At least that’s what Microsoft led us to believe. After thorough testing, it turns out this re-release has some noticeable differences compared its predecessor....

It also includes a vibrant 13.5-inch touchscreen, a 7th generation Core i5 or i7 processor and the very streamlined Windows 10 S operating system. Overall, critics are quite positive on the Surface Laptop, but there are also some drawbacks. Here’s a quick summary of our review, plus other reviews from around the web.

After eradicating the headphone jack from all its phones, Apple may drop the audio port from its new 2018 iPad Pro tablets. Apple really, really hates those cables.

The new MacBook’s biggest problem is that it still has just one USB Type-C port. That means that without one of Apple’s pricey dongles (or a third-party adapter), you’ll often have to choose between recharging your system and plugging in any kind of peripheral that isn’t a pair of headphones. There’s no SD card reader (micro or otherwise), which means if you want to transfer pictures or videos so you can edit them on the MacBook’s 12-inch Retina Display, you have to carry around an adapter with you at all times....

When most people hear the name Nokia, they cast their minds back to endlessly playing Snake on stylish-yet-indestructible phones that stood out from the pack of phones at the time with attention to the design details. Now, French start-up OFF Global has licensed the brand and is bringing two laptops to the market, sporting the same Nokia spirit and moniker. The 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch PureBook Pro will be the first additions to the brand’s laptop range....

It may not evoke the most arousing image, but it sums up what the team at Nothing are trying to achieve with these earbuds and the brand as a whole. That is, to design a seamless digital future through consumer tech that “looks, lives, and feels like nothing,” alongside offering serious value for money. And, as a first generation product, the Nothing ear (1) is the first expression of this future — a pair of transparent true wireless earbuds with ANC that cost $99....

The Acer Chromebook 512 laptop runs on Chrome OS, a Google-based operating system that is known for keeping viruses at bay, offering decent battery runtimes due to its lightweight processes, and not requiring high-end hardware because of its reliance on the cloud.
