Best back to school laptops under $1,000

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:11:00 GMT

It's back to school season, which means you might be looking for a new laptop.While tablets are great, laptops offer more power and productivity for getting work done.Recently, I spoke with Wirecutter laptop expert Kimber Streams on the Rich on Tech radio show to get their top recommendations for budget laptops and Chromebooks under $1,000."Right now, a lot of manufacturers are actually discounting models and having sales because they have excess inventory after so many people bought laptops during the pandemic and they aren't buying them right now," said Streams, who has been reviewing laptops since 2014.If you're looking for a Windows laptop under $500, aim for at least 8GB RAM, a solid-state drive, and a 12th or 13th generation Intel i3 or i5 processor or a 7000 series AMD Ryzen 3 or 5 processor."The best Windows laptop under $500 is the Acer Aspire 3 Spin 14. It's typically about $430, but right now it actually happens to be on sale for $350, which is kind of a steal for how goo...

Major lawsuit filed against FCI Dublin, the women’s prison where sexual abuse was rampant

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:11:00 GMT

OAKLAND — A group of people who spent time incarcerated at FCI Dublin have sued the now infamous all women federal prison, alleging that the ongoing sexual abuse scandal there came as a result of prison officials missing or flat-out ignoring warning signs for decades.The suit, led by the California Coalition for Women Prisoners, alleges that sexual assault has long been a rampant problem at FCI Dublin, but that those responsible were able to avoid serious consequences until recently. In addition to the CCWP — a nonprofit that advocates for education over incarceration — eight alleged sexual assault victims are listed as the plaintiffs.The suit accuses the Bureau of Prisons of failing to do enough to prevent sexual abuse at the prison, despite serious incidents going back to the 1990s. And it notes that when authorities finally started investigating the crimes, it was the FBI and Department of Justice, not the Bureau of Prisons, that led the probe.FCI Dublin —...
