Hey hey. So one of the biggest questions I had before buying Surface Go was how I'd like using it as a tablet, without a keyboard. I kind of thought I knew the answer, but I wasn't sure. It's a great size and weight for a tablet. But ... the tablet experience on Windows is, to put it nicely...

To kick off summer (and just to have some fun), the Windows Central team decided to put together a team story on why we're all proud to call ourselves Windows users in 2018. As writers and editors for a Windows-focused site, we're obviously pretty passionate about the platform. But the reasons...

So, E3 is over, but there was a ton of Xbox related news announced in LA, and honestly, it seemed like one of the more exciting E3s in years, at least from a Microsoft and Xbox perspective. Microsoft teased a new Xbox, we got some details on Halo Infinite, and even Microsoft rival Sony announced...

Last week, the writers and editors from Windows Central published a post showcasing our favorite laptop bags. And they're all great options. But there are so many different bags out there, and we only spotlighted a small number of them. What is your favorite laptop bag? Why? What makes it so...

So State of Decay 2 is now available for Xbox One and PC. And it's (mostly) glorious, or at least Team Windows Central thinks so. Our Xbox maestro Jez Corden called it "mindlessly addictive" and even gave it our site's Choice Award, which we only give to products and games we really love...

So yesterday news broke that Microsoft is looking to hire some new team members in California to focus on what some people see as its "Trouble with AAA Titles," or its lack of quality first-party big name games. It's tough to argue that the company doesn't have a problem there. It does. And this...

So Microsoft's annual developer conference, Build 2018, is right around the corner, starting on May 7 in Seattle. The company usually makes some headlines at the show. So I'm hoping we'll see at least one big noteworthy announcement. What are you hoping will be announced at Build? The obvious...

Sooo, with Sea of Thieves grabbing lots of attention these days, and people seemingly either loving it or hating it, I started thinking about the best first-party Xbox games from Microsoft. Honestly, I spent about 15 minutes with Sea of Thieves and kind of lost interest. But I plan to give it...

So, the Windows 10 "Spring Creators Update" (at least I think that's what it will be called), a.k.a., "Redstone 4," should be released any day now. It's definitely spring time. And I'm anxious for that official release. With Microsoft hitting the Redstone 4 release-to-manufacturers (RTM)...

Windows Central has a ton of coverage of the Surface Book 2, including a recent post from Xbox Editor Jez Corden on his personal must-have accessories for Surface Book 2. It's a great post that got me thinking about the tech I use along with my Surface Book 2 that I just couldn't do without ...

So Sea of Thieves is officially available for Xbox One in all of its glory. And many an Xbox gamer is all-in on this game right now. Rare and Microsoft and others know how popular the game will be so they created a ton of different branded accessories, including a gnarly controller, a Game Drive...

I mostly use Microsoft's Signature Type Cover for my Surface Pro, but I was recently doing research for a post on cheaper alternatives, and I found some options that are significantly more affordable. Like 60 percent cheaper in some cases. But I'm used to the quality of Microsoft's Type Cover...

So I've been looking at new ways to potentially limit my exposure to blue light, seeing as how I stare at a computer screen for upwards of 12 hours a day, and I think it's #@$%*&# with my sleep. I've read about "computer glasses" before but I really don't see all that many people who use them...

Happy New Year, Xbox gamers. The holidays have come and gone, and many of us likely got new gear and games and other fun toys. But that's all in the past now, right? I want to know what you're most excited about in the FUTURE, and more specifically, in 2018. Is it the release of Sea of...

So, it's the holiday season once again, and for many of us that means NEW GEAR! I love me some new tech toys. This year I'm spending a good chunk of my holiday downtime messing with Samsung's HMD Odyssey Windows Mixed Reality headset, which I just got. I also plan to spend some time playing...

We're currently putting together our annual Windows Central Best of the Year list, and though some categories are easy to pick, the best overall laptop is proving to be somewhat of a challenge. We all feel strongly about our picks, and many of us have different opinions on the subject. Surface...

So Microsoft, HP and ASUS recently announced the first "always connected PCs," the ASUS NovaGo and HP Envy x2. We've been anxiously awaiting the dawn of the Windows 10 on ARM age, and it's finally almost here. That's exciting ... but I can't help but wonder how many people will actually buy...

So, the hottest PC game of the year (PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, or PUBG) is now available on Xbox One, as a Microsoft console exclusive. Of course, it's still in Game Preview on Xbox, and it's rough around the edges. But that's (mostly) to be expected. Have you tried it on console yet? If...

So exactly one year ago today, Microsoft closed its acquisition of LinkedIn, the world's largest business-focused social network. Microsoft paid more than $26 billion. As of last spring, LinkedIn had half a billion users and 10 million job listing, according to Fortune.com. I've been on...

It's the holiday season once again. Many of us have avid gamers in our lives, who we need to find gifts for. We'd all love to be able to buy One X consoles for them (or ourselves) but they do not come cheap. And most of us simply don't have the cash for that. We put together a great guide of...
