Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED (2023) review: lighter than Air

If you’re looking for a Windows-based alternative to Apple’s MacBook Air, the Zenbook S 13 is what you want. It’s even thinner and lighter than last year’s version, too.

Asus says the ROG Ally handheld will be ‘below $1,000.’

Asus’ upcoming ROG Ally handheld gaming PC is powered by AMD’s new Z1 Extreme chip. It’s powerful and can deliver 8.6 teraflops of performance, which is closer to a PS5 (10.28 teraflops) than the Steam Deck (1.6 teraflops). But what about the price? In an interview with PC Gamer, Asus says the ROG Ally will be “below $1,000.” We’ll know a lot more on May 11th, but check out our hands-on until then.

The Asus ROG Ally handheld is real and aimed directly at the Steam Deck.

After an odd April Fools’ Day tease, Asus confirmed the ROG Ally is coming out someday. Dave2D got hands-on time with a prototype and reports it will be a global release, but with no word on the battery or price.

But the most important element is the custom-designed AMD Ryzen APU inside, which is a major strength of Valve’s Steam Deck that other portable PC gaming machines haven’t been able to match until now.

Y’all, this laptop is too much

Asus’s ROG Flow Z13, a collaboration with Acronym, has hit shelves, and I don’t even know where to begin with this one. Just take a look for yourself.

March is back-to-school-season, apparently.

Bett UK, one of the world’s biggest EdTech conferences, begins tomorrow, and you can expect all kinds of announcements related to students, student laptops, student gadgets, and student everything.

Asus is kicking us off with a new BR1402 series — rugged student laptops with replacable mainboards, webcam shutters, AI-powered noise cancelation, and military-grade certification. Because who doesn’t want to bring their 2-in-1 laptop to war?

Take that, enemies.
