Windows is back on the Microsoft menu

I can't remember the last time Microsoft kicked off a Build keynote with Windows front and center, but that's exactly what CEO Satya Nadella did this week.

Remarkable’s refurbished Paper Pro bundle is hundreds off

Color E Ink tablets aren’t usually affordable. I’m not going to say that Woot’s price on a refurbished “good as new” Remarkable Paper Pro is cheap, but it’s pretty fantastic compared to buying one new. Normally $629 just for the tablet, you can get a bundle that includes the big 11.8-inch Paper Pro plus $139 worth of brand new accessories (a Mosaic Weave Book Folio and a Marker Plus) for $509 if you buy it used. The bundle comes with a 90-day warranty, which pales in comparison so Remarkable’s o
