What sets these chips apart is the incredible combination of power and efficiency - even amongst stiff competition from the latest generation of MacBooks and x86 Windows devices. Workers with high-powered laptops are used to having to plug them in regularly to maintain battery life and enjoy strong performance, but the latest generation Snapdragon laptops do things differently. With Windows on Snapdragon, you get incredible battery life with sustained performance even when unplugged, for a truly untethered, high-performance computing experience.
These are the kind of laptop devices which let your workers stay productive for longer, wherever they are, without constraint. Most laptop owners are used to staying near a charger for maximum performance and expect far less than 10 hours of battery life between charges. With the new Snapdragon X Series laptops, however, you can upend their preconceptions with a new tier of performance and longevity. Snapdragon X Series laptops can offer up to 22 hours of battery life. That's enough for multiple workdays, whether it's back-to-back meetings, long-haul travel, or home-office marathons (with a quick streamed movie in their downtime).
With its mobile heritage,

One of the easiest way to do it is to use CCleaner — and right now CCleaner Professional is on sale for just $14.95 on the PCWorld Store. That's a 63 percent discount for a 1-year/1-device license.
Our friends over at Tech Advisor reviewed CCleaner Professional and gave it a 4.5-star rating and their Editors' Choice award as they found it's not only affordable but also offers solid performance. It's packed with useful tools and features, too. "CCleaner remains one of the best cleaning software options around, not only at one of the lowest prices but offering top-notch performance," reads the review.
CCleaner Professional can remove junk files (like temporary files that are left over from installations), browsing history, cache files, and other types of files that were supposed to be removed but stuck around. It'll free up a lot more storage space than you realize.
It can also optimize your device's performance by identifying and freezing unnecessary background processes that waste computing cycles. Other tools include utilities for permanently deleting sensitive files (so they can never be recovered) and removing tracking data and cookies (to preserve your privacy while using the internet).
Get CCleaner Professional for the special price of $14.95 on the PCWorld Store and keep your computer clean and opti

Opera is introducing Opera Air, a new web browser designed around mindfulness. The app has a "minimalist Scandinavian design" and frosted glass accents, which blend well with the mindfulness concept. While pretty, Opera Air has features for relaxation, concentration, resting, and more, which you normally only see in meditation apps.
There are four break modes: breathing, neck exercises, meditation and "full body scan." Breathing exercises and meditation can help calm you down by lowering stress levels, while neck exercises help loosen sore neck muscles. The full body scan is a different type of meditation that involves focusing your attention on various body parts and the sensations that arise. These breaks can be as short as three minutes or as long as 15. Breaks can be taken voluntarily or by setting a timer.
Opera Air also incorporates binaural beats as "boosts." Binaural beats are an audio illusion created when two slightly different frequencies are played in each ear, tricking the brain into "hearing" a third frequency. Opera Air has several boosts that improve creativity, help with focus and induce relaxation, among others. Opera even claimed that one can help users recall dreams.
According to Senior Director of Product at Opera Mohamed Salah, the web is beautiful, but the company wants to "look at science-based ways" to help users navigate chaotic (and sometimes hostile) internet content. While mindfulness apps like Headspace exist, Opera Air packs those features in the app many people use most frequently.

According to Adobe, you no longer need to go through that… at least if you trust its AI system to summarize your contracts for you.
"Contract Intelligence" is what Adobe is calling the new Acrobat AI Assistance feature. It can recognize contracts in PDFs or scanned documents, then generate overviews that are more digestible. "Acrobat AI Assistant generates summaries and responses with clear language and clickable citations, making it fast and easy to navigate to the source and verify responses," says the blog post (spotted by The Verge).
On the face of it, that seems like a good thing. Contracts are long and confusing — often intentionally so, but sometimes just out of necessity for a complex process. And I'm sure I'm not alone in needing some help truly understanding even the basic stuff, like a lease or insurance policy.
But considering the extremely public and widespread issues we've encountered with generative AI summaries, I would hesitate to rely on any tool applying that tech to something as important as a legally binding contract. And that's just a lack of faith in "AI" on my part.
