Good Value, Good Performance
What immediately sets this HP laptop apart is its great balance of performance and value : It is powered by the Intel N150 processor which outperforms the previous N4120 generation (it's obviously not the most powerful of Intel's processors but you have to keep in mind just how attractive the price is), the device offers four cores and a maximum clock speed of 3.60 GHz. This will be way enough for browsing the web, editing photos or running productivity apps.
The 14-inch HD LED has anti-glare and micro-edge, and it offers a comfortable viewing experience. The bezel-less screen looks streamlined and facilitates seamless multi-monitor configurations if you're into extending your workspace. Video conferencing and online meetings are as clear as day due to the HP True Vision 720p HD camera and built-in dual-array speakers which maintain your conversations sharp even when lighting is poor.
Memory and storage are usually where budget laptops cut corners, but not so here: At 16GB of DDR4 RAM, this HP 14″ laptop ensures you can multitask with multiple programs open simultaneously without lag. Storage is generous and flexible, with a fast 128GB UFS drive supplemented by an additional 256GB microSD card which gives you a total of 384GB for your files.
The laptop is fitted with a functional set of ports, which is great if you're looking for a 'productivity tool': a USB Type-C, two USB Type-A, HDMI, and a multi-format SD card reader. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth support also ensure speedy, secure wireless connectivity.
What's great with this deal is that you'll enjoy Microsoft Office Pro for life. Unlike many laptops that come with only a trial version, this 2025 HP model provides a perpetual license-meaning you'll never have to worry about paying extra for downloading Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more. Windows 11 Pro is also included so you can access powerful productivity and security features right away. The addition of Copilot which is Microsoft's AI-powered assistant takes your ability to work on projects, solve problems, and get yourself organized even further.
With nearly $800 off and a suite of premium features, it's one of the best laptop bargains available on Amazon right now.

Ninja's Glass-Bowl Air Fryer Won Me Over. Here Are 4 Reasons I Made the Switch
CNET's expert staff reviews and rates dozens of new products and services each month, building on more than a quarter century of expertise. 9.2 / 10 SCORE Ninja Crispi $180 at Amazon $180 at Best Buy $180 at Target Pros Cook, serve, and storage capabilities Easy to clean: almost everything is dishwasher-safe Intuitive operation No concern about PFAS Ability to see cooking in progress Can buy additional glass vessels for maximum food prep Small storage footprint with nesting capabilities Portable Cons Price is on the high side for air fryers Some exposed hot elements during operation Ninja Crispi 9.2/10 CNET Score $180 at Amazon We're a little obsessed with air fryers around here. We've spent countless hours putting them through their paces -- testing everything from frozen snacks to full meals -- while also evaluating how each model performs. This past spring, a new contender stood out: an air fryer with a sleek glass cooking chambe that breaks from the usual bulky black-box design and hard-to-get-really-clean nonstick basket. After running it through our full battery of tests, it didn't just pass -- it quickly became the favorite. The result? It earned CNET's Editor's Choice award and claimed the top spot on our Best Air Fryers of 2025 list. The Ninja Crispi is our new favorite air fryer. Ninja Read more: Air Fryer Fails: 8 Foods That Just Can't Handle the Heat The Crispi is one of the more expensive air fryers we've tested at $160. But if you're hunting for an air fryer that's easy to use, easy to get clean -- like, really clean -- built to last and causes no concern about ingesting cookware chemicals, the Ninja Crispi is worth a look. Here's how it works and four reasons I switched to a glass-bowl air fryer in 2025. Ninja Crispi 4-in-1 portable glass air fryer at a glance Style : Modular air fryer with two sizes of glass cooking vessels and a separate cooking pod in three color options : Modular air fryer with two sizes of glass cooking vessels and a separate cooking pod in three color options Dimensions : 13.5 by 12 by 13.5 inches : 13.5 by 12 by 13.5 inches Power : 1,500 watts : 1,500 watts Weight : 15.74 pounds : 15.74 pounds Price $160 Ninja Crispi operation: How it's different Being able to visually track progress is one of the big draws for Ninja's new air fryer. Pamela Vachon/CNET The