Synology had plenty to show at Computex 2026 in Taipei, unveiling a broad range of new products and software updates focused on AI, private cloud, data protection, and surveillance, but while many focused on AI, Synology focused on keeping users data private and under control with all those AI enhancements. The biggest update is the next generation of DSM, Synology's operating system that powers its NAS systems. The company is leaning heavily into AI features, adding smarter automation tools, AI-assisted workflows, and improved management for both businesses and larger deployments. Since the company is focusing on data security, those same AI features are meant to be run locally instead of relying entirely on cloud services.

Synology also showcased updates to its ActiveProtect platform, including ActiveProtect Manager 2.0 and the new DP5200, which promises further flexibility for deployment. The updated platform now supports more cloud and virtualization services while also adding AI-powered threat and anomaly detection. The company is obviously focusing on enterprise backup and cybersecurity due to raising AI-related security issues. On the surveillance side, which also fell victim to AI, Synology introduced new cameras, access control products, and updated DVA systems with smarter AI-powered search and tracking capabilities. The company also previewed Surveillance365, a hybrid cloud surveillance platform aimed at easier remote and multi-site monitoring.

In addition to the new FZR-series air coolers that introduced a digital dot matrix display, Cougar also unveiled its new AIO cooler, the LQX Pro 360 and the LQX Elite 360, both now featuring new VRX PWM fans.

The Cougar LQX Pro 360 AIO cooler gets a 3.95-inch TFT 60 Hz LCD screen with 720×720 resolution as well as an ARGB backlight on both the fan and the screen, giving it a rather unique look. Cougar also included an integrated VRM fan below the screen, which should further eliminate cooling blind spots as well as side vent channels on the pump head. As said, the new LQX Pro 360 uses the new VRX PWM fans with an annular blade design, which promise both high-efficiency and low-noise. In addition, Cougar also brought the LQX Elite 360, which uses the same design but replaces the screen with a large ARGB panel with a matte finish and lacks the integrated VRM fan. On the other hand, it features the same VRX fans.

Thermal Grizzly definitely had a lot to show at the Computex 2026 show in Taipei, and it even brought a few new versions of the WireView, a device that measures power consumption of graphics cards, and while the currently available WireView Pro II is a beast that not only measures voltage, power, temperature, and current from the entire 12V-2x6 connector, but from each individual pin as well, the company thinks there is still room for additional improvement and new versions. At the show, the company teamed up with Noctua, bringing a new version of the WireView Pro II, as well as announcing the new, more compact version called the WireView II.

The WireView Pro II Noctua Edition will have all the features and functions of the original WireView Pro II but use a different CNC-machined aluminium case with a Noctua-optimized fan grill that should improve airflow-to-noise performance, as well as use Noctua's frameless NF-A4x10 PWM fan with semi-passive cooling mode. Thermal Grizzly also showcased the new WireView II, a more compact version with slim CNC/machined aluminium housing and built on the same platform as the WireView Pro II. It will retain all the functionality of the WireView Pro II platform but lack the display.

Minix brought several new Mini-PCs and a couple of new portable monitors to the Computex 2026 show. Minix is covering almost every market segment with its Mini-PCs, and some upcoming designs are quite interesting. In addition, the company showcased several of its own portable monitors, including a 10-inch one.

Minix had an extensive lineup of Mini-PCs at the show, including the two new and upcoming Mini-PCs based on AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, the ER939-AI Pro and the ER939-AI Ultra. Both are branded as AI Mini Workstations and are practically the same hardware but packed in a completely different chassis design. The ER939-AI Pro is your standard Mini-PC packed in a white box with a rather neat leather handle at the top, while the ER939-AI Ultra uses a bolder design and even incorporates an LCD screen at the top of the case. Both offer up to 126 TOPS of overall AI performance, have all the usual connectivity and dual 10 Gb Ethernet, and can be equipped with up to 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory and up to 8 TB of NVMe SSD storage. Bear in mind that the ER939-AI Ultra is still in its early stages, so we might see some changes in the design, but, hopefully, they will keep the LCD screen.

The star of the show is the new HALOX AIO CPU cooler with support for Intel's latest LGA 1851 and AMD AM5 CPUs, a copper cold plate, and a hefty 27 mm-thick 360 mm or 240 mm radiator. It uses hydraulic bearing 120 mm fans, spinning between 600 and 2,600 RPM and producing up to 82.9 CFM of airflow and up to 40.7 dBA of noise. What makes the HALOX special is the hollow pump block that gives it a certain depth. Such open construction allows the RGB to be inside the structure of the pump block, giving it a nice visual effect.

Einarex is definitely expanding its product lineup, and while we had a couple of their cases on review last year, the company is making a big push, showing several new PC cases at the Computex 2026 show, including the new Zenith Z600.

The Zenith Z600 is a mid-tower PC case that has a panoramic view with a front and side tempered glass panel and a dual-chamber layout. It supports up to a standard ATX motherboard, 420 mm long graphics cards, up to 182 mm tall CPU cooler, 360 mm radiator, or up to a total of eight 120 mm fans. According to Einarex, the entire design, every angle and contour, is there for thermal advantage, including a forward-angled front panel and sculpted PSU shroud. Even the completely assembled system showcased at the flow shows a clean, clutter-free build.

Thermal Grizzly had a lot to show at the Computex 2026 show in Taipei, including a couple of new DeltaMate products, like the matching DeltaMate CPU water blocks for Intel LGA 1851 and AMD AM5 platforms, new DeltaMate GPU block models, and its first DeltaMate Purrformante Series fans.

