Microsoft Surface Pro

Microsoft has started rolling out the latest 24H2 update for all Windows 11 PCs, especially ones with a Snapdragon X Elite chipset, which this tablet has. This new update makes Copilot+ laptops useful for AI with a lot of new features such as AI-powered Windows search, better photo manipulation tools in Paint and Photos, and the new “Click to Do,” which gives you a contextual menu based on what is already on the screen. Besides these new AI features, the Snapdragon X Elite should easily handle most of your day-to-day and productivity tasks with relative ease.

Besides that, this laptop comes with a gorgeous 13-inch OLED screen that runs a 2880 x 1920 resolution for you to work with, which makes it a generally light and easy-to-carry-around laptop. The 16GB of RAM is also pretty excellent and will give you a smooth experience, while the 512GB of storage should be more than enough. You can also supplement that with one of these external hard drive deals if you want to, but you should be fine for the most part. Luckily, the detachable keyboard is also included in this package, so you can use it like a traditional laptop without buying extra hardware.

Overall, there’s a lot to love about the Microsoft Surface Pro, and if you’re a fan of CoPilot+, then this deal from Best Buy that knocks $200 off is likely right up your alley. That said, if you’re not entirely sure if it’s for you, then you may also want to check out these other excellent laptop deals for some alternatives.

Every app on my phone has decided I need AI, and none of them bothered to ask
AI assistants are invading everything from photo libraries to messaging apps, and dismissing them only seems to guarantee they’ll return later.

My wife doesn’t use AI very much. She isn’t philosophically opposed to it, nor is she waiting for the machines to overthrow civilization. She simply opens Google Photos because she wants to look at her photos.

Lately, however, the app keeps greeting her with invitations to try its AI tools. Google would very much like her to search her library conversationally, generate something new, or ask Gemini to edit a photo. She dismisses the prompt, gets on with her life, and eventually meets it again.

Shopping for Back-to-school? These are the gaming laptops I’d recommend
Powerful enough for AAA games, practical enough for everyday lectures, assignments, and everything in between.

Every gamer knows the pain of trying to do too much with the wrong hardware. Back-to-School is the perfect excuse to fix that. A good gaming laptop shouldn’t just hit high frame rates -- it should also survive endless browser tabs, assignments, coding sessions, video edits, and everything else college throws at it. These five machines strike that balance better than most, which is exactly why they’d be my picks this semester.

If you look at the AI landscape, a majority of its usage in the film and television industry has been pretty controversial. Bringing dead actors to life on a screen, using AI to record vintage songs that were never completed, or just using it to film scenes or handle any other part of the creative process — the backlash has been pretty vocal. But there are a few slivers of hopeful AI usage, too, and Google just delivered one of those in a heartwarming fashion using Gemini AI.
