Tips and picks
Tip of the week: Waiting on a Surface Pro 4.5/5? Maybe it’s time for a more modern alternative
Creators who are getting tired of waiting on Microsoft to revise its Surface Pro lineup have an interesting and more modern new alternative to consider: Samsung has launched its new Galaxy Book 2-in-1.
App pick of the week: Movies & TV
Even those Windows 10 users who are never going to purchase movies or TV shows from Microsoft’s online store should check out the Movies & TV app, which gets a nice refresh with the Creators Update.

Codename pick of the week: Are you hungry? Office team has you covered
Soup, Samwitch, Breakfast, Dinner, Tapas: All codenames that seem to be for the coming full versions of Office apps that soon will be available in the Windows Store (thanks to the Centennial Bridge). Thanks to @h0x0d, the Walking Cat, for finding these
Beer pick of the week: Upland Brewing Irdescent
I don’t think I’ve ever had a beer from these excellent brewers in Bloomington, Indiana until recently. This ginger-apricot sour was a great introduction.
