A new leak reveals Microsoft’s next-gen Surface Pro that’s powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite and due to be released very soon.

Microsoft, Nvidia, and MediaTek are working together on “RTX Spark,” a new chip for Windows PCs that’s all about AI, but if you look beyond that, it sounds like it might still be a good chip in general.

Apple’s launch of the MacBook Neo has sent the world of Windows spiraling as, in the midst of global RAM/storage shortages and ever-inflating costs, building a more affordable laptop is harder than ever. With the new Snapdragon C, though, Qualcomm wants to help build a proper alternative to the MacBook Neo, optimistically targeting $300 laptops.

Laptops powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 chipsets are starting to hit the market, but Samsung’s Galaxy Book 6 Edge has just leaked with a major change – it’ll no longer be available in a smaller size.

Samsung has finally released its base Galaxy Book 6 in the US while also delivering a price hike across the entire lineup.

After testing got underway in September, the “Google app for desktop” is now launching for “Windows users globally in English.”

Android might not be an official mobile branch to any desktop operating system — not yet, at least — but the past decade or so has seen plenty of first and third-party integrations with Windows. WhatsApp users might be next in line for a big desktop upgrade, as it could be the next service to see native support for Microsoft’s “Cross-Device Resume” feature.

No matter how many dedicated apps you have installed on your PC, you probably live most of your life in the browser. Google’s well aware of this — it’s the entire concept behind ChromeOS, after all — and now, it’s bringing a new setting that’s going to allow Windows users to launch Chrome right from the jump.

Microsoft might’ve ditched Android apps in Windows 11 a couple of years ago, but that doesn’t mean it’s abandoned cross-platform support altogether. A new update is making it easier to resume mobile apps on your PC, but only with a select group of services for the time being.

If you’ve been dreaming of a life that revolves around just a single device — your phone — capable of replacing your laptop, desktop, and more, a new piece of hardware might give you exactly what you’re looking for. Unfortunately, you’ll need to accept some cut corners to get there.

While most of us think about a portable PC just being a laptop, HP has another idea. Why not just stuff it all into a keyboard? That’s exactly what the HP Eliteboard G1a does.

Following its launch earlier this month, the Google app for Windows is now prompting users to uninstall and reinstall the app to get continued updates.

Outside of Chrome, Drive, and Quick Share, Google rarely makes native desktop apps with everything usually being based in the browser. That’s changing today with a new experimental “Google app for Windows.”

Microsoft appears to be working to add clipboard sync between Windows 11 and Android through its Phone Link system, and it works with Gboard too.

Back in 2021, Microsoft announced Windows 11 SE as a lightweight platform to rival Google’s ChromeOS, but now, the company is pulling the plug on the offshoot.
