Windows on Arm seems to be a natural fit for all-in-ones and small form factor laptops, but what about traditional full-sized desktops? Qualcomm claims that Arm is the next big thing in PC technology, and you have to listen to them when they gush about their new Snapdragon X line of laptop chips. If that is the case, why not also install it on desktop computers? They really will. In a talk at Taipei’s Computex, Qualcomm said it delivers its Arm-based CPUs to “all form factors.” According to the demo slide that Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon showed, this includes typical all-in-ones…

For those who enjoy PC gaming, the past several years have been perplexing. With power and performance surging, graphics cards have gotten bigger and bigger, with triple-slot-plus monsters almost becoming standard in the mid-range and higher. Though they have been seeing a comeback of their own, tiny form factor PCs can not always accommodate the massive GPUs of today. During Nvidia’s Computex livestream, the company unveiled its new “SFF-Ready Enthusiast GeForce Card” guideline, which aims to clear up any confusion…

Before Copilot+ PCs are even available in stores, Microsoft is already updating its Recall function. The core function of Copilot+ is recall, which involves collecting screen grabs of everything you do on your computer and sorting through the data using a local AI model. As revealed in a Windows blog post, Microsoft is altering Recall’s functionality in response to criticism. To begin with, recall is now opt-in rather than opt-out. Recall used to be the Copilot+ laptop default configuration, but…

At its Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple revealed a major redesign of its macOS operating system (WWDC). The move, which has long been anticipated for WWDC, completely redesigns the Mac experience by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into a wide range of apps, tools, and systems. When combined, they have the power to turn the Mac into the ultimate AI PC. The new technology, known as Apple Intelligence, enhances a variety of apps, including those from third parties. Apple, for instance, released…

For years, I have mounted my desktop computers beneath my desk because it is a terrific method to save room and prevent cable problems, especially if you use a standing desk like I do. However, a German company has created a tiny desktop computer that can go undetected since it is mounted directly to the underside of the desk and only protrudes a few inches. It is a fanless, silent computer that can run Windows 11. If you keep up…

Today, Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon X CPU at CES. The company hopes to deliver quick performance and long battery life to a larger market by building the processor with mainstream and low-cost laptops in mind, potentially paving the way for $600 Snapdragon PCs. This is great news because we have witnessed how battery-efficient Snapdragon laptops are. For instance, in our extensive battery test, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 operated for nearly twenty-four hours. Pardon me as I raise my…

The eagerly awaited announcement has finally arrived, even though I was about to give up on it happening. Nintendo formally unveiled the Nintendo Switch 2 today, January 16, 2025. Despite having a larger display, better internal hardware, and larger Joy-Cons that attach and detach magnetically rather than sliding on rails, the successor to the Nintendo Switch has a remarkably similar appearance. Additionally, the video immediately announces the debut of a new Mario Kart game on the Switch 2! Naturally, that…

Although the end of support for Windows 10 is quickly approaching, there are compelling reasons why small and large enterprises should not make the hasty transition to Windows 11 just yet. For this reason, a lot of people use Microsoft Intune, a cloud-based program that lets managers control several devices and set up rules for things like upgrades. However, despite the update being prevented, devices are upgrading to Windows 11 due to an Intune problem. BleepingComputer noticed a post from…

If you have an Android phone, you have undoubtedly noticed that Google’s Gemini AI assistant appears everywhere, just as it has been showing up in YouTube, Docs, Google Search, and other places. Even if you’re not using a phone that bears the Google logo, this is still the case. As it turns out, Google is paying Samsung a lot of money to ensure that Gemini is prominent on its phones, so it’s no coincidence. Testimony in the ongoing and potentially…
