While there are HP laptop deals for gaming machines and productivity powerhouses, there are also some available offers for budget-friendly devices. Here’s one from Walmart — the HP 15.6-Inch Laptop at $200 off, which reduces its price from $499 to a more affordable $299. We’re not sure how much time is remaining before the savings disappear though, so if you don’t want to miss this bargain, you should add the laptop to your cart and finish the checkout process as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the HP 15.6-Inch Laptop

With its affordable price, you shouldn’t expect the HP 15.6-Inch Laptop to challenge the performance of the best laptops. However, behind its generic-looking name, the device is actually a pretty solid productivity tool. It’s equipped with the AMD Ryzen 5 7520U processor and 8GB of RAM, which will be enough to handle daily tasks such as doing online research, managing spreadsheets, and building reports. You’ll also be able to join online meetings with its built-in HD camera and microphone, which will allow you to look and sound clear to your colleagues.

As you would expect, the HP 15.6-Inch Laptop comes with a 15.6-inch screen, which features Full HD resolution and support for AMD’s FreeSync technology. It’s a great display for working, but it’s also excellent for entertainment purposes, for instance watching streaming shows whenever you take a break. The laptop also comes with a 512GB SSD for all of your apps and files, and with Windows 11 Home pre-loaded, you can start using the device right after you unbox it.

There’s always high demand for affordable laptop deals because a portable computer is a necessity these days, which is why we think the stocks of the HP 15.6-Inch Laptop that are up for sale at Walmart will run out quickly. Instead of $499, you’ll only have to pay $299 if you’re able to catch this offer while it’s still available. You need to hurry if you want to take advantage of this bargain.

AMD’s RDNA 4 may surprise us in more ways than one
AMD RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT graphics cards.

Thanks to all the leaks, I thought I knew what to expect with AMD's upcoming RDNA 4. It turns out I may have been wrong on more than one account.

The latest leaks reveal that AMD's upcoming best graphics card may not be called the RX 8800 XT, as most leakers predicted, but will instead be referred to as theĀ  RX 9070 XT. In addition, the first leaked benchmark of the GPU gives us a glimpse into the kind of performance we can expect, which could turn out to be a bit of a letdown.

This futuristic mechanical keyboard will set you back an eye-watering $1,600
Hands typing on The Icebreaker keyboard.

I've complained plenty about how some of the best gaming keyboards are too expensive, from the Razer Black Widow V4 75% to the Wooting 80HE, but nothing comes remotely close to The Icebreaker. Announced nearly a year ago by Serene Industries, The Icebreaker is unlike any keyboard I've ever seen -- and it's priced accordingly at $1,600. Plus shipping, of course.

What could justify such an extravagant price? Aluminum, it turns out. The keyboard is constructed of one single block of 6061 aluminum in what Serene Industries calls an "unorthodox wedge form." As if that wasn't enough metal, the keycaps are also made of aluminum, and Serene says they include "about 800" micro-perforations that allow the LED backlight of the keyboard to shine through.

Google one-ups Microsoft by making chats easier to transfer
Google Spaces in Google Chat on a MacBook.

In a recent blog post, Google announced that it is making it easier for admins to migrate from Microsoft TeamsĀ to Google Chat to reduce downtime. Admins can easily do this within the Google Chat migration menu and connect to opposing Microsoft accounts to transfer Teams data.

Google gave step-by-step instructions for admins on how to transfer the messages. Admins need to connect to their Microsoft account and upload a CSV of the Teams from where they transfer the messages. From there, it requires just entering a starting date for messages to be migrated from Teams and clicking Star migration. Once it's complete, it'll make the migrated space, messages, and conversation data available to Google Workspace users.
