Remember back in September when President Donald Trump signed an executive order that seemingly finalized some of the terms of a deal to spin off TikTok's US business? Three months later, that same deal is apparently one step closer to being official.
According to Bloomberg, TikTok CEO Shou Chew told employees that TikTok and ByteDance had signed off the agreement for control of TikTok's US business. It sounds like terms of the deal are roughly the same as what Trump announced earlier this year. A group of US investors, including Oracle, Silver Lake and MGX will control a majority of the new entity while ByteDance will keep a smaller stake in the venture.

Seriously, no brand is best in all situations! That's what we've seen throughout our laptop reviews. The best brand for you depends on what you're looking for, the type of laptop you're buying, and the prices you can afford — and the right laptop sale could change the whole calculus.
You'll find a mix of both Dell and HP laptops, plus laptops from many other manufacturers, on our best laptop list here at PCWorld. But there's a lot to be said for comparing these brands. So, let's take a closer look.
Dell vs. HP laptop product ranges
Both Dell and HP offer a wide range of different laptops for different needs, from budget picks to premium stunners.
Dell offers a variety of laptop lineups. Until recently, it was broken down as XPS laptops for the premium line, with Latitude and Inspiron laptops for business and consumer use, respectively. Starting in 2025, however, Dell scrapped that naming convention ostensibly to be more simplified, but you be the judge. Still, the same range of performance and prices remains.
HP rebranded its laptop lineup in May
