HP’s New 2-In-1 Laptop Has the Quality You Want and the Tech You Need
Laptop design can feel a bit stale at times. Everything tends to skew sleek, thin and silver, with few if any makers breaking out of that mold. Considering this, HP’s Spectre Folio Laptop 13t is that much more impressive thanks to its inventive take on what a two-in-one laptop can look like.
The Spectre Folio is made with a magnesium frame that’s completely covered in a leather outer shell — save for the keyboard and screen — to give it an extremely distinct look. This essentially removes the need for placing the Spectre Folio in a traditional laptop sleeve. The hybrid hinge allows the touchscreen to fold into different modes for a versatile interface that handles whatever you need it to do. And thanks to the 8th Generation Intel Core i5 processor, it’s ideal for everyday use, from spreadsheets and presentations to surfing and streaming.
If you’re in the market for a hybrid laptop that features premium outside-the-box design and all the capability you need, now’s your time — you can acquire the Spectre Folio 13t for $100 off until June 1.

Naglev Unico Hiker
Save 10%: A pair of handmade hiking boots can cost as much as $750, but right now there’s a pair made by a small Italian brand called Naglev available for $208, which is 10 percent off its regular price of $230. Before you discount that as small change, know that the shoe, called the Unico Hiker, is unlike any other hiking shoe available (it’s also on our list of the best hiking boots available).
Naglev is based in the Alps, where outdoor footwear was invented, and it created the Unico to function as a middle ground between a hiking boot and a trail running sneaker. It calls to mind approach shoes (sturdy, low-cut hiking shoes typically used by rock climbers who face long treks through technical terrain on the way to a climb) but it’s built much differently. The upper is made of one single piece of Kevlar fabric — yes, the same stuff used to make body armor — and its inside is lined with a with a sock-like wool liner. This construction creates a remarkably durable shoe that’s unexpectedly comfortable, and entirely unique. — Tanner Bowden

Oxo Nonstick Frypans
Starting at $30: Cast-iron skillets are great for cooking steaks and bacon, but when it comes to eggs and all manner of fish, you’re better off reaching for a nonstick frying pan like those in Oxo’s pro line — they feature three layers of nonstick coating that prevent delicate foods from sticking but also make cleaning a breeze.
