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.

Google Chrome's autofill has always been pretty handy for filling in addresses, passwords, and payment information. Now, the feature could be getting ever better thanks to better integration with Gmail. The company will soon allow the browser to dig through your Gmail inbox and pull out information you would otherwise spend several minutes hunting for.

According to Google's official announcement, Chrome's enhanced autofill can now use Gemini with Personal Intelligence to retrieve order numbers, package tracking details, and flight booking information directly from Gmail.

The new MacBook Pro has a stabilized camera and it’s a practical perk hiding in plain sight
Apple's touchscreen MacBook Pro promises steadier video calls when fingers hit the display, with a redesigned hinge helping reduce screen wobble
MacBook Pro Stabilization

The new MacBook Pro has a camera upgrade worth a closer look amid the touchscreen and OLED excitement. Apple says its advanced video stabilization keeps the camera feed steady when you touch the display, so tapping through a document during a call shouldn't send a tremor through everyone else's screen.

A touchscreen invites people to prod the lid while its camera is pointed at their face. Accounting for what the person watching sees is a sensible detail to build around that change.

I found a smart reason to buy Apple’s touchscreen MacBook, and it’s Xcode
Apple's $2,899 MacBook Pro might be a developer's dream

Apple has just introduced a new touchscreen MacBook Pro, and the moment I saw the press material, I was intrigued owing to one crucial upgrade – support for touch input on its OLED screen. Apple's response to people asking for a touchscreen-enabled MacBook used to be that macOS was never built to support a touch interface. There is plenty of hot chatter going on about the"need for a touchscreen on a MacBook" in the first place, and given Apple's historical dismissal of a touch-sensitive display on Macs, it's somewhat justified.

I've used plenty of touchscreen Windows laptops over the years, but I didn't expect to pay nearly $3,000 for Apple's own take on such a notebook. But as someone who just got into the world of app development, I can see a genuinely compelling reason for the upgrade. Or maybe, it's just me trying to convince myself that there's a genuinely practical benefit to spending nearly three thousand dollars on a new laptop, ditching one that is already working fine for me.