cooking pod itself includes crisp, bake, air fry and max crisp functions. Crisp is intended to revive leftovers, while max crisp is the ideal setting for packaged frozen foods. While it is tempting, given its baking dish look, the glass TempWare bowls are not intended to be used as the actual cooking vessels for batters in bake mode, because air still needs to circulate below the cooking vessels to be effective. (Will I try anyway? The temptation is real…) Pressing any button will indicate a digital timer to which you can add or subtract minutes. (The timer defaults to 10.) Below 1 minute, the timer changes into seconds and the device beeps to alert you when the cycle is complete. Overall, the sound level of the Ninja Crispi was similar to conventional air fryer models, with just a moderate whir when operating. 4 reasons I switched to the glass-bowl Ninja Crispi You can see what you're cooking My brussels sprouts got a good char in the Crispi. Pamela Vachon/CNET As expected, the ability to see the cooking in progress was really satisfying, both from a nerdy perspective and also to be able to look for visual cues in terms of when to flip your items or to assess doneness. Both chicken parts and Brussels sprouts were cooked evenly and efficiently with little risk of over-cooking given the 360-degree window into the proceedings. 2. Glass bowls are nontoxic and easy to get clean NInja Most air fryers use aluminum cooking baskets with a nonstick coating. Those coatings tend to chip and breakdown if you're not careful. Plenty of folks are concerned about the health ramifications for ingesting nonstick chemicals that chip of of cookware. With a glass-bowl air fryer, there's no worry. If that's not enough, glass is much easier to deep-clean than nonstick surfaces and you can use the dishwasher without issue. 3. The glass bowls double as food storage containers The cooked food is ready to be packed away or brought to a party as soon as it's done. Pamela Vachon/CNET The versatility, however, makes the Ninja Crispi tremendously interesting, especially for avid meal preppers. Full meals or individual cooked components can go right from cooking into the fridge, with the included lids for easy storage. (Although I am bound by refrigerator logistics to tell you to let it all cool first, so you don't inadvertently raise the temperature inside your fridge.) Additional cooking bowls in a variety of sizes can be purchased separately, allowing for the possibility of a multitude of individually cooked meals with no cleanup required in between use: just transfer the cooking pod from one cooking vessel to the next, assembly-line style. Sunday meal prep has never been easier, nor required fewer dishes. 4. It's easy to store The Ninja Crispi is also easy to store, with a footprint and height requirement that is far less than a lot of conventional models. It also makes for easy portability -- ideal for a potluck situation or even just a hot-meal self-care moment -- where you could even justify cooking on site. Either of the cooking bowls and the cooking pod could easily fit in a shoulder bag. If I worked in an office, it would thrill me to bring the whole thing with me to have a hot, healthful lunch without reheating. Although if you're contemplating being the person to cook fish directly at your desk -- maybe don't. Not only can the larger 4-quart bowl be used directly as a family-style serving vessel -- whose practical feet preclude the need for a trivet or pot holder -- but one could argue that the smaller 4-cup vessel can be used to eat out of directly, significantly reducing the number of dishes to wash. Speaking of washing, everything except the cooking pod itself is dishwasher-safe. Ninja Crispy setup Convenient as it, the glass cooking chamber does get hotter than your average air fryer base. Pamela Vachon/CNET Despite not looking anything like a typical air fryer, the Ninja Crispi was intuitive to set up and use. Each of the glass cooking vessels has a built-in stand with feet that keeps it off the counter surface. Side handles are also fitted on the stands of the bowls, which allow not only for easy transporting between the counter and the table (because the vessels can also be used to serve) but also make it easy to shake the contents as needed during the cooking process. The nonstick crisper plates were packaged separately and simple to place inside the bowls and to remove for cleaning. Lids for the 6-cup and 4-quart bowls were also included: a snap-on lid for the smaller and a simpler press-on lid for the larger. The cooking pod itself has an ergonomic shape for easy lifting and also has feet for safe placement on the counter when not