This 2-in-1 Laptop Is a Dream for Creatives and Prime Day Has It Slashed By Up to $450
For creative professionals, a versatile laptop that supports the right software and technology is essential. But not all laptops are created equal, nor do they rise to the occasion. The great news is that with Prime Day dropping prices left and right, tons of laptops are on sale. Among them is one that Cesar Cadenas, a writer for our sibling site ZDNET, called "ultraportable" and " a dream for creative professionals" in his review. The 16-inch LG Gram Pro 2-in-1 16GB/1TB is currently just $1,697 on Amazon right now. With an original list price of $2,100, that's $403 off. And if you want the 32GB/2TB version, it's currently $2,100, which is $450 off. Designed to be used as either a tablet or laptop, it weighs in at just over 3 pounds and, when closed, is only about half an inch thick. That makes this an excellent laptop for travel, commute, remote work and in-person meetings and presentations. It also has a flexible hinge that allows you to configure it depending on how you wish to use it. Essentially the hinge takes the generous 16-inch display back so it can be used like a tablet, or it can be propped up. The laptop has an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and hybrid AI solutions. Though both models come with quite a bit of storage, you also get an excellent experience with cloud-based software including advanced AI performance. And the battery boasts up to 19 hours on a single charge, giving iPads and MacBook Airs a run for their money. A stylus is also included with your purchase. Cardenas writes, "It doesn't require Bluetooth. All you have to do is attach it to the hidden magnet on the right side, give it a few seconds, and the pen will connect to the LG Gram." Plus this is how you charge the stylus. Best Prime Day Laptops Deals It's never too early to start shopping for an upgrade to your laptop, and our favorite Prime Day laptop deals are guaranteed to save you time and money. Check out the best savings here. See Now Why this deal matters Unless you're dead set on an M4 MacBook Pro, the LG Gram Pro makes a great, lightweight and incredibly versatile laptop solution. It has big storage capability and a generously sized screen, and it's pretty much brand new this year. Finding a laptop like this already discounted is rare. Whether you opt to save $400 or $450, you're getting a great deal.

I'm a Diehard Apple Fan, but This July 4th Offer on the Lenovo Tab Plus Has Me Seriously Reconsidering My iPad Obsession
I've been part of the Apple ecosystem for close to 20 years -- since first buying a MacBook in 2006 and getting a free iPod (remember those?) with my purchase. While these days I do most of my work on a much newer MacBook, I've used an older iPad for travel for a number of years. My teenage son is after a new tablet for himself, and though my instinct is to go back to Apple, this Fourth of July offer on the Lenovo Tab Plus has me seriously considering snapping one up. Available directly through Lenovo, the Lenovo Tab Plus is down to $220, a $130 discount on the usual price. For that you'll get 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage, great picture quality and excellent sound thanks to built-in JBL speakers. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. It turns out I'm not the only Apple devotee with a penchant for Android tablets. Cesar Cadenas, a writer over at CNET's sibling site ZDNet, wrote a favorable review of the Lenovo Tab Plus. Among his many praises, he particularly loved the JBL eight-speaker system, which packs a surprising punch. As someone who usually feels the need for an external speaker or headphones with my iPad, I love the idea of decent sound quality built in. The Lenovo Tab Plus features an 11.5-inch display, and weighs in at 1.4 pounds. That's pretty lightweight, which makes it ideal for travel. The other tempting feature, beyond that speaker setup, is the integrated kickstand for easy viewing. Ultimately, this device is made for streaming movies, gaming and maybe a bit of e-reading and light internet surfing. As a secondary device to a laptop, it makes a lot of sense. Especially for the teen who keeps borrowing my tablet. You'll also get a MediaTek Helio G99 processor and an Android 14 operating system, which can be upgraded to Android 16. It's capable of a 1TB of expandable storage capacity if you choose. Lenovo Tab Plus: $220 (Original price: $350) See at Lenovo Not convinced? Check out CNET's roundup of the best Fourth of July Apple deals right now. And be sure to browse through some of our other roundups for round the clock bargain updates, including items under $25, top deals from Amazon competitors like Best Buy, Walmart and Home Depot, and more. The Lenovo Pad Plus offers an elevated tablet experience with a decent-sized screen at an already competitive price of $350. With that price dropped down by more than $100, it places this Android tablet firmly in the running, especially if you're on the hunt for a device for a student.
