Microsoft Malaysia today announced the release of its Surface Laptop Go 2 lineup for our local market via commercial authorised resellers and authorised retailers. Offering a few upgrades over its predecessor, the most notable feature has got to be the better and more efficient 11th-gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor under the hood.

On 19 October, Google will launch its highly-anticipated Pixel 6 series along with the in-house chipset Tensor. Besides Google, someone might also be interested in making a new in-house chipset that fits better with its own devices. According to the latest information, Microsoft could be planning to develop its own for the Surface devices.

Fresh after announcing their Qualcomm 8CX Gen 2 chipset for laptops, Qualcomm recently held a virtual briefing on their upcoming plans for Windows on Snapdragon laptops for Southeast Asia. Suffice to say, they have been working with various laptop makers to bring their Snapdragon 850 and 7c compute platforms to market in Malaysia, perhaps as soon as Q1 or Q2 of 2021.

When it comes to more mobile devices, we're starting to see a lot of them with ARM-based chipsets. Some PC manufacturers may have thought about more compact Windows devices that use ARM processors but didn't go ahead with the plan due to poor support for 64-bit apps. Now, it looks like Microsoft has a plan to fix that.

Now that Microsoft has launched the Surface Duo tablet, its attention turns to other new products. The Xbox Series S that was announced yesterday is one of them, but it seems that the company may also be working on a new Surface laptop with a clamshell design.

Are you a fan of Microsoft Surface devices? Well, good news for you because the latest Surface Go 2 and Surface Book 3 are coming to Malaysia this month. You'll be able to get the latest mobile devices from Microsoft from retailers like Harvey Norman or online shops like Lazada.

With the Microsoft Surface seting the benchmark for 2-in-1 devices, companies try to go up and beyond the bar set by the device from Redmond. Acer’s answer is the liquid-cooled Switch Alpha 12. Thanks to its new cooling system, it is fanless, and results in a quiet computing experience.
