Getting to know the Surface Pro 7 is like visiting an old friend. Usually around this time of year there’s a new collection of computer hardware from Microsoft, and whatever is new ends up being in my PC rotation throughout the rest of the year. In 2019, the same seems to be holding true so …

The days of Windows and Intel walking mostly in lockstep may be coming to an end. Two high-profile new PCs this year have been announced using Arm processors, similar to the ones that power modern smartphones. They join a small handful of Arm-plus-Windows machines from the past two years. The Samsung Galaxy Book S claims to offer 23 hours of …

If folding screens aren’t quite ready for prime time, devices with two screens are ready to step up instead. Microsoft is adding to its Surface lineup of PCs a device with dual 9-inch displays called the Surface Neo, briefly shown at the company’s annual Surface launch event in New York on Wednesday.  The event also saw the launch of the …

In fact, the other major product promises to beat the Note 10 by a mile in one very important category — at least on paper. The Samsung Galaxy Book …

Some gaming laptops go for heft and size, hitting us up with more power than any (current) game needs. The Alienware Area-51m and Origin PC Eon17-X comes to mind, as does the upcoming Asus Mothership.

Amazon has quietly put a big selection of high-end tabletop and board games on sale.
