E Ink and MediaTek have teamed up to bring something genuinely exciting to a product category that has seen a surge in popularity in recent years.

Gaming monitors have spent years chasing one goal: higher refresh rates. Asus just pushed that race into new territory with what it calls the world’s first OLED monitor built specifically for esports players. Unveiled under the ROG banner, the new Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace combines a compact 24.5-inch panel with a staggering 540Hz refresh rate, bringing OLED’s rich visuals to a category that has traditionally favored speed over image quality. But that’s not the only unusual display Asus announced. The company also introduced a color ePaper monitor designed for productivity, reading, and low-fatigue viewing. It’s an odd pairing on paper,…
Asus ROG Ally X gets a special makeover with an OLED panel and gold trims that don’t look gaudy
Limited edition gaming hardware has a long history of slapping a commemorative color or accents on existing hardware and calling it a day. The ROG Xbox Ally X20 bundle, announced at Computex 2026 to mark the 20th anniversary of ASUS’s ROG brand, does not make that mistake. The upgraded design alone makes it worth a closer look. What makes the Ally X20 different? The most immediately visible change is how the handheld looks. The X20 features a translucent black chassis, a callback to the semi-transparent designs of the early 2000s, with a golden structure visible underneath. The effect is striking…
Renaming files is one of those tasks that sounds trivial until you are staring at a folder full of documents or files called Document1, Scan_04182026, and FinalFINALv3. Microsoft is doing something about it. A new feature, called Copilot Suggested Rename, is on the Microsoft 365 roadmap. It is scheduled to roll out starting June 2026. The AI-powered OneDrive feature reads the content of your file and automatically recommends clear, descriptive file names, saving you time. How does Copilot Suggested Rename actually work? The feature is built directly into the rename dialog inside OneDrive (on web). When you go to rename…
Apple’s long-rumored foldable iPhone may have just taken another step closer to reality – or at least another step closer to the internet’s imagination. A newly leaked replica model, believed to represent Apple’s upcoming “iPhone Ultra” foldable device, is now circulating online, revealing what could be one of the company’s boldest design shifts in years. According to a report from Notebookcheck, the replica showcases a foldable phone with curved edges, a slim profile, and a surprisingly familiar design language that many users are already comparing to existing Android foldables. If the leak turns out to be accurate, Apple’s first foldable…
If you have ever typed a file name into Windows Search but stopped midway because you only remembered part of it, Microsoft has something for you. In its latest Windows 11 Insider Preview build, Microsoft has added a focused but genuinely useful improvement to the way Windows Search finds your files. It is one of those fixes that makes me wonder why it took so long. What is Search by Substring and why does it matter? Released on May 29 to both the Experimental and Beta channels, the new feature is called Search by Substring, and what it does is…
Nvidia just unveiled the RTX Spark, a new superchip that it says reinvents the Windows PC for the age of personal AI agents. The vision is to transform your laptop from a machine to an actual assistant who can do the work for you. Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, put it in plain terms: “For forty years, you launched apps. Click. Type. With RTX Spark and Microsoft Windows, you ask, and the PC does the work.” The RTX Spark combines a Blackwell GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and a 20-core Grace CPU, connected through Nvidia’s NVLink chip-to-chip interconnect.…
At Computex 2026, Dell came out all guns blazing. Ever since its inception, the XPS series has served as the pinnacle of Dell’s design and engineering innovation for laptops. Of course, they cost a pretty penny, too. After a brief sunsetting, the XPS line is back, and this time around, Dell is taking an extremely ambitious path. The latest from the computing giant is the XPS 13, and more than anything, it’s the $699 asking price of this sleek machine that is going to turn heads. What makes the XPS 13 special? Dell says it has a different definition for…
Apple’s long-delayed AI overhaul may finally be starting to take shape, and the company appears ready to push Siri far deeper into its ecosystem than before. According to a new report from Mark Gurman, Apple is developing a major Siri upgrade that will synchronize AI conversations across devices through iCloud, turning the assistant into a more persistent and connected AI system inside Apple’s tightly controlled ecosystem. The upcoming Siri redesign is reportedly being prepared as part of Apple’s broader iOS 27 and iOS 28 strategy, with the company positioning the assistant more directly against AI products like Google Gemini and…
NVIDIA’s upcoming N1-series processors may have been officially scheduled for a reveal, but a fresh leak appears to have spoiled the party a day early. New specifications shared by VideoCardz’s insider outline not only the flagship N1X chip but also several additional variants, suggesting Nvidia is preparing a much broader push into PC processors than previously expected. The headline-grabber is the N1X, which reportedly mirrors the configuration of Nvidia’s GB10 chip used in the DGX Spark AI system. But it’s the smaller, more affordable N1 models that could have the biggest impact if Nvidia intends to bring Arm-based processors to…