Due to the success of its DeltaMate GPU blocks, Thermal Grizzly is introducing matching CPU water blocks for Intel LGA 1851 and AMD AM5 platforms.

These will be available in Q3 and Q4 this year.

Nitro Concepts, a company that specializes in sim racing setups as well as gaming chairs and desks, has brought its full IMMERSION sim racing lineup to the Computex 2026 show, including the one that actually blows air into your setup to simulate speed and the new IMMERSION Track kit.

In addition to the IMMERSION LED Box, which provides real-time telemetry lighting and can drive two LED strips, or the IMMERSION Wind Box that powers two fans that can both cool you and let you feel the speed, the company also showcased the new IMMERSION Track, which includes IMMERSION Amp, IMMERSION Bump, and the new IMMERSION Metahaptics EVO devices. The Amp is an 8-channel sound card with an amp (up to 50 W RMSP per channel) that should further "immerse" you with the sounds from the game, while the Bump is actually four corner shakers that should give you a further feel of the road. The IMMERSION Metahaptics EVO is a multi-zone seat feedback that provides full-body haptic feedback and lets you feel every bump, turn, and acceleration.

Ducky is one of the companies we gladly stop by during any show, and its Computex 2026 lineup certainly does not disappoint with the new Cushion 98. The Cushion 98 was already showcased as a prototype back at the CES 2026 show, and it is definitely the star of the Computex 2026 show as well, as it will also be available as a Year of the Horse Edition, which is a part of Ducky's Year of the Zodiac series. In addition to the new Cushion 98, Ducky also showcased the new OK-HE series and the OK-M series keyboards, as well as several themed keycaps and mousepads.

As said, the star of Ducky's lineup is the new Cushion 98, which promises to bring "a new standard of typing comfort" and is tuned to be a work or gaming keyboard. As the name suggests, this is a 980-size keyboard, designed for quick tool-free tuning with an easily removable aluminium top case, and supports wired and wireless connectivity (BT and 2.4 GHz). It uses Ducky's new Nest Mount, which should bring a more uniform keystroke feel compared to the standard gasket mount and have two cushioning layers depending on how much "softness" you prefer from a keyboard. Of course, it has hot-swappable Ducky Shush switches, with "south-facing RGB" for a more uniform backlight, which works really well on the Year of the Horse Edition version.

While the new Aura gaming chair was officially unveiled just a few days before the Computex 2026 show, this was the perfect venue to show it off and for us to check it out. The new Aura gaming chair is slightly different from the usual design concept from noblechairs, and while earlier models were definitely performance-oriented gaming chairs, the new Aura combines both performance and refinement and could find its place at both the high-end gaming desk and in a modern office.

To be available in both fabric and AtmoShell hybrid leather (which is basically faux leather manufactured in Germany and formerly known as Black Edition), the Aura gaming chair has all the usual quality and ergonomics you expect from noblechairs, including the well-known Synchro Tilt Mechanism, where both the seat and the backrest move together, adjustable seat depth, as well as a four-way lumbar support with height and depth adjustments. The Aura takes the ergonomics a bit further, as it adds a 4D Armrest Pro with height, depth, angle, and width adjustment and a swappable option for armrest pads for a firmer or softer feel, as well as an adjustable headrest design, which we are quite sure we did not see on noblechairs chairs before.

Cougar came in force to the Computex 2026 show in Taipei, unveiling a bunch of new PC cases, AIO liquid and air coolers, and fans, as well as a whole new NU-series of PC cases and WS-series power supply units, both aimed at AI workstations.

Both the NU 700 and the NU 500 have support for ATX, CEB, E-ATX, and SSI-EEB motherboards, have multi-GPU support with up to 8 slots on the NU 700 and up to 7 slots on the NU 500. The larger NU 700 is a full tower PC case and has support for two CRPS PSUs, can fit a 480 mm long graphics cards, and a 420 mm radiator at the top and up to 360 mm one at the front. It also supports up to seven fans, with three 120 mm or two 140 mm fans at the front, three 120/140 mm at the top, and a single 120/140 mm at the back. The NU 500 is a slightly smaller mid-tower version, but it still supports the same motherboard form factors. It supports graphics cards up to 380 mm long and can house only four fans, with three 120 mm or two 140 mm at the front and a single 120 mm at the back. It also can accommodate up to a 360 mm radiator at the front and lacks support for two PSUs but still has the same workstation-class design.

MSI is currently showcasing these features on two graphics cards, the RTX 5090 SUPRIM Safeguard, that uses both the new server-grade eFUSE that adds another layer of short-circuit protection with fast response of around 200 ns, and also being resettable and reusable thanks to its internal gate-based reset mechanism, as well as all the MSI Safeguard features and software, like the smart 12 V power connector detection, real-time current monitoring, and several warning alerts.

Software developers are some of the most ambitious makers we serve. They push devices harder, ask more of their tools and expect their environment to help define the pace of modern software creation. Development today means longer running jobs, larger models and a growing need to prototype and iterate locally rather than paying for every cloud call. That is why we embarked on a project to build two new Surface devices designed specifically for the needs of these makers.

Earlier this week, we introduced Surface Laptop Ultra, a high-performance laptop built for developers, creators and technical professionals who need serious performance wherever they work. Today at Microsoft Build, we are introducing Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, a compact developer PC engineered with NVIDIA RTX Spark superchip and built on the Windows developer platform, designed for local-first AI development. Surface RTX Spark Dev Box is for developers who want to prototype, fine-tune and run capable models on their desk, and reach for the cloud when the work calls for it. Together, Surface Laptop Ultra and Surface RTX Spark Dev Box represent the next step for Surface: purpose-built devices for the people building what's next.
