Continuing the trend of massive deals we’ve been seeing on Chromebooks, the HP Chromebook x360 14c (2023) can be had at a substantial price cut, bringing it down to a very compelling $499! This $200 price reduction turns a mildly-interesting Chromebook into a far-more-tempting offer.

We recently highlighted the upcoming “Version History” feature for Google Keep after I discovered it was a thing. It’s currently rolling out, and will allow you to view previous versions of your text notes (not images though).
