Is This What The Future Of Computing Looks Like?

01 IN THE AGE OF SOFTWARE AND AI, ARE MEGA TECH EVENTS LIKE CES STILL RELEVANT?

02 TITAN ON A DIET • Like many companies, Secretlab has faced supply chain challenges due to the pandemic. This has impacted their pricing structure, particularly for the Titan Evo chairs.

03 SUPERSIZED HANDHELD GAMING

04 SPEED UP, PRICE DOWN • The GeForce RTX 4080 raised eyebrows for its price tag that was closer to the RTX 4090, but a performance closer to the RTX 4070 Ti.

05 BETTER, PRICIER • I had high hopes for the Iskur V2 gaming chair, which Razer says has been armed with significant enhancements over the original Iskur (launched late 2020).

06 DUAL SCREEN, PERFECTED? • For notebooks, the most common trade-off is between display size and portability. ASUS, however, appears to have broken this immutable rule with the Zenbook Duo UX8406.

07 ULTIMATE FLAGSHIP • The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, a device that promises to redefine the premium smartphone experience.

08 Take Even Better Photos With The iPhone 15 Pro And 15 Pro Max • We already covered the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro Max’s photography capabilities rather extensively in our review, but the general idea is that Apple has done a great job improving the software side and offering better sharpness, detail and a new 5x telephoto zoom lens on the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

09 WHAT IS VESA CLEARMR? AND WHY YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT IT • Imagine you’re shopping for a new PC monitor or TV, and you’re curious about how it will handle fast-moving visuals. You might look at specifications such as response time and refresh rate to gauge the display’s speed. However, these figures don’t directly answer the critical question: “How much motion blur will be noticeable?” To address this gap, the Video Electronics Standards Association (aka VESA), also responsible for developing display standards like DisplayPort and Adaptive-Sync, has recently launched a new specification program. This initiative aims to quantify displays’ motion blur performance in a more simplified manner for consumers.
