Inside PCWorld’s June 2025 Issue

PCWorld’s June 2025 edition arrives with a mix of practical tech advice, buying guidance, and reporting on the forces shaping the hardware and software people use every day. The issue opens with news on how shifting U.S. tariffs are disrupting shipments from smaller gadget makers and major manufacturers alike, then turns to Microsoft’s smaller Surface Laptop and Surface Pro models and what buyers gain or give up with the new sizes.

From there, the magazine moves into reviews and hands-on guidance, including a feature on 13 essential Google Chrome features worth using and a roundup of 20 travel gadgets for trips and vacations. A separate cover line asks whether your phone is secretly listening to you, adding a timely privacy angle to the issue’s consumer-tech focus.
