Google has finally ditched one-tap buys on the Play Store for a swipe-to-buy move, making sure you really want to spend your cash.
The “Slide to buy” feature rolled out with Play Store version 46.5.19-31 and shows up everywhere — apps, books, movies, even Google TV.
Instead of a quick tap, you now drag a pill-shaped button with helpful arrows and bounce effects guiding you to confirm.
Google has now swapped out the one-tap buy on the Play Store for a slide-to-buy gesture in order to tackle accidental purchases head-on, making sure you actually mean to hit buy.
Following up on what was teased in March’s Play Services update, Google Play Store has officially replaced its old one-tap buy button with a swipe-to-confirm gesture. Spotted first by9to5Google, this “Slide to buy” feature is now live across the whole digital lineup, such as apps, books, movies, you name it.
This change appears to be rolling out wide with Play Store version 46.5.19-31. You’ll see it pop up everywhere you make a Google Play purchase — whether you’re buying from third-party apps or right inside the Google TV app.
Instead of just tapping once, users now interact with a pill-shaped button that has a circular handle you drag. Animated arrows and a little bounce hint at the swipe action, making it clear how to seal the deal before buying.

Single-tap buys made it way too easy to accidentally spend cash, especially on apps. Seeing this problem, Google has stepped in to fix it. What used to be a quick checkout had a downside—people clicking “buy” by mistake. This new slide move is Google’s way of cutting down those oops moments for good.
With this change, now you have to swipe sideways to confirm before the usual password or fingerprint step kicks in. This new slide-to-buy gesture works the same whether you’re grabbing a one-off app or signing up for a subscription through the Play Store.
This swipe move is a solid upgrade, especially for people who’ve dialed back or turned off purchase checks. It’s a smart way to make buying stuff a whole lot less stressful, and honestly, we’re all here for it.
These are the laptops with screens we love to touch
The best touchscreen laptops offer a simple yet extremely helpful way to navigate around your PC, giving you easy access to tap, swipe and scroll your way through apps, browsers and, if you have a stylus,plentymore.
There’s something special about being able to transform a laptop into a handy notepad, a canvas for creative work (doodling included) or a portable screen to binge-watch shows like you would on a tablet. And a touchscreen makes this all accessible with just a touch.
I’ve been putting laptops to the test and reviewing the latest releases for years, from Windows PCs or Chromebooks to visually stunning OLED displays or bang-for-your-buck screens, and it’s shown me how great a touchscreen laptop can be.
If a touchscreen on a PC is a priority for you, our list of recommendations all about the best touchscreen laptops will give you a few ideas.

The Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 is the first Surface Laptop to ship with a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip inside instead of Intel, and the upgrade makes all the difference.
While earlier iterations of the Surface Laptop were middling at best, this 7th generation model is speedy and has battery life to spare. In our battery test it lasted nearly 16 hours on a full charge, so you can count on it lasting you through a full day of work or school.
And you should have no trouble tapping and swiping your way through the workday thanks to the Surface Laptop 7’s 120Hz touchscreen. You can get it in either 13-inch or 15-inch varieties, and in our testing the screen is bright, beautiful and easy to use.
The Acer Chromebook Spin 714 is one of the more powerful 2-in-1 Chromebooks you can buy, and its snappy touchscreen makes it a great choice for those who prefer to tap rather than type.
While it’s less capable and less powerful than the other laptops on this list, the Spin 714 has one key strength the others can’t match: affordability. For under $800 (or sometimes under $500 if you find it on sale) you get this great Chromebook that transforms into a tablet, along with a free stylus (so you can doodle as well as tap and swipe) and a free wireless travel mouse.
Plus, you get lots of ports: HDMI out, USB-C and USB-A for plugging in peripherals, as well as a headphone jack for private listening parties. If you don’t mind owning a touchscreen laptop that requires an Internet connection to be fully functional, this is a great value.

-Dim screen in direct light -1-Click function keys waste space -Middling performance
The Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 8 is a premium 2-in-1 Windows 11 laptop with a lovely OLED touchscreen, and while it’s a bit pricier than our top recommendation, it’s worth the extra cost for those who can afford it because you get a lovely OLED touchscreen, a great soundbar and a stylus included at no charge.
