With back-to-school season approaching for many students, the best Labor Day sales are a great chance to jump ahead to save on popular laptops and other great tech. That’s why, for a limited time only, HP is currently discounting some of its best laptops and desktops, and selling the Spectre X360 convertible for $950.

Usually retailing for $1,150, HP’s Labor Day sale is cutting $200 off the price of the Spectre X360 13t. With its solid productivity performance, battery life, and exotic look, this Windows 10 2-in-1 convertible is a favorite of ours. It also is why HP is one of our best laptop brands.

For one of the lowest-ever prices of $950, the new Spectre x360 comes configured with the Intel Core i5-8265U processor and 8GB of RAM. As we highlighted in our review, that makes the laptop a great choice for day-to-day web browsing, and any productivity tasks. It also features a 13.3-inch edge-to-edge FHD display with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080. That is ideal for watching movies in any of the four convertible modes. Elsewhere, this model is configured with 256GB of PCIe storage, which we found was competitive with other 2-in-1s.

If you’re looking to step up the productivity a bit, you can also configure this model with up to 16GB of RAM, or the Intel Core i7-8565U processor for an additional $250. For brighter visuals, HP even offers an upgrade to a 4K panel for an extra $100.

In the event that you want a Windows 10 2-in-1 convertible with a bigger screen, HP still has you covered with its Labor Day sale. Alongside the 13-inch Spectre X360, an older model of the 15-inch version of the X360 is also discounted.

Priced at $700, the HP Spectre x360 15t comes configured with the Intel Core i7-8565U processor, 8GB of RAM a 265GB of M.2 solid-state drive. The display features the same edge-to-edge glass panel, but at 15.6 inches, it is much more spacious for productivity.

Dell and Lenovo are also holding similar sales for Labor Day. Dell’s sales cover the popular Inspiron and 13 and 15 lineup, as well as the XPS 13 and 4K TVs. Meanwhile, Lenovo’s sale covers devices the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, and the Yoga C930.

Reddit will force everyone to log in, and there’s no escape if you want to post or just lurk
The login-only experience will go into the testing phase in the coming months, starting with a few overseas markets.
reddit

Reddit is making login mandatory for all users of the platform. In a lengthy post, the Reddit chief explained that the company is moving to a permanently logged-in experience because it wants to offer users more personalization, helping them find content that’s more relevant to their interests and tastes.

The core idea, according to the company, is to nudge users into joining more communities and engaging with content through comments, votes, and more. The company, however, assures that the change won’t affect anonymity, which has long been one of the platform’s core appeals. The sign-up flow isn’t changing either. You won’t be required to submit any information beyond what’s already needed to create a Reddit account.

Your search engine could be hijacked by a Chrome extension that barely does anything
Your next search might take a detour you never approved.
Google Chrome

A browser extension that does nothing except change your search engine sounds harmless, almost boring, right? After reading this research, I’m convinced you shouldn't ignore it.

Security firm Socket says it found over 300 Chrome extensions that quietly swap a user’s default search engine and route every search through servers controlled by the people behind them before it reaches Bing or Yahoo. Even more alarming, these extensions have reportedly racked up roughly 13.4 million installs over the past decade.
