Cizmo CX15 Sports Intel

Relatively unknown German notebook maker Cizmo announced one of the first Intel-Montevina-equipped notebooks on Tuesday, the CX15. Besides sporting Intel’s latest mobile performance processor, also known as the Centrino 2, the CX15 will include a high-end graphics card, and a slick black design.

Cizmo will option the CX15 with Montevina processors running at 2.26GHz (P8400), 2.4GHz (P8600) and 2.53GHz (P9400). All offer the same high-speed 1066Mhz front-side bus. For graphics, the CX15 gets Nvidia’s GeForce 8800M GTX 512MB card, which offers dual-view display capability and HDCP support.

Other features include a 15.4-inch display, 2GB of DDR3 RAM that can be expanded to 4GB, an eSATA port for adding fast external drives, 7-in-1 card reader, and 2-megapixel webcam. A Blu-ray drive will also be available as an upgrade, although a CD/DVD combo drive will come standard.

The company lists the computer for €1,259.66 ($1,996) before taxes of 19 percent, which bring it right up to an even €1,499 ($2,386). The CX15 is available for pre-order now, but will begin shipping around June 13, after Intel formally introduces the new platform.

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.
