Why you should buy a Gateway 14.1-inch ultra-slim notebook

The best Black Friday laptop deals mean you can buy something you might not have ordinarily been able to afford. That’s certainly the case with the Gateway 14.1-inch ultra-slim notebook. It’s just made laptop ownership more accessible. While the system may not be from one of the best laptop brands, it’s still worth checking out at this price. You get an Intel Celeron processor along with 4GB of memory and 64GB of eMMC storage. It’s slight on storage space but still means there’s room for it to have Windows 11 in S mode installed on it, proving useful for anyone that relies on Windows-based apps.

The idea is that you use a lot of cloud-based apps which is why a year’s worth of Microsoft 365 is included, so you can also save files to the cloud without an issue. Again, a step away from even the best budget laptops, let alone the best laptops, but fine for daily use.

The Gateway 14.1-inch ultra-slim notebook also has useful extras such as a 1MP webcam for video calls, audio tuned by THX Audio, and a mini HDMI port. It’s pretty sleek for the price too and looks more eye-catching than you would expect. That’s ideal for a student who wants to make an impression in class while keeping costs down.

Normally priced at $229, you can buy the Gateway 14.1-inch ultra-slim notebook from Walmart right now for only $99. A saving of $130 won’t stick around forever and we’re expecting this to be a highly popular Black Friday deal. Buy it now so you don’t miss out.

Satechi Slim EX Wireless Mouse These Are the Mice I'd Recommend for Back-to-School featured

A good mouse doesn't get nearly as much attention as a laptop, but it's one of those upgrades that quietly makes a difference every single day. Whether it's powering through assignments, editing photos, attending online classes, or squeezing in a few rounds of Valorant after lectures, the right mouse can make long hours at a desk far more comfortable. After looking through this year's options, these are the five mice I'd actually recommend for the Back-to-School season. They each serve a different purpose, which means there's something here whether gaming, productivity, or portability is the priority.

Framework is downgrading some Laptop 13 Pro orders after a massive RAM cost spike
Some Laptop 13 Pro buyers will receive less memory than they originally selected
Framework laptop 13 pro in black

Framework delivered rare good news last month when it found a cheaper and better SSD for the Laptop 13 Pro. The situation has now swung sharply in the other direction, as soaring LPCAMM2 costs are forcing the company to change some existing preorder configurations.

Framework says prices from its memory supplier have more than doubled compared to its previous inventory, far beyond the low-to-mid double-digit increase it had expected. The company has enough modules to cover existing orders overall, but not enough in the right mix of 64GB, 32GB, and 16GB capacities.

You might have asked Alexa to do plenty of dumb things over the years, but "figure out which of my washer's 30 cycles actually means cold wash" might not have been one of them.

Turns out, Amazon just built the toolkit that makes exactly that possible, and it's rolling out across a genuinely huge list of brands today.
