My Favorite Laptop for Travel (and a CNET Editors' Choice Award Winner) Is at an All-Time Low Price Today
I knew the moment I first saw the Asus Zenbook A14 at CES 2025 that it would be my new favorite travel laptop. This laptop is big on performance, boasting an amazing 32 hours (!) of battery life, a Snapdragon X Plus chipset, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage and an OLED display. But it's also super portable. It's one of the lightest 14-inch laptops available, weighing even less than Apple's MacBook Air. With all of that going for it, it's no wonder the Zenbook A14 ended up winning a CNET Editors' Choice Award and a Best of CES Award for best laptop. The single biggest downside when it first launched was the price. But it just went on sale at Best Buy for $400 off, bringing it down to an all-time low price of $600. My favorite version of this laptop, in the Zabriskie beige color, is now available for a discount of $200. As a result, the $1,000 laptop is going for just $800, no special codes needed. While this isn't the cheapest we've seen for this model (we saw a slightly bigger discount on it back in June), it's still a pretty good bargain on a laptop I highly recommend. If you've been looking for a lightweight, midrange laptop, this sale is your chance to score one you'll love at a much more wallet-friendly price. Why I recommend the Asus Zenbook A14 Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET The Asus Zenbook A14 is one of the best laptops you can buy right now, and there are three reasons it's become my go-to device. First, it offers a long battery life, and by long, I mean you can extend it up to two days without needing a charger. I can carry it in my travel backpack without worrying about the availability of a power outlet. In fact, the Snapdragon X variant is only the second laptop CNET has reviewed with a battery life of more than 24 hours, with the HP OmniBook X 14 lasting an hour longer. That brings me to the second reason I like using the Asus Zenbook A14: its OLED screen. The HP laptop lasted longer during CNET's test thanks to an LCD display, but the Zenbook doesn't compromise on its screen to deliver a stellar battery life. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. You get a 14-inch OLED panel with a 1,920x1,200-pixel resolution. It might not be as sharp as the 2.8K OLED screen on the Asus Zenbook S 14, but you won't find another laptop with this combo of more than 24-hour battery life and OLED display in this price range. I appreciate the OLED screen for its excellent contrast and deep black levels. In CNET's tests with a Spyder X colorimeter, it showed 100% coverage of the sRGB and P3 spaces and 97% of AdobeRGB. My only slight annoyance is the thick bezels, which make it a little less immersive than other Asus laptops. Third, the Asus Zenbook A14 is surprisingly lightweight. At just 2.4 pounds, it's the lightest Arm laptop you can buy. And Asus hasn't traded build quality for the lightweight form factor. Its Ceraluminum build is both rigid and lightweight, keeping the weight in check without making the laptop feel cheap or flimsy. Plus, it's scratch, smudge and fingerprint resistant. Things to keep in mind before you buy the Asus Zenbook A14 Prakhar Khanna/CNET Asus Zenbook A14's keyboard offers a satisfactory experience, and the trackpad is reliable. The A14's Snapdragon X Plus variant (on sale) is more powerful than the Snapdragon X model, but it isn't built for power-intensive tasks. If you want to use power-hungry video editing tools, this laptop is not for you. The M4 MacBook Air might better serve you for this use. This Asus Zenbook A14 is for those who are always on the go and want an extra-long battery life without compromising on screen quality. It's a great laptop, particularly at this price -- and especially if you're looking for an ultralight, ultralong-running laptop for travel. This low price is a screaming deal, and we don't expect it to last very long. But if the laptop itself doesn't seem to be quite what you need or if you just want to shop around a bit, it's always worth checking out our running list of the best laptop deals happening now.

Please, Please, PLEASE Don't Show This Post About Trump's Economy To Your MAGA-Supporting Family (Unless You Want To Start A Fight)
Want to know if Trump's economy is actually doing as well as he promised? Subscribe to the Economy Hate Watch newsletter and never miss our monthly update. Hi there, my name is Alexa, and for each month of Donald Trump's presidency, I'm tracking the real numbers achieved by his administration on BuzzFeed. (AKA the unemployment rate, cost of eggs, gas prices, inflation, the Dow Jones, whether citizens received a stimulus check, and Trump's overall approval rating.) Shockingly, it's not hyperbolic to say that last month, our biggest concern about Trump's impact on the economy centered around his meddling in a literal WAR after announcing US airstrikes on Iran. Related: Now we're faced with the repercussions of his One Big, Beautiful Bill — nicknamed the "Worst Bill in Modern American History" — being signed into law. Tasos Katopodis / Getty Images Among its many spooky factors, the bill is expected to add $3.4 TRILLION to the national debt. (Which the government would LOVE if you Venmo-ed them for. Ya know, like we're splitting a happy hour bill.) Twitter: @jackcorrbit So, with all this in mind, here's how the 79-year-old's June 2025 played out: Note: Data on inflation is released a few weeks after each month has ended, so our reports will look at the previous month's numbers. Unemployment has been teeter-tottering around 4–4.2% ever since Trump took office, and June is no different. This time, we're back at 4.1% according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Egg prices used to be the topic of dinner conversation, but now that the avian flu outbreak has become largely contained, supply is slowly coming back, and normal pricing comes with it. Related: However, when one barn door shuts, another barn door opens. Behind lucky door number two? Beef. In fact, the price per pound of beef has jumped about 12% since this time last year. And what's causing the jump? Unfortunately, it's not as simple as a virus. For the last 10 years, CNN reports that farmers have struggled with shrinking herd sizes, droughts throughout farming land in the US, lack of profitability, and an increase