Getting a quality laptop for college is must. Whether you’re saving the group project, watching Netflix during class (bad), or just showing off to your friends, you get through those four years without one.

When it comes to deals, Walmart does not mess around. You can find just about anything at Walmart — from furniture and appliance to pet supplies and cameras — and for some pretty good prices, too. Unlike other retailers (ahem Amazon), Walmart always offers free two-day shipping for orders over $35. So yeah. There’s that too.
If you slept through Prime Day or are just still hankering for a good deal, there are plenty of appliances and furniture on sale right now during Walmart’s “Ultimate Summer Specials.” (Their words, not ours.) Read more…

Don’t be “tech basic”: What you need to know about electronics and temperature control
/https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fstory%2Fthumbnail%2F76466%2Fb99449f9-6709-49a5-9921-489b369118c0.jpg)
Device temperature control may not be something you’ve spent much time thinking about, but it’s one of the key considerations that the engineers who design your electronics must take into account. In the video above, Lenovo Senior Competitive Analyst and “Explainer of Things” Kevin Beck details the process of optimizing thermal performance and why it matters — and he does so while sampling a series of increasingly spicy hot sauces.
As Beck progresses from mild to mouth-scorching hot sauces, you may notice that he’s not exactly functioning at peak eloquence. (In fact, he’s pretty much choking his way through the final sentences, peppering the interview with some… let’s call it “colorful” language.) In a way, the same thing happens to your electronic devices: When they get too hot, performance suffers. This is why you may have noticed your old PC getting glitchy when you’ve got 16 browser tabs open or when you’re six hours into an intense binge-watching session. It’s essentially your device’s way of saying, “$*#@, that’s hot!” Read more…

Amazon has this ASUS gaming laptop on sale for $300 off — the lowest price we’ve ever seen it
/https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fcard%2Fimage%2F796078%2F80a900b1-abb4-401b-8c73-811e7f4e9df4.png)
As much as console players don’t want to hear it (including myself), PC gaming does it better — from graphical power to control precision. However, shopping for them can be a bit difficult. It’s often a balancing act between cost and performance, especially when it comes to gaming laptops. But thanks to Amazon and ASUS, that headache has been drastically reduced.
The ASUS ROG STRIX Thin and Light gaming laptop is currently on sale for $999.99, down $300 from its regular price of $1299.99. The laptop comes loaded with a GTX 1050 4GB graphics card, an Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and a combo 256GB SSD/1TB HDD. That makes for a nice balance between price and performance, almost over-delivering for some other gaming laptops that start around the $999 price point. Read more…
