Why you should buy the HP Laptop 17

Billed as a budget laptop, an Intel i3 CPU delivers well above “budget” performance. And with 256GB of SSD storage and 8GB of RAM, you’ll have plenty of room to store important files and multi-task. It’s also a laptop that goes above and beyond “budget” visuals. The massive 17-inch IPS screen delivers solid brightness levels and rich colors. And while the panel maxes out at 1080p/60Hz (sorry gamers), that’s plenty of pixels for watching Netflix and YouTube, or working with Full HD imagery in Photoshop. 

The HP Laptop 17 is equipped with the HP True Vision HD Camera, which works quite well in low-light conditions. There’s even a physical privacy shutter that you can slide over the lens when you’re not using the cam. As it stands, this is still one of the best ways to keep would-be-hackers at bay. 

In terms of connectivity, the HP Laptop 17 supports Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0 wireless standards. That’s on top of its physical ports, which include two USB-A (5Gbps), USB-C (5Gbps), an HDMI 1.4 output, and a 3.5mm auxiliary for your favorite set of wired headphones. If you don’t have a set of cans on you, the onboard stereo speakers are nothing to shake a stick at. 

When it comes to portable PCs, battery life is always a big concern. Not with the Laptop 17 though: You’ll get up to 9 hours on a full charge, and HP’s Fast Charge function will charge the laptop from 0 to 50% in just 45 minutes (computer must be turned off).

Sure, these types of PC deals are a dime a dozen, but if you’re looking for a powerful and reliable Windows 11 laptop to join your arsenal of tech tools, do yourself a favor and save $180 on the HP Laptop 17 before this awesome sale ends!

This new Mac malware won’t let you use your computer until you surrender your password
This Mac malware turns your own computer against you
AI Generated Image

A newly discovered strain of macOS malware is taking social engineering to an unsettling new level. Instead of exploiting a software vulnerability or silently stealing information in the background, it simply refuses to let you use your Mac until you type in your login password.

Dubbed ClickLock, the malware repeatedly shuts down key macOS processes, disables notifications, displays convincing Apple password prompts, and effectively traps users in a loop that only ends when the correct password is entered. Once that happens, it doesn't just steal the password. It goes after browser data, cryptocurrency wallets, saved credentials, password managers, and much more.

1Password lets Claude inside your accounts without handing over the keys
Claude can now sign in on your behalf while your password stays hidden, though trusting it after login is a separate decision
1Password official

1Password is giving Claude a way into your online accounts without making your passwords part of the bargain. The new 1Password for Claude integration can fill login details while keeping the credentials hidden from Anthropic’s AI agent.

Available now on Mac, the feature kicks in when Claude reaches a sign-in page during a task. Claude requests a saved login, then you approve or deny it. If approved, 1Password submits the credentials through a separate encrypted channel. Passwords and one-time codes never enter Claude’s context or Anthropic’s systems.
