PCWorld highlights the Acer TravelMate P6 14 AI, a remarkably lightweight laptop at 2.2 pounds that promises up to 30 hours of battery life through advanced engineering. The device features Intel Core Ultra Series 3 Panther Lake processors, carbon fiber and magnesium-aluminum construction, plus multiple display options including 3K OLED touchscreen. Set for August launch, this laptop targets business travelers seeking exceptional portability without sacrificing performance or battery endurance. Historically, a travel laptop with long battery life meant more weight and thickness. That's not the case with Acer's TravelMate P6 14 AI, which somehow squeezes up to 30 hours of battery life inside a laptop weighing less than 2.2 pounds.

Plus: Anthropic is now valued higher than OpenAI. How a new extraction process could unlock the world's lithium A new method for extracting lithium could cut costs and emissions from one of the world's most important materials for EVs and energy storage. The technique uses a weak acid to dissolve silicate minerals. That frees not only the lithium but also other useful materials, including alumina and silica. "At scale, we believe this will be the lowest-cost way of sourcing lithium in the world," says Yet-Ming Chiang, an MIT professor who co-authored a study of the process published yesterday in . Startup Rock Zero is already working to commercialize the research.
