Today at CES, Lenovo announced its new Lenovo ThinkVision LT1423p Touch Mobile Monitor, a 13.3-inch 1600 x 900 mobile touchscreen that comes either wired or wireless. Thanks to 10-point multi-touch capacity, tough Gorilla Glass, and an impressive wireless range, the Lenovo LT1423 touch monitor carries the potential to wear many hats.

Wired via a USB 3.0 connection and used as a dual-screen monitor, the Lenovo LT1423p ups productivity and provides touch sensitivity – an especially useful bonus for providing the full Windows 8 experience on an otherwise non-touch computer. Shifted beside the mousepad, it can also serve as an oversized, highly sensitive drawing tablet. The LT1423p comes with a pressure-sensitive digital pen with 256 pressure levels that enable precision writing and drawing.

The wireless version allows the Lenovo LT1423p to be used anywhere in the same room as the original PC. Transmitting data via WiFi, the wireless monitor enables more imaginative applications. With a broad viewing angle, a slim profile (1.6 pounds. and 0.3 to 0.6 inches thick), and an anti-reflective LED surface, the touch monitor lends itself easily to collaborative use. It can transform into a fully visualized control pad for a multi-media presentation, or enable business partners to work on the same spreadsheet, even if they are not sitting side-by-side (on a WiFi-enabled plane, for instance). The Lenovo LT1423p boasts up to four hours of battery life and starts at $349.

Stay tuned for a hands-on review.

ChatGPT just dipped its toes into the world of AI agents

OpenAI's ChatGPT blog post is open on a computer monitor, taken from a high angle.

OpenAI appears to be just throwing spaghetti at this point, hoping it sticks to a profitable idea. The company announced on Tuesday that it is rolling out a new feature called ChatGPT Tasks to subscribers of its paid tier that will allow users to set individual and recurring reminders through the ChatGPT interface.

Tasks does exactly what it sounds like it does: It allows you to ask ChatGPT to do a specific action at some point in the future. That could be assembling a weekly news brief every Friday afternoon, telling you what the weather will be like in New York City tomorrow morning at 9 a.m., or reminding you to renew your passport before January 20. ChatGPT will also send a push notification with relevant details. To use it, you'll need to select "4o with scheduled tasks" from the model picker menu, then tell the AI what you want it to do and when.

Will a VPN work on the TikTok ban? Here’s everything you need to know

TikTok is one of the most popular apps on the planet, and unless you live under a rock, you've probably heard by now that it's likely going to get banned in the United States. For the roughly 170 million monthly TikTok users in the US, the potential ban is disappointing news, to say the least. We're happy to report that there's still hope, though. If you already have the app on your phone, you can actually bypass the ban somewhat quite easily. In fact, the main way to do it is through the use of a VPN, and given how common VPNs are these days, you may already have a paid VPN subscription that you could potentially utilize. It's also worth noting that while free VPN options exist, they may not work as well as paid VPNs, especially when it comes to country choices and speeds.

But let's backtrack a bit - you’ve probably heard of virtual private networks before, what exactly do they do? In short, a VPN helps you protect your privacy by disguising your location, allowing you to change your apparent location and view websites in other countries as if you were a resident.

Your personal info is being stolen with every click you make – but don’t worry, Incogni can help with that

Incogni remove personal information from identity thieves

You may already be using one of the best VPNs for online privacy, but you can still go one step further and take the fight to the companies holding your information hostage. With every signup and click around the web, there's a chance that malicious parties are picking up on your personal data, shopping patterns, and interests. And that's even if you're using one of the best antivirus packages out there. Luckily, Incogni is ready to take on the fight against these data brokers for you. And, even better, you can now get a year's worth of their service for 55% off the regular price. Just tap the button below and enter the code DIGITALDEAL upon checkout to lower an annual plan from around $180 to closer to $81. Alternatively, keep reading to learn more about the service and how it can help you combat these threats.

Why you should try Incogni
Between IP addresses, cookies, accounts, and other data, a complex narrative about you and your patterns can be made for advertisers. Even Incognito Mode isn't perfect at keeping your information totally safe. An April 2023 lawsuit showed just how sloppy big companies can be with your data — at that time, Facebook didn't have rules regarding the ways third parties could interact with user data. If you're clickin', your data is probably stickin'.
