Why you should buy the HP OMEN Gaming Laptop

Gaming laptops require the kind of reliable power and performance that only certain PCs can muster. Fortunately, the Omen is one of these prized machines. This Windows 11 PC has an Intel Core i7 that delivers up to 5.5GHz clock speeds, along with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. Depending on how much gaming you actually do, you may or may not want to add more storage. (And luckily, we have a solid roundup of SSD deals for you to look through, too!)

Bytes aside, those are some solid internal components that guarantee optimal performance across the board, along with visually rich graphics. This laptop has a 16-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) screen that delivers up to a 165Hz refresh rate and 7ms response times. The IPS panel also contains an anti-glare coating to keep ambient lighting at bay and a Low Blue Light mode for reducing LED strain to your retinas.

On a full charge, you should get up to five hours of game time on the Omen and close to seven hours for HD video playback. This configuration comes with several USB ports, too, along with an HDMI 2.1 port for routing video to an external display. We’ve got plenty of great monitor deals for you to look through, too!

Take $500 off the price of the HP Omen Gaming Laptop when you order through the manufacturer today, and be sure to check out some of the other gaming laptop deals we’ve been finding.

ConlangCrafter open on laptop

Ever wondered what a language built entirely by AI would sound like? A team of researchers just made a tool that answers exactly that question. A new paper published in the Proceedings of the Association for Computational Linguistics introduces ConlangCrafter, a tool that uses large language models to build brand new languages complete with their own sounds, grammar, and vocabulary.

Morris Alper, the paper's lead author and soon-to-be assistant professor at the University of Miami, explained that the goal was to create languages with features you don't normally find in the ones we already speak.

South Korea wants to give every citizen free, unlimited access to its own AI chatbot
The government-backed service could turn generative AI into public infrastructure instead of another monthly subscription
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

South Korea wants to give every citizen free access to an AI chatbot with no usage limits. That puts the technology closer to a public utility than another premium service demanding a monthly subscription.

The Ministry of Science and ICT announced the AI for Everyone project on July 13. Private companies will build the platform around locally developed models, while a separate AI agent will help people navigate government services. It’s a more practical job than generating emails or settling arguments nobody wanted to research themselves.
