RAM Shortage Drives Up Laptop Prices Ahead of Back-to-School Season

A global RAM and storage crunch is pushing laptop prices higher, with costs expected to keep rising well into next year as all memory production through 2027 is already allocated. Despite the price pressure, experts say students can still find capable options, with decent laptops available under $500 and solid ones around $700. For college students, investing in a higher-end device like a MacBook Air is recommended for its durability and performance headroom over four years. Buyers are advised to target at least 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, and to stick with Apple silicon Macs or Windows machines running Intel 13th-gen or AMD Ryzen 7000 chips or newer. Budget shoppers or parents buying for younger children are also pointed toward quality Chromebooks as a reliable alternative.

Google lets users disable visible AI watermarks on Gemini-generated content

Google has introduced a new 'Media watermark' toggle in Gemini and its AI video tool Flow, allowing users to turn off the visible 'sparkle' watermark on AI-generated images, videos, and music.