in use. The cooking pod sits easily on top of the 6-cup bowl and a big-batch adapter frame fits the cooking pod onto the larger bowl. Between unwrapping and rinsing all of the washable parts, I was ready to go in about 2 minutes. What I didn't like about the Ninja Crispi Convenient as it, the glass cooking chamber does get hotter than your average air fryer base. Pamela Vachon/CNET As a modular device with a ton of built-in practicality and versatility, I do think the Ninja Crispi is a game-changer in the air fryer market. That said, at $160 it's on the higher side, price-wise, for an air fryer. Those with little ones in the house also may want to note: When the cooking pod is being used with the adapter for large batches, the adapter can become hot and is potentially exposed once the heating pod is removed. Never minding little ones, if you're an absent-minded cook yourself, it can be a hazard. Read more: 8 Foods That Go From Good to Great in an Air Fryer Final verdict on the Ninja Crispi If you're a disciple of air fryer cooking and, especially if you have a serious commitment to meal prepping, the Ninja Crispi is arguably one of the most versatile models on the market. It's satisfying to use and easy to store and clean. You may want to look for it on sale during Prime Days or the like, but even without a discount, its utility and the reputation of the Ninja brand merits its price tag.

The Saturday Spread: Leveraging Practical Math to Extract Alpha in Hidden Places
Each of the ideas that I'm going to discuss all feature underlying narratives that help explain where they ended up heading into the weekend. Rehashing those talking points would be rather useless. I'm not being fatalistic but rather realistic. A few years ago, the earliest generative AI engines suffered from consistent hallucinations and other productivity headwinds, effectively serving as the digital gremlin that gave the proletariat an extended lifeline. But with hallucinations rapidly evaporating into the ionosphere, we have to face a new reality — AI can kick our hind ends. More News from Barchart Heavy Trading in Intel Put Options - Is Trouble Ahead for INTC Stock?

Subscribe today! What would take a CFA a day or two to compile ChatGPT can spit out in mere seconds. Some might be worried about the financial publication industry and the fact of the matter is that we all should be. If the core functionality of the CFA can be replaced, what does that say about everyone else? With that said, generative AI more or less operates in a linear fashion. It lacks the intellectual subversion of humans and that's where we come in. We're not going to play the game we're destined to lose. No, we're going to play the only game where we have a chance to win. You see, the fundamental mistake that the finpub industry is making is chasing value. That's an open-ended question with infinite answers. It's akin to asking investors how much a certain stock should be priced at — this leads to endless debates and unfalsifiable assertions. Instead, we should seek worth, as in, is that particular stock worth your time (money)? That's a yes-or-no question. And the answers are incredibly easy to categorize. Sure, compressing price action into a binary code may seem ridiculous — until you realize that this very code can be integrated into Bernoulli trials. From there, we can understand the probabilistic nature of the securities we're targeting, only acting when the odds favor us and simply avoiding when they don't. Welcome to applied game theory. CommVault Systems (CVLT) A cyber resilience and data protection software company, CommVault Systems (CVLT) suffered a rough week. On Friday, CVLT stock dropped nearly 1%, bringing its trailing-five-day loss to 4%. Even worse, in the trailing month, the security is down more than 5%. While circumstances may be ugly right now, the red ink could open an opportunity for risk-tolerant speculators. In the past two months, CVLT stock has printed a 4-6-D sequence: four up weeks, six down weeks, with a negative trajectory across the 10-week period. Think of this sequence as a voting record. During the past 10 weeks, the market voted to buy CVLT four times and voted to sell six times. We're not interested in how much it likes CommVault or whether it attended the rallies — we're just counting the votes. From observing past analogs, we know that since January 2019, the 4-6-D sequence has materialized 35 times. Enticingly, in 71.43% of cases, the following week's price action results in upside, with a median return of 3.07%. Should the bulls maintain control of the market for a third week, investors may anticipate a median added performance boost of 