Why you should buy the HP Omen Gaming Laptop

Let’s have a look underneath the hood. In the case of the Omen 16t, this version of the laptop is equipped with an Intel Core i7-14700HX that delivers max clock speeds of 5.5GHz and supports a 33MB L3 cache, 20 cores, and 28 threads. Graphics are handled by an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 GPU, with both CPU and GPU leveraging 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. Once you factor in the advanced cooling tech, HP opted to include on this model, those internal components alone all but guarantee you’re in for the ride of your life when you fire up your favorite games.

Response time and motion performance are critical to any gaming display, and from screen to ports, the Omen 16t has got what it takes to go the distance. The 16.1-inch 1920 x 1080p panel pushes a native refresh rate of 165Hz, and HP claims the machine is capable of 7ms response times. If you want to bump things up to 4K, there’s an alternate configuration of the Omen 16t that comes with a 2560 x 1440p display that delivers up to a 240Hz refresh rate. You’ll also be able to use the included HDMI 2.1 port to connect the Omen to your external monitor of choice (check out our monitor deals too).

On a full charge, this laptop should last for well over six hours, though resource-heavy PC games will likely eat away at the battery a bit faster. We’re not sure how long this HP markdown will be hanging around, so you shouldn’t wait too long if you’re planning on putting down the dough. Save $500 when you order the HP Omen Gaming Laptop 16t-wf100 through HP, and be sure to have a look at some of the other HP laptop deals we dug up this week!

I found a free Mac diagnostic app that tells you what Apple’s tools don’t
It can check your Mac’s storage, memory, battery, and network

Macs have a strong reputation for being smooth and reliable, and Apple’s tight control over hardware and software is a big reason for that. Use one long enough, however, and you may still run into slowdowns, freezes, strange behavior, or that familiar feeling that something is simply off.

Apple’s own tools can help, but only to a point. Disk Utility is useful for storage-related checks, but it does not give you a wider picture of your Mac’s overall health. I recently came across Techtool Lite, a free diagnostic and maintenance app from Micromat that looks at more than just your drive.

Claude redefined my bond with Macs. I am building my own apps and it’s a bliss.
I talk to Claude. It builds me apps. It's as simple as that!
Claude AI on Mac.

A few days ago, one of my colleagues asked me a favor. They wanted a few iOS and macOS screenshots turned into a mockup image where the UI is rendered on an iPhone and a MacBook. The problem? It was 3 am PST, which meant asking one of my design team colleagues was out of the question. 

Now, there are plenty of online tools that will do it, but you either have to pay for a subscription (as in Canva), or sign up to buy usage credits after a few free trials. Moreover, these editors limit you to a handful of design presets. I turned to Anthropic’s Claude, and within half an hour, I had a screenshot-to-mockup editor built for the entire team to use. Take a look:
