Latest AR glasses from Xreal and Viture enhance gaming experiences with features like 3DoF, but no model is perfect for all users.
Following the acquisition, the Cinemersive Labs team will join SIE's Visual Computing Group (VCG) and contribute to our broader efforts in advancing state of the art visual computing within games. This includes applying machine learning to enhance gameplay visuals, improve rendering techniques, and unlock new levels of visual fidelity for players.
gamers are probably going to feel left out since Nvidia seems to have decided renting cloud rigs to them is better than selling consumer hardware, small companies looking for AI chip compromises will be excited, and agentic AI is gonna be so hot that our Mann on the ground this week in San Jose isn't gonna need a jacket.
Arm Holdings is poised to make a big splash in the chip game, perhaps a bigger one than initially expected, with $15 billion in annual revenue from the new chip currently being projected through 2031.
The 2.9-pound Prestige 14 Flip AI+ looks a little bit like everything: there's MacBook resemblance to be sure (what laptop on the market hasn't taken inspiration from Cupertino?) but you might also mistake it for a Lenovo Yoga, with the rounded edges and dual hinge design. The Flip 14 AI+ is the 2-in-1 convertible model, with a touchscreen OLED display and space for a stylus built into the bottom of the chassis that snaps firmly (!) in place.
The new Prestige AI+ series is the brand's flagship ultraportable line, available in a 13-,14-, and 16-inch clamshell or 2-in-1 convertible in the latter two sizes. They feature the new Intel Core Ultra Series 3 "Panther Lake" processors, have standard OLED displays, and showcase MSI's take on the pro-minded ultraportable with minimalist forms.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang delivered an expectedly lengthy presentation at CES, taking a victory lap for the company's AI-driven successes, setting the stage for 2026, and yes, hanging out with some robots. The Rubin computing architecture, which has been developed to meet the increasing computation demands that AI adoption creates, is set to begin replacing Blackwell architecture in the second half of this year.
Lenovo has brought a slew of updates to its Legion and LOQ line of gaming laptops for CES 2026. The refreshed laptops are all built around Nvidia RTX 50-series GPUs. The new Legion 7a is both thinner and lighter than the previous generation and is aimed at gamers, creators, and working professionals. Lenovo says the new 7a will be powered by AMD Ryzen AI 400 CPUs and RTX 50-series GPUs, delivering up to 125W of total system power.
In my opinion, the biggest issue with gaming laptops is their high barrier to entry. They're expensive, with many costing several thousand dollars. It makes sense, though, since you're (usually) packing top-tier hardware, a high-quality display, and a robust cooling system into a compact machine.
Like all nice things, the best gaming PCs on the market can cost a pretty penny, but that's not the case today. Amazon just dropped the 2025 ASUS TUF T500 PC by 11% which brings its $900 price to $800 - an impressive $100 discount. There are no complicated coupon codes to enter or long checkout steps to worry about, either. Just add the PC to your cart, and the discount applies automatically.
They won't have an Nvidia graphics chip next to an Intel CPU, but rather an Nvidia N1 system-on-chip at the helm - and overnight, a Lenovo leak revealed that the company has built six laptops on the upcoming N1 and N1X processors, including a 15-inch gaming machine. Dataminer Huang514613 posted those names to X, including 14 and 16-inch models of the Ideapad Slim 5, two variants of the 15-inch Yoga Pro 7, and a Yoga 9 transforming 2-in-1.
