Despite the allure of free upgrades for existing Windows 7 and 8.1 PCs, one thing is quite clear: you're still going to have the best experience on a new PC.

Among the many advances in Windows 10 is a new feature called Windows Hello, which uses biometric means like facial recognition to speed user sign-in.

Rumors of a Lenovo Windows phone have been around for years, but it appears that recent Microsoft strategy changes have made such a device unnecessary.

I'm heading to Ireland for about 10 days starting Monday night. I'll be taking a lot of pictures and working while traveling around the country.

I've been using Windows Hello on a loaner ThinkPad X1 Carbon. This new type of login makes it easier than ever to authenticate yourself on a Windows 10 PC.

When it comes to Windows 10, there are the official builds—the latest being 10122, which was provided to Fast Ring testers last week—and then there are the leaked builds. Windows 10125 falls into the latter category, and given where we are in the development cycle of this new OS, it won’t surprise you to discover…

Last night, I completed a cross-country road trip, driving about 2800 miles from Las Vegas, Nevada to my home in Dedham, Massachusetts over four long days. Here’s the technology I took with me and used on the road. I may make an Office Sway about the trip, as we took some interesting photos during the…

In a strangely timed release, Microsoft delivered over 30 fixes for Windows 7 and 8.1 today. All of them are optional updates, and none appears to be particularly important. But if you’re the compulsive kind, be sure to check Windows Update today: there are a bunch of updates to install. As you might know, Microsoft…

HP’s stunning new Spectre x360 is a near-perfect transforming Ultrabook, blending premium materials and solid build quality with a far more thoughtful approach to the software preload than we typically see with Windows PCs. Yes, it’s a bit thicker and heavier than less versatile PCs, but Spectre also manages to cost less than other premium…

With Surface 3 on the way—my review unit should arrive Monday, Microsoft tells me—I spent some time with Surface 2 again over the weekend to reacquaint myself with what Microsoft had gotten right—and wrong—with its previous generation tablet. Surface 2 was an interesting experiment, and its striking how thin and light and utterly portable it…

HP’s stunning new Spectre x360 gives Windows fans reason to cheer: It’s a premium transforming, multi-touch Ultrabook that doesn’t ape the MacBook Air’s styling but does deliver stellar performance and battery life. Best of all, perhaps, the Spectre x360 won’t set you back the $2000+ that other premium Windows Ultrabooks currently demand: it starts at…

In a startling yet overdue announcement, Lenovo said today that it would no longer bundle crapware—for the most part—on any of its PCs. This is exactly what I asked Lenovo to do in the wake of the Superfish fiasco, and I am now calling on the other major PC makers to do the same. Yes,…

The Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro is the most impressive transforming Ultrabook I've ever reviewed, with a stunning and rock-solid hinge design, a thin and light form factor, a gorgeous screen, ample expansion, decent performance and battery life, and very little in the way of compromise.
