After weeks of rumors around another round of hikes, Asus and Gigabyte have pulled the plug. They’ve made the impending price hike official, increasing prices across their entire RTX 50 lineup, and even AMD’s Radeon RX 9000 cards.  It’s worth mentioning that both companies already raised prices in January, blaming the ongoing DRAM and NAND memory shortage and surging costs. From what it looks like, things have only gotten worse since.  How bad is the price hike? According to a VideoCardz report, the latest price hike affects the best Nvidia GPUs in the worst possible manner. The Nvidia GeForce RTX…

Google may finally be ready to launch its own answer to the AirTag, but it apparently won’t rely on a lower price to win over Android users. The Pixel Tag is expected to cost €34.90 in Europe, according to Dealabs. Apple charges €35 for a single AirTag in France, leaving Google with a price advantage of just 10 cents. The tracker could be announced during Google’s August 12 hardware event. That price puts the focus squarely on the product itself. Nobody is choosing a tracking ecosystem to save the equivalent of loose change. Google isn’t offering a real discount The…

UAE, August 5, 2026 –For years now, the Pura series has shown us what the cutting edge of mobile photography looks like. It was already incredibly good to the point that when the Pura 90s Pro Max was announced, the question was where could it go from there. What the HUAWEI Pura 90s Series did was unexpected by most. It took an already phenomenal telephoto camera and put in a main shooter-sized sensor. That too, an ultra-high-resolution 200MP sensor, arguably amongst the best in the industry. For a telephoto, having all of 200MP means more than just higher-resolution pictures. Rather,…

Huawei has made one of the most tempting ultralight laptops most people will probably never consider buying. The new MateBook Pro S weighs just 798 grams in its lightest configuration, making it around 35% lighter than the 13-inch MacBook Air. It is slightly thicker at 11.9mm, but Huawei still managed to fit a larger display and a 54Wh battery inside its magnesium-alloy chassis. Its color options are pure eye candy, too. The soft pastel finishes immediately reminded me of the MacBook Neo and give the laptop far more personality than the usual sea of silver, gray, and black ultrabooks. It…

Algocyte’s Proxima is designed to run blood-count tests from a small finger-prick sample and send the results to a clinician in about 20 minutes. For patients who need frequent monitoring, that could mean fewer trips to a clinic or laboratory. The device has also moved beyond the concept stage. Proxima carries UK conformity credentials, while Algocyte operates under a certified medical-device quality system. Those steps give the project more weight than a prototype shown at a launch event. What Proxima actually does Proxima is an ultra-portable hematology analyzer built around a small blood sample. Algocyte says it can measure markers…
