If you can’t find laptop deals that fit a tight budget, you may want to consider looking at Chromebook deals instead. Here’s a very affordable offer from Best Buy: the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook for just $189, for savings of $210 on its original price of $399. We’re not sure if stocks will still be available by tomorrow though, so we highly recommend proceeding with your purchase of the device today if you don’t want to miss out on this chance to get it for less than half-price.

Why you should buy the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook is an excellent device, but first, you should know — what is a Chromebook? It’s a laptop that runs on Google’s Chrome OS, which depends heavily on web-based apps instead of installed software. This results in quick startups and snappy performance, even on low-end hardware such as the MediaTek Kompanio 520 processor, MediaTek Integrated Graphics, and 4GB of RAM on the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook. These components aren’t impressive on paper, but on this device, it’s more than enough for handling basic tasks like doing online research and typing reports.

The 14-inch Full HD screen of the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook makes it pretty portable, as it also only weighs below 3 pounds with thickness of just 0.73 of an inch. The laptop features a built-in HD webcam with a microphone for joining online meetings, and while it only has a 64GB eMMC for storage, you can use it with Google Drive or any of the other cloud storage services to save your files.

There are Lenovo laptop deals for top-of-the-line machines, but you can also get budget-friendly devices like the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook. From an already relatively affordable price of $399, it’s all the way down to only $189 from Best Buy for huge savings of $210. You’ll have to be quick in completing your transaction as the stocks that are up for sale may run out at any moment — add the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook to your cart and complete the checkout process today.

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.
