Asus has a new Zenbook 14 announced at Computex 2026 with the kind of color range most AI laptops still avoid. Arctic Blue, Komodo Coral, and Zabriskie Beige give this 14-inch ultraportable a livelier hook than another argument about neural processors. The refreshed Zenbook 14 wraps those finishes around a 1.1kg Ceraluminum and metal chassis. It also checks the premium laptop boxes, with Copilot+ PC support, OLED display options, and processor choices spanning Intel, AMD, and Snapdragon. For a MacBook Neo rival, though, one unanswered detail matters most, price. Why do the colors stand out Most AI PCs still look…

Cherry XTRFY announced the K63W Pro Compact at Computex 2026, and the standout feature is one you don’t often see in gaming keyboards: Ultra-Wideband technology. With a true 8000 Hz polling rate, this compact keyboard is positioning itself as a serious wireless option for gamers who don’t want to compromise on performance. What is Ultra-Wideband doing in a keyboard? Traditional wireless keyboards operate in narrow frequency bands, which is where interference creeps in and causes problems. Ultra-Wideband takes a different approach, transmitting data in short bursts across a much wider frequency spectrum. Cherry XTRFY claims this results in more precise…

Toyota and Lexus may have just shelved one of the most exciting electric vehicle concepts shown in recent years. According to reports from Automotive News and Nikkei Asia, Toyota has halted development of the next-generation Lexus EV that was expected to be based on the futuristic LF-ZC concept. For EV enthusiasts and Lexus fans, the news is particularly disappointing because the LF-ZC represented one of the clearest signs that Lexus was finally preparing to make a serious leap into the premium electric future. One of Lexus’ most ambitious EV projects has reportedly been paused The Lexus LF-ZC concept was first…

Alienware has four new screens coming out of Computex 2026, and the lineup cuts across almost every tier that serious PC gamers care about. Its latest Alienware gaming monitors put brighter OLED, faster ultrawide refresh rates, and $299.99 240Hz QHD gaming into one launch window. The range includes a 39-inch 5K OLED flagship, a 34-inch 280Hz QD-OLED ultrawide, and two 240Hz QHD LCD options at 32 inches and 34 inches. That spread gives Alienware a high-end halo product while pushing fast QHD screens closer to mainstream upgrade territory. The Alienware 39 5K OLED Gaming Monitor, AW3926QW, is the flashiest entry.…

For years, tech companies have tried making AI assistants sound warmer, friendlier, and more emotionally human. But new research suggests that approach may actually backfire more often than companies expect. A recent study highlighted by Tech Xplore found that people generally prefer AI chatbots whose personalities mirror their own communication style rather than assistants that act excessively cheerful or overly friendly all the time. According to the findings by the Northeastern researchers challenge one of the biggest assumptions driving modern AI development is that making chatbots more emotionally expressive automatically improves user experience. People prefer AI that feels familiar, not…

The Radeon RX 9070 GRE has now launched globally at Computex 2026. AMD first introduced the RDNA 4-based GPU in China in May 2025, so this is a wider rollout rather than a brand-new graphics card. It will be available from board partners starting June 2, in reference and overclocked versions, with a suggested retail price of $549. AMD is aiming this at 1440p gamers The RX 9070 GRE comes with 48 RDNA 4 compute units, 48 ray accelerators, 96 AI accelerators, and 3,072 stream processors. It has 12GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, with up to 432GB/s…

Wearables usually fall into one of two camps: devices that track your health or gadgets that bombard you with notifications. Acer’s new Aspire Badge is trying something different. Instead of monitoring your steps or mirroring your phone, it’s essentially a tiny digital billboard you can wear — and it comes with a few surprisingly practical safety tricks. Unveiled as part of Acer’s latest product lineup, the Aspire Badge is aimed squarely at students, kids, and young creators who want a new way to express themselves. Think of it as a modern evolution of the pins, badges, and stickers that people…

The battle for premium TV buyers has largely revolved around two technologies in recent years: OLED and Mini LED. OLED has earned a reputation for delivering exceptional contrast and viewing angles, while Mini LED has pushed brightness levels to new heights. The tradeoff has often been deciding which compromise makes more sense for your room and viewing habits. Sony believes that conversation may be about to change. During a private media briefing in New York City, the company unveiled a new display technology called True RGB, which rethinks how a TV backlight works and aims to combine some of the…

Google has been unusually quiet about its Gemini-powered Home Speaker ever since announcing it in October 2025. I was expecting the device to make an appearance at the I/O 2026, but that didn’t happen either.  Now, a product page on Best Buy Canada just casually posted (read leaked) a release date, suggesting the wait is almost over. What does the leak suggest? As per the Best Buy page, the Home Speaker might be released on June 25, 2026 (via 9To5Google). The page has since been updated, and the launch date has been removed, which is the kind of thing that usually…

Samsung Galaxy phones have had a lockdown mode for years. It’s a manual option tucked inside the power menu that disables fingerprint and face unlock and forces a PIN entry.  It is a useful last resort for situations where someone might force you to unlock your phone with your face or finger. The problem was that most people either didn’t know it existed or never used it in the first place. One UI 9 fixes that, and it does so by removing the choice entirely. What exactly changed in the power menu? Spotted by SammyFans and corroborated by members of…
