Modern AI hardware is pushing power and weight limits to the breaking point. ASUS's latest R&D lab reveals the extreme measures required to cool Nvidia's Blackwell and Vera Rubin architectures, involving 1.3 megawatt chillers and custom liquid-cooled nodes that draw 8,000 watts each. See why the next generation of data centers might need reinforced floors just to stay standing.
Nvidia's new RTX Spark superchip is a direct challenge to Apple's dominance in the high-end laptop market, boasting 128GB of unified memory and local AI capabilities. But while the specs look unbeatable on paper, Nvidia's silence on raw CPU performance and power-draw math suggests there might be a compromise hiding behind the marketing hype.
Asus is finally bringing a high-end OLED to its handheld lineup with the ROG Ally X20, boasting a massive 1,400-nit peak brightness. While the internals remain familiar, a radical PCB redesign and a unique rotating D-pad suggest this is far more than a simple mid-cycle refresh.
Spending thousands on a GPU while gaming on a $50 marketplace monitor is the tech world's most common sin. Linus Sebastian investigates the desk setups of his own staff to find the most neglected displays, uncovering ancient TN panels and 60Hz relics. See which employee walks away with a 4K 240Hz OLED upgrade and why your current monitor might be holding your hardware hostage.
What happens when you swap your natural vision for a third-person camera feed? A daring experiment reveals how microLED glasses can simulate an out-of-body experience, but the technical trade-offs in battery life and input lag prove that spatial computing still has a steep hill to climb.
