Lenovo Offers New Notebooks

Lenovo introduced its Ideapad notebooks at CES last year, and this year they’re bringing some new laptops to the party.

The IdeaPad Y650 will have a 16-inch display. At $1,199 it offers up to 4GB of DDR3 (double data rate 3) main memory and can go up to 500GB of hard disk drive data storage, using an Intel Centrino 2 platform with Intel Core 2 dual processors.

The IdeaPads Y550 and Y450 both retail for $829. The Y550 has the same memory and data configuration as the Y650 with a 15.6-inch screen, Intel Core 2 Duo processors and the Intel GM45 chip set. The Y450 is the same, but with a 14-inch screen.

And then there’s the desktop, the IdeaCenter A600, which packs a whopping 4GB of DDR3 memory and 1TB of hard disk drive data storage, along with an Intel Core 2 Duo or Pentium Dual Core processor. With a 21.5-inch frameless monitor, it’s set to sell for $999. It should go on sale in April, with the laptops available from March.

Today only: 55% off the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 4

The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 5 opened up on a table.

Today is the last day of Lenovo's 4-Day Sale, which means there are plenty of great laptop deals happening, but you have to act fast. We’ve picked out one of our very favorites: the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 is down to $1,080. According to Lenovo, that’s reduced from $2,399, but as experienced folk know, Lenovo tends to be a little optimistic with its estimated value system. What we do know though is that $1,080 is a great price for the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 4. Here’s a deeper look at what it has to offer, but remember: the sale ends today so you only have hours to snag this offer.

Why you should buy the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 4
Lenovo is one of the best laptop brands, particularly for business laptops, so the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 is built to last. With this particular model, you get a 13th-generation Intel Core i5-1335U CPU along with 16GB of memory and 512GB of SSD storage. That trio forms essentially the core things you need from a business laptop. There’s also a great looking 14-inch WUXGA screen with 1920 x 1200 resolution, 45% NTSC, 300 nits of brightness, and anti-glare properties. It’s a little smaller than some other laptops, but that means it’s very portable and you can easily take it with you on your travels.

A new test shows Microsoft Recall’s continued security problems

Microsoft is currently previewing its latest version of Recall to Windows Insiders on Snapdragon-, Intel-, and AMD-based Copilot+ PCs -- and the topic on most users' minds is security. The company updated its security and privacy architecture for the feature in September, but, according to tests run by Tom's Hardware, it still might not be good enough.

The new version of Recall includes a sensitive information filter that's supposed to detect when there's information like credit card numbers and Social Security numbers on the screen. If it detects them, it will avoid taking a screenshot. When Tom's Hardware put this filter to the test, however, it failed in a number of situations.
