We see a lot of laptop deals in our line of work. We also see a ton of tablet deals. Of course, a combination of both device types is what we call a 2-in-1 computer, and there’s one sale that’s getting a lot of love at Best Buy right now. Thanks to a $250 discount, you can take home an HP 14-inch 2-in-1 Chromebook Plus for only $450. Normally priced at $700, it’s hard to say how long this promo will last.

Why you should buy the HP 2-in-1 Chromebook

Chromebook deals can be found just about anywhere, but we do our best to highlight the sales with the best perks. In the case of the HP 2-in-1 Chromebook, we’re working with an Intel i3-powered machine running off 8GB of RAM. Storage wise, there’s up to 256GB to work with. While this may not be the powerhouse PC you’ll use for Adobe Creative Suite multitasking, it’s strong and reliable enough to be a go-to PC at work, school, or on your living room couch.

The 14-inch WUXGA IPS screen packs in a 1920 x 1200 pixel spread. When you’re using your 2-in-1 outside on a bright, sunny day, the display does a decent job of pushing away glare. And while 250 nits isn’t overly bright, the 178-degree viewing angle means you’ll get the best visuals possible from most vantages. Not to mention the touchscreen is Corning Gorilla Glass, one of the most heavy-duty names in the world of device displays.

With HP’s fast charge capability, you’ll be able to go from 0 to 50% battery in 45 minutes. Even if you forgot your charger at home, this Chromebook should deliver up to 10 hours of performance on a full charge. There’s a 2592 x 1944 webcam that you can use for chatting with friends, family, and colleagues; which includes a camera privacy switch for disabling the Chromebook’s video feed.

Google was also kind enough to throw in an entire year of Google One AI Premium. This also nets you an extra 2TB of cloud storage that you can use as you see fit. It’s hard to say how long this markdown will last, so if you’ve been thinking about a new 2-in-1 Chromebook, your wait could be over. The HP 2-in-1 Chromebook Plus is on sale for $450 while this promo lasts.

iFixit wants to fix your appliances next, and it brought a bigger toolkit
iFixit’s new $35 Megalodon wants to save your appliances from the trash
iFixit Megalodon Driver Kit Featured

iFixit built its reputation by showing people how to fix their phones, consoles, and laptops by themselves. But its next target is larger and probably sitting somewhere in your kitchen or laundry room. The company has launched the Megalodon Driver Kit, which is a $34.95 toolkit designed for appliance repairs, furniture assembly, automotive tinkering, and the countless household jobs.

Picture this, your vacuum cleaner may still work perfectly aside from one loose component buried behind a recessed screw. So rather than replace the whole thing, you can make a quick fix with Megalodon.

I found a free Mac diagnostic app that tells you what Apple’s tools don’t
It can check your Mac’s storage, memory, battery, and network

Macs have a strong reputation for being smooth and reliable, and Apple’s tight control over hardware and software is a big reason for that. Use one long enough, however, and you may still run into slowdowns, freezes, strange behavior, or that familiar feeling that something is simply off.

Apple’s own tools can help, but only to a point. Disk Utility is useful for storage-related checks, but it does not give you a wider picture of your Mac’s overall health. I recently came across Techtool Lite, a free diagnostic and maintenance app from Micromat that looks at more than just your drive.
