If you've been looking for a mini PC that goes beyond just decluttering your desk β one that basically doesn't even remind you of its existence, then Arctic has got just the thing for you. The new Senza AI 370 features a powerful AMD chip with a decent iGPU, 32 GB of fast RAM, a 1 TB SSD, and plenty of ports. It costs almost $1,400, though, but at least it's fanless.
Powerful laptops with impressive specs are often overpriced and only make sense when on sale. Thankfully, Acer has put its Helios Neo 16S AI with an RTX 5070 Ti, 32 GB of RAM, 240 Hz OLED display, and a Core Ultra 9 275HX processor on a steep discount. It's the best Windows laptop you can likely find at this price.

Taiwan imports almost all of its energy and requires large amounts of LNG to sustain its electrical grid. That grid is then used by local chipmakers β like TSMC who is responsible for making most of the world's high-end chips. Fabrication for these chips requires helium, which Taiwan also imports and right now, the Iran-U.S. conflict has made it difficult to acquire both.

A single-fan RTX 4070 Ti Super had been in the works at Zephyr, a Chinese vendor, for a while, and it was close to completion, with even thermal testing data publicly released. Unfortunately, the memory crisis has gotten to Zephyr as well, and it has cancelled the project, choosing to instead develop an RTX 4070 Super instead.
An RTX 5070 Ti with user-applied liquid metal died because the TIM leaked out everywhere and shorted multiple components, eventually killing the core as well. Despite being part of a "repair" video, there's nothing really here to fix, as most of the important ICs would need to be replaced or at least reballed.
Asus launched this motherboard at $310 in late 2024, and since then its MSRP has gone down to $280, but you can score it for 40% less than that on Amazon right now. For that price, nothing really comes close in terms of performance, features, and reliability.

A new LLVM patch has added V_FMA_F32, a 3-operand fused multiply-add (FMA instruction and introduced the VOPD3 instruction format for RDNA 5. Both of these changes should make it easier for compilers to use dual issue execution, working around the strict pairing rules that would otherwise limit max FP32 throughput in certain workloads.
DirectorFeng, an expert technician in China has just performed what is likely the first hardware mod of its kind on the new MacBook Neo. He has birthed the world's only MacBook Neo with a terabyte of storage by physically changing the NAND chip on the logic board. Whether this mod is worth the price given the Neo's target audience, well, that's for you to decide.
A motherboard that can accept both DDR4 and DDR5 memory can be the difference between you being able to build a new PC or putting it off till the shortage is over.

At GDC 2026, Nvidia held a presentation somehow aimed at gamers and not data center clients. Still, it was sprinkled with AI pat-on-the-backs, with the company touting that its future gaming GPUs will offer 1,000,000 better path tracing performance. And the current-gen Blackwell family is apparently already 100,000x better due to dedicated Tensor and RT cores.
As global oil prices spike due to the ongoing pseudo-blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, other shortages are looming, and they could hit the chip and AI industries dramatically.

The Creality Sermoon P1 is a standalone 3D scanner that allows users to go through the entire scanning workflow without having to touch a computer. The 22 crossed laser line mode is surprisingly fast, and the single laser line mode was able to scan deep holes during testing. The NIR (near-infrared) mode is capable of scanning without requiring any markers, and the on-device editing allows users to make on-location edits without needing to stop. The Sermoon P1 handled everything we threw at it, but the color texture was the only disappointing part of the testing.