0.57%. Overall, the bulls may anticipate CVLT stock to rise above $170, so long as the sequence's implied forecast pans out. Using data provided by Barchart Premier, of the available multi-leg options strategies, the 165/170 bull call spread expiring Aug. 15 appears the most sensible. This transaction involves buying the $165 call and simultaneously selling the $170 call, for a net debit paid of $290 (the most that can be lost in the trade). Should CVLT stock rise through the short strike price ($170) at expiration, the maximum reward is $210, a payout of over 72%. Allegro MicroSystems (ALGM) A global semiconductor technology firm, Allegro MicroSystems (ALGM) is a leader in in sensing and power solutions, particularly for the e-mobility, clean energy and automation markets. Thanks to the underlying relevance, ALGM stock gained over 54% since the start of the year. However, in the trailing five sessions, ALGM is down roughly 10%, potentially providing a discount for aggressive speculators. In the past two months, ALGM stock has printed a 6-4-U sequence: six up weeks, four down weeks, positive trajectory. Since January 2019, this sequence has materialized 35 times. In 65.71% of cases, the following week's price action results in upside, with a median return of 4.88%. That will put ALGM on course to reach $35.34 very quickly if the implications pan out. Running a one-tailed binomial test on the 6-4-U sequence reveals a p-value of 6%, colloquially translating to a 94% confidence level that the pattern is 'intentional' rather than random. While not meeting the criteria for statistical significance, the low p-value suggests that the signal is more than just white noise. Plus, the baseline probability, or the chance that a long position in ALGM stock will be profitable on any given week, is only 51.21%. Therefore, the 6-4-U theoretically tilts the odds in our favor, which may warrant speculation. Bold traders may want to look at the 35.00/37.50 bull call spread expiring Sep. 19, 2025. Exact Sciences (EXAS) A molecular diagnostics company, Exact Sciences (EXAS) is a risky but intriguing idea. From the April lows, EXAS stock substantially higher, demonstrating upside mobility for traders. At the same time, the security is also volatile. Over the past five sessions, EXAS lost nearly 4% and in the trailing month, it's down about 7%. From a quantitative perspective, though, Exact Sciences could be intriguing. In the past two months, EXAS stock has printed a 2-8-D sequence: two up weeks, eight down weeks, negative trajectory. Ordinarily, the balance of distributive sessions far outweighing accumulative would scare off investors. However, in eight out of ten cases, the following week's price action results in upside. This far exceeds the baseline bullish probability of 52.48%, thus theoretically incentivizing a debit-based options strategy. Notably, the median return following the flashing of the 2-8-D sequence is 4.91%. Should the bulls maintain control for a second straight week, the median performance boost is an additional 2.43%. Basically, with EXAS stock closing on Friday at $48.49, it could be on pace to reach $52.11. Those interested in taking a shot may consider the 49/52 bull spread expiring Aug. 8. While this is temporally aggressive, the later expiration dates arguably don't provide compelling risk-reward structures.

Intel (INTC) Declines 8.5% on Dismal Earnings, New Round of Layoffs
We recently published . Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) is one of the worst-performing stocks on Friday. Intel Corp. dropped its share prices by 8.53 percent on Friday to close at $20.7 apiece as investor sentiment was weighed down by its dismal earnings performance, workforce reduction, and termination of plans to build new chip facilities in Europe. In a statement, Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) said attributable net loss widened by 81 percent to $2.1 billion from $1.6 billion in the same period last year, with revenues ending flat at $12.9 billion. Additionally, the company announced plans to cut its workforce further by 15 percent and terminate plans to build new chip facilities in Europe as part of its corporate restructuring initiatives to claw back to profitability. Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC), which was recently led by its new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, has turned aggressive on its corporate restructuring with layoffs, cutting stakes in companies it previously invested in, and rejecting new projects generating less than 50 percent of gross margin. While we acknowledge the potential of INTC as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
