The Surface Laptop Studio 2 is Microsoft’s most aggressively positioned laptop in years: a heavy-duty, convertible Windows workstation built around 13th‑Gen Intel H‑series silicon, up to NVIDIA RTX 40‑series graphics and a dedicated Intel Movidius NPU — and Microsoft even used an on‑stage...

Microsoft says its August Windows 11 security update (KB5063878) is not behind the recent wave of reports alleging SSDs and HDDs have been rendered inaccessible or corrupted, but the episode has exposed gaps in forensic clarity and left many users mistrustful of a conclusion drawn without a...

The Dell 14 Plus arrives not as a headline-stealer but as a steady, unimaginative workhorse: modestly priced, competent where it needs to be, and unapologetically conservative in every visible choice. For buyers whose priority is reliability over razzle-dazzle—IT fleets, students, knowledge...
Microsoft’s latest public update on the mid‑August patch storm is straightforward: after investigation, the company says the August 2025 cumulative rollup did not cause a widespread failure mode that “breaks” SSDs, but the episode still exposes fragile cross‑stack dependencies and persistent...
The MSI Cubi NUC AI 2MG quietly rewrites expectations for what a palm‑sized PC can do: it combines an Intel Core Ultra mobile CPU, Intel Arc integrated graphics, on‑board NPU acceleration, and a full complement of business‑grade I/O into a sub‑liter chassis that’s explicitly positioned as a...

Lenovo’s decision to ship the Legion Go S with Valve’s SteamOS transforms what was a competent, if occasionally clumsy, Windows handheld into a lean, game-first portable that convinced at least one reviewer it could replace a Windows PC for many everyday gaming needs. rview

Lenovo’s decision to ship the Legion Go S with SteamOS has done more than change an operating system — it remade the handheld into a lean, game-first machine that convinced at least one reviewer they no longer miss their Windows PC for portable play. The swap from a full Windows 11 environment...
Lenovo's decision to ship the Legion Go S with SteamOS rather than Windows turns what was a competent handheld into a focused, streamlined gaming device — one that, in everyday use, makes the compromises of a full Windows install feel unnecessary for many players.

I pulled a boxed Windows 11 tiny PC out of its packaging, installed Ubuntu Budgie, and in less than an afternoon turned a handsome, pocket-sized Geekom IT15 into a fast, dependable Linux workstation — a change that proved more than cosmetic: it materially improved daily responsiveness, fixed...
