Windows 10X — A 'Lite' version for Windows 10 for dual-screen devices sans live tiles

During the unveiling of the Surface Neo, Microsoft also showed off an early build of Windows 10X — a Windows 10 version that is tailored exclusively for dual-screen devices. Windows 10X will allow users to run regular Win32 apps while also offering new ways of interacting with apps that are designed to take advantage of dual screens. Windows 10X will be available next year on the Surface Neo and similar devices from Asus, HP, Dell, and Lenovo.

Currently testing: Lenovo IdeaPad S540 15-inch - A great all-rounder with one weakness

Currently testing: Lenovo IdeaPad S540 15-inch - A great all-rounder with one weakness

The 15-inch variant of the IdeaPad S540 from Lenovo is new in our test. The all-rounder and entry-level gaming notebook arrives in a high-quality aluminum case and is able to convince in many areas, such as the display. Unfortunately, it also suffers from a significant weakness, which could have been avoided.

85% Lenovo IdeaPad S540-15IWL Review: A great all-rounder with only one real weakness

Almost an ultrabook. The 15-inch all-rounder brings a GTX 1650 Max-Q in an elegant, slim aluminum case and is able to draw some attention with many positive values in the test. These include the bright, high-contrast display and the fast SSD, for example. However, it also shows a significant weakness.

Smartwatch Fitbit Versa 2

Smart watch Fitbit Versa 2 Review - how can a fitness tracker without GPS be that good?

In a word. Fitbit's latest smartwatch can talk to Alexa without listening non-stop; at least that's what Fitbit promises. Despite its similarity to the Apple Watch the Versa 2 remains a fitness tracker. To our surprise, the successor to the first generation Versa still lacks integrated GPS. Let's find out how well it did despite its lack of location services.

MSI GL75 9SEK Laptop Review - An average mid-range gaming laptop with loud fans

83% MSI GL75 9SEK Laptop Review - An average mid-range gaming laptop with loud fans

Loud and proud. The MSI GL75 checks all the right boxes for a 2019 mid-range gaming laptop. Features like a high-refresh rate display and a per-key RGB backlit keyboard are nice additions, but fan noise and coil whine spoil an otherwise adequate package.

Along with its (impressively varied) new PCs, Microsoft also introduced its first-ever true wireless earbuds today (October 2, 2019).

However, they are also designed to carry out tasks such as slide-switching and translation during PowerPoint presentations.

AMD to announce the Radeon RX 5500 on October 7

Preliminary reports position the upcoming Navi-14-based Radeon RX 5500 GPu as a direct competitor for Nvidia's GTX 1660 solutions. Even though the memory bus is not as wide compared to the Nvidia GPUs, the RX 5500 compensates with up to 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM plus higher core and memory clocks.

TSMC countersues GlobalFoundries

TSMC strikes back with a "retaliatory litigation", claiming that GlobalFoundries infringed on 25 of its patents that include FinFET designs for the 40 through 12 nm nodes. Unlike GlobalFoundries who sued TSMC's fab-less companies like Apple and Nvidia, TSMC is looking to halt all GlobalFoundries production and sale processes for the infringed nodes.

The Huawei Mate 30s are doing very well in China by all accounts. (Source: YouTube)

The Huawei Mate 30 series posts an estimated 1 million units sold in its first 3 hours on the Chinese market

Huawei has had its latest phablet series on shelves in its home country for only 6 days now. In this time, it has reportedly sold out on a popular online sales platform, accrued 1 million sales in 3 hours and may have raked in half a billion yuan per minute in the process. This apparent success is ascribed to the uptake of Google-less EMUI 10 in China.

The photos, which look like marketing images, show the Surface Laptop 3 in four colours including Blue and Rose Gold, but fans of the current Red variant may be left disappointed.

Samsung might finally use the ARM architecture for its Exynos chips

Samsung apparently disbanded the Austin CPU R&D team and is planning to use the ARM architecture in future Exynos chips

Although this is not official yet, it looks like Samsung has already disbanded the entire team that was working in its Austin R&D center to develop architectures and designs for the System LSI division so next-gen Exynos chips will — most likely — use solutions developed by ARM instead.

MSI GL65 9SEK Laptop Review: Much More Portable than the GL63

81% MSI GL65 9SEK Laptop Review: Much More Portable than the GL63

4 hours of battery life... at most. The GL65 is a huge upgrade over the GL63 in terms of visuals, weight, performance, and size. On the other hand, other key aspects like battery life, ports, brightness, and display quality have barely changed at all. This $1500 mid-range gaming machine can sometimes feel like a budget gaming laptop at times.

Latest Asus ZenBook 15 is proof that we could use more laptops with both ULV Core U CPUs and GeForce Max-Q graphics

While we aren't expecting to see any laptops with both the Core i7-8565U CPU and GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q GPU, we could argue that the Core i7-8565U or any other ULV Core i7 CPU would pair very well with an entry-level Max-Q GPU like the GTX 1650 Max-Q. OEMs like Asus and Razer have already been investing in such Ultrabook-Gaming hybrid laptops.

Leaked Microsoft Surface promo images and latest rumors: new colors, connectivity upgrades, borderless Surface Pro 7, Alcantara-less Surface Laptop 3

New alleged details about Microsoft’s upcoming new Surface products have emerged. Apparently, a selection of fresh colors for the next generation of Surface devices is inbound, and the newest edition to the Surface Laptop line will be shorn of its Alcantara coat. Arguably, the most exciting leak is the supposed almost borderless display that the Surface Pro 7 (or just "Surface 7") will sport.

Asus ZenBook 15 UX534F Laptop Review: Look Like an Ultrabook, Play Like a Gamer

83% Asus ZenBook 15 UX534F Laptop Review: Look Like an Ultrabook, Play Like a Gamer

Ultrabook-gaming hybrid. The Zenbook 15 is one of the very few laptops equipped with an Intel U-series CPU and a GTX 1650 Max-Q GPU for an impressive level of gaming performance relative to the compact chassis size. It strikes an excellent balance between the portability and long runtimes of a traditional Ultrabook while offering enough GPU power to play the latest games at 1080p. ScreenPad 2.0 looks crisper and feels smoother than before, but its associated price premium remains a tough sell.
