For professionals who are looking at laptop deals for an upgrade to their current machine, and for parents who are searching for student laptop deals to equip their children for the new school year, you should consider taking advantage of Surface Laptop deals. Microsoft’s Surface Laptops are known for their performance and durability, and that holds true for the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go, which is available at $150 off from Best Buy to bring its price down to just $550 from its original price of $700.

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go is powered by the 10th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and Intel UHD Graphics, which makes it capable of running the latest apps for both productivity and recreation. It’s a joy to work on the laptop’s 12.4-inch PixelSense touchscreen, but if you need a larger screen while you’re at home, you can hook it up to a bigger display from among the desktop monitor deals. The laptop also comes with a 128GB SSD for storage, which should be big enough for all your essential software and files.

The laptop is equipped with a 720p HD camera, so you can be seen clearly during online meetings and virtual classes. Meanwhile, working with the full-size keyboard and large precision trackpad is comfortable, so you can get your reports and presentations done quickly. For battery life, Microsoft promises up to 13 hours on a single charge, with up to 80% recharged after just about an hour through its Fast Charging technology.

For an affordable device that will boost your productivity, choose the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go. Best Buy is making it even cheaper to own one, with a $150 discount that lowers the laptop’s price to just $550 from its original price of $700. It’s unclear how long the deal will last though, so you might want to click that Buy Now button as soon as you can before the offer disappears for good.

Reddit will force everyone to log in, and there’s no escape if you want to post or just lurk
The login-only experience will go into the testing phase in the coming months, starting with a few overseas markets.

Reddit is making login mandatory for all users of the platform. In a lengthy post, the Reddit chief explained that the company is moving to a permanently logged-in experience because it wants to offer users more personalization, helping them find content that’s more relevant to their interests and tastes.

The core idea, according to the company, is to nudge users into joining more communities and engaging with content through comments, votes, and more. The company, however, assures that the change won’t affect anonymity, which has long been one of the platform’s core appeals. The sign-up flow isn’t changing either. You won’t be required to submit any information beyond what’s already needed to create a Reddit account.

Your search engine could be hijacked by a Chrome extension that barely does anything
Your next search might take a detour you never approved.
Google Chrome

A browser extension that does nothing except change your search engine sounds harmless, almost boring, right? After reading this research, I’m convinced you shouldn't ignore it.

Security firm Socket says it found over 300 Chrome extensions that quietly swap a user’s default search engine and route every search through servers controlled by the people behind them before it reaches Bing or Yahoo. Even more alarming, these extensions have reportedly racked up roughly 13.4 million installs over the past decade.

Intel’s 6W Moon Lake chips could make budget laptops cooler, quieter, and more efficient at a cost
A tiny chip with big battery life ambitions.

Cheap laptops, the ones with a wheezy fan and a battery that taps out by lunch, have burned me before, which is why I usually stay away from them and advise my friends to do the same.

So, when a leak claims Intel is building a chip just for them, with a power rating of only 6W (compared to 15 to 20W for regular chips), I’m a bit excited, but perhaps even more cautious.
