With Dell being one of the best laptop brands, you can’t really go wrong with any laptop from its stable. The Dell XPS 15 continues to be a great laptop. This model has a 13th-generation Intel Core i7-13700H processor while there’s 16GB of memory and 512GB of SSD storage. It looks great too with a 15.6-inch full HD+ screen with a 1920 x 1200 resolution, 500 nits of brightness, and anti-glare properties. The laptop has a great 92.9% screen-to-body ratio while the large touchpad and edge-to-edge backlit keyboard all add to the classiness. The enclosure is sculpted by a CNC machining process with the aluminum chassis looking elegant and pretty robust too. It’s a great all-rounder that’s well-suited to some light content creation, as well as taking to class, or just using on a daily basis as your main laptop.

One of the best laptops for many people, the Dell XPS 17 is a portable powerhouse. It has a 13th-generation Intel Core i7-13700H processor, 16GB of memory, and 512GB of SSD storage. There’s also a dedicated graphics card — the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 — which works well alongside the 17-inch full HD+ screen with 1920 x 1200 resolution, 500 nits of brightness, and anti-glare properties. As with other XPS laptops, there’s a large touchpad along with a backlit keyboard to ensure you’re working in style. Despite the extra screen space, the Dell XPS 17 fits into a 15-inch form factor so it’s more portable than you’d expect. There’s also a superior 93.7% screen-to-body ratio. It’s perfect if you plan on creating content while on the move, including image editing or video editing. It also works very well as a desktop replacement if you’re short on space at home or simply don’t want the bulk of a desktop PC.

The Mac Pro nearly received an M3 Extreme chip twice as powerful as M3 Ultra
High production costs likely killed Apple’s M3 Extreme plans

Apple discontinued the Mac Pro earlier this year, ending a 20-year run for a computer that once represented the very best of the company’s desktop lineup. However, Apple reportedly had much bigger plans for the machine before ultimately replacing it with the Mac Studio.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple developed an M3 Extreme chip that could have offered twice as many CPU and GPU cores as the M3 Ultra. The processor was intended to sit above the Ultra tier and could have finally given the Mac Pro the performance advantage it badly needed. Apple eventually abandoned the chip due to concerns over production costs and limited demand for such an expensive machine.

Hidden prompts can secretly rewrite an AI’s memory, and researchers say that’s a serious problem
Researchers discover AI attack that rewrites an assistant's long-term memory
Chatbot on a smartphone.

Large language models are getting better at remembering us. Whether it's your preferred writing style, recurring tasks, shopping habits or project deadlines, AI assistants are increasingly storing long-term memories to make future conversations feel more personal and useful. But according to new research, that same feature could become one of AI's biggest security vulnerabilities.

Researchers from New Mexico State University have demonstrated a new attack called GhostWriter, capable of secretly planting false memories inside AI agents. Rather than stealing information outright, the attack manipulates what an AI remembers, potentially causing it to make dangerous decisions long after the original attack has taken place.

This experiment shows how easy it is to poison an open-weight AI model for under $100
This research raises new doubts about trusting open weight AI models.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Open-weight AI models have been having a moment lately. Just this month, Moonshot's massive Kimi K3 model landed close behind Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol in several benchmarks, all while remaining fully open-weight and downloadable by anyone.

However, Katie Paxton-Fear, a cybersecurity lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University and staff security advocate at Semgrep, managed to poison an open-weight model and proved how easily that openness can be turned against you (via The Register).
