This Ryzen AI 7 2-in-1 laptop with 24GB RAM is $350 off
16GB of RAM is the minimum I’d recommend for anyone running Windows 11 at this point. But if you’re a browser tab addict or you’re running a lot of high-end software, even that might not be enough. This HP Omnibook X comes with some impressive upgrades, including a Ryzen AI 7 350 processor and 24GB of RAM, and it’s just $750 today, which is $350 off the retail price. That 8-core processor also comes with some impressive integrated graphics (you’ll be able to run most new games at medium-ish settings) and a 50-TOPS NPU, which means this Omnibook X 14-inch laptop qualifies as a Copilot+ design. Other highlights include 1TB of storage, a 5 megapixel infrared camera for Windows Hello, and a 14-inch, 1900×1200 touchscreen that can fold flat or convert to tablet mode. The laptop is fairly sleek at 3.11 pounds and 0.58 inches thick, and I appreciate that it doubles up on both USB-C and USB-A ports, as well as HDMI. HP claims 19.5 hours of battery life on the three cell battery, which seems… incredibly optimistic. But yeah, the newest AMD processors are very efficient, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see this thing get past the 12-hour mark on a single charge. Best Buy is selling this thing at a significant discount — it’s pretty rare to find a laptop with a high-end processor and these specs below four figures. There’s no indication of when the sale ends. If you’re looking for something a little cheaper, or maybe with a discrete GPU for gaming, check out PCWorld’s roundup of the best laptops on the market.

Windows 11’s crucial Restore Points now self-destruct after 60 days
Windows 11 users will need to keep a close eye on their operating system’s restore points if they want to be able to recover their PC after a major outage, Windows Latest reports. With the June update, Windows 11 24H2, Microsoft announced that restore points in Windows 11 24H2 will now be stored for 60 days. Previously, Windows stored them for up to 90 days. Microsoft writes under the “System Restore” entry: “After installing the June 2025 Windows security update, Windows 11, version 24H2 will retain system restore points for up to 60 days. To apply a restore point, select “Open System Restore.” Restore points older than 60 days are not available. This 60-day limit will also apply to future versions of Windows 11, version 24H2.” The new time limit will also apply to future versions of Windows 11 24H2 and likely also to Windows 11 25H2, which will be released in fall 2025.
