Falcons predicted to sign former No.2 overall pick in 2025 | Sporting NewsBlack Friday Chromebook deals are here, and some of them are truly excellent. Let’s shop! I’ve listed our official recommendations for the best Black Friday Chromebook deals below, which we’ve separated out into budget picks, mid-range choices, and premium offerings. More importantly, I’ll tell you it’s a good deal. If you don’t want to wade through it all, that’s fine: the very best Chromebook deal for your money right now is , followed by the $279 , the $299 , and the . If you need more guidance when shopping for Black Friday Chromebook sales, scroll down to the FAQ at the end where I explain what prices to look for, the specs we prefer, and more. Our list of the also contains updated pricing. Best Black Friday budget Chromebook deals Budget Chromebooks are all about the tradeoffs. In this case, there is just a single deal (the HP Chromebook) with 8GB of RAM, which is what I’d prefer. Still, I look for budget Chromebooks to be in the neighborhood of $100, and the top four options deliver. The , the and the give you the most for your money, including a nice big display and a relatively modern processor. The Intel Celeron N4500 is faster at single-threaded tasks than the Arm-based MediaTek Kompanio with slightly less battery life. I’ve prioritized the and the because they have slightly larger screens, and the prices are slightly better and cheaper. The is a pretty great deal, though. It’s more of a midrange Chromebook (8 GB RAM, a nice big 15.6-inch 1080p screen) at a budget price. It’s also one of the few Chromebooks on Amazon worth mentioning. There are some solid Black Friday deals on now! I look for both 8GB of RAM (which allows more tabs and applications to be open) as well as a 1080p display. Lenovo’s IdeaPad 3i is tops on the list because of the price, but you’ll notice that it has 4GB of RAM. It’s rare that I see a budget offering with 8GB of RAM, as HP’s Chromebook offers. However, the 768p display be a little grainy for some eyes, though the 250-nit brightness is just fine. The HP Chromebook does not include an external display connection, so just make sure to use it within the return window if this is a concern. A number of low-end Chromebooks ha Amazon doesn’t always have great Chromebook deals, but the retailer has upped its game just in time. I’m not convinced you need 128GB of storage. If you do, you can swap the Asus CX1 listed here for another , priced at $159.99 at Walmart. I don’t think we’re going to see anything decent in this space on Black Friday for less than $100, but $119-$139 is actually as good or better than previous sales. Just be careful of merchants reselling products: this is full of people complaining that the merchant is reselling used, subpar merchandise. All of my recommendations are sold brand new. Best Black Friday mid-range Chromebook deals Thanks to fellow deal-hunter Alaina Yee for discovering the deal at Costco, which ticks all the boxes. Costco usually requires a membership, but Alaina reports that it’s available, even to non-members. (Non-members pay 5 percent more on this item, or $210.) With 8GB of RAM, a solid 1080p screen and a battery-sipping processor, this Chromebook Plus becomes our top Chromebook deal. Acer’s will likely offer the fastest performance, if that matters, with its Ryzen 3 processor. AMD’s Ryzen typically trades faster performance for lower battery life, but the recent Ryzens are top-notch. This deal is back on for Black Friday, after falling off earlier in the week. The offers a versatile 2-in-1 form factor and a touch-enabled display, making it a solid choice if you want to swap between laptop and tablet styles. The Intel Core i3-N305 CPU should be fast enough for day-to-day tasks and the 14-inch 1920×1080 screen should produce crisp-looking visuals. Adorama offered a similar deal earlier, but it was substantially more expensive than this new deal added on Black Friday at Best Buy. Best Black Friday premium Chromebook deals Google thinks you’ll want to buy a Chromebook Plus laptop ( ) to achieve the very best Chromebook experience. Do you need one? The experience is undoubtedly smoother and more powerful, without the caveats that typically accompany cheaper Chromebook hardware. That’s why we recommend the , as it comes with a zippy processor as well as a roomy display. As noted above, the and the are the best all-around choices. I’d bet that the Lenovo will prove to have the longer battery life, based upon the (lower-power though less powerful) Pentium chip inside. Just think about whether it will always be plugged in or not. Don’t forget these crucial accessories! Picking up a Chromebook during Black Friday sales can save you hundreds. But why stop there? You can save even more money by accessorizing your Chromebook with the extra things it needs while these sales last. We’ve detailed , but here’s a cheat sheet with three especially crucial items: FAQ Officially, this year’s Black Friday takes place on Friday, Nov. 29, 2024. Cyber Monday is the following Monday, or Dec. 2, 2024. Budget Chromebooks could be about $150 or so, perhaps less — but that can mean compromising on some of the features we think you’ll like. We try to include some of these models, though, in case you’re just