Let’s go through a list of features you should be using on your Windows 11 compatible device such as the Connex SwiftBook Pro GM3 and SL3.

1. Microsoft To-Do

Microsoft To-Do is a popular task management app, which is a to-do list application that can be synced with other devices. It helps you to keep up with your homework, assignments, and projects by providing you with a to-do list, reminders, and notifications.

The Microsoft To-Do app is an excellent tool to use because not only does it help you manage your tasks, but it can also remind you about upcoming deadlines. This way you can avoid missing deadlines and stay on top of your work.

2. Microsoft Edge

As one of the most secure web browsers ever created. Designed with students in mind. Microsoft Edge is a browser that was created to provide students with a safe and secure browsing experience. Unlike other browsers, Microsoft Edge does not store any information about the student, so their identity stays private.

The new reading mode reduces the distractions and simplifies the text on the page, so it is easier to focus on what you are reading. No more social media notifications or ads to distract you from what you are reading. The reading mode can be accessed from the menu by clicking on “Reading Mode” or by pressing Ctrl + Shift + R.
