Despite being a year old, the Surface Pro 9 is still the best Windows tablet you can get. Available in both a Wi-Fi version with 12th-generation Intel processors, or a 5G model with the Microsoft SQ3 chipset, this is a truly fantastic device.

Google has said for some time that it believes the future of online security is with passkeys, which replace traditional alphanumeric passwords. It added support for passkeys across Google services earlier this year, but now, it's positioning passkeys as the default login method for personal Google accounts.
