Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 3 review: A fancy meal reheated (again) for 2023
The Surface Laptop Go is back for a third generation, and it's still the 12-inch laptop to beat despite a lack of innovation.
I've reviewed Surface products before, but never any from the Laptop Go series. The Surface Laptop Go 3 is the first to land in my hands, but it's immediately recognizable as a Surface product. This goes well beyond the Microsoft logo on the lid. Surface products share the same DNA, and the Laptop Go 3 is no different, even if it's considered a budget device. It's a compact clamshell laptop with a high-end design, nimble performance, and an outstanding keyboard, and it's intended for students and young professionals who want a laptop that looks like it costs a lot more than its listed price.
Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 review: The most powerful Surface ever
The Surface Laptop Studio 2 is all about more power
The main thing that you need to know about the Surface Laptop Studio 2 is that it's way more powerful than its predecessor, but also that in order to get there, Microsoft made the chassis thicker and heavier. With that out of the way, it's still one of the best laptops on the market, at least in terms of the audience that it serves. It's made for video editors and gamers, and it serves them well. If you're looking for more of a productivity work flow, check out the standard Surface Laptop.
Windows 11 review: Fixing the wrongs of the past decade
It's been two years since Windows 11 debuted, and Microsoft has consistently been making great changes
Windows 11 has been out for nearly two years. After being announced on June 24, 2021, it officially started rolling out on Oct. 5 that same year. From the beginning, it was a breath of fresh air. It had a beautiful new design, new apps, and new features, while delivering a more simplified experience that was more user-friendly.
Hands-on with Surface Laptop Studio 2: Big refinements that matter
The new Surface Laptop Studio 2 is Microsoft's most powerful laptop yet, and it is so much better than the original.
Microsoft held its annual Surface event in New York City today, and while there was a heavy focus was on Artifical Intelligence and Windows 11 features like Copilot, the company still had hardware to show that stunned me. No, it's not Surface Laptop Go 3. It's the Surface Laptop Studio 2 that grabbed my attention.
Windows 11 version 23H2: Everything you can expect from the next big update
Microsoft is preparing the next big update for Windows 11, with features like native RGB controls and Windows Copilot.
Windows 11 is in a constant state of flux, getting new updates on a regular basis to improve the experience. The first big Windows 11 update was version 22H2, which came around last year, and since then, we've been getting smaller Moment updates that add new features and capabilities. The latest of those is the Moment 3 update, which was released in June 2023. But we're already looking at what the future holds, because the next big update, Windows 11 version 23H2, isn't too far off.
Surface Pro 9 with 5G review: Windows on Arm keeps getting better
Microsoft's Surface Pro 9 with 5G comes with a Qualcomm processor, giving it Windows Studio capabilities and great battery life.
In 2019, Microsoft introduced the Surface Pro X, the first ever Surface Pro not to include an Intel processor. Living side-by-side with the Surface Pro 7, Surface Pro 7+, and finally the Surface Pro 8, the Redmond firm decided this year that Windows on Arm is mature enough to merge the two brands. The Surface Pro 9 with 5G is the first product from the mainstream Surface Pro lineup to include an Arm processor.
Microsoft Adaptive Accessories review: Making your PC much easier to use
Microsoft Adaptive Accessories don't just make PCs more accessible. They also enable enhanced productivity.
Microsoft's mission statement is to empower every person and organization on the planet to achieve more. Yet, some can't experience certain technologies because they aren't inclusive for those with disabilities. It's why Microsoft recently released the Surface Adaptive Kit and also sells the Xbox Adaptive Controller for Surface and Xbox users. Now, we have new entries designed for use with any PC or laptop: Microsoft Adaptive Accessories.
Surface Laptop 5 review: More power, but that's about it
Microsoft's Surface Laptop 5 doesn't get some of the perks of the rest of the Surface lineup, but it has more power at the same price point.
The Surface Laptop 5 isn't much of a change over the Surface Laptop 4, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good news is that it keeps the price down when laptop prices are skyrocketing. (Seriously, I keep looking up prices of products I'm reviewing and shocking myself with how much they cost.)
Hands on: The Surface Pro 9 looks beautiful in Sapphire and Forest, and the SQ3 model has cool AI features
The Microsoft Surface Pro 9 comes in two new pretty colors, which is a big deal for the Surface lineup, and the Arm model is impressive.
Microsoft's Surface Pro 9 is official (along with the Surface Laptop 5 and Surface Studio 2 Plus), coming in a couple of new colors and offering a 5G option. There are Intel and Arm options now, packing 12th-gen U-series chips on the Intel side and the new Microsoft SQ3 on the Qualcomm side.
