In the wake of Apple’s latest announcements, Microsoft is gearing up for tomorrow’s debut of its new lineup of Windows 10 devices. Microsoft’s ecosystem is expected to expand further, as the Surface brand grows and branches out into new devices, some of which we might get a glimpse of as early as tomorrow.

Introducing: NeoKylin OS, a Linux-based operating system that looks and feel like Windows XP, in nearly every aspect. Even further, the Chinese government has gone through lengths to replicate, or mimic, bits and pieces of Microsoft Office, to provide government employees a set of built-in productivity tools.

Whether consumers have acquired Windows 10 through a free upgrade, a digital purchase, or following the purchase of a new laptop PC, chances are that a percentage of them, have experienced this brand new way of activating Windows, called Digital Entitlement.

Processing power, screen size and expandability are three factors to consider, when shopping for a laptop capable of replacing a desktop PC. With that in mind, while battery life and portability are not essential for a laptop that will be stationary most of the time, consumers are noticing a widening in the array of options available, when shopping for high-performance laptops that also feature longer battery life, and thinner and lighter form factor.
