If you want a 2-in-1 laptop but the Microsoft Surface Pro 11 doesn’t appeal to you even with the discounts from Surface Pro deals, this alternative from Lenovo could be what you’ve been looking for. The Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Gen 2 Detachable, which comes with an estimated value of $2,429 for this particular configuration, will be yours for only $1,336 if you’re able to take advantage of this offer. That’s 45% off, which is equivalent to savings of $1,093, but since we’re not sure how much time is remaining on this discount, you should think about proceeding with your purchase right away.

Why you should buy the Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Gen 2 Detachable

The Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Gen 2 Detachable builds upon the success of its predecessor, the Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable, by upgrading performance with powerful components that include the Intel Core Ultra 5 134U processor, integrated Intel Graphics, and 16GB of RAM that’s on the same level as top-tier machines, according to our guide on how much RAM do you need. Its display is pretty nice as well — a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Full HD+ resolution for sharp details and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for durability.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Gen 2 Detachable comes with a folio keyboard, which enables it as a 2-in-1 laptop. The device starts as a tablet for easy handling, then transforms into a laptop by attaching the folio keyboard if you need to type documents. The Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Gen 2 Detachable also comes with the Lenovo Precision Pen for sketching and taking down notes, a 512GB SSD for ample storage space for your files and apps, and Windows 11 Pro for access to the operating system’s more advanced features.

Lenovo is a tried-and-tested source of laptop deals, including 2-in-1 laptop deals, and this offer for the Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Gen 2 Detachable is a great example. This alternative to Microsoft’s Surface Pro devices is on sale for just $1,336, which is $1,093 lower than the estimated value of $2,429 for this configuration. The 45% in savings may disappear at any moment though, so if you want to make sure that you don’t miss out on this bargain for the Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Gen 2 Detachable, you’re going to have to complete your transaction for it immediately.

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.
