A new Windows laptop may be in the works at Samsung, and now there are a few photos to show us what it could look like.

According to The Verge, well-known leaker Evan Blass released a few photos of what is expected to be a new laptop from Samsung called the Galaxy Book S. Blass leaked the photos via his Twitter account, @evleaks.

The photos themselves don’t offer much in the way of what kinds of features to expect from the Galaxy Book S, but there are a few aspects we noticed: The display features fairly thin bezels on the sides of it and the side view of the laptop featured in one of the photos (see below) shows off what appears to be a headphone jack and a USB-C port. In addition, as The Verge notes, the keyboard of the Galaxy Book S also bears a strong resemblance to Microsoft’s Surface laptop design (see above).

In addition, the Galaxy Book S looks to be a fairly lightweight and thin laptop. It features a clamshell design that would be, as The Verge notes, a deviation from its predecessor, the Galaxy Book 2. That model is Samsung’s 2-in-1 laptop that features a detachable tablet, includes an S Pen stylus, and runs Windows 10. Digital Trends reviewed the Galaxy Book 2 in October 2018 and found a lot to like about it including a “vibrant display,” and the fact that the keyboard cover and S Pen stylus were included in the price. There were a few drawbacks, which included thick, “ugly” bezels and the fact that the Book 2 didn’t seem compatible “with some peripherals.”

If the leaked photos are any indication of the final version of the Galaxy Book S, it appears it will be a fairly sharp contrast to its predecessor in the sense that it’s not a tablet-focused 2-in-1, and that it seems to completely eschew the use of thick bezels. It’s possible that, similar to Microsoft’s Surface line, Samsung may just be trying to provide different laptop styles within its Galaxy Book line, as not everyone may want or need an ultra-portable 2-in-1.

Microsoft’s Copilot app has a new icon, and it’s causing problems

Bad news if you have a PC with a low resolution since Microsoft's new Copilot app icon is almost impossible to decipher on them, according to Windows Central. Microsoft's new logo now includes a bit of text embedded in the icon, which, depending on the resolution of your screen, might be impossible to read.

The poor design has not gone unnoticed online. Users can barely read the icon on their screens when they pin it to the Taskbar, and the lower pixel density makes it even harder to read the icon's text. If you have a Surface Laptop Go, which has a very low resolution display, there is a good chance you had no idea it said "M365." When you first saw it, you may have confused it with text such as MJEG, M366, or M355.

Microsoft is axing support for its own apps on Windows 10

Microsoft has announced that support for Microsoft 365 apps on Windows 10 will end this year on October 14, as reported by The Verge. This is also the end-of-support date for Windows 10 as a whole, but the move is still a little surprising considering that Microsoft is now offering the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) Program.

Anyone who joins this program for $30 can continue to safely use Windows 10 for a whole extra year -- so you might think that Microsoft would let them continue to use the Office apps too. That said, it's not like the apps will disappear, they just won't receive any more updates. According to Microsoft, this could cause "performance and reliability issues over time" but whether these issues will pop up within the ESU program's duration or not is anyone's guess.

As if you didn't already need plenty of reasons to finally upgrade to Windows 11, here's yet another.

The latest Windows 10 update, version KB5048239, isn't just failing to install -- it's actually updating successfully over and over again. This is the update that Microsoft first released in November 2024 on 21H2 and 22H2. As TechRadar reports, the software giant is rereleasing it again this month.
