This 17″ HP Laptop (64GB RAM, 2TB SSD, Win 11 Pro) Drops by $3,700 on Amazon, Now Costs Peanuts After Memorial Day
If you've ever shopped for a high-performance laptop, you're probably aware of how quickly prices explode past the $2,000 mark, especially when you want real power under the hood. But every once in a while, a deal comes along that's so out of the ordinary and it feels like an alien has landed in the laptop market. That's exactly what's happening right now with this HP 17.3″ touchscreen 64GB RAM / 2TB SSD / Intel Core 7 laptop which has seen its price slashed by an almost unbelievable $3,700 on Amazon just after Memorial Day: At $1,139 down from a typical $4,809, this laptop is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a performance machine at a price that's almost unheard of. See at Amazon Best in Class Laptop Let's get into the specs, because this HP laptop is a beast by any measure: At the center of it all is Intel's newest Core 7-150U processor with 10 cores and up to 5.4 GHz turbo speeds. This CPU provides the sort of raw power typically found in high-end desktops. Whether you're crunching huge spreadsheets, editing 4K video, or running dozens of browser tabs at the same time, this processor won't bat an eye. Pair that with a staggering 64GB of RAM, and you've got a multitasking beast that can handle anything you can throw at it.

Whether you need to connect to external displays, projectors, or high-speed storage solutions, this laptop has you covered. One of the most impressive extras is perhaps the fact that this laptop includes a lifetime license for Microsoft Office Professional: That's complete versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, and Publisher—no subscription, no hidden fees, just the whole suite for as long as you own the laptop. If you need to download Office for school or work, that's worth a lot of added value right there. And to top it all off, HP throws in a free mouse.

Audi Gaming Seats Combine Sim Racing and Office Chair Ergonomics
The latest car news, reviews, and features. Seating position matters behind the wheel … and behind the desk. I'm not a fan of fatigue, and I'm sure you're not, either. The latest carmaker collab involves Audi and brings high-performance, high-priced chairs for hardcore gamers. Or, you know, if you drive an Audi and put one of these in your office you can pretend you're still commuting when you log on. In a licensing partnership with Vertagear, the Audi collection includes three designs that probably amount to over-engineered, glorified office chairs. But Vertagear is an industry leader when it comes to esports comfort, so this special edition trio of seats likely exceeds expectations in terms of fit, finish, and fatigue-fighting. Ranging in price from $499.99 to $699.99, you would hope so, anyway. The collaboration set includes the SL3800 Audi Edition, SL5800 RS Edition, and PL4800 Audi Sport Edition. The entry-level SL3800 is about daily driver comfort. Its steel frame construction is wrapped in ultra-premium foam and high-quality synthetic leather. The gaming seat features Vertagear's patented CounterMax lumbar support for improved posture and reduced tension, and its VertaAir Seat System, which enhances breathability and circulation via air-cushioning. The SL3800 also comes with a supportive neck pillow and a number of available seat adjustments. Sized for gamers up to 6 feet tall and 250 pounds, the recommended user size is slightly smaller at 5'10' and 220 pounds. Next up is the SL5800 RS Edition. Able to support heights of up to 6'4″ and up to 260 pounds, the second offering features upgraded materials and the velvet fabric HygennX, which provides odor control and quick drying via coffee ground-infused nanotechnology. I guess that means, if you spill coffee on it, you won't notice? The company's explanation is this: 'Nano-sized coffee granules within purified coffee grounds are weaved into our HygennX fibers and embedded into our HygennX padding where they absorb and neutralize odors.' Not having tried it, we can't say whether or not that actually works but it does sound clever. The SL5800 RS Edition has a net weight of 62.6 pounds, which is identical to the SL3800. Slightly heavier is the 63.5-pound PL4800 Audi Sport Edition. If you're one to shop at big and tall stores, this is the Audi gamer chair for you. Intended for users up to 6'6″ tall, this model can accommodate weights up to 360 pounds. Seating material is NuSuede, which is a durable, high-performance microsuede that is also used on the entry model chair. The premium model is outfitted with Audi Sport design elements and offers additional adjustment features. All chairs are available now for pre-order, but are scheduled to ship out on July 15. Don't worry, shipping is free, and Vertagear products come with a 10-year limited warranty. Seen any other fun automotive-adjacent furniture?

5 Navy SEAL strategies to turn stress into success in any situation
Rich Diviney spent 21 years as a Navy SEAL, leading and operating on missions around the globe. In that time, he completed multiple combat deployments and had the honor of serving as the Commanding Officer of a SEAL Command. One of his most pivotal roles was running a specialized Selection and Assessment program for one of the most elite SEAL units. He also spearheaded the SEALs' 'Mind Gym' to train soldiers' minds to perform better under stress. Today, he teaches optimal performance to thousands of business, athletic, and military leaders. What's the big idea? What makes someone able to thrive in conditions of extreme stress, challenge, and uncertainty? Why do some people falter when the pressure rises, while others step forward with clarity and strength? High performance under pressure isn't limited to Navy SEALs. It's not about being fearless or superhuman. It's about tapping into human capabilities that we all possess—capabilities that can be trained, honed, and applied in any environment. Below, Rich shares five key insights from his new book, Masters of Uncertainty: The Navy SEAL Way to Turn Stress into Success for You and Your Team. Listen to the audio version—read by Rich himself—in the Next Big Idea App. 1. Uncertainty is the only certainty On May 2, 2011, a SEAL team launched one of the most daring missions in modern history: the operation to capture or kill Osama bin Laden. They trained relentlessly. They built a replica of the compound. They rehearsed every move, down to the second. The moment they got on target, everything changed. One of the helicopters crashed. Timelines shifted. Entry points failed. All that preparation didn't mean much—unless they could adapt. That mission succeeded not because they had a perfect plan, but because they knew how to perform inside the chaos. That's what Masters of Uncertainty is about. Peak performance is a myth. It depends on perfect conditions, and life is rarely perfect. What matters more is optimal performance: showing up with the best you have in that moment, no matter what that best looks like.
