HP 14 laptop with intel Celeron on desk.
HP

With more than 1,000 units sold over the past 24 hours, the HP Stream 14 is one of the most popular laptop deals on Walmart right now. That’s because from its already affordable original price of $229, it’s currently available for even lower at $169 for savings of $60. You’re going to have to manage your expectations with this device, but for this cheap, you’re going to get amazing value for your money, especially since it comes with a year of access to Office 365. You’ll need to act fast though — at this rate, stocks of the laptop will get sold out sooner than you think.

Why you should buy the HP Stream 14 laptop

The HP Stream 14 laptop isn’t going to challenge the performance of the best laptops with its Intel Celeron N4120 processor, Intel UHD Graphics 600, and 4GB of RAM. However, it will be more than enough to tackle daily activities like typing documents, making presentations, and managing spreadsheets. To help you with these tasks, the laptop comes with a one-year subscription to Office 365, or now officially known as Microsoft 365, which will give you access to Microsoft’s popular line of productivity apps that include Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.

As you can guess from its name, the HP Stream 14 is equipped with a 14-inch screen that offers HD resolution and an anti-glare panel. The display is just the right size for a good look at your projects and for watching streaming shows, but it’s also small enough to keep the laptop portable. The laptop runs on Windows 11 Home in S Mode, for a familiar operating system for most people, and it has a 64GB eMMC for your files, which you can supplement with cloud storage services if you need more space.

If you need a cheap laptop for daily use, you can’t go wrong with the HP Stream 14 that comes with one year of Office 365. A $60 discount from Walmart pulls its price down further to just $169 from $229, but with more than 1,000 units sold over the past 24 hours, we’re not sure if the savings will still be available tomorrow. To make sure that you get the HP Stream 14 laptop for an even lower price than usual, you’re going to have to push forward with your purchase as soon as possible — right now, if you can.

Claude is getting ambitious with watermarking, and I can smell the problems from a mile away
Claude’s text watermark could flag AI involvement even when it only helped with translation or editing
Claude website open on laptop

Anthropic wants to make AI-generated text easier to identify, and on paper, I have very little reason to complain. The company is experimenting with an invisible watermark that can be baked directly into text generated by Claude.

It sounds like a sensible idea. AI-generated text is everywhere, and knowing where something came from could certainly help. Moreover, Anthropic isn't simply hiding a marker somewhere inside a document. Its approach changes how Claude selects words to create a statistical pattern that can later be detected.

I switched from Windows to Mac after 25 years, and it’s the trackpad that converted me.
Well, that rhymes.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

I’ve been using Windows laptops for almost 25 years. In that time, I never once seriously thought of buying a MacBook. In fact, I can honestly say I had never used one at all until I bought my MacBook Air M5 six months ago. Never borrowed one for a weekend, spent an afternoon at an Apple Store, or even played with one at a friend's house. Macs, to me, were just expensive computers for those who edited videos, made logos, or liked drinking expensive coffee.

My change came completely by accident.

Apple’s latest refurb drop brings cheaper MacBooks, iPhone 16 Plus, and Apple Watches
More M5 MacBook Air and Pro models are now available through Apple’s refurbished store
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Apple has added several new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro configurations to its Certified Refurbished Store, alongside more iPhone 16 Plus models and Apple Watches.

The MacBook Air additions arrive at a particularly useful time. New M5 MacBook Air models are currently running in short supply across Apple’s retail network, with some configurations facing delivery estimates stretching into late August or September. Apple also raised MacBook Air prices in June, so students shopping before the new school year are being asked to spend more while potentially waiting longer to get one.