While we wish Lenovo hadn’t gotten rid of the little garage you could slide the stylus into on earlier models of the 9i, we still think this is a fantastic laptop that’s easy to carry to work or school at 12.52 x 9.06 x 0.6 inches thick and just over 3 pounds heavy.
Factor in the great speakers and the all-day battery life (this laptop lasted just over 10 hours in our in-house battery test) and you start to see why this is the laptop to splurge on if you want something a little more premium than the Surface Laptop 7.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 11 is technically a Windows 11 tablet, but you can get it with a keyboard cover if you really want the full laptop experience. But given how navigable Windows has gotten via touch in the last few years, you should have no trouble tapping and swiping your way through your workday with this svelte little tablet.
And it’s better than ever thanks to the power and longevity of the new Snapdragon X chips inside, which give this portable PC the best battery life of any Surface Pro we’ve ever tested. And now for the first time you can upgrade it with an OLED touchscreen, which really makes the tapping and swiping on this machine feel luxurious.
Plus, the Snapdragon chips inside give this tablet good performance and great battery life (12 hours in our testing), so you can count on being able to use this machine on the go for a day or more.
If you’re in the market for a great touchscreen tablet that can double as a laptop if you really need it to, the Surface Pro 11 is our top recommendation.
The best dual-screen
5. Lenovo Yoga Book 9i
The best touchscreen laptop when you absolutely, positively need two screens

-Priced higher than other 2-in-1 laptops -Minimal ports
When one touchscreen on your laptop just isn’t enough, you need the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i.
This unique laptop unites a pair of 13.3-inch OLED touchscreens in one device, giving you more usable screen space than basically any other laptop on the market right out of the box.
Thanks to the included keyboard and folio kickstand you can use the Yoga Book 9i in a variety of configurations. Flip one over to show someone something in presentation mode, or spread the two panels side-by-side for a dual-monitor setup that travels with you.
While it takes some getting used to, once you get the hang of setting it up and using the gesture commands on the pair of touchscreens, I think you’ll find the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is a surprisingly usable and useful dual-touchscreen laptop.
+Display is bright and color-accurate +Doubles as a solid gaming laptop +Expanded port array is a nice upgrade +Sliding screen gives this 2-in-1 unique value
Reasons to avoid
-Middling battery life -No stylus included limits this laptop’s versatility
The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio sports an eye-catching hinged display that you can either close as normal or slide down so the touchscreen lies flat over the keyboard, turning it into a hefty Windows tablet.
Being able to slide the display gives you novel ways of using the laptop, like tenting the screen over the keyboard so you can tap it like an easel (great for making art) or watch videos on a desk. And if you pay extra for Microsoft’s Surface Slim Pen 2 stylus, you get haptic feedback when writing or drawing on the touchscreen to boot.
But what’s really exciting about the Surface Laptop Studio 2 is that you can configure it with extra RAM and a discrete Nvidia GeForce RTX 40-series laptop GPU. If you pay for this upgrade, it can play many of the best PC games at good to great framerates, something no other laptop on this list can do.
So while it’s not as speedy or long-lasting as some other laptops on this list, like the Snapdragon machines, the Surface Laptop Studio 2 is the best touchscreen laptop for folks who want to do some serious gaming after work—just make sure to pay for the Nvidia GeForce upgrade.
The best OLED
7. Asus Zenbook 14X OLED
OLED + touchscreen = beauty
Specifications
Display:14.5-inch OLED 2.8K (2800 x 1880, 120Hz)CPU:Intel Core i9-13900HGPU:Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050RAM:Up to 32GBStorage:up to 1TBWeight:3.44 pounds
-Fan noise is a problem under heavy load -Can run hot while gaming -Battery life could be better
The Asus Zenbook 14X OLED may not be the most powerful laptop for power users, nor is it the best one for gaming, but one thing’s for sure: this notebook’s OLED display is one of the finest around.
Sporting a 14.5-inch 2.8K (2800 x 1880) OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, this is a screen you’ll want to touch. It offers accurate colors and good brightness, and you can expect everything on display to deliver crisp details that pop.
