In the United States, Toshiba is mainly known for its stalwart line of notebooks computers, but now the company has chosen to zig instead of zag, launching the DX1215, it’s first all-in-one computer for the U.S. market. The DX1215 will feature a 21.5-inch 1080p touchscreen display, USB 3.0 connectivity, and will be powered by second-generation Intel Core i5 or Core i7 processors.

“Toshiba combined its experience with computing platforms and visual products to create an All-in-One that truly complements the living situations of our customers with a PC that offers high performance, premium features, and unique styling,” said Toshiba America Information Systems VP of product development Carl Pinto, in a statement.

Toshiba is positioning the DX1215 as both a general-purpose computer and an entertainment hub—especially in places like dens and dorm rooms where space might be at a premium. The 21/5-inch display supports full HD 1080p content and can be set at a variety of angles for either viewing or touch applications. The system also sports premium Onkyo audio, with the sound system features Waves MaxxAudio processors.

The DX12125 will sport a 1 TB 7200rpm hard drive for plenty of music and movie storage, two USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, and an integrated DVD±RW super multi drive—it doesn’t appear Blu-ray drives are available even as an option. Toshiba is also throwing in some proprietary technologies, including Sleep & Music (so users can play audio through the PC speakers when the unit is asleep), along with upscaling to improve the look of standard-resolution DVD content on the HD display. The unit will ship with a Bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse, and Toshiba will also be offering an optional TV tuner.

Expect to see the DX1215 at Best Buy starting July 3, with prices starting at $929.99.

I love the MacBook Pro, but this Windows laptop came surprisingly close

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.
