Microsoft Weekly: New Surface devices, April Patch Tuesday, and game updates and some reviews

April 18, 2021

Hi folks! Here's the April 18 edition of the newsletter. Feedback welcomed!

A new acquisition, new content for games, and even new Surface devices were all unveiled this week. If you haven't had time to catch up, make sure to do so via our handy weekly recap.

Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is a wildly good convertible. It's got a 3:2 display, a unique design, and it weighs in at just over 2.5 pounds. It's also thinner than some smartphones.

Honor's latest smart band looks a whole lot like the Honor Watch ES, but it's smaller and significantly cheaper. It packs a lot of the same health tracking features at half the price.

Huawei's latest MateBook X Pro isn't a redesign from any of its predecessors, and while that makes for a great overall experience, it does leave the webcam located in the keyboard.

Lenovo's ThinkBook 14 Gen 2 is the latest from its SMB laptop lineup, and with AMD Ryzen 4000 processors and a premium aluminum build, it sure packs a punch considering the low price point of $629.85.

Dell's Latitude 7320 laptop hasn't been redesigned by much since last year's 7310, but it's still an excellent machine. But now, it comes with Intel's 11th-generation 'Tiger Lake' processors.

Rugged smartphone connoisseur DOOGEE launched the S59 Pro in December. Today's review will take a look at the device boasting a giant 10,050mAh battery, assessing whether the phone holds its own.

The week will see SpaceX take more astronauts to the ISS, a Helicopter fly on Mars, and possibly the first successful landing on SpaceX's Starship after it was selected for NASA's Artemis missions.