With its RTX 3050 onboard, it even manages to pull off some gaming, and for those graphically stunning PC titles, the display makes them shine.
Its touchscreen is a welcome inclusion, even if it’s not the Zenbook 14X OLED’s main focus. But it’s a visual treat to tap and swipe around. Be warned, though, it doesn’t handle heavy loads very well, which makes it spin up fans a tad too loud and makes it hot under pressure.
Despite all that, we’re big fans of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED (along with its thin, portable form factor), and it makes for a great touchscreen laptop.
How to choose the best touchscreen laptop for you
What kind of power do you want?If you only need something basic for surfing the web, consider either a Chromebook (like the Acer Chromebook Spin 714) or a cheaper Windows laptop like the Surface Pro 11 or Surface Laptop 7. If you want to do more demanding things like play games or edit video, I recommend getting a laptop with a discrete GPU and extra RAM, like the Surface Laptop Studio 2.
How big of a laptop do you want?Consider how often you plan to carry this laptop around. If the answer is “not very often”, you’re free to pick whatever catches your eye without worrying too much about weight and size.
But if you are planning on carrying this laptop to work, school or elsewhere on a regular basis, consider getting something smaller and more portable like the Surface Pro 11 or Chromebook Spin 714. Both are a bit smaller and lighter than the other laptops on this list, so they won’t be quite as rough on your back and shoulders if you need to lug them around all day.
Do you want Chrome or Windows?Some of our top picks are Chromebooks that run on Google’s ChromeOS, while the rest run on Microsoft’s Windows operating system.
Both are pretty navigable by touch, but Chrome is more limited than Windows in that it basically requires you to be connected to the Internet to do anything. Windows is more capable and more complicated than Chrome, but you can count on Windows supporting basically anything you need to do on a PC.
So if you want to run complicated programs, play games or do intensive work on your PC (like coding or editing photos and videos) I recommend you stick with Windows. But if all you need your laptop to do is browse the web, you’re just fine with a Chromebook like the Spin.
Unfortunately, Apple has yet to make a MacBook with a touchscreen. If you love the way Apple operating systems work, thebest iPadyou can afford paired with a detachable keyboard is the closest you can get to a touchscreen Apple laptop.
Battery benchmarks: comparison
You want to know how long your laptop will last on a full charge, which is why we run every laptop we review through a series of battery tests to see how long it actually lasts.
However, these tests don’t necessarily reflect real-world use patterns since we have to set every laptop to the same settings in order to do fair comparisons. So while the times listed here are useful for comparing laptops, don’t think you’ll necessarily get the same time on a full charge at home.

Performance test results compared
You want a sense of how capable and speedy a laptop will be before you buy it, so you should have a sense of how their performance compares.
That’s why we run every laptop we test and review through the Geekbench CPU benchmarking utility: to get a sense of how capable it is in terms of raw CPU power. The way you use the laptop and the things you put on it will ultimately determine how well it performs, but this baseline comparison can give you a general idea of how they stack up.
Geekbench assigns the laptop a score for its performance in single-core workloads and multi-core workloads, which we then report to you against similar laptops to help you decide. The single-core workload score is typically a little more meaningful because not all apps are optimized for multi-core performance, but many are so it is important to know.
Your computer’s motherboard is the main circuit board that powers the system and connects key components like the CPU, RAM, GPU, and storage drives. Just like other PC parts, not all motherboards are the same. They vary in size, socket type, chipset, and features like RAM support, storage, and connectivity. If you’re thinking about upgrading your computer, knowing your motherboard’s brand and model can be a big help. Similarly, you might need to know your motherboard’s serial number for things like warranty registration, submitting a claim, or finding compatible parts. It’s also useful when downloading BIOS updates directly from the manufacturer’s website. Some software might even ask for it during registration. In large organizations, IT teams often keep track of serial numbers as part of their hardware inventory. No matter the reason, checking the serial number is quite easy, and you don’t even have to open up your computer’s case to find it.>>>Replacement battery for Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 1964How to find your motherboard’s serial number
Finding your motherboard’s serial number in Windows 10 or 11 is simple. You simply have to run a quick command in the Command Prompt. Along with the serial number, you’ll also see details like the manufacturer, model, and version number. Here’s what you need to do:
Press Win + S to open the search menu.
