Considering the back to school shopping season is in full swing, now is one of the best times of the year to look for laptop deals. Of course, you’ll find markdowns on a wide array of models at just about every retailer, so sometimes finding the best discounts can be a little tough. It’s our job to stay on top of all the best sales though, and we recently came across a Target promo we’d like to share:

For a limited time, Target is selling a refurbished version of the Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage for $150. At full price, this model can go for upwards of $270.

Why you should buy the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3

Sometimes all you need is an entry-level laptop for basic tasking, including web browsing, note-taking, watching movies, and maybe the occasional video game or two. This is exactly the kind of tasking that the Lenovo Slim 3 is designed to handle. Powered by a MediaTek Kompanio 520 CPU and integrated ARM Mali-G52 graphics, this Lenovo laptop actually runs on Chrome OS; so don’t be surprised if you see this model pop up amongst some of our best Chromebook deals. 

The Ip Slim 3 is equipped with a 14-inch 1920 x 1080p display with an anti-glare seal. While it’s not the brightest or most colorful Chromebook screen out there, it still gets the job done. You’ll also have your choice of two USB ports (one USB-A and one USB-C), a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a microSD card reader. On a full charge, the Ip Slim 3 should last for up to 13 hours, which should be plenty of juice for the average school day. 

We understand you may be hesitant to go with a refurbished product, but hear us out: this Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 has been rebuilt by Lenovo to like-new condition. You’ll also get the same one-year limited warranty that a person buying the product brand-new would receive. 

We field a ton of Target sales in our daily deals dives, and this is definitely one of the best Chromebook markdowns we’ve seen on a refurbished product.

Save over $100 when you purchase the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 at Target, and be sure to check out some of the other refurbished laptop deals we’ve been logging. We also have a solid list of student laptop deals. And with Labor Day just around the corner, we have plenty of Labor Day deals to peruse, too!

Google finally lets you turn any website into an app on Googlebook
Google heard your complaints, and now every website can be an app on your Googlebook.
Using the HP Googlebook

Googlebook users, rejoice. Google is rolling out a Chrome update that turns any website into a web app, and you have the community to thank for it.

When Googlebook first arrived, Chrome was picky about which sites you could install. Only websites that developers had set up as web apps got the Install option. Everything else ended up as a shortcut that simply launched a browser tab.

DigUp lets users find Mac files by describing them, not remembering their names
Can't remember where that screenshot, PDF or recording went? Just describe it and let AI do the digging.
DigUp App in Use screenshot

There's a particular kind of frustration that comes with knowing a file exists somewhere on a computer but having absolutely no idea what it's called. Was that screenshot saved as IMG_4837? Which PDF contained that clause? And where did that podcast recording mention the thing worth remembering? DigUp wants to end the filename guessing game, letting Mac users search for files by describing what they remember instead. The free, open-source app uses Google's EmbeddingGemma 2 to search across photos, documents, PDFs, audio recordings and videos, all without sending personal files to the cloud.
