Surface Pro 4 eBooks, new firmware to improve the autonomy

Microsoft has already released several firmware updates turned to the latest models of the Surface line, routine updates introduced in order to carry on a constant process of refining performance. The latest firmware made available in the last hour for Surface and Surface Pro 4 Book were announced by the Panos Panay, currently responsible for the development of the entire line of Microsoft devices (Surface, but also Lumia smartphones).

The intervention rate of Panay is simple: it is in fact an update that should fix one of the main problems identified by the owners of the two products: battery consumption. Panay clarifies immediately in the post with which introduces the new update that this is just introduced a correction based on the volume of feedback received by the user on the point. Panay enters shortly into the merits of the corrective measures it merely confirmed that affect the options for saving energy.


It is reported, followed by the detailed changelog firmware dedicated to Surface Pro 4 - one addressed to holders of Surface Book introduces essentially the same changes, providing more a firmware update from the Surface Book Base that improves the battery life during on stand-by.

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...