Type Command Prompt in the text box and select the first result that appears.
In the console, type the following command and hit Enter:
wmic baseboard get product, manufacturer, serialnumber, version>>>Replacement battery for Microsoft Surface Pro 8 1982 1983The Command Prompt will now display your motherboard’s brand, product number, serial number, and version. If you usually work in PowerShell, you can use this command instead:gwmi win32_baseboard | FL Product,Manufacturer,SerialNumber,VersionMotherboards typically also have the serial number printed directly on the circuit board. So, if your computer won’t turn on for some reason, you can open the case and look for a sticker or label on the circuit board. The exact location of the serial number may vary, and you might need to clean the motherboard if it’s covered in dust or dirt.
For as long as I can remember, Nintendo’s gamepads have been a core part of my life. The NES’s original rectangular controller was awfully unergonomic, but I still loved it, and it set me down the path of being a lifelong gaming and gadget geek. The SNES’s rounded gamepad practically defined my childhood. It’s so iconic, you can still see echoes of its layout in most controllers today. I didn’t have much love for the Nintendo 64’s triple-armed monstrosity (or that system in general), but the Gamecube’s cartoonishly quirky controller was fantastic, especially when Nintendo’s WaveBird finally made wireless gaming a reality. And while I didn’t like the Wiimote or Wii U tablet much either, I can respect the swings Nintendo took with both of them.>>>Replacement battery for Nintendo Game Boy Micro OXY-001 Y76NB01
Switch 2 Pro Controller
The Switch 2 Pro controller is clearly the most refined gamepad Nintendo has ever made. It’s just a shame that it’s so expensive and doesn’t have Hall effect sticks.Pros
Incredibly smooth joysticks
Responsive face buttons
Accurate D-pad
Comfortable ergonomics
Customizable rear buttons
Cons
So expensive
No Hall effect sticks
No analog triggers
>>>Replacement battery for Nintendo 3DS N3DSSo, believe me when I say this: The Switch 2 Pro Controller is the best gamepad Nintendo has ever made. It feels wonderfully ergonomic and luxurious in your hands, its joysticks are buttery smooth and all of its buttons deliver excellent feedback. It’s a huge step up from the original Switch’s Pro controller, which felt weirdly cheap and plasticky, especially when rotating its analog sticks. And, as an added bonus, the Switch 2 Pro controller is also customizable, thanks to two rear buttons that can be quickly programmed in any game. There’s even a 3.5mm jack to plug in wired headphones, something I’ve never seen on a Nintendo controller before (but which has been standard on Xbox and PlayStation systems for decades).
Switch 2 Pro Controller
Switch 2 Pro Controller
The Switch 2 Pro Controller isn’t perfect, though. For one, it costs $85 (up from its originally announced $80 price, thanks to the Trump administration’s tariffs). I suppose that’s not as bad as buying a whole new pair of Joy-Con 2s for $95, and it’s not too far off from the PlayStation 5’s $75 Dual Sense 2, but it still stings. It’s even more painful when you consider that8Bitdo’s excellent Ultimate wireless controllercurrently costs $50 (down from a $70 launch price), it works with the Switch 2, has rear buttonsandit features Hall effect joysticks. That means they’re impervious to the drifting problem that plagued the Switch 1’s controllers.
While gamers have been begging Nintendo to implement Hall effect sticks for years, the company still hasn’t listened. Both the Joy-Con 2 and Switch 2 Pro Controller appear to use the same mechanism as the Switch 1’s accessories. In an interview, Nintendo producer Kouichi Kawamotosaid the company “redesigned everything from scratch,” for the Joy-Con 2, and from my time with the Pro 2 Controller it also feels significantly different than before. But really, all I can do is hope and pray it doesn’t start drifting. One Reddit user claimed that their Switch 2 Joy-Cons were drifting right out of the box, but that doesn’t appear to be a widespread issue.
