You should never pass up an opportunity to upgrade your laptop, and with today’s Memorial Day sales, now’s a good time to make a purchase. There’s no shortage of options with this year’s Memorial Day laptop deals, including this offer from the HP Memorial Day sale that applies a $30 discount on the HP 17t, bringing the laptop’s price down to $480 from its original price of $510.

Like with Digital Trends’ best laptops of 2021, you won’t be frustrated by slowdowns and crashes when multitasking between several productivity apps with the HP 17t, as it’s powered by the 11th-generation Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB of RAM, and Intel UHD Graphics. You’ll also enjoy sufficient storage space for the software and files that you need, as the laptop is equipped with a 1TB HDD.

Whether you’re using the laptop for work or school, browsing websites, or watching streaming content, its 17.3-inch HD+ display will make sure that you see and appreciate all the colors and details on the screen. It also comes with the HP True Vision 720p HD webcam with integrated dual-array digital microphones, for participating in virtual meetings and attending online classes. Meanwhile, the HP 17t’s lift-hinge design helps in keeping you comfortable as it elevates the keyboard, for a more natural angle for typing on the keyboard.

The HP 17t weighs just over 5 pounds and is less than an inch thick, so it’s easy to carry around if you’ll need it while you’re on the go. If the laptop runs out of juice, you can quickly get it back up and running with the help of the HP Fast Charge technology, which refills up to 50% of the computer’s battery after just 45 minutes of charging.

If you don’t want Memorial Day to end without purchasing a reliable laptop that will be able to keep up with your daily activities, you should consider the HP 17t. The laptop’s currently available at $30 off, lowering its price to $480 from its original price of $510. There’s no telling when stocks will run out, so if you’re already looking forward to using the HP 17t for work or school, you should click that Buy Now button immediately.

A mouse with a touchscreen just hit Kickstarter, and its feature list borders on insanity
The Super Mouse packs a full keyboard, motion controls, and more shortcuts than anyone could reasonably ask for.
Arctic Fox Super Mouse with touchscreen

The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.

The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.

Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.

"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.

M6 vs. M5 MacBook Pro (14-inch): Should M5 owners even bother?
Faster where it matters. Familiar everywhere else.
MacBook comparison

I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.

However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
