Thurrott appears to be confirming those suspicions with a report that a new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop will show up, both in a classy black color. The report also suggests there will be upgraded processors (my guess? Intel’s Whiskey Lake chips). To add fuel to the fire, MySmartPrice has photos of the Surface Laptop in black. Little else is known at this point, though I hope that the new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop get USB Type-C like the Surface Go and Surface Book 2 have....

Everything that made the previous model the best business laptop returns; The new Thinkpad X1 Carbon has fantastic 1080p and 4K display options, an unrivaled keyboard, a sleek yet durable chassis, and a generous selection of ports. With new rivals like the HP Elite Dragonfly and Asus ExpertBook B9450 delivering longer battery life in a similarly portable chassis, Lenovo’s if-it-ain’t-broke approach might not be so successful next time around. But for now, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon remains the best laptop for enterprise users, and one of the best laptops on the market, period....

What else can I say about this, except for it being a poorly-timed price bump at a time when everyone is feeling financial pressure. I can only guess this is because of economic uncertainty, but we have reached out to Logitech for comment. Here is a (developing) list of Logitech products that are now up to £150 more expensive than before, and some recommendations on how to get them at better prices....

The MacBook Pro 13 is barely a year old and, therefore, has all the modern features you’d expect from a high-end notebook. Since it also runs on Apple silicon, it shares a lot of core elements with the new MacBook Pro 14. And even though the M1 Pro processor is much more powerful, most people won’t tell the difference in everyday use. So which one should you buy? Read on to find out....

MacBook Pro 2021 Black Friday deal In our MacBook Pro 14 review, we named Apple’s laptop practically perfect, with its only downsides being its price and lack of USB-A port. Now that it’s £100 off, this makes the decision to give in and grab the MacBook Pro 14 that much easier. Apple already nailed the design, but the true star of the show is the new M1 Pro chip. The middle child in Apple’s proprietary line of chips, it has more than enough power to outperform some of the most powerful Intel and AMD-powered laptops....

Oddly, this news isn’t being promoted by Google itself, as the release notes don’t pack that tidbit. Instead, we’re learning it from AboutChromebooks.com, which notes that Android 9 Pie is a surprise perk of this new update, which also bakes in Google Assistant, which will not be limited to just Google’s own Pixelbook and Pixel Slate.

Of Microsoft’s litany of recent update fails, the October 2018 Update stands out for its long delays and deadly bugs. Microsoft was so far behind with the update that it skipped the Release Preview phase altogether before launching in October 2018. It didn’t take long for Microsoft’s mistake to catch up to them. Shortly after its release, the update was determined to be permanently deleting users’ files. Early adopters found that data had been removed from their Photos and Documents folders upon startup....

Another month, another problem with Windows 10 updates. Now, users are reporting a bug in a recent update to the operating system that prevents the update from installing, which sends some devices into an endless loop of failed installations. Fortunately for those users, the company acknowledged the issue late yesterday (Oct. 3), in a Microsoft Community forum post (opens in new tab) about the error. The problem is big enough, though, that the forum thread about the error is now 30 pages long....
