iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models in the U.S. feature an antenna window on the top edge of the devices, for mmWave 5G signals to pass through.
Best Buy seems to be closing out this particular model, the HP Omnibook 5 Flip, as we've seen it go on sale several times in the last couple of months. But that doesn't mean it's a bad deal. The processor in particular, a 10-core model with speeds of up to 5.4Ghz, is particularly zippy for anything in this price range. Ditto for extras like the touchscreen (1080p) and IR camera for face-scanning logins, and 512GB of storage is about average at this price.
But the 16GB of DDR5 RAM is not average, it's generous for $550. And it's essential — I wouldn't buy a modern Windows 11 machine with any less, especially considering how crucial and memory-hungry modern browser are. The 2-in-1 (Yoga-style) hinge, double USB-C and USB-A, and full-sized HDMI ports would also be handy for a student or anyone who travels frequently, and the 68-watt-hour battery is pretty good for its 3.64-pound (1.65 kilogram) weight.
There's no time limit on this deal at the moment, but again, I wouldn't be surprised to see it pop up again at Best Buy in a few weeks. If this isn't to your liking, be sure to check out PCWorld's picks for the best laptops on the market.
Apple's new iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro models are just $100 apart and excel in different areas, creating one of the most difficult buying decisions for customers in years.
Microsoft wants to draw users' attention to the AI contained in Windows and encourage them to use the function. If this annoys you though, you can simply remove the menu entry via the registry.
Type "Registry Editor" in the search window of the taskbar and click on the hit Registry Editor. Click through to the folder "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\" and open the key Blocked.
If this key does not exist, right-click on Shell Extensions, go to New - Key and give the new key the name "Blocked".
The M3 chip in this MacBook Air is uber-fast, delivering outstanding performance whether you're working through spreadsheets or juggling dozens of Chrome tabs. When our friends at MacWorld reviewed this laptop, they praised its excellent battery life and its price-performance, ultimately giving it a fantastic 4.5-star rating.
Paired with a solid 24GB of Unified RAM and a 512GB SSD, you have an excellent everyday driver laptop that's perfect for work, fun, hobbies, streaming, and even photo editing. The 15.3-inch Liquid Retina Display makes everything look crisp and high-def, while also being easy to work with in all lighting conditions.
The M3 MacBook Air features two USB4 ports plus Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 for connectivity. The ports allow you to hook up an external 6K@60Hz display, or you can connect two 5K@60Hz displays (but you'll have to close the laptop lid for the latter). No other ports means it's a bit lacking for external storage and other peripherals, but you can get around that by getting a USB-C hub or docking station.
Apple will launch its new iPhone 17 lineup and ultra-thin iPhone Air in stores on Friday, September 19, and the company has already shown off the new devices at its fall event, which ran with the the tagline "Awe dropping."
