    Asus launches new V16 and Vivobooks with last-gen Nvidia GPUs.

    Asus launched a new entry-level gaming laptop called the V16 as well as a grab bag of new Vivobooks. Many of them are configurable with a last-gen RTX 4050 GPU and now available in the US.

    The V16 starts at $949.99 for a 16-inch 144Hz display, Intel Arrow Lake chip, and older RTX 3050. Meanwhile, the Vivobooks come in various sizes and styles with AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm processor options.

    HP put the one feature every iMac should have into its new EliteStudio 8.

    HP’s EliteStudio 8 has a function every all-in-one PC needs: it doubles as a display for your laptop with keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) switch.

    Otherwise, it’s a pretty humdrum Intel Arrow Lake desktop. Though, in addition to continuing as a monitor once outdated, its webcam can photograph your background and modify it with generative AI. Time to add a bunch of Funko Pops and Gunpla to my virtual background.

    The DadStation Portal.

    Sony is just now giving its PlayStation Portal the fancy ad treatment, nearly a year and a half after its launch. Unsurprisingly, it’s aimed at families, by way of a busy dad. That tracks with Sony’s stats showing how the PS5 remote player is used.

    An ad push following the beta testing of cloud game streaming is likely another strong indicator that Sony’s single-purpose device has proved successful.

    Teaser and leaked images point to a super-X100 camera from Fujifilm.

    There are rumors that Fujifilm will expand its medium format camera offerings with a fixed-lens compact GFX1000RF, akin an X100VI with a much larger 100-megapixel sensor. Fujifilm teased a new camera in the video for its upcoming X Summit, and Fujirumors has posted two leaked images showing more.

    It would likely cost much more than the popular and still-scarce X100VI, possibly competing more with the $6,300 full-frame Leica Q3.
