We know AMD’s mobile Ryzen processors can deliver top-tier performance. AMD’s goal for its new Ryzen 6000 Mobile processor was slightly different: optimize it for power efficiency, extending its reach into a mainstream laptop anyone could buy.
AMD formally launched its new 6nm Ryzen 6000 Mobile processors today, after first announcing the 10 new Ryzen 6000 mobile chips in January. AMD’s announcement follows the launch of Intel’s “Alder Lake” 12th-gen mobi
We’ll understand if you assumed AMD was toast when Intel unleashed its spectacularly fast 12th-gen “Alder Lake” laptop CPUs in January. AMD, however, ain’t just giving up. In fact, its new Ryzen 6000-series CPUs and Radeon RX 6800S GPU are direct proof that the battle for laptop supremacy will continue to be a knock-down, drag-out brawl between chip makers.
The Ryzen 6000-series laptop processors, announced at CES 2022, are based the company’s Zen 3+ core (an u
On Tuesday, Microsoft released Windows Insider Build 22557 for the Dev Channel, a massive update that fixed several things users didn’t like about Windows 11 while introducing new experiences, apps, and features to try out.
The new build adds folders back to the Start menu, along with folder preview images to File Explorer, and re-introduces drag-and-drop functionality to the neutered Windows 11 taskbar — all criticisms levied at the original release of Windows 11. According to

If you still think of wireless mice as laggy, battery-sucking substitutes for a real mouse, we’ve got good news for you. Mouse manufacturers have largely solved the latency, connectivity, and power-efficiency problems that once blighted these devices. The best of today’s wireless mice rival their wired counterparts in performance, battery life, features, and design.
There are two rather obvious benefits of a wireless mouse. It eliminates the tether to your computer, giving you g
With an increased focus on security and privacy, Google has been trying to reinvent the way the internet tracks users via tiny embedded files called cookies. It’s a tall order: Cookie-based advertising is the basis of the global digital advertising industry, including the ads you see on this very page. While reactions to Google’s new Privacy Sandbox initiative have been tepid at best, the company is expanding it from Chrome on desktops and laptops to Android phones.

Sometimes, a Chromebook beats a Windows laptop. Complexity often makes life harder for users easily confused by computers—and the people who provide them IT support. A Chromebook’s simplified interface does away with driver management, endless system updates, and even malware avoidance.
More importantly, Chromebooks run a lightweight operating system that feels fast and responsive on older and budget hardware, making them far more affordable. In fact, you can create your own Chr
Microsoft’s Settings menu within Windows 11 has taken a quiet, significant step forward with the addition of subscription information, though it’s still incomplete. Nevertheless, it provides a handy starting point to understand and manage your Microsoft subscriptions.
Within the Windows 11 Settings menu > Accounts > Your Microsoft account, there’s a new section at the top of the page: “Your subscriptions.” There, you’ll find the status of both your Micros
Throughout Windows 10’s life, Microsoft offered major feature updates in the spring and fall. With Windows 11, we expected those to move back to one update per year. But all bets are off after Tuesday’s release of a handful of new “experiences.” Microsoft will release new Windows 11 features when and if it wants.
Officially, Microsoft’s first Windows 11 feature update of 2022 is just a collection of “experiences,” according to chief product officer
