W11 24H2 is not supported by Intel 10th gen and earlier. At this rate, I would be less motivated to move a W10 computer with an 11th gen processor to W11 in October. Why bother, if W11 won't be supported either?

Funny. Literally spent the whole night last night doing a fresh install on my Dell XPS, with a 10th gen. I did the ISO install so it was the newest 24H2 version that they didn't previously push to my pc. Spent some time trying to figure out why not last not... Thought maybe because I have a WD SSD or something like that... Seems to be working fine for me though...

Not supported is not the same as not working.

Lenovo announces proof of concept laptop with solar charging. They say "20 minutes of charging for an hour of video playback." Although, consider that some laptops can play 20 hours of video on the battery, which at a max WH of 99 comes out to about 5WH in 20 minutes. There aren't any hard WH numbers from Lenovo (indeed, it isn't for sale as of yet), but cool concept.

Cmon. Auto-repeating a video is used as a test because it is more accurate than PCMark as a representative for actually doing something low-key on your computer (ie word processing). Would you rather numbers that mean absolutely nothing, like what the manufacturers used to tell you about battery life?

Meanwhile, mostly positive reviews on AMD's 9070 cards.

Surface 7 (with Snapdragon) gets a frequently returned notice on Amazon. Not surprising - How much worse it is at casual gaming is enough of a reason to account for it.
