Other World Computing discounts hardware, Apple gear for holidays

This story is part of Digital Trends' Cyber Monday coverage 2024

OCWBy now, you’re all too aware of the Black Friday deals. Target, Amazon, Radio Shack…they’ve all released (or leaked) their red, green, chaos-filled, full-page ads announcing their discounts. Large retailers have been heavily advertising their TVs, iPods, and tablets this year – choosing to focus on general consumer electronics. But finding gifts for advanced gadget lovers is slightly more difficult, and there are far fewer ads for items like external hard drives and RAM memory upgrades.

For those who don’t want to wade into the crowds at malls, online retailer Other World Computing today announced some extremely competitive Black Friday discounts you can take advantage of at home. The site’s sale begins November 24 and runs through Cyber Monday, and OWC will wave your shipping fee if you spend over $139.99. You’ll also have the option of checking out via Amazon, and doing so will save you $50 on your purchase.

Better yet, OWC is a certified Apple developer and carries new Mac accessories and refurbished hardware. If you’re looking to save a little on a slightly outdated model, then you should definitely peruse this site before heading to Craigslist or eBay. If all you want is a new iPhone case, they’ve got that too – and probably for less than Apple’s Black Friday prices.

Here’s a look at some of OWC’s best discounts:

  • Power adapter for 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro$47.99 ($31 savings)
  • Apple Magic Mouse: Bluetooth multi-touch wireless mouse – $49.99 ($20 savings)
  • 12-inch iBook, OS X 10.4 – $195 ($104 savings)
  • Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard for Mac or iPad – $44.99 ($25 savings)

  • Acer 24-inch Pro LED Backlit display – $259.99 ($70 savings)
  • LG 10X Blu-ray player + DVD/CD burner – $139.00 ($70.99 savings)

One of the most exciting upcoming CES 2025 launches just got leaked
lenovo foldable laptop extended.

Last year, Lenovo teased a rollable laptop at MWC 2023, but it was purely a prototype. Now, a leak covered by The Verge from Evan Blass claims that the concept is becoming a reality and will be released at CES 2025 in just a few weeks.

The concept Lenovo laptop from last year looks like a completely normal laptop at first, but once you press a button on the side, more screen literally starts rolling out from under the keyboard. The screen slowly grows until you have basically two laptop screens stacked on top of each other.

ChatGPT just got a bump to its coding powers
ChatGPT collaborating with Notion

For its penultimate 12 Days of OpenAI announcement, the company revealed a trio of updates to ChatGPT's app integration on Thursday, which should make using the AI in conjunction with other programs on your desktop less of a chore.

OpenAI unveiled ChatGPT's ability to collaborate with select developer-focused macOS apps, specifically VS Code, Xcode, TextEdit, Terminal, and iTerm2, back in November. Rather than needing to copy and paste code into ChatGPT, this feature allows the chatbot to pull specified content from the coding app as you enter your text prompt. ChatGPT, however, cannot generate code directly into the app, as Cursor or GitHub Copilot are able to.
