Computing(Image: © Future)Microsoft Build 2025 is nigh, and I'm going to be there this week covering it live in Seattle. This could be a big deal because Build is the company's annual conference for developers, and I expect AI to be the star of the show. Between Microsoft bringing DeepSeek R1 models to Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs and Microsoft 365 Copilot debuting new research tools for work. it's clear AI remains a key priority for the company's software and services.

All the major PC manufacturers are going to be showing off new hardware at Computex 2025 in Taiwan next week, and it looks like Acer is going to have some slick new laptops with Nvidia RTX 50-series GPUs and OLED displays. I'm excited about that because I'm a sucker for a great OLED panel, and Acer has some new Swift laptops that look like they could be serious contenders for the best Windows laptops of 2025.

I've been playing PC games since I was a kid, but until recently I never felt great doing so on a TV. It's not that I don't love dragging a computer into the living room—my apartment is so small that ease of access could be considered a selling point of the floor plan. As part of my work here at Tom's Guide I get to review some of the best gaming laptops you can buy, too, so I often have a chance to plop one down on the coffee table and play a bit of Cyberpunk 2077 on the big screen.

The Mavix M9 gaming chair ($999) isn't cheap, but after sitting in one for the better part of a year I've come to appreciate the value of this sturdy, high-end gaming chair. This is a big deal for me because I'm 6'4" and nearly 40 years old, so it's not easy to find any chair I can sit in comfortably for more than a few hours at a time.

Microsoft's annual Build conference kicks off later this month, and alongside that event, the company will start selling a new Surface Pro tablet that's smaller, lighter and cheaper than last year's model. This is kind of a big deal for me as someone who reviews tablets for a living, because last year's Surface Pro 11 is, for my money, the best tablet Microsoft's ever sold. in our Surface Pro 11 review, my colleague Tony Polanco called that model "the best Surface in years" for good reason.
