Apple's latest MacBook Pro with M4 is down to its lowest price to date
The MacBook Pro 14 with M4 is one of our top laptop recommendations for students, and it's currently $1,299 ($300 off), an all-time low price at Amazon and Best Buy. In our tests, Apple's entry-level pro laptop was powerful enough to process high-resolution raw files in Adobe's Lightroom Classic without slowing down. It also easily clears the system requirements to play last month's port of Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate to MacOS. The laptop has a 14.2-inch high resolution (3024 x 1964) 120Hz Mini-LED display and runs on Apple's M4 processor, its latest chip. It has 16GB of RAM, which should be enough memory to keep the laptop running smoothly when you have dozens of tabs open, want to edit 4K video, or play games. Its 512GB of storage is sufficient for keeping some larger files on your computer instead of keeping them in the cloud, or constantly transferring them to and from a portable SSD. One distinct advantage the MacBook Pro has over the thinner and lighter MacBook Air is its port selection. The laptop is equipped with three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI port, and SD Card slot to connect to monitors, memory cards, and other accessories without a dongle. It also has a MagSafe port, so you don't have to unplug an accessory to charge the laptop. Speaking of charging, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4's battery lasted a little over 12 hours of moderate to heavy usage when we reviewed it. The apps you use and your preferred screen brightness level will heavily impact the laptops's battery life, but you should be able to get through the school or work day without having to plug it in.

Looking to Recycle an Old Laptop or Printer? Here's Where You Can Take It
Got an old laptop or printer gathering dust in a closet? You're not alone. A recent CNET survey found that nearly a third of US adults are still hanging onto outdated electronics because they just don't know what to do with them. And while tossing tech in the trash might seem like the easiest option, it's illegal in many states and could land you a fine. The good news? Recycling your old devices is easier than ever. Major retailers like Best Buy, Staples and Office Depot accept laptops, desktops, printers, and other electronics, often at no cost. Some stores will even give you store credit or discounts when you trade in eligible devices. Clearing out your unused tech not only frees up space in your home, but also keeps harmful components out of landfills. So if you've been holding onto gear you haven't used in years, now's the time to let it go the right way. Here's what you need to know about recycling your old tech. For more, learn how to recycle your old phones. What to do before recycling an old computer Wherever you choose to take or mail in your items to be recycled, you'll want to protect your data by removing it as best you can. One way to do this is to perform a factory reset on your computer. Our guide walks you through the process. Where to recycle old computers and printers Some retail stores will accept computers and printers for recycling, but it's not always a free service. Policies vary by company. Apple Store You can recycle your old Apple computers, monitors and peripherals, such as printers, for free at an Apple store, but there's a costly catch. According to the Apple Free Recycling program, you must also purchase a qualifying Apple computer or monitor to receive this service. Need another option? A third-party company called Gazelle buys old MacBooks to recycle them. After accepting Gazelle's offer, you print a prepaid label or request a prepaid box and ship the machine to them.

While three is the limit for most items, there's a higher limit for laptops -- Best Buy will take five of those per household per day. Note that rules for dropping off monitors vary by state, and it's not always free to do so. Best Buy also offers a mail-in recycling service for select items, but that's also not free. A small box that holds up to 6 pounds costs $23, while a large box (up to 15 pounds) costs $30. Office Depot stores Office Depot and OfficeMax merged in 2013. The retailers offer a tech trade-in program both in-store and online where you may be able to get a store gift card in exchange for your old computers and printers. If the device has no trade-in value, the company will recycle it for free. Office Depot also sells its own tech recycling boxes that you can fill with electronics to be recycled and then drop off at the stores, but they aren't free. The small boxes cost $8.39 and hold up to 20 pounds, the medium ones cost $18.29 and hold up to 40 pounds, and the large boxes cost $28 and hold up to 60 pounds. Staples stores You can bring your old desktop computers, laptops, printers and more to the Staples checkout counter to be recycled for free, even if they weren't purchased there. The retailer also has a free at-home battery recycling box which, according to a Staples rep, has led customers to recycle thousands of batteries per week, up from an earlier average of 50 per week. Here's a list of everything that can be recycled at Staples.

Earth911 recycling center Use the recycling center search function on Earth911 to find recycling centers near your ZIP code that accept laptops, desktops and printers. Note that the results may also turn up places that accept mobile phones and not computers or printers, so you may have to do a little filtering. Greener Gadgets recycling center Consult the Consumer Technology Association's Greener Gadgets Recycle Locator to find local recycling centers in your area that will take old items. The search function also allows you to filter the results to separately hunt for places that take computers versus printers.

The Ninja Swirl soft serve and ice cream maker is almost $50 off right now
If you're like me, then you'd agree there's really never a bad time to have ice cream. Even in the coldest months, I'll reach for a pint, frozen solid, in the back of my freezer. What's even more exciting, though, is that making your own frozen desserts has quite literally never been easier, thanks to appliances like the Ninja Slushi, Ninja Creami and the versatile Ninja Swirl. Right now, the Ninja Swirl — a part of the kitchen brand's Creami lineup — is almost $50 off at Best Buy. Deal of the Day 4.6-star average rating from 135 reviews on Amazon Though some prefer soft serve or ice cream, with the Ninja Swirl, you don't have to choose one or the other, so everyone gets what they want. This is what makes it different from the Ninja Creami, which specializes in making ice cream and comes with a pint-sized container for your desserts. The Ninja Swirl lets you make the same things, in addition to soft serve, frozen yogurt, sorbet and frozen desserts made from fruit and dairy, like Dole Whip. The appliance also has functions for making milkshakes and gelato, and it has a setting that lets you add in ingredients like chocolate chips, fruit, chocolate syrup and more, while the machine is at work. Once the timer on the front finishes and the soft serve is done, you can pull down the lever on the side and fill your preferred cup or cone. Want more from NBC Select?
