HP has come out with a few different updates of this 2-in-1 laptop, and it has remained one of our favorites throughout its wonderful. We actually gave the 2019 HP Spectre x360 13 an impressive 10 out of 10 in our review — which is a rare sight for any laptop we look at. With great battery life, a comfy and precise keyboard, and convertible nature it is a really good choice for anyone hoping to be productive. This particular option offers an Intel Core i5 processor, 8 GB of memory, and 256 GB SSD. This is currently the most affordable configuration we could find, but you can scale up processing power and memory while maintaining that same discount.

Normally priced around $1,150, you can pick up this HP convertible laptop for as low as $950 right now.  If you’re looking for the best laptop under $1,000 during this Labor Day sale, this is it.

A lot of lightweight 2-in-1s lean towards the smaller side of things with their 13-inch displays, but if you like the extra screen real estate that a standard-sized panel gives you, the HP Envy x360 15 might be the one for you. Its 15.6-inch touch display is gorgeous, and aside from some design quirks (like its arguably unnecessary numpad), the Envy’s design is great. The screen folds flat for tablet-like use with the included HP Pen or your fingers, while hardware like 8th gen Intel CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD the snappy performance you’d expect from a modern multitasking machine.

The HP Envy x360 15 is one of the best deals of the HP Stars, Stripes, and Savings sale, and it’s available in two different CPU configurations: The Intel Core i5 CPU variant is just $600, or $270 off, while the upgraded Intel Core i7 model can be yours for $700, saving you $330.

Intel Core Series 3 Processors Featured

Apple's MacBook Neo has shaken up the budget laptop market with its $599 price tag and surprisingly capable A18 Pro chip. But if fresh benchmark numbers are anything to go by, Intel may finally have a worthy response. The company's upcoming Core 3 304 processor has surfaced on PassMark, and the results suggest that entry-level Windows laptops could soon be much more competitive.

Hackers leak facial recognition records tied to millions of Madison Square Garden visitors
Facial Recognition Composite

Madison Square Garden has spent years using facial recognition technology to monitor who enters its venues. Now, that same surveillance system is at the center of what could become one of the year's most troubling privacy breaches.

The cybercrime group ShinyHunters has published a massive cache of data allegedly stolen from Madison Square Garden Entertainment after the company missed a ransom deadline. According to reports, the leak includes facial recognition records, customer information, internal security assessments, and other sensitive data tied to millions of visitors. While large-scale breaches have become depressingly common, this one feels different. Most data leaks involve passwords, email addresses, or financial information. This breach reportedly includes something far more personal: information connected to how people were monitored and identified in physical spaces.

Windows 11’s modern Media Player is somehow worse than the version from 17 years ago
The modern Media Player for Windows 11 is slower and heavier than the classic version
Windows 11 media player user interface

Microsoft has released a new Insider Preview update for the modern Windows 11 Media Player. However, the app is facing criticism after tests revealed it uses more memory and opens local video files more slowly than the classic 17-year-old Windows Media Player.

The update adds some useful fixes, including better captions, clearer codec errors, and improved file recognition. But the biggest complaints remain higher RAM usage and paid codec support for some common video formats. The update is not available to everyone yet. Media Player version 11.2605.14.0 has only arrived on Experimental Insider builds as part of Microsoft’s June 12 Insider Preview releases.
