Microsoft announced a series of upgrades to its hardware line today, and our sister site The Verge has full coverage of the latest updates:
- The company updated its Surface tablet, which is thinner, lighter and more powerful.
- There’s a new Surface laptop called the Surface Book that includes a 13.5-inch display and costs $1,499.
- The new version of Band, Microsoft’s fitness tracker, is “meant for both seasoned athletes and people who are just looking to improve their daily health and fitness routines.”
- And the latest version of Microsoft’s flagship phone, the Lumia 950, comes with a 5.2-inch OLED display, three gigabytes of RAM and — wait for it — liquid cooling.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
