Xbox may not fully commit to a larger exclusive games strategy unless its overall business improves, according to recent comments from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma.

Lian Li used Computex 2026 to reveal a broad new case lineup, led by the LANCOOL 4, a case designed to solve one of the most common problems with front glass panels: poor airflow.

Nvidia’s upcoming Vera Rubin AI systems could become even more expensive than earlier estimates suggested, as rising HBM4 memory prices threaten to push full rack costs sharply higher. A new analyst estimate suggests that a Vera Rubin NVL72 rack could cost around $9.1 million, mainly because next generation high bandwidth memory may become far more expensive when the platform ships in volume. The warning

DeepCool used Computex 2026 to show a wide range of new CPU cooling products, including a curved screen 360mm AIO, a flagship Assassin V Vision air cooler with a built in display, a low profile vapor chamber cooler, and a cleaner mid range tower cooler for minimalist builds. The lineup shows how PC cooling is moving in two directions at once. On one side,

Origin Code has shown off new high performance DDR5 memory designs at Computex, including high capacity 4 rank CUDIMM modules, low latency EXPO kits for AMD systems, and a liquid cooled memory setup with real time temperature monitoring.

DDR5 memory prices may not return to normal until 2028, according to comments attributed to AMD executive David McAfee. The warning points to a longer than expected memory crunch as AI demand continues to absorb supply that would normally help keep consumer PC prices under control.

JPMorgan is pushing back on claims that Intel has secured a major manufacturing order for Google’s custom AI chips, arguing that the reported deal may be far less significant than it first appeared. The bank says the situation looks more like a packaging partnership than a full chipmaking win for Intel Foundry. The debate started after a report claimed Google had placed an order

Microsoft Edge has removed its Master Password feature, meaning saved passwords and autofill data are now protected through Windows Hello instead. The change took effect on June 4, 2026, and it marks another step in Microsoft’s wider move toward passwordless security. The Master Password, also known as Custom Primary Password, gave Edge users an extra password that had to be entered before the browser

Nvidia’s RTX Spark and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Elite are shaping up to be two very different answers to the same question: what kind of chip should power the next wave of AI focused Windows PCs?

Google is preparing to fully close the door on Manifest V2 extensions in Chrome, which means the remaining workaround for running the original uBlock Origin is almost gone. Once the change reaches stable Chrome builds, older extensions built on Manifest V2 will be blocked more completely, and popular tools that still depend on that older system will no longer work in the browser without

Microsoft is once again moving forward with automatic Microsoft 365 Copilot installations after pausing the rollout earlier this year. The company now plans to complete the forced deployment for Microsoft 365 users by July 1, although IT administrators can opt out and stop devices in their tenant from receiving the app automatically. The move comes after months of criticism over how aggressively Microsoft has

ChatGPT now has a Lockdown Mode designed to reduce the risk of prompt injection attacks, especially when the chatbot interacts with web pages, external tools, images, files, or other outside content. The feature limits some network connected capabilities so malicious hidden instructions have fewer ways to influence ChatGPT or extract sensitive information. Prompt injection is one of the biggest security problems facing AI assistants.

Anthropic has made Claude Fable 5 available to the public, giving paid Claude subscribers access to a powerful new AI model based on the company’s Mythos class system.

Claude Fable 5 is now available through

Ayaneo’s Pocket Play is a new Android gaming handheld that combines the look of an old sliding phone with modern mobile gaming hardware. Instead of following the usual flat smartphone design, the device uses a sliding 6.8 inch OLED screen that moves to reveal physical controls underneath, including a D pad, buttons, and touchpads. That design makes the Pocket Play stand out immediately. Most

The Geekom A6 mini PC is now available for $479 at Amazon with a promo code, making it a strong early deal for anyone who wants a compact Windows PC for work, everyday tasks, and light gaming.

Dell’s 2026 XPS 13 is shaping up to be a stronger MacBook Neo rival than expected, especially for students and Windows buyers who want a thin premium laptop without giving up basic everyday features. Apple’s MacBook Neo starts at $599 for all buyers, but Dell is matching that price for students and offering several hardware advantages that the Neo does not include. The new

Microsoft’s regular Surface Laptop could become a much stronger premium PC if it borrowed a few practical ideas from the Surface Laptop Ultra. The Ultra model is clearly not built for everyday buyers, but some of its more useful design choices could improve the standard Surface Laptop without turning it into an expensive workstation class device. The Surface Laptop Ultra pushes the Surface lineup