in imported beef prices. Now, everything seems to be catching up to us. Every time I report on gas prices, we get a flurry of comments from people saying they wish their receipts reflected the national average here. So I'm hesitant to inform that June's average was $3.276 per gallon. (Sorry, city dwellers. I know your gas station visits aren't nearly as that we're calling $3.276 low.) Related: In April, Trump claimed there was "virtually no inflation" in the US, and that remains just as false today as it did then. We do indeed have an inflation rate, and it's sitting at 2.7%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics — nearly as high as Biden's closing rate of 2.9%. The stock market being up is probably one of my favorite parts about this month's report. Why? Because of the irony. You see, it's amazing that our retirement accounts aren't screaming in as much pain as they were a few months ago when Trump first announced tariffs, and Wikipedia subsequently created a 2025 Stock Market Crash page. Which may make you consider: Hmmmmm, if pauses on tariffs are meant to end soon on Aug. 1, then why isn't the stock market reacting in the same way? One answer from economists? Because of Trump's new nickname: TACO (aka, Trump Always Chickens Out). Meaning, Trump's trade deals and tariff pauses have been an on-again-off-again affair that the market may have a hard time taking seriously now that it's meant to be on-again. The attitude seems to be, Why worry until we have to? That's good for citizens, at least, who saw a second month of gains. Nope, nope, nope. Not a benefit in sight. Everyone, let's slow clap together. Trump just reached a new milestone: The lowest approval rating of his second term so far. In June, Gallup reports the president had an approval rating of 40%. Breathtaking. Those are our stats for June. Now, let's look at comments we received on our last edition in a little section I like to call ✨Comment Corner✨. Related: Comment Corner #1: First, thank you! Second, I love this idea! Let's start our baseline before the One Big, Beautiful Bill was signed, which put individual Americans at about $7,000 per year on average for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. (This number can change due to many factors, including age, tier plans, whether you're a smoker, etc.) And it's very possible this number may change in the future, as the OBBB makes healthcare coverage harder to secure. Comment Corner #2: Speaking of the OBBB, this commenter shared their opinion that, "Unemployment numbers are going to go up soon" in their industry due to "mass layoffs because of the OBBB." Unemployment will be an interesting figure to watch across multiple industries because of the bill. One I'm keeping a particular eye on is the healthcare industry amid Trump's major reductions in federal support to Medicaid. Not only will these reductions lead to about 12 million more people being without health insurance by 2034, but rural hospitals, doctors, nurses, and staff who rely on Medicaid taxes to stay in operation will also suffer. Comment Corner #3: Shoutout to my fellow economy hate-watchers who inspired us to turn these reports into a newsletter, delivered right to your inbox so you never miss a post. Your readership keeps our little corner of the internet going. 🥹 Want to know if Trump's economy is actually doing as well as he promised?

Android TV is getting ready to kill off the Discover tab... last month? (APK teardown)
Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Android TV currently offers a Discover tab for getting recommendations and building your watchlist. A new update to the system launcher suggests that Google's planning to drop Discover and move your watchlist to the Home tab. Confusingly, Google's messaging in the app suggest that this change was supposed to take place in July. What does your usage of Android TV look like? Google's big-screen entertainment platform certainly tries to act as a hub that not just organizes all your streaming options in one place, but helps steer you in the direction of what you might want to check out next. Are you taking advantage of that, though, checking in on the Discover tab to get some recommendations from Google? Or are you more likely to dive right in to your favorite streaming app itself, and learn about what's new on a service-by-service basis? We wonder just how many users fall into that latter camp — and Google probably has been too, as the company seems to be getting ready to kill off Discover as we know it. ⚠️ An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release. At least, Google sure looks like it was getting ready to put an end to the Discover tab in Android TV. We're just a little less than sure if that plan is still in motion. Looking over the changes in Google's 7.1.7-787904429-f update for the Android TV Home app — basically the Android TV launcher that provides the base UI — we've identified some new text strings that reference plans to remove Discover: Code Copy Text Your recommendations and watchlist will move to the 'Home' tab. The Discover tab is going away soon The Home tab can already function as a reasonable enough tool for finding new content, especially when you add a few channel rows for your favorite apps. Consolidating Discover recommendations there makes enough sense if Google's looking to clean up some of Android TV's sprawl, and bringing the watchlist along sounds just fine. Considering how straightforward those strings read, where's our confusion coming from? Well, we also found these new strings: Code Copy Text The Discover tab was removed in July 2025. Also, customise your recommendation is on Home tab Your watchlist have moved to Home tab Today marks the start of August, and we're still seeing the Discover tab on all the Android TV devices we checked. More than that, we haven't yet seen the 'going away soon' message displayed, which sure seems intended to give users a bit of a heads-up in advance of the removal. For the moment, color us a little confused about Google's intentions here. Perhaps plans to kill Discover have already been canceled, but this unused code still managed to sneak in to a public build. Or maybe Discover really will be going away, but Google's had to push its timetable back a little. We'll keep an eye out for any further Android TV updates that might shed more light on the company's plans. Follow
