trying to obtain answers for the ExploitGym benchmark. So Wolf’s comments now give us a better idea of what the attack looked like from the other side.
