Computex 2024 Though it’s nearly over, our talented computing team continues to do great work in Taiwan. This year’s biggest PC event continues to wow us all with one amazing computing product after another, and day 5 at the Nangang Exhibition Center did not disappoint in that regard.
yesterday Computex Day 4we couldn’t help but fall in love with the amazing custom-built desktop. fall out Ambiance, a nifty dual-screen laptop, the world’s first AI QD-OLED monitor, and of course, Skynet. teeth We’re finally starting to conquer the world. You better call Ernie.
As we reach the final day of Computex, we wish it could go on for another week, because the show is packed with all the amazing computing kit we’ve been dreaming about for months. Read on to find out more about NVIDIA’s latest AI breakthrough: a slightly wobbly headset. Apple Vision Pro And it’s truly historic, having successfully survived in space for 600 days.
Steady spread with Nvidia’s RTX
Team Green has had success with its AI features for some time, taking full advantage of the machine learning frame generation and FPS smoothing wonders of DLSS 3.5 on the latest RTX cards. Now it’s the turn of the GPU manufacturer’s latest breakthrough technology to take the spotlight: Enter ComfyUI, a lightning-fast image generator that uses a streamlined Stable Diffusion interface that’s further accelerated by Nvidia’s RTX GPU series.
Nvidia’s video above shows how easily the tech can generate professional-looking headshots, which is great for aspiring Hollywood A-listers looking to stay on top of their AI game: Nvidia claims that image generation is roughly seven times faster than state-of-the-art technology. Apple MacBook ProThis is certainly a nice boast, but speed aside, we’re clearly here to see ComfyUI come into its own. Jason England It’s a Green Lantern imitation.
MSI MEG Vision XAI
The beloved ruler of PC display technology Anthony Spadafora (actual title: Senior Editor) loves monitors. He seems to be obsessed with the MSI MEG Vision X AI, a flagship gaming desktop with a twist. The twist? The case comes with a 13.3″ touchscreen that doubles as a second monitor. Below, Ant walks you through this unique rig/display combo…
Pretty impressive, right? The fact that the MSI MEG Vision X AI, when it launches (later this year or early next year), will use the latest Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU tech to power the apps and on-screen video is also pretty impressive. While MSI’s quirky desktops are clearly aimed at a niche audience, it was PC products like this that made Computex the global sensation it is today.
Adata XPG NIA Gaming Handheld
Good luck, Adata. The company is entering one of the newest and most competitive segments in computing. Currently, handhelds are some of the best handhelds on the market. Valve is Steam Deck and Steam Deck OLEDbut it ROG AllyX He has the potential to become the new king.
Thankfully, the XPG NIA is a handheld with a few cool tricks up its sleeve. Not only does it have a tilting screen (which helps cool the little gaming device), but it’s also the first handheld PC that lets you upgrade both its RAM and storage. The NIA’s storage can be upgraded to 2GB, and the memory can be increased to 64GB.
Powered by AMD’s new Phoenix APU and featuring a front-facing camera with eye-tracking, it’s an ambitious first effort from Adata, and it also feels like it could have been designed by the late HR Giger, the legendary Swiss artist who created Xenomoprh, the lead character in the 1979 sci-fi classic “Alien.”
Asus Project Dali
Anthony’s been spreading the Computex love in earnest today, and he’s also obsessed with Asus’ Project Dali. The concept product lets you customize the back of your laptop case with either your own image or an AI-generated design. The best part is, this incredibly cool and totally unique feature doesn’t require any additional battery life to work.
Wow, that’s awesome! Ant is working on Project Dali (basically their amazing ROG Zephyrus 2024), and “This is one of the coolest laptops I’ve ever seen, because everyone can have a fully customizable laptop. It’s your laptop. No one will have the same design as you. And it’s not a case or a cover or a sticker… it’s there, it’s built in. You don’t have to do anything else.”
Well said, Ant.
ASUS P6300
The Asus P6300 is a legendary laptop, the only device in computing history to have received the official endorsement of Captain Kirk. It’s been 26 years since the P6300 was sent to the Mir Space Station, where astronauts used it on an incredible 600-day intergalactic mission.
When it comes to durability, Asus’ pioneering portable PC is a perfect match for the Duracell Bunny, and on the final day of Computex 2024, it’s great to see the P6300’s incredible achievement get the recognition it deserves.
Mdoor VR AppleCore AX162
And last but not least, the EmdoorVR AppleCore AX162. Wait a sec… no, don’t do that. And last but not least, the EmdoorVR AppleCore AX162. Jason has openly stated that his favorite part of attending Computex every year is getting to test all the cheap knock-offs, and without a doubt, this is the best one yet. Apple Vision Pro knockoffs.
We appreciate that Emdoor has priced the headset at just over $300, but even though you could save around $3,191 by opting for the AppleCore over the Vision Pro, you’ll still be disappointed.
Jason describes the build as “just cheap and shoddy,” and this embarrassing device is often exactly what you pay for. Jason also found the EmdoorVR’s combination of Android 8.1 running on a Qualcomm SXR1130 chipset to be downright confusing to use — the dictionary definition of “cheap” quality.
Still, to end this Computex Day 5 recap on a slightly more upbeat note, at least the EmdoorVR’s 1884 x 1920 LCD display is actually pretty good. But let’s be honest, we don’t think the folks at Cupertino are going to be having night terrors over this very compromised headset anytime soon.
