Asus is teasing a new Asus ROG dual-screen gaming laptop for CES 2026, with a set reveal time on January 5. The company’s ROG Global account posted a short video on X pointing to January 5 at 3 pm PT. It’s still just a teaser, so there’s no model name, no specs, and no pricing.

Asus is leaning into the second screen again The video sticks to quick, tight shots, but the framing suggests a main display…
Google’s Gemini may have sidelined Bixby on recent Galaxy smartphones, but Samsung hasn’t given up on its voice assistant yet. Instead, the company appears to have partnered with Perplexity to level up Bixby’s responses and offer users a more capable alternative to Gemini. We first caught wind of this partnership in July, when a report suggested that Samsung was exploring collaborations with companies like Perplexity and OpenAI to bring more AI features to Galaxy phones. At the time, a Samsung executive confirmed the company’s plans but did not share details on how such partnerships would benefit end users. However, a…

Humanoid robots have come on leaps and bounds in recent times, and much is expected of the advanced machines in the coming year. The process of training humanoid robots can take various forms. Unitree’s G1 robot for example, is trained partly through teleoperation whereby a human operator wears a motion-capture suit or uses controllers to perform particular movements or entire tasks, with the robot mirroring the movements in real time. The process generates data that feeds into imitation learning algorithms, providing the robot with new autonomous skills. Additional reinforcement learning hones the model to make the movements smoother and more…

Asus might be looking into some pretty extreme measures to deal with the global memory shortage that’s currently making laptops more expensive. While the company has officially denied any plans to start its own RAM production line, the rumor mill is spinning with talk that the Taiwanese giant could still consider manufacturing its own DRAM as early as 2026. The goal? To finally stop being at the mercy of the big three memory suppliers. The root of the problem is a massive shift in how the world’s biggest memory makers – Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix – are spending their…
The clock is ticking down on 2026, but for smartphone enthusiasts, it’s ending on a bittersweet note. Apple delivered one of its strongest entry-point phones in the year with the iPhone 17, while the iPhone 17 Pro marked the biggest upgrade we’ve seen on a flagship from the brand in years. Google’s Pixel 10 did one better, while the Pixel 10 Pro emerged as the most refined AI-first phone out there. Samsung knocked it out of the park with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and even supersized the foldable formula with the Galaxy Z TriFold. AI offered a clear sign…

The big news here is the move to an RGB stripe structure, where the red, green, and blue…
