¡Hala Madrid! Real Madrid supporters finally have a Windows tablet to call their own

In May, Microsoft’s partnership with Spanish football team Real Madrid has spawned a dual-SIM version of the Lumia 535 with a slick-looking Real Madrid logo on the back cover. Now, the partnership has spawned a pretty decent Windows tablet.

Dubbed the Windows Tablet Edición Real Madrid, the tablet is powered by a quad-core Intel Atom Z3735F processor with 2GB of RAM. You’ll also find 32GB of expandable storage, as well as a 5-megapixel camera on the back and a 2-megapixel snapper on the front.

Speaking of the front, the 8.9-inch 1,920 x 1,200 IPS display should show Windows 8.1 off nicely, with a promised upgrade to Windows 10 when it lands sometime this summer. The more productive Real Madrid fans will be happy to know that the tablet comes with one year of Office 365. Finally, the 6,700mAh battery should keep the lights on for a good number of hours.

What makes the tablet specifically geared towards Real Madrid fans is the three designs you can pick from for the back cover: the club logo; the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, where the team plays its games; or a full-color photo of the team itself. In addition, you can have your name and a short saying engraved on the back, if you so choose.

If you’re interested in the Windows Tablet Edición Real Madrid, there is one huge caveat to consider: it’s only available for purchase in Spain. Buying the tablet itself will let you pick one of three designs and one of three phrases for the back cover. Stepping up to the Windows Tablet Edición Real Madrid Premium, however, lets you engrave your name while including a keyboard case. The tablet itself costs roughly $183, while the premium edition goes for about $229.

Microsoft’s Clippy finally lands on latest Windows 11 build as an emoji
Clippy returns to Windows 11 as an emoji.

Microsoft's iconic Clippy assistant for Office is making a big comeback on Windows 11, but in another form. Rather than bringing back Clippy as another digital assistant, the iconic character will instead replace the standard paperclip emoji in Microsoft's Windows 11 operating system. Clippy's return is part of Microsoft's latest November 2021 Windows 11 Insider preview build. Along with Clippy, there are also a number of new emojis that Microsoft is showing off.

The new emoji style that Microsoft is bringing to Windows 11 through this latest optional software update sports a 2D appearance compared to the 3D styles that were previously previewed. The company claims that the new emoji were created using its new Fluent design style, and its team of designers worked to make emoji scalable.
