This is the most interesting part of the Surface Laptop Studio 2.

Microsoft has posted a new YouTube video showing off one of the most impressive new hardware features it announced at its Surface and AI event last week: Adaptive Touch.

This tool allows people with limited mobility in their hands to customize features like click zones, click sensitivity, double click speed, and palm rejection to make the Surface Laptop Studio’s touchpad easier to use. In this video, accessibility program manager Solomon Romney — who was born without fingers on his left hand — uses the Studio’s touchpad to copy and paste.

A gaming laptop for $699.

Acer’s Nitro gaming laptops are widely considered to be the best-value gaming laptops that money can buy (and they’re some of Acer’s best-selling products). The flagship Nitro V 15 has been upgraded to include Intel 13th-Gen Core processors, Nvidia GeForce RTX 40-series GPUs, and up to 32GB of DDR5 RAM. You also get a 165Hz FHD panela and up to 2TB of storage. The whole thing starts at $699.99, which is the main attraction.

It’s V as in “five”, not as in the name of the BTS member. Just to clarify. Since I know that is a thought you all had.

Framework’s barebones single-board computer now starts at just $199.

Framework sells its modular laptop motherboard a la carte to fulfill DIY desktop and cyberdeck dreams — and now, it’s selling off extra stock of these 11th Gen Intel Core models at deep discount.

You’ll also need storage, memory, and possibly ports (it’s only got four USB-C by itself). There’s also this neat transparent $39 Cooler Master case if you want to DIY an unofficial Intel NUC.
