A $5,000 Laptop With a Glowing Lid — A Curator's Second Look
A $5,000 laptop for moving a tiny cursor with great power. A fresh second look at a previously human-approved pick.
Product photoThis is called a laptop, but it is a very large $4,999.99 laptop. Its 18-inch 4K screen has tiny lights behind it for a bright picture. It can redraw the picture 240 times each second, so fast games look smooth. Its Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus is the main brain. Its RTX 5090 laptop graphics chip makes the pictures. You can also answer email. Very fancy.
It has 32GB of fast working memory, which helps it keep many jobs open. It has a 1TB fast storage drive for files. Two Thunderbolt 5 ports move data and connect gear quickly. It also has Wi-Fi 7 and a fast wired internet port. You can reach the memory, storage, and fans without tools. The lid has a small light display called AniMe Vision that can show words or pictures. Because a plain lid has failed us.
It costs $4,999.99. The speed and parts are huge, and the lid lights up. It can do real work. But it is most excited about looking like it can launch a moon mission.

The consolation prize
The useful part, without all the theater
Acer Aspire 3 (A315-24P-R7VH), 15.6-inch Laptop
"The 15.6-inch Aspire 3 handles browsing and documents. It skips the RTX 5090, 240Hz 4K, Thunderbolt 5, and glowing lid. It also saves $4,624.99, which is a lovely number on any spreadsheet."
