Best Buy continues to offer some fantastic laptop deals with a huge $300 off the HP Envy 2-in-1 16-inch 2K Touchscreen laptop. It normally costs $900 but right now, you can buy it for just $600 which is a fantastic price for a laptop with such a good screen. It’d make the perfect gift for someone but also it’s simply a good laptop for all your working needs. Here’s a quick overview of what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the HP Envy 2-in-1 laptop

HP is one of the best laptop brands around and it has a particular penchant for making some of the best 2-in-1 laptops. With this HP Envy 2-in-1 laptop, you get some great hardware. It has an Intel Core Ultra 5 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. For this price, you can’t really go wrong with these specs.

However, the big highlight (in every sense of the word) is the display. It has a 16-inch 2K touchscreen display with great color accuracy and wider viewing angles. It looks great and as a 2-in-1 laptop, you can switch over to using it as a tablet any time you prefer that method. Perfect if you can’t decide whether you need a laptop or a tablet.

Other useful features include having Copilot built in so you have all the benefits of the many AI features that Windows now offers. The HP Envy 2-in-1 also has a 5MP IR webcam, Thunderbolt 4 ports, HP Audio Boost, and it even has a backlit keyboard. The webcam has a privacy shutter any time you need some guaranteed downtime too. With a 90.7% screen-to-body ratio, the HP Envy 2-in-1 comes together to offer some features that may not quite make it one of the best laptops but it certainly helps matters at this price range.

Packed with a lot of things to love, the HP Envy 2-in-1 laptop is a great laptop for many purposes. It’s a good gift for sure, but also if you need a new system for work, you’ll really appreciate it too. It normally costs $900 but it’s down to $600 for a limited time at Best Buy so this is the time to buy. Take a look for yourself via the button below.

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

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).
