The HP Laptop 14t-dq300 has all the basics. It has an Intel Celeron N4500 processor, 8GB of memory, plus 128GB of SSD storage. If you’re not sure what that means, don’t sweat it. Those are all the basic specs you need when picking out one of the best laptops for college with enough storage to store all your files physically on the laptop, or you can always opt to store files on the cloud instead. The processor isn’t one of the latest ones out there but it’s good enough for some multitasking and the 8GB of memory will help you out there.

Alongside that, the HP Laptop 14t-dq300 has a 14-inch diagonal HD display which means you have plenty of screen space for typing up documents while on the move. With a 6.5mm micro-edge bezel display, it looks good, too, with a thin and light design, making it all the more portable. There’s HP Fast Charge technology at work, too, which means it recharges quickly. And there’s also an integrated precision touchpad with multi-touch support to speed up navigation for you and make everything run a little smoother. It’s those kind of features that explains why HP features so highly in our look at the best laptop brands right now.

Of course, the beauty behind the HP Laptop 14t-dq300 is that it’s so well suited for the average student. It looks pretty good and its lightweight build means you won’t have any issues taking it between classes or simply finding a home for it in your dorm. With a choice of color schemes, you can even make this laptop feel a bit more personal than the average laptop as well. It’s those little things that soon add up, especially at this great price.

Ordinarily priced at $400, the HP Laptop 14t-dq300 was a pretty sweet deal anyhow but now, down to just $320, it’s all the more appealing. If you’re looking for a new laptop for school, you can’t go wrong here. It covers all the bases at an awesome price. Grab it now while stocks last.

Artificial intelligence agents being tested by OpenAI were involved in a previously undisclosed cyberattack against RubyGems in May, an incident that is now raising uncomfortable questions about how much control humans really have over increasingly autonomous AI systems.

The attack overwhelmed RubyGems, a popular service used by software developers to publish and access Ruby packages, forcing operators to suspend new account registrations for four days. According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, OpenAI confirmed that its agents had been involved, but said they were using the platform to perform benign tasks and retrieve publicly available information during a training run.

AMD’s new budget CPUs could be a lifeline for cash-strapped PC builders
AMD Ryzen 5 5500F CPU

AMD has added two new six-core processors to its desktop lineup. The Ryzen 5 5500F brings six Zen 3 cores and 12 threads to the older AM4 platform for around $99, while the Ryzen 5 7500 moves to Zen 4 and AM5 for around $189, complete with integrated Radeon graphics.

The Ryzen 5 5500F arrives at an interesting time for budget PC builders. Putting together a current-generation system, or moving an existing PC to one, can get expensive quickly. An AM5 build requires a compatible motherboard and DDR5 memory, and RAM prices have risen sharply. For someone already running an AM4 system, the 5500F offers an inexpensive processor option without requiring a platform-wide replacement.
