If you're frustrated by economic factors you can't control, reclaim your power by saving with a vengeance. Prostock-Studio/Getty Images The economy sucks right now. Tariffs could keep prices high for who knows how long. Every day, my LinkedIn is filled with posts from victims of the latest layoffs. So much of my financial stability feels out of my control. That's why I'm all about a new trend called revenge saving. What is revenge saving? You may be familiar with revenge spending, or splurgi

Lenovo’s Luxurious Chromebook Plus 14 Has More Power Than It Knows What to Do With

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-07-28 01:30:00

2025 “Excessive” isn’t a qualifier I would use to demean the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14. It’s merely a statement of fact. It’s a pretty device with surprisingly good audio and more power under the hood than the previous leading contender, the $700 Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus. But is taking the crown as king of ChromeOS enough to justify the $650 asking price? Even with a few exclusive software features, using it is not a distinct experience from using any other $400 or under Chromebook Plus m
