If you don't already subscribe to PC Pro (and that's just weird), do make an effort to pick up the latest issue from a newsagent or supermarket. Lead feature is called "30 greatest moments in technology" and counts down our pick of the events that have happened since we launched in 1994. Enjoy!
READERS POLL! Looking ahead to the next 30 years, are you optimistic about the future of technology or pessimistic? Please let us know why in the comments.
(We're asking because it's the 30th anniversary issue of PC Pro, which started way back in 1994.)
Readers' poll: Do you, or anyone you support (friends, family, work), still run Windows 10? Yes/no - and then please share info if you would like!
Readers' poll for issue 358: Do you own a NAS drive? Yes/no
If yes, what are the main things you use it for? If no, what puts you off? We're looking for home and business usage.
Many thanks in advance - Tim
We're putting together a feature about what people want from Windows 12. Any thoughts?

Readers' poll: in all likelihood, which OS is your next computer going to run: Windows, macOS, Chrome OS or Linux? As always, please let us know why and any other thoughts too!
New issue of PC Pro is now on sale. And it's packed. Copilot laid bare, 11 security suites on test, Vision Pro review, gigabit fibre altnets, how to create a Wi-Fi heatmap, job hunting tips on LinkedIn. And a whole lot more.
Quick poll: Now that Microsoft has integrated its Copilot AI into the Office apps, which of these best describes your views? And please explain why (your comments may appear in the magazine)...
Love it/Hate it/Haven't tried it/Really don't care
Quick poll for the next issue of PC Pro: do you want your next laptop or PC to include an AI chip? (What Intel and AMD are calling "AI PCs".)
Please say yes or no, plus add your comments and they may be published in the magazine...
Quick poll (well, question): if an AI assistant could do one thing for you, what would that thing be? Please explain why in your response - thanks!
Quick poll! Do you think smart glasses will ever take off? Let us know yes/no in the comments, and if you let us know why you think that way your words may well find their way into the magazine...
Readers' poll: Do you have a favourite technology brand? Please write it below and say why!
Our thanks to readers who have pointed out that the Asus ExpertBook B1 we reviewed this month (see p87) is not available for the published £430. Unfortunately, we made a mistake when checking the price on the Asus website, and the actual spec is closer to £800 (on other sites).
The reason we weren't shocked by the much lower price is that Intel is heavily discounting the 12th gen Core chips, so paying less than £500 for a spec such as the B1's is no longer surprising (for example, Honor sells a Core i5-12450H MagicBook X 16 for £450).
However, we should have picked up on this mistake so our apologies for the error. - Tim Danton, Editor-in-chief
Just a quick word to say a huge thank you to everyone who took part in our Excellence Awards survey. Over 9,000 people took part, and we're grateful to each and every one of you.
This month's poll is super-quick to answer: is Windows 10 Microsoft's best OS of all time? (If yes, let us know why; if no, let us know what is... and why!)
Voting will soon be over in the PC Pro Excellence Awards, so please take five minutes to share your views. It could be the difference between an award winner or not...
Please take a few minutes to take our survey.
Readers' poll: this month, we'd like to know which streaming music service you use, if any. Are you happy with it, despite all the price rises? And if you've set up your own personal music server, we'd love to know how that's worked out for you....
The new issue goes on sale this Thursday... and we've called it the Summer 2023 edition. Why? To finally bring our stated cover dates more in line with the actual date.
For example, issue 350 (the one after this) will be called the October 2023 issue. It will be on sale from Thursday 7 September to Wednesday 4 October, so technically it's *only just* the October issue - but much better than it being called the November 2023 edition.
And subscribers wondering why their cover doesn't look like the image here - that's because you've got a unique cover this month.
Hopefully that all makes sense! - Tim Danton
Readers' poll! Do you think your next phone will be a flip phone, a foldable phone or the usual? Let us know in the comments below, complete with any thoughts (suitable for publication, please!).

This month's readers' poll is about password managers. Do you pay for one, use a freebie, rely on your browser or none of the above? Let us know any other thoughts you might have in the comments, and you might just see those appear in PC Pro magazine (edited for length!).
Our apologies for a mistake in this month's magazine. Our review of a Wired2Fire PC (see page 52) had the wrong price of £668 inc VAT when it should have been £949 inc VAT. Sorry to anyone left disappointed by this big discrepancy.
Quick poll: If you could work 20% faster, would you rather a) be paid 20% more b) work a four-day week?
Feel free to leave any other comments in the reply too - this is for the readers' poll in the magazine!
We're writing a feature about how to work faster. There's plenty about AI (although do let us know if you're already using it to enhance your workflow), but we're also interested in the little things you do to speed up work in, say, Word or Outlook, or any other productivity tool...
Time for our monthly poll! Do you still use Microsoft Office? If so, which version (Microsoft 365, an old desktop version or Office Online) and why? And if not, let us know why as well please!
Monthly poll time: How much would you pay per month for a do-it-all AI assistant?
And what do you think you would find it most useful for?
