HP 15.6″ Laptop (32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) Goes for Peanuts Thanks to Over 70% Off Back-to-School Steal

I have unfortunate news for the students out there. Summer will be over before you know. I for one am delighted to leave this humidity behind us, but those of you heading into back into the classroom at the end of August might think otherwise. Make sure you have everything you need to start off the fall semester strong.
Amazon has already kicked on a number of back-to-school deals on student laptops that are designed to handle everything your teachers throw at you. This HP laptop has a full list price of $1,699, but for a limited time, that number has been slashed down by a staggering 71%. That brings the price you pay to just $499, and save you a full $1,200 while the deal is active.

This laptop from HP measures in at 15.6 inches, striking a good balance between being large enough to have the screen real estate to easily get your work done and small enough to fold up nicely into any bag to schlep between the dorm and classes. The screen has a resolution 1920 by 1080 pixels and utilizes a thin bezel to maximize its workable space. The non-touch anti-glare screen is easy to view in bright rooms. It's comfortable for writing up late night essays or binge-watching old episodes of The Office.
Packed in we have a full 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD with 32GB of RAM. You can expect ample space to store all your files and being able to load them up quickly. Storage can be expanded up to 4TB. It's also working with a 4-core, 4-thread Intel N100 processor, capable of boosting up to 3.4 GHz., along with an Intel UHD graphics card. The laptop supports Wi-Fi 6E allowing for a speedy internet connection. It comes preinstalled with Windows 11 Pro.
Collaborate with other students remotely thanks to the integrated HP True Vision HD camera. This 720p camera has a built-in shutter which you can slide closed manually to ensure privacy when not in use. When on a call, you can ensure folks on the other end can hear you loud and clear by filtering out unwanted background noise using AI noise removal along with a mute mic hotkey along the keyboard.
As we approach the back-to-school season, Amazon has discounted this HP 15.6-inch laptop so students can prepare now for the coming semester. Get this HP laptop for the newly reduced price of just $499 and save yourself a whole $1,200 before the price reverts back up.

Intel stock rises on Q2 revenue beat, plans to cut 15% of workforce

Intel (INTC) reported its second quarter earnings after the bell on Thursday beating on revenue, but missing on earnings per share (EPS) due to impairment charges. The company said it is also cutting its headcount by 15% and expects to have approximately 75,000 employees by the end of the year. Intel also offered an upbeat Q3 revenue forecast of between $12.6 billion and $13.6 billion. Wall Street was expecting $12.6 billion. The chipmaker's stock rose more than 2% following the report. Shares of Intel are off 28% over the last 12 months, though up 13% year to date. Intel's market capitalization as of Thursday was $98 billion. Rival AMD's (AMD) market cap tops out at $262 billion. AI leader Nvidia (NVDA) dwarfs both companies with a market cap north of $4 trillion. For the quarter, Intel saw an adjusted loss per share of $0.10 on revenue of $12.8 billion. Wall Street was anticipating adjusted EPS of $0.01 on revenue of $11.8 billion, based on Bloomberg's analyst consensus data. The company reported adjusted EPS of $0.02 and $12.8 billion in revenue in the same period last year. Intel said it took an $800 million non-cash impairment and accelerated depreciation charges related to "excess tools with no identified re-use" and a roughly $200 million one-time period costs for Q2. The company has also cancelled planned projects in Germany and Poland and slowing construction of its facility in Ohio.

Intel is dealing with increased competition from both AMD (AMD) and the rising threat from Qualcomm (QCOM), which is pushing further into the PC chip space with its Snapdragon X Plus and X Elite chips. Intel's still-nascent Foundry business generated $4.4 billion in revenue versus expectations of $4.3 billion, up 2%. The division, which is meant to produce chips for third-party customers using Intel's processor technology, is still struggling to make meaningful headway. Intel previously announced it reached agreements to build chips for Microsoft and Amazon using its 18A technology, which former CEO Pat Gelsinger championed to help grow the company's manufacturing segment. But according to Reuters, Tan is considering promoting its next-generation 14A technology to customers. That could mean Intel would face a massive write-down on 18A. However, Intel would still continue to use 18A for its own internal products, including CPUs for consumer and enterprise devices. And an Intel spokesperson said the company had no comment on the matter. Tan has already undertaken or is exploring a number of cost-cutting measures at Intel. According to The Oregonian, the company is shuttering its automotive business, outsourcing marketing jobs, and laying off factory workers.

Intel to slash workforce by year-end as it forecasts steeper losses than expected

By Arsheeya Bajwa, Stephen Nellis and Max A. Cherney (Reuters) -Intel said on Thursday it plans to slash its headcount to 75,000 by the end of this year, down from 99,500 at the end of 2024. Shares of Intel jumped roughly 3.8% in extended trading. The Santa Clara, California-based chipmaker disclosed the layoff goals as it forecast steeper third-quarter losses than Wall Street estimates on Thursday, despite anticipating higher sales than analysts expected while new CEO Lip-Bu Tan steers the company through a historic turnaround. The outlook comes as investors pushed Intel's shares up 14% this year, in the hopes of Tan undoing years of strategic mistakes that have exempted the company from the AI boom dominated by Nvidia. The company said it expects a third-quarter loss of 24 cents per share, steeper than estimates of losses of 18 cents per share, according to data from LSEG. Intel expects revenue of $12.6 billion to $13.6 billion for the September quarter, with a midpoint of $13.1 billion that was higher than analysts' average estimate of $12.65 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Growth in the PC market is uncertain after customers pulled shipments forward to the first half of the year amid ongoing trade negotiations, analysts have said. Shipments of PCs rose 6.5% in the June quarter according to data from International Data Corporation. While semiconductors are currently exempt from U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping global tariffs, Intel and its fellow chipmakers are facing customers who are reluctant about spending commitments amid widespread macroeconomic uncertainty. Intel's second-quarter revenue for the period ended June 28 was flat at $12.9 billion, snapping a four-quarter streak of sales declines. The result beat estimates of $11.92 billion, according to LSEG data. CEO Tan has been focusing on a next-generation chipmaking process called 14A to win big external customers, shifting away from 18A, a technology that his predecessor Pat Gelsinger had spent billions of dollars to develop, Reuters has reported. Tan has also focused on streamlining the organization and reducing its workforce. In April, Intel agreed to sell a 51% stake in its Altera programmable chip business for $4.46 billion. Intel said job cuts contributed to restructuring costs of $1.9 billion in the second quarter. It recorded June quarter adjusted losses of 10 cents per share, compared with estimates of a profit of 1 cent per share. Its unadjusted loss was 67 cents per share in the second quarter, steeper than analyst estimates of a 26-cent-per-share loss. Sign in to access your portfolio
