There’s still a lot of demand for Meta Quest 2 deals, even with the arrival of more virtual reality headsets, including its successor. If you’ve had an eye on the Meta Quest 2 for a while now, your patience has paid off because it’s now down to its lowest-ever price of $200 following a $50 discount by Best Buy on its original price of $250. You need to act fast though — VR headsets almost always sell out quickly whenever they go on sale, and we don’t expect anything different with this bargain.

Why you should buy the Meta Quest 2 VR headset

Even after the launch of the Meta Quest 3, the Meta Quest 2 remains in our list of the best VR headsets as the best budget option because you’ll be getting amazing value from this device. It’s a wireless headset with a built-in battery and intuitive controllers — no need to connect to a PC or set up base stations — so it’s all you need if you want to jump into VR and play the best Meta Quest 2 games. You also have the option to wirelessly connect to a PC if you want to access SteamVR titles. The Meta Quest 2 also offers 3D positional audio, hand tracking, and haptic feedback for total immersion.

In our Meta Quest 3 versus Meta Quest 2 comparison, we point out that while the upgrades in the latest model of the VR headset are significant, the Meta Quest 2 is way cheaper, while allowing you to play the same games and run the same apps. It has also been receiving regular updates to improve its performance, and it’s lightweight so it’s easy to bring with you when you travel.

There are Meta Quest 3 deals that you can shop right now, but the Meta Quest 2 is a very tempting option, especially now that it’s on sale from Best Buy for its cheapest-ever price of $200. There’s no telling how long the $50 discount on its sticker price of $250 will remain available though, so it’s highly recommended that you proceed with your purchase immediately. Once this offer for the Meta Quest 2 expires, we’re not sure when you’ll get another chance at it, so push forward with the transaction immediately.

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.

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?

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.
