Microsoft’s Surface devices are some of the most premium Windows computers out there, which means their prices can get quite high. With a new Surface product lineup to be announced in the company’s annual hardware event, however, we are expecting to see price drops on the previous models. Case in point: The Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 is discounted on Walmart and Best Buy right now for a massive $300 off its standard $1,299 price tag. This deal exclusively applies to the Intel Core i5 variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD. Other configurations are also on sale.

The Surface Laptop 2 is ideal for students or professionals looking for a sleek and light Windows laptop that is comparable to the MacBook Air. Steering away from the conventional laptop experience, Microsoft kicked things up a notch and gave it a touchscreen display. This allows for a more convenient interaction combined with Surface Pen compatibility.

The 3:2 ratio is an ideal aspect for a laptop, and the Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 is one of the pioneers in this screen size. It has a resolution of 2,256 x 1,504 which breaks down to a stunning 201 pixels per inch. That is actually a higher pixel density compared to the screen of the Dell XPS 13 and the Huawei MateBook 13.

When it comes to image quality, this laptop has all the bases covered in aspects like color gamut, gamma, and brightness. Overall, the display is great and won’t disappoint — whether it be for viewing photos, watching movies, or playing games.

This model comes with Intel’s eighth-generation Core i5 processor backed by 8GB of RAM. It’s not the fastest laptop, but you’ll notice significant improvements in performance. And with a 256GB SSD, you’ll be able to power through your day with fast read and write speeds, impressive response times, and overall better reliability.

The Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 is estimated to provide up to 14.5 hours of battery life depending on usage. Coupled with an excellent and comfortable keyboard, it makes an ideal companion for a full day of typing and productivity.

Powerful enough for day-to-day computing and thin enough to carry around with you, the Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 makes a solid computer for school, work, and travel. Take advantage of this laptop deal and bring home this portable powerhouse for only $999. Order today on Walmart or Best Buy while supplies last.

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!

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:
