If you are looking for one of the best laptops this sale has to offer, look no further than this Spectre model. HP recently came out with the 2019 Spectre x360 laptop and we liked it enough to give it an astounding 10 out of 10 in our review. The configuration being discounted in this sale is actually the 2018 iteration of that same computer, however, which is why the price has dropped so significantly. Don’t let it’s age fool you, though, this 2018 2-in-1 laptop is still a really good piece of tech. With an Intel Core i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB SSD, this convertible laptop will still work great.

Normally priced at $1,240 direct from the HP website, a $350 discount drops the price down to just $890 for a limited time.

Chatbots have one talent I can't stop noticing: they sound sure, even when they're wrong. Usually, that's merely annoying. When someone's safety is on the line, it's dangerous.