looking for absolute bottom prices. (Refurbished models can cost even less, but we aren’t including them.) Good mainstream Chromebooks now cost about $250 to $350, as noted above — that’s the floor for a Chromebook we’d recommend. A Black Friday or Cyber Monday steal could push prices down even further. We still prioritize three things when looking for a Chromebook deal: memory, the size and resolution of the screen, and the CPU. There’s also one big wrinkle for this Black Friday and that’s the Chromebook support window. You will still find retailers trying to unload Chromebooks with 4GB of RAM, a 768p screen, and an ancient processor. We will still list products with those specs, if justified, as budget Chromebooks. But we really feel that you deserve a Chromebook with 8GB of RAM, a 1080p screen or better (with screen sizes above 13 inches if possible), and a relatively modern CPU. We don’t put a lot of weight on the CPU, if only because a Chromebook doesn’t need a lot of horsepower behind it. Be aware that “HD” does not mean 1080p! It basically means 768p, which is going to be a bit hard on your eyes. “Full HD” or “FHD” equates to the 1080p display you should get. Our recommended CPUs include Intel Celerons, Intel Pentiums, Intel’s Core chips, AMD’s Ryzen processors, and Arm chips from Mediatek or Qualcomm. All of those have their pros and cons, though the performance differences probably won’t matter as much as additional memory. More memory (8GB rather 4GB of RAM) will allow for more browser tabs and a smoother browser experience. A 1080p screen will offer a comfortable laptop-like viewing experience. Onboard storage really doesn’t matter all that much, though an SSD of at least 32GB is preferable for storing apps, screenshots, and the like. If you’re familiar with our lengthy , you know that one of the potential gotchas is buying a Chromebook whose expires soon. Google now supports new Chromebooks for up to 10 years, so this is less of a concern. We think this might push prices down, but for very old hardware. We’re trying to watch this. Our editors regularly review Chromebooks, so make sure to check our rankings of the . We recommend a wide range of price points, and the article offers a great primer on Chromebook shopping. What’s more, some of our top picks will likely go on sale before or during Black Friday.

A judge on Monday rejected a request to block a San Jose State women’s volleyball team member from playing in a conference tournament on grounds that she is transgender. Monday’s ruling by U.S. Magistrate Judge S. Kato Crews in Denver will allow the player, who has played all season, to continue competing in the Mountain West Conference women’s championship scheduled for later this week in Las Vegas. The ruling comes after a lawsuit was filed by nine current players who are suing the Mountain West Conference to challenge the league’s policies for allowing transgender players to participate. The players argued that letting her compete was a safety risk and unfair. While some media have reported those and other details, neither San Jose State nor the forfeiting teams have confirmed the school has a trans women’s volleyball player. The Associated Press is withholding the player’s name because she has not publicly commented on her gender identity. School officials also have declined an interview request with the player. Judge Crews referred to the athlete as an “alleged transgender” player in his ruling and noted that no defendant disputed that San Jose State rosters a transgender woman volleyball player. He said the players who filed the complaint could have sought relief much earlier, noting that the individual universities had acknowledged that not playing their games against San Jose State this season would result in a forfeit in league standings. He also said injunctions are meant to preserve the status quo. The conference policy regarding forfeiting for refusing to play against a team with a transgender player had been in effect since 2022 and the San Jose State player has been on the roster since 2022 – making that the status quo. The player competed at the college level three previous seasons, including two for San Jose State, drawing little attention. This season’s awareness of her identity led to an uproar among some players, pundits, parents and politicians in a political campaign year. The tournament starts Wednesday and continues Friday and Saturday. San Jose State is seeded second. The judge's order maintains the seedings and pairings for the tournament. Several teams refused to play against San Jose State during the season, earning losses in the official standings. Boise State and Wyoming each had two forfeits while Utah State and Nevada both had one. Southern Utah, a member of the Western Athletic Conference, was first to cancel against San Jose State this year. Nevada’s players stated they “refuse to participate in any match that advances injustice against female athletes,” without providing further details. Crews served as a magistrate judge in Colorado’s U.S. District Court for more than five years before President Joe Biden appointed him to serve as a federal judge in January of this year. ____ Gruver reported from Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Hanson from Helena, Montana.

