Get the perfect balance of portability and power with this Refurbished HP EliteBook Folio 9470M, which is currently over 90 percent off but only for a limited time. The laptop is HP’s first enterprise Ultrabook with docking capability, making it great for business elites who want to stay productive anywhere they go.

The enterprise laptop packs a third-generation Intel Core processor giving you ultimate control, security, and remote manageability. At just 0.75-inches thick, it’s the thinnest EliteBook to date, yet it gives you a 14-inch (355.6 mm) diagonal display providing all the mobility you need. It has VGA, DisplayPort, Ethernet, and three USB 3.0 ports so you can be more efficient wherever you take it.

HP EliteBook Folio 9470m UltrabookWe got our hands on an HP EliteBook Folio 9470M and found its slimness and number of ports to be huge pluses, along with the user-removable battery that doesn’t jet out and the pointstick and touchpad with discrete mouse buttons. We also confirmed that the laptop remains fairly quiet when not connected to the AC adapter and when hooked up with the fan running constantly, noise levels aren’t that noticeable even in quiet environments. We concluded that if ports and a removable battery are high on your list, you should definitely consider this HP model.

In testing, we found that under normal usage, you can probably get about seven and a half hours or more of battery life and if that’s not enough you can carry another battery and easily swap it out yourself. It has a generous touchpad and two sets of mouse buttons. Because you get distinct left and right mouse buttons, the design helps prevent issues with finger misplacement and accidental multitouch gesture activation. Additionally, if you’d rather use the pointstick for navigation, you’ll find it’s precise and easy to use.

You can keep the computer and your documents fully protected with a full set of EliteBook business software and anti-virus protection, which are automatically preloaded including HP Client Security and HP BIOS Vault. This model comes with the higher-end Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit operating system and 90-day limited parts and labor warranties.

The HP EliteBook Folio 9470M normally retails for $2,680 but for the next few days, you can score this refurbished model for $210 on Newegg, saving you $2,470 (92 percent).

Safari learns to tame tabs and dim bright pages.

Here’s a confession: I never close my browser tabs. I just let them pile up until my browser looks like a Tetris game I’ve already lost. Well, it looks like Apple is finally ready to help me clean up.

Apple’s first iOS 27.3 developer betas are here, and they add three new Safari features: Vertical Tabs, Adaptive Dark Mode, and Siri commands. It’s the one I’m most excited about.

Google is making schools choose between AI and access to its Search engine
Google is using its Search dominance to armtwist schools into accepting AI
Google Search

Google says it wants to give schools more control over how students use AI. But its proposed solution comes with a rather extraordinary condition: schools that opt to block AI entirely will also lose access to Google Search on student accounts. The conclusion is that schools can say no to Google’s AI, but they may have to give up one of the most fundamental tools students use to learn and research online.

The change, reported by The New York Times, is expected to take place early next year. Google is responding to concerns from parents and educators who want more control over how children interact with AI, the company said. But linking access to Search to acceptance of AI raises an uncomfortable question: is Google really giving schools a choice, or making it harder for them to say no?

Microsoft says its latest optimizations can make multitasking up to 40% faster on PCs with just 8GB RAM.
Windows 11

The situation in the budget laptop market is getting increasingly difficult, thanks to the skyrocketing cost of RAM and the competition from Apple's MacBook Neo. For Windows laptop makers, one way to keep prices affordable is to ship machines with just 8GB of RAM. But there's a problem. Windows 11 isn't exactly known for being gentle on memory.

Microsoft is now trying to fix that problem. The company says Windows 11 can now multitask up to 40% faster on PCs with just 8GB RAM, alongside a bunch of other improvements that reduce how much memory the operating system and its apps consume.