Beyond the pricing and technical disappointments, though, the Switch 2 Pro Controller is a dream to play with. It seriously leveled-up myMario Kart Worldperformance, since it was easier to drift around corners and hop up to rails without cramping my hands, something that’s unavoidable with the Joy-Con 2. I was able to play for several hours with the new Pro controller and I didn’t notice any pain, and I could also still hold it easily as my palms got sweaty.
As someone who was raised on every version ofStreet Fighter 2on the SNES, I also had to put the Switch 2 Pro Controller through its paces for fighting games. And let me tell you, the hadoukens came easily. The controller’s D-pad sits under my left thumb comfortably, and it’s a cinch to click and rotate to performStreet Fighter 2moves. While playingSoulcalibur 2(now available as part of the Gamecube Classics for Nintendo Online subscribers), the Switch 2 Pro controller was also comfortable while holding my right fingers above the face buttons, similar to an arcade stick. (That’s aSoulcaliburtechnique I learned on the Dreamcast and never let go.)
Despite being fine-tuned for Mario Kart, the Switch 2 Pro Controller isn’t ideal for more realistic racing games since it doesn’t have analog triggers like its predecessor. Nintendo engineers have said in interviews that the company opted for digital triggers since they’re quicker to respond. Premium gamepads like the Xbox Elite have switches that let you choose between quick trigger modes and long analog presses, so there’s clearly a cure for Nintendo’s analog aversion. But implementing that sort of customization also makes gamepads far more complex and expensive.
At least Nintendo gave us a modicum of customization with the Switch 2 Pro controller’s rear GL and GR buttons, which sit right above the handle grips. You can instantly remap their functionality in any game from the Switch 2’s quick settings menu, making it easier to do things like switch weapons or jump without moving your thumbs away from the joysticks. I ended up remapping the drift and action buttons in Mario Kart World to GL and GR, which helped me avoid reaching up to hit the top trigger buttons. You can also remap all of the Switch 2 Pro Controller’s buttons from the Switch 2’s accessibility menu, where you can create presets for different titles too.
After around 10 hours of playing a variety of games, the Switch 2 Pro Controller’s battery fell to 82 percent. Nintendo claims it can last up to 40 hours, but unfortunately I haven’t been able to play that much during this review. Based on what I’m seeing, though, the gamepad should reach 40 hours easily.
As much as I like the Switch 2 Pro Controller, it’s undoubtedly an extravagance at $85 when 8Bitdo’s Ultimate gamepad offers even more features for $50. But if you’re a dedicated Nintendo fan, or you just can’t accept third-party controllers, it’s also one of the best gamepads you can buy today.
Should you buy the Switch 2 Pro Controller?
You should buy the Switch 2 Pro Controller if you:
Like the original Switch Pro Controller
Primarily play docked
Enjoy extra buttons and button remapping
Prefer a more quality feel compared to the Joy-Cons
You should not buy the Switch 2 Pro Controller if you:
Countries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe can purchase Helldivers 2 once again.
It turns out that region-locking your games makes it harder to sell more copies. First discovered byWario64, Sony has lifted regional restrictions for several of its titles that are available to play on PC through Steam. Sony hasn’t officially announced the removal of these region locks, nor the reason why, butGod of War Ragnarok, The Last of Us Part II Remastered,Spider-Man 2, and the hit co-op shooterHelldivers 2can be purchased once again in 177 countries that were previously prohibited, as seen in database changelogs.
To understand why Sony decided to limit sales of its games in certain countries, we have to revisit when the video game publisher announced it would requireHelldivers 2PC players to link their Steam accounts to the PlayStation Network. This controversial decision prohibited players in countries that didn’t have access to the PSN, so Sony also removedHelldivers 2from being on sale in those locations. The publisherquickly backtrackedon that move, even laterremoving the PSN requirementsfor other titles likeSpider-Man 2.
More recently, the PC release ofStellar Bladeon June 11 resurfaced Sony’s PSN login requirement debacle. The game’s developer, Shift Up, was able to work with Sony to loosen restrictions and make a PSN login optional, allowing for an explosive launch where the game saw a peak of nearly 200,000 players in its opening week. Now, PC gamers across the world can playStellar BladeandHelldivers 2without needing a PSN account. However, there are still some Sony titles on Steam that are heavily restricted, likeGhost of TsushimaandUntil Dawn.
