With the issue now under the microscope thanks to high-profile coverage, ASRock is making an effort to win back customer confidence through warranty extensions and a renewed PR push. The story began unfolding earlier this year, as reports surfaced of Zen…

Working outside the office has its charms, especially during fall when a warm drink and a café table feel like the perfect work environment. The downside, of course, is running out of battery when outlets are scarce.

Designed with laptops in mind, the Blade avoids the bulky, brick-like build that plagues most high-capacity power banks. At just 0.7 inches thick and weighing under a pound, it…

According to Windows Latest, experimental code in Edge’s Canary build suggests that Microsoft is preparing to loosen restrictions that have long kept users within its browser and Bing ecosystem.

One, named msExplicitLaunchNonEdgeDB, appears to enable explicit support for launching links in a “non-Edge default browser.” Another, called msExplicitLaunchNonBingDSE, seems even more…

Energizer claims it can deliver up to 28 hours of browsing, 11 hours of intensive use such as gaming, and even up to a week of standby time—numbers that dwarf the typical endurance of most notebooks. But while the huge battery is impressive, it also means…
