It's very rare that we recommend a five year old laptop, but this MacBook Air is a lot of computer for the price. It's $50 off where we've seen it the rest of the year, and $400 off the price it was when it launched back in 2020. Look, it's almost 5 years old, if you can afford the extra $250, it's well worth buying the M4 MacBook Air, but if you're on a tight budget, this is probably the best laptop you can buy at this price.
The Surface Pro 11th Edition offers great performance and battery life to match its excellent design and build quality. A true iPad Pro alternative for Windows users. With the latest Surface Pro keyboard, you can now even work while disconnected from the device.
The Asus Chromebook CX15 is quite nice for this price. Its bezels aren't overly large, and the keyboard feels great to type on. These deals nets you 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The 1080p, 15-inch screen is nice and bright and easy to see.
No one needs an iPad, but they're fun to have. These days, with support for conventional windowing (finally) you can justify it by saying you'll do some work on it. After you get done watching movies, thumbing through your social feeds, and messing around with Garageband. Tech Deals

JBL Flips are great speakers. The latest model (Flip 7) is the best, but at those price the Flip 6 is a good deal, in some ways better. It has support for PartyBoost, JBL's system for connecting multiple models in tandem, something that was dropped from the Flip 7.
Did you dog chew up your Apple Pencil too? No? Just me I guess. I was excited to see this deal so I could get a new one without paying full price. Just make sure it's the right model for your iPad before you invest.
Asus mesh systems are great because they come with free, comprehensive security software and parental controls (no subscription required). That's part of why this router is the top pick in our Best Mesh Routers guide. It's fast and stable, and will cover the average home.

This is the best gaming mouse you can get for under $50. True, it does not have the extreme sensitivity of more expensive options, but so long as you're not an aspiring esports athlete, we don't think you need anything more.
The Logitech G Pro X TKL is the best keyboard you can buy. The linear switches feel luxurious and we like that there's no number pad. This sale price makes it a must-buy if you're in the market for a gaming keyboard.
This is our favorite USB flash drive. It's got speed and reliability at a great price (even better right now). The durable aluminum case has a loop you can use to put it on your key ring. This deal is going fast (smaller sizes are already sold out, but this and the larger version remain available).

Fujifilm's latest Instax Mini is very similar to the popular bubble gum-looking models like the Mini 11 (don't buy) and Mini 12, but uses a more understated, camera-like design. If you don't need the case and film, you can snag just the Mini 41 for $99 ($21 off), though the film pack bundle is a better deal. TV and Audio Deals

This QLED TV has excellent clarity, accurate and intense colors, and brightness levels that make it look great even in the sunniest rooms. It's not the best when looking at from the side, but its mini LED backlight gives you nice deep blacks and helps the image look nice and crisp.
Sony's Bravia 8 II is a truly beautiful TV, with pristine image clarity and incredibly vivid colors. It looks good from the side, and has some nice gaming features. The black levels aren't the deepest, and the overall contrast is less than some others, but otherwise this a great TV.

Rumble considers near $1.2 billion offer for German AI cloud group Northern Data
(Reuters) -U.S.-listed video platform Rumble is considering a potential offer of about $1.17 billion (1 billion euro) for German AI cloud group Northern Data AG, according to separate statements from the companies and Reuters calculations. Rumble, also a cloud services provider, said a deal would integrate Northern Data's data center business and GPU cloud business with a significant number of Nvidia GPUs, into Rumble's existing operations. Rumble is considering offering 2.319 shares for each Northern Data share, both companies said. The exchange values Northern Data at about $18.3 per share (about 15.69 euros per share), based on Reuters calculations. This is at a discount of about 32% to the German company's last close. Rumble said its proposed offer assumes Northern Data's Peak Mining unit will be divested prior to the completion of the deal. Tether, the majority shareholder of Northern Data, has expressed support for the transaction, according to the statements. However, the companies said there is no certainty that the discussions will eventually result in a formal offer for the German group. (1 euro = $1.1664)

The American Fighting to Pry His Company Back From the Kremlin's Grasp
American businessman Leonid Smirnov first got the feeling that something was off when local Russian newspapers began airing rumors that the government was looking at taking over his company, the biggest producer of canned goods in the country. It was only when he received a phone call from an employee at 3:30 a.m. at his Los Angeles residence last October that he found out for sure that Russian President Vladimir Putin had ordered the nationalization of Glavprodukt. His was the first U.S.-owned company to fall victim to what is now a mounting wave of Kremlin business seizures.

White House to clarify tariffs for gold bars as industry stops flying bullion to US
By Polina Devitt LONDON (Reuters) -The White House plans to clarify what its official called misinformation about import tariffs for gold bars amid uncertainty, which saw some industry players pausing deliveries of bullion to the United States. According to a ruling on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) service's website on Friday, Washington may place the most widely traded gold bullion bars in the United States under country-specific import tariffs, a move that would roil the metal's global supply chains. The White House intends to issue an executive order in the near future "clarifying misinformation" about tariffs on gold bars and other specialty products, the White House official told Reuters on Friday. U.S. gold futures pared gains after the White House comment. They were last up 0.1% at $3,457 per ounce, reducing a premium over spot gold, the global benchmark, which was steady at $3,398. [GOL/] The CBP ruling refers to cast gold bars from Switzerland, the world's biggest bullion refining and transit hub, which is now subject to U.S. import tariffs of 39%. The CBP said that the correct HS customs code to use when supplying 1 kg bullion bars and 100 troy ounce bullion bars, the most traded sizes in the U.S. futures market, to the U.S. would be 7108.13.5500 and not 7108.12.10. However, Washington included only the latter code in the list of products excluded from country-specific import tariffs in April, with 7108.13.5500 not on the list. The Swiss Association of Precious Metals Manufacturers and Traders (ASFCMP) said in a statement that the clarification applied to any country delivering these bars to the U.S. "The United States is a longstanding market for us, so this is a blow for the industry and for Switzerland," Christoph Wild, president of the ASFCMP, told Reuters. "With a tariff of 39%, exports of gold bars will be definitely stopped to the U.S," Wild said. While Switzerland is the refining and transit hub, Britain is home to the world's largest over-the-counter gold trading hub, and South Africa and Canada are among major gold miners. "Likely imposing 39% tariffs on Swiss kilobars is akin to pouring sand into an otherwise well-functioning engine. I say "likely"...the possibility remains that this is an error," said independent analyst Ross Norman. A major gold refinery in Switzerland stopped deliveries to the U.S. after seeing the CBP ruling, a top manager at the refinery told Reuters, while a gold logistics specialist said some other industry players outside Switzerland did the same. The White House's upcoming executive order "should hopefully clear things up," said the logistics source. Protecting the U.S. gold futures during this uncertainty are high stocks of gold in Comex-owned warehouses, after massive inflows over December-March as traders hedged against the possibility of broad U.S. tariffs hitting bullion imports. "The COMEX inventories currently amount to 86% of open interest - against a more normal 40-45% - so there is no liquidity issue at present," said StoneX analyst Rhona O'Connell.
