I tested the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2026) like I was a student — its gaming, creator and AI performance is huge, but it comes at a cost (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 2026 Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 continues its legacy as a gorgeous premium laptop that blurs the line between gaming laptop and creator workstation. That combo of Intel Core Ultra 9 and RTX 5070 Ti easily chews through any rendering, local AI or AAA gaming — all while looking gorgeous on that OLED display. However, be ready for some loud cooling fans, and a price tag that stings if you’ve already upgraded recently. Why you can trust Tom's Guide Our writers and editors spend hours analyzing and re
I just tested Windows 11 26H2 — here’s how to update now and why Microsoft finally fixed the two worst things about Windows 11 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ever since Windows 11 launched, Microsoft’s redesign of the desktop felt like a series of unforced errors. Locking the taskbar to the bottom broke power-user habits, while the Start menu became an unmovable block of half-useful pinned apps and an aggressive, un-hideable “recommended” feed that felt like free advertising real estate.

Do you actually need the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6? Qualcomm's SVPs explain who should pay the premium (opens the original)

To figure out how you’re supposed to navigate this, I put the question directly to the company’s mobile leadership during a post-keynote roundtable: Chris
I tried Microsoft’s new haptic Surface Mouse — standard mice now feel completely broken to me (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Microsoft introduced its new Surface lineup at Snapdragon Summit, attention naturally gravitated toward the silicon and the screens. I mean it did to me — fawning over the new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop armed with Snapdragon X2 Plus. But yet, the quietest peripheral on the table — the redesigned $79 Surface Mouse — might be the most significant announcement of them all. Beyond its 30% recycled chassis, ambidextrous silhouette and dedicated action button, the standout feature is that the
I tested Microsoft’s Snapdragon X2 Plus Surface Pro and Laptop: The MacBook Air should be terrified (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Apple has long owned the blueprint for thin, light, silent computing with the MacBook Air. It’s the benchmark that we compare every skinny Windows notebook to, and the Cupertino crew always ends up on top for staying ice-cold under sustained multi-app workloads and delivering all-day endurance. However, Microsoft just announced a new Surface Pro 12-inch ($1,149) and Surface Laptop 13-inch ($1,199) with Snapdragon X2 Plus — launching October 13th. And in my short time testing them, they look set
