It’s always nice when something a bit overpriced becomes… well… cheap. Take the Samsung Chromebook 3, for example. Would I pay $399 for this? Absolutely not. But drop that price down to $185, and I’ll start throwing wads of cash in your face so fast, you’ll think you’ve got a new job as an exotic dancer.

When choosing your laptop’s internal storage, you historically had to decide between speed and capacity. Fast SSDs – at least, the ones you could afford – were somewhat limited in storage. Old-school mechanical HDDs, although excruciatingly slow, could at least contain an ungodly amount of songs and movies.

For a gamer, buying a laptop is always a compromise: what you gain in portability you lose in upgradeability. Sure, some laptops allow you to upgrade your RAM and storage, but you’re almost always stuck with the CPU and GPU you’ve chosen, as those components need to be custom fit for the mobile chassis.

Being an adult is hard and having responsibilities is harder. I mean, who hasn’t begrudgingly gone out for a single, but ended up spending the majority of the night out, sleeping in a bathtub, and forgetting they had to throw an office party the next day? Not I, friend, not I.

Welcome to CHEAP, our series about things that are good, but most of all, cheap. CHEAP! If you travel a lot, you know how fun it is to capture photos and videos of places that you go to and things that you do.
These days cameras have become the de facto differentiation factor between phones. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when this became the battleground for handset manufacturers, but we’re currently deep in an arms race for photography supremacy.
It seems dark mode is coming to every single thing you can think of this year. And with that, there’s a growing discussion around whether it actually helps saving battery or is it just a visual gimmick? If you believe a test performed by a YouTube channel Phonebuff, dark mode plays a significant part in saving batteries in phones with OLED screens.
Welcome to CHEAP, our series about things that are good, but most of all, cheap. CHEAP! I don’t really know why, but video doorbells have always seemed hella futuristic to me. Maybe it’s a youth spent absorbing sci-fi movies and TV shows, but there’s something crazy cool about being able to see who’s ringing your doorbell.
Welcome to CHEAP, our series about things that are good, but most of all, cheap. CHEAP! Yeah, beating someone online is fun. It’s satisfying — especially if you can hear their anguish down the other end of the line — but there’s something even better about wiping the floor with someone you can see.
