One of the best things about the Windows PC ecosystem is the incredible variety of machines that manufacturers are producing. If you can imagine a form factor, chances are someone’s making it.

Sometimes a new machine is introduced that you wouldn’t have imagined, and it’s often more successful than you might have guessed. One such machine was the Gole1 mini PC with an eight-inch screen, which now has a successor in the Gole1 Plus, as Mini PC DB reports.

The Gole1 Plus is much like its predecessor in that it’s a PC stuffed into a mini-PC chassis, which isn’t so unusual. But, it also has an eight-inch 1280 x 800 display pasted to the front that supports eight points of touch. Toss in a speaker, and you essentially have a combination of a typical mini PC with low specs and a really thick tablet.

The machine is decidedly entry-level in terms of components. It’s centered around an Intel Cherry Trail Z8350 quad-core CPU with Intel HD graphics, and packs 4GB DDR3 RAM and up to 128GB NAND storage. Connectivity options include two USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.0 port. Wi-Fi duties are provided by a dual-band 802.11ac radio with an internal antenna.

The Gole1 Plus has a 5000-mAh battery to keep it powered while in chunky tablet mode, and two poles can be screwed into the back to prop it up for watching movies. While the Gole1 could be purchased with Linux installed, the Gole1 Plus is Windows 10 64-bit only.

It’s likely that the Gole1 Plus mini PC is something you’ll either really want or need, or something that you’ll marvel at as an example of the breadth of the Windows PC ecosystem before you move on to something a little more typical. If you’re one of those interested in a mini PC that can do dual duty as a tablet, then expect to pay around $200 for the privilege.

There are some great machines in the 15-inch laptop category, which has recently been stretched to include the more common 16-inch laptop. The best among them is the Apple MacBook Pro 16, which offers fast performance for tasks like video editing and the longest battery life.

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 is aimed not only at other 16-inch Windows laptops but also at the MacBook Pro 16. It offers many of the same benefits but at a lower price. Can it take a place at the top?

How to set an ‘Out of Office’ message in Microsoft Teams

Person using Windows 11 laptop on their lap by the window.

Many people use Microsoft Teams regularly to communicate with colleagues both inside of the office and remotely. It is considered one of the most efficient ways to ensure you can stay in contact with the people on your team, but what if you need to let people know you’re not readily available? Microsoft Teams has a method for you to set up an "Out of Office" status for your profile to let staff members know when you’ll be gone for the afternoon, for several days on vacation, or for an extended period.
Where do I go to set up my ‘Out of Office’ status for Teams?
It is important to note that your Microsoft Teams and Outlook calendars are synced. This includes your out-of-office status and automatic replies. So, whatever you set up in Microsoft Teams will reflect in Outlook. Similarly, you can set up your out-of-office status in Outlook, and it will be reflected in Teams; however, the former has a more straightforward instruction.

First, you can click on your profile icon in Teams and go directly to Schedule an out of office, as a shortcut. This will take you to the settings area where you can proceed. You can also click the three-dot icon next to your profile icon, then go to Settings > General, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. There, you'll find out-of-office settings and click Schedule.
