Typically, news coverage dies down towards the end of the year and during the Christmas season. However, things have been different in 2025! You might have noticed more interesting updates than usual lately, and that’s likely due to the newest Windows Insider release and some great last-minute deals on PCs.
In the coming days, many people will be spending time together at meals and gatherings. I recommend having some light, non-controversial news topics ready to share for easy conversation.
Man, I’m so happy I built my nephew that gaming PC back in July! RAM prices have seriously jumped since then. My cousin was asking me about it, saying he can’t afford a new computer right now and wondering if there’s a way to get his current one to use less RAM.
Absolutely! Mauro Huculak has a great guide explaining how to use less RAM on Windows 11. That could really help during the busy holiday season! 🎅❄️🎄🎁
With Christmas approaching, news about Windows 11 has been a bit quieter lately. However, those in the Windows Insider program are getting some new features to test, and Microsoft has made it available to more people to lock their PCs using the Link to Windows app on their Android phones.
As a researcher, I’ve been following the recent surge in RAM prices, and it’s become a real concern for many PC users. That’s why I put together a guide on minimizing RAM usage in Windows 11. My hope is that by optimizing your current system, you can avoid the need to buy new hardware or invest in upgrades – at least for now.
Sales on Windows 11 PCs
With Christmas and the year’s end nearing, many top-rated Windows laptops and portable gaming devices are discounted. However, finding those deals isn’t always straightforward.
The Surface Pro 11 is on sale this week, but prices vary depending on where you shop. Newegg has the best deal on the black version, while Walmart has the best price for the blue (Sapphire) model. If you’re interested in the silver version – sometimes called the ‘Dune’ model – Amazon currently offers the lowest price.
The situation became more confusing when a news source announced a particular deal was the lowest price ever offered. While that was *technically* correct for one specific product at a single store, the article didn’t actually highlight the truly best deals available.
As an analyst, I’ve found that deal hunting is surprisingly still something that requires a person. While I’ve tested many AI and tracking tools, they consistently struggle to identify the absolute lowest prices and, more importantly, to understand *why* a deal is actually good. It’s a surprisingly human skill to put a deal into the right context.
Even though price comparison tools can find the cheapest option for a specific laptop, they often overlook similar models available at lower prices elsewhere. Sometimes, due to fluctuating stock, you might even find a laptop with upgraded components – a faster processor, more memory, or larger storage – costing less than a less powerful one.
The fantastic sale on the budget-friendly Surface Laptop 7 (13.8-inch) powered by the Snapdragon X Elite is over – it was only available for 24 hours. But you can still save on a version with more storage!
