The USB-C Apple Pencil is on sale for $60 right now
Despite being the most reasonably priced Apple Pencil , there's still plenty to like here. It's the only Pencil that's compatible with nearly every iPad in Apple's lineup. This includes the iPad Air (M2), iPad Pro (M4), iPad (10th gen) and iPad mini (6th gen). It even works with the older 12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd-6th gen), 11-inch iPad Pro (1st-4th gen) and iPad Air (4th and 5th gen). Of course, it also integrates nicely with the recently-released iPad mini (7th gen.)
This is a record low price. $60 at Woot
The model offers tilt sensitivity and will attach to the side of iPads with magnetic holders. This is a great option for casual users who just want a stylus for casual writing or for navigating around a device. This is especially true for owners of the iPad (10th gen.) That tablet doesn't work with either of Apple's higher-end stylus options.
However, there are some downgrades when compared to the Pencil Pro and the second-gen Pencil. The USB-C Apple Pencil can't handle pressure sensitivity, which limits options for illustrators. It also won't charge while magnetically attached. It charges via a USB-C cable. The accessory is slightly-shorter than the higher-end models and that could be an issue for those with large hands. Otherwise, this is a fine stylus for Apple devices.

The 15″ Lenovo ThinkBook (40GB RAM) at Almost 70% Off Feels Like Free, Even Cheaper Than the 16GB Model
Back-to-school sales are in full swing, and after Black Friday, this is one of the best times to snag tech essentials without stretching your budget. Teachers, students, work professionals, or gamers – if a laptop upgrade has been due, now's a smart time to make the move. Amazon has dropped the 4th-generation 15.6-inch Lenovo ThinkBook to just $750 after a massive 66% discount. The machine normally retails for $2,200, so this is a massive $1,450 drop, something we haven't seen in a long time for a laptop with this kind of hardware. See at Amazon The laptop boasts an impressive 15.6-inch full HD, anti-glare screen with narrow bezels, which means the borders around the display are thinner than on standard laptops. A 15.6-inch screen is a pretty standard size for most work machines in this range, but pairing it with ultra-thin bezels is less common, so it's nice to see it here. You'll enjoy more screen space for your assignments, presentations, movies, and more. Of course, you can't multitask without some serious power, and for that, Lenovo packs this machine with an AMD Ryzen 7 5825U processor, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads with speeds up to 4.5GHz. The RAM is where it shines even brighter – 40GB for enthusiasts who can't let anything slow them down. Storage is just as generous with a 1TB PCIe SSD, so you've also got plenty of space for everything you own right now and will do in the future. All of this in a single package means impressive, speedy performance even with heavy-duty applications. And if the current setup ever starts to feel limited, know that the AMD Radeon Graphics lets you connect up to three external 4K monitors via HDMI and USB-C. The ThinkBook includes multiple USB-A and USB-C ports, HDMI 2.1, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi 6 for strong connectivity. If you take online and offline security seriously (as everyone should), you will appreciate features like the fingerprint reader for secure logins and the physical webcam shutter so you don't feel like your laptop is spying on you. Every day accidents won't be a problem, either, since the keyboard is spill-resistant and ThinkBook meets MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability standards. It runs on Windows 11 Pro, and considering all the tools the operating system is already packed with, you really won't need to spend a lot of time setting the machine up. At $750, down from $2,200, this laptop packs a punch and won't drain your wallet. See at Amazon

A modder created the iPadBook that Apple won't
Apple has little interest in merging iPadOS and macOS, or bringing its desktop operating system to its touchscreen tablet. So a Chinese modder took it upon themselves to create a hybrid laptop they're calling the iPadBook featuring both operating systems in a single device that lets you switch from macOS to iPadOS by simply detaching its screen. Modder Shu Chan started by removing the display from an M1 MacBook Air and installing a custom-designed, 3D-printed magnetic hinge they've dubbed MagBaka that uses 12 magnets to hold an iPad Pro in place as its replacement screen. The dock works alongside a custom case for the iPad Pro, and although the tablet isn't quite as wide as the MacBook Air when connected, there's a high level of polish to this mod that almost makes it look like something Apple would make. When attached, the iPad Pro serves as an external (and primary) display for the MacBook Air complete with touch and Apple Pencil support, and when removed it becomes a standard M4-powered iPad Pro.
