Why you should sign up for NordVPN

NordVPN is one of the best VPNs around and ideal if you want to feel more secure while connecting to networks on your travels. A VPN effectively creates a safe tunnel leading to a secure line of communication between the computer and the VPN. It means outside observers cannot see the data passing between them as you gain an additional layer of security. It’s particularly useful if you’re using public Wi-Fi but still want to access secure information such as your online banking.

With NordVPN, you get a secure, high-speed VPN at all times. With all three plans, up to 10 devices can be secured at once with the two pricier plans providing malware protection and a tracker/ad blocker. Ultimate and Plus also come with a cross-platform password manager and a data breach scanner, while Ultimate adds on 1TB of encrypted cloud storage.

At all times, your privacy is protected with things like your IP address, browsing history, location, and more all protected. You can stream securely while you travel and even circumvent geo-restrictions if you still want to access your favorite streaming services despite being abroad.

There are a ton of great reasons why NordVPN is worth it. Right now, you can get the Ultimate package for two years for $162 working out as the equivalent of $6 per month. There’s also the Plus plan for $108 for two years or $4 per month, while the Basic plan is $3 per month or $83 for two years. Check them out now before the Memorial Day deals end soon.

Why you should buy the MSI Codex Z2 gaming PC
MSI features in our look at the best gaming PCs for beginners, and that’s the kind of vibe we’re getting from the MSI Codex Z2. This particular model has an AMD R5-8400F CPU along with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. None of that is top of the line stuff, but it’s ideal for some mid-range gaming without spending a fortune. It’s also great to see a reliable 1TB of storage when a lot of cheaper models stick with a barely adequate for gaming 512GB.

If you need a laptop specifically designed for business use, Lenovo and its ThinkPad range is generally a great thing to consider. Right now you can buy a particularly great Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon for $1,518. As with all the laptop deals that Lenovo offers, its original price (aka Lenovo’s estimated value price) is a little optimistic to say the least. According to Lenovo, this laptop previously cost $3,229, which is a touch on the high side, as much as the 53% discount sounds very impressive. Fortunately, whatever the true original price, $1,518 is a good deal for a PC with these specs. If you’re looking for a reliable work machine, here’s what you need to know.

Why you should buy the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon
Lenovo is one of the best laptop brands around for professionals in particular (and gamers, but that’s a different topic). The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon offers many great features for the price. It has a 13th-generation Intel Core i7-1365U CPU alongside 32GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. We'd like to see more storage, but we’re glad to see the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon use DDR5 RAM. It also sports a 14-inch WUXGA screen with 100% sRGB and 400 nits of brightness. It looks great while being highly portable compared to much of the competition.
