The price at the link for the Family version actually now shows $5 cheaper: $74.99. So if this is a legit deal, that's getting pretty good. I have seen it drop down to $69.99 on some occasions.

Impressive charger. I apologize if I just missed this in the review, but I double-checked and don't think I did: I assume it's just for power with no data connection? Or, can this also function as a USB hub to enable your laptop to communicate with a monitor or phone or any other connected USB...

Does that support Ink too, or just touch? If it does support Ink, what model is it? I have a small 11" Ink-supporting touchscreen hooked up to my main desktop PC, but unlike on my HP Spectre, I don't use it much. Mostly just for Inking to draw diagrams or sign documents. But if I could go to a...

As an information tool, I think Co-Pilot is awesome. It's VASTLY BETTER than any search engine. You can ask a question and get an answer to the question, not a bunch of links to pages that may or may not answer it. That's pure awesome and absolutely game changing for information searching on the...

All fair points, but I would say that while it's true Windows apps are not really designed to be used primarily with touch, many common functions like scrolling, zooming, and moving windows work really well with touch. I find I use touch for those and use the touchpad (or mouse if connected) for...

Despicable EU "watchdog." Government should not protect companies from competitors. Customers only benefit from the free inclusion, so why get involved? EU taxpayers basically just spent a huge amount of money to subsidize Slack's marketing efforts.

Sean, I think your article was targeted well and don't share the view put forward by simonmann. I had used that feature from time to time previously, but had not yet noticed it was missing with the updated Explorer (I would have eventually). I appreciated the info and am glad to hear it's coming...

While there's nothing wrong with doing that, given that the percentage of PC buyers who do that is near or less than 1%, I don't think it's reasonable to say that they must have less than "half a braincell." I generally build my own PC's when buying for personal use and so install Windows from...

AI can only do those things it's set to do. Yes, it can find interesting combinations and patterns, which makes in a very helpful tool. But it has no hands. It can neither attack us nor even cause problems unless we give it that ability. I don't understand the concerns. They seem utterly...

Yeah, I was excited to see a successor to my BRIO 4K and was prepared to grab it. But after reading your review, I can't justify it without Hello support. What's Logitech thinking in removing that signature feature? (I suppose I could keep the BRIO 4K just for Hello and then add the new MX Brio...

Ah, KOTOR. Given the tech of its day, that was my favorite game of all time until the Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk 2077 (and Ultima IV on Apple in the way-back era). I remained a Windows/PC gamer until... Fallout 3, I think. But that was on PS3, which I grabbed at the time mainly for the Blu-Ray...

Good news and progress, AMD! However, while I appreciate the frame generation improvements, what AMD really needs to focus on are improvements that improve native ray tracing and path tracing. They are so far behind Nvidia on that, it's almost like AMD isn't even serious about making graphics...

I started Elder Scrolls with Morrowind. I had been aware of Arena, which came out just before I finished college, but it seemed too big and open without a real plot or characters and hadn't interested me. That might have been a bad assessment, but that was my impression of the game at the...

Alexa version:

I admit that I'm not well studied on the details of that case, but I am familiar with patent law. If Creative had patent protection on the ZEN, then Apple must have found a way around it without violating Creative's patent (at least in the court's eyes, even if Creative disagreed). This could...
