Did you miss out on the Cyber Monday Gold Box? There’s an even better deal now.

The ASUS Chromebook Flip C434 is a Chromebook I genuinely miss at least four times a week since I sent my review unit back at the end of the summer. The 14-inch touchscreen is just awesome for split-screening my research and my work — or split-screening Twitter and work, as happens more often — but it was still portable enough that I felt comfortable whisking it off to Epcot to type while listening to America Gardens concerts.

In short, this is an awesome laptop, which is why it’s our upgrade pick in Best Chromebooks. That’s why it going down to its lowest price yet on the Gold Box Deal on Monday was one of the biggest deals of Cyber Monday. If you somehow missed out on that deal, good news! There’s somehow an even better discount to be had now.

Samsung DeX is a wonderful system that is tragically overlooked by most users today. That’s a shame because, in 2019, DeX has never been easier to use, especially because you don’t have to shell out $50–$130 for one of Samsung’s branded DeX stations. There are third-party USB-C hubs that work perfectly fine with DeX, and then, of course, there are tons of affordable, high-quality peripherals for adding a keyboard, mouse, and more!

In today’s world, we’ve gotten used to seeing the weather change with little notice — and sometime no notice at all. From flash floods and hurricanes to knowing precisely how ungodly hot it is outside, having a trusty weather app on your side can make all the difference. There are plenty of weather apps available from Google Play, but we’ve got the best of the bunch for you here!

MinuteCast for the win

Accuweather

Staff Pick

Many apps and widgets — including most preloaded manufacturer weather widgets — use Accuweather for the same reason you should: it’s dependable and damn accurate. MinuteCast is scarily accurate, and it’s hard to leave Accuweather for another weather app without it. The app is smartly laid out, comes with a lovely dark theme option, and is worth your trust when bad weather hits.
