Why you should buy a Gateway 14.1-inch ultra-slim notebook

The best Black Friday laptop deals mean you can buy something you might not have ordinarily been able to afford. That’s certainly the case with the Gateway 14.1-inch ultra-slim notebook. It’s just made laptop ownership more accessible. While the system may not be from one of the best laptop brands, it’s still worth checking out at this price. You get an Intel Celeron processor along with 4GB of memory and 64GB of eMMC storage. It’s slight on storage space but still means there’s room for it to have Windows 11 in S mode installed on it, proving useful for anyone that relies on Windows-based apps.

The idea is that you use a lot of cloud-based apps which is why a year’s worth of Microsoft 365 is included, so you can also save files to the cloud without an issue. Again, a step away from even the best budget laptops, let alone the best laptops, but fine for daily use.

The Gateway 14.1-inch ultra-slim notebook also has useful extras such as a 1MP webcam for video calls, audio tuned by THX Audio, and a mini HDMI port. It’s pretty sleek for the price too and looks more eye-catching than you would expect. That’s ideal for a student who wants to make an impression in class while keeping costs down.

Normally priced at $229, you can buy the Gateway 14.1-inch ultra-slim notebook from Walmart right now for only $99. A saving of $130 won’t stick around forever and we’re expecting this to be a highly popular Black Friday deal. Buy it now so you don’t miss out.

ChatGPT Live could make talking to AI feel straight out of the movies

AI voice assistants have been chasing the sci-fi dream for years, but they still have a hard time holding a conversation with humans. Most voice systems still need clear turns, clean pauses, and a few seconds before they respond. OpenAI is now rolling out GPT-Live, a new voice model for ChatGPT Voice that is designed to make those exchanges feel faster and less scripted.

The main upgrade is what OpenAI calls a full-duplex architecture. In simpler terms, GPT-Live can listen and speak at the same time. It continuously processes what the user is saying while also generating its own response, allowing it to decide when to talk, when to pause, when to keep listening, and when to use a tool.

A broken Galaxy Fold 5 just became the Pixel desktop future I want Google to steal
A broken Galaxy Fold 5 became a tiny PC because Samsung already built the desktop mode Google keeps treating like a side quest.
Desktop mode within Android 16.

A broken Galaxy Fold 5 should be a sad little monument to modern gadget math. One busted outer display, one repair bill nobody wants to inspect too closely, and suddenly a powerful foldable starts heading toward a drawer. Instead, a Redditor turned one into a glowing acrylic DeX box with spare parts, fans, a USB hub, and the kind of LED lighting that makes every homebrew computer look mildly illegal.
