Save $350 on Asus' tiny Snapdragon laptop with 24-hour battery life

The Zenbook A14 is basically Asus' answer to the MacBook Air, with Asus representatives even telling me that the "A" very unofficially stands for Air. It's a 14-inch model with an incredibly light weight of just 2.16 pounds (or 0.98 kilograms if you live in a civilized country). This base model is running on a Snapdragon X chip with 16GB of RAM, and though the 1200p display is a gorgeous OLED panel, it doesn't have a touchscreen. It's packing 512GB of storage.

You can read all about this laptop in Chris Hoffman's review of it for PCWorld. In short, it's tiny, it's featherlight, it has a unique "ceraluminum" finish that makes it stand out, and the battery life is absolutely astonishing—70 watt-hours in a laptop this small gives it a full 24 hours in a standardized battery test. For downsides, that 8-core Snapdragon X chip (the slowest of these Arm-based options) won't blow anyone away, and it might just refuse to play some 3D-based games. (Note that this model sold by Best Buy isn't the same one in the review. It's a lighter sand color and has half the RAM and storage, 16GB/512GB, respectively.)

Windows 11 killed WordPad, but Notepad is absorbing its formatting skills

In May, Microsoft said in this blog post that it was adding "lightweight formatting" in Notepad, including Markdown input and file support, but also bold and italic fonts, bullet and numbered lists, and even hyperlinks, which would all be accessible via a new toolbar. According to Windows Latest, these features are now rolling out to all users outside the Windows Insider Program. Microsoft says the new features won't gobble up resources or impact Notepad's performance.

Two things seem to be going on here. In late 2023, Microsoft killed off WordPad, the rich text editor that served as a poor man's alternative to Microsoft Word. (There's a way to bring WordPad back, but you'd need access to an older version of Windows where WordPad still exists.) Traditionally, Notepad has been the Windows answer to a lightweight text editor that coders can use or write in, although more sophisticated alternatives like vim exist. It seems Microsoft is adding more features to try and help those users, while moving towards a WordPad replacement.

Microsoft, meanwhile, is bringing

Why I'm a standing desk convert: 6 ways it leveled up my life

But I wasn't always like this. When I first tried standing desks over a decade ago, I didn't approve. My feet ached, my setup was suboptimal, I didn't feel the benefits, and it was a hell of a lot more work than just putting my feet up while I tapped away at my PC.

But now? I'd never go back. Here are the top reasons why I went from standing desk skeptic to standing desk convert.

It helps my back pain and posture This is the original and still best reason I have for using a standing desk. In the past, I wrote about my favorite desk accessories for back pain and posture issues. After years of poor posture, too much smartphone use, and a sedentary combination of desk work and PC gaming, I found myself with recurring pinched nerves and distracting back pain.

Switching to a standing desk was the first step to reversing that dangerous debilitating trend, and thoug

Check your power banks! Anker recalls six portable USB battery models

Here's the full list, compiled from two different Anker alerts and spotted by 9to5Google:

Anker PowerCore 10000 — Model A1263 Anker Power Bank (10K, 22.5W) — Model A1257 Anker Power Bank (20K, 22.5W, Built-In USB-C Cable) — Model A1647 Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K, 7.5W) — Model A1652 Anker Zolo Power Bank (20K, 30W, Built-In USB-C and Lightning Cable) — Model A1681 Anker Zolo Power Bank (20K, 30W, Built-In USB-C Cable) — Model A1689 Anker says that it's initiating a recall for these models "out of an abundance of caution." If you have one of the affected devices, first of all, stop using it. Second of all, don't throw it in the trash—a flaming bag of garbage is only marginally better than flaming pants. You can initiate the recall process with Anker even if you no longer have a receipt for the battery, simply using photos of the appropriate model number.

Once you document your battery and submit the photos to Anker, you can dispose of it via an authorized recycling or waste disposal center (standard electronics recycling centers might not have the necessary safety equipment). Yo
