Whether you need a monitor for work or everyday tasks, finding the right one for you can be a job in itself, especially with so many options available–you’re often faced with a deluge of complicated model numbers that tell you nothing of the quality of the peripheral.

One thing that always annoys me about Windows is that I never really feel like I know how long my laptop battery has before it runs out — and, conversely, how long it will be before it’s fully charged. An ancient utility holds both secrets. When a group of PCWorld editors were brainstorming new article ideas, I suddenly remembered NirSoft’s BatteryInfoView, a freeware utility I hadn’t honestly thought about since before the pandemic. A few years of working at home, plugged in, meant that I hadn’t any need for a battery utility. BatteryInfoView is about as basic as it comes. It was developed ..read more