KARACHI: Federal Minister for Petroleum Dr. Musadik Malik criticized Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) leaders, claiming they do not want the release of their founder, Imran Khan, ARY News reported. Speaking at a news conference here on Sunday, Musadik Malik emphasised that solving public issues is the government’s priority, highlighting that government measures have led to a reduction in inflation, and the stock market is at its highest level in history. He added that the nation must unite against extremism, mentioning that people from Parachinar are sitting on the roads with the bodies of their loved ones, yet there has been no sign of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur going to help them. Musadik Malik also criticised Ali Amin Gandapur for trying to attack Punjab and Islamabad, adding, “What happened to his Do or Die rally today? There are voices everywhere saying ‘Arrest me, take me in.’ Where are all the senior PTI leaders? No rallies are visible in Punjab, Lahore, Faisalabad, and Gujranwala.” Musadik Malik stated that elements opposed to the country’s progress could not digest Pakistan’s growth, questioning the whereabouts of the millions of people PTI claimed would attend its call. “I am in Karachi today, why didn’t people from Sindh show up? Where are the people from Larkana, Karachi, and Hyderabad, who were called upon? A wave is coming from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa; let’s see where it goes,” said Musadik Malik The Petroleum Minister further remarked, “PTI’s voters usually show up, but are the leaders hiding somewhere to rest at the KP House? They talk of bloodshed and fire, yet sleep in hotels at night.” Further adding, “They need to explain: what’s coming out of their speeches? Where are the PTI members who haven’t been arrested? They don’t want any discussion on the release of PTI’s founder.” Musadik Malik also questioned the political role of Bushra Bibi, stating, “If she was supposed to be apolitical, then how is she leading rallies? Now it’s clear that she’s no longer apolitical. What happened to your narrative of hereditary politics?” PML-N’s stalwart stated that there were always doubts about whether Bushra Bibi was behind the decisions made by PTI’s founder. “Now it makes sense where the cipher issue came from after waking up at night.” Lastly, he referred to a recent statement made by Bushra Bibi regarding a foreign country, which has led to embarrassment in the global community, particularly impacting Pakistan’s foreign policy. He remarked that many people now believe Bushra Bibi isn’t just entering politics—she’s the one controlling it. Read More: Bushra Bibi, CM Gandapur ‘lead’ PTI convoy to Islamabad It is pertinent to note that, Former first lady, Bushra Bibi and Khyber Pakhtunkhuwa CM Ali Amin Gandapur on Sunday 24 Nov departed for Islamabad with PTI convoy for their planned protest. Earlier it emerged that PTI convoy from Peshawar was delayed amid leadership dispute between Bushra Bibi and Gandapur. According to the schedule, Ali Amin Gandapur was designated to lead the convoy. However, sources report that Bushra Bibi is insisting on taking charge, creating tension within the party ranks. Reportedly, Gandapur argued, “The party founder has stated that you are not involved in politics,” urging Bushra Bibi to remain at home while he leads the convoy. This internal power struggle had stalled the convoy’s departure from Peshawar, further complicating PTI’s plans amid nationwide protests. In response to the PTI protest in Islamabad, authorities have completely sealed the entry and exit points of the twin cities, Rawalpindi and Islamabad.This image released by Paramount Pictures shows Matthew McConaughey in a scene from the film “Interstellar.” (Paramount Pictures via AP) This image released by Paramount Pictures shows promotional art for the film “Interstellar.” (Paramount Pictures via AP) This cover image released by St. Martin’s Press shows “Miss May Does Not Exist: The Life and Work of Elaine May, Hollywood’s Hidden Genius” by Carrie Courogen.
