Windows 11 dropped in October (here’s our full Windows 11 review), and with it came significant compatibility questions. Uncertainty regarding compatibility has been common among PC users since this summer when Microsoft unveiled its first major Windows OS upgrade in six years. Fortunately, Windows 11 should work with most PCs, according to a company blog post. That said, though Windows 11’s release date already came …

Announced earlier this summer and rolling out starting today, Windows 11 offers key selling points of simplicity and ease of use. (Well, and the fact that Microsoft is killing Windows 10 in 2025.)

Best Buy has shaved $250 off a solid two-in-one pick from HP, knocking the price down to $550 with free shipping. But it’s …

For many of us who are enrolled in college during COVID-19, summer 2021 is shaping up to be an odd in-between period with a halfway-there sort of vibe: Things are looking up, but they’re not quite back to normal.

A federal judge in California issued an order Thursday saying Google must face a proposed class-action lawsuit related to privacy concerns about its digital assistant. The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, accuses Google of recording certain users’ conversations and then analyzing the recordings to target advertising, despite the users having activated Google …

Back in the 2010s, we saw computer manufacturers clambering to flatten their laptops and clinch the superlative of “thinnest and lightest.” (See: CNET’s YouTube compilation of “Every time Apple says ‘This is the thinnest and lightest MacBook ever'” spanning the past 15 years.)
