    Would you buy a power supply that splits in two?

    Spotted at Computex 2026 by OC3D among others, the Thermaltake Dockpower makes power supplies even more modular — so you can theoretically upgrade to more power without unplugging and plugging all your cables, hopefully without introducing another common point of failure. $120 and up in Q3, in 750W, 850W, 1000W and 1200W flavors.

    Toying with MSI’s new Intel Arc G3 handheld.

    This one’s going to cost some serious cash, but it seems to finally be moving handheld chips forward! Intel handhelds went from an embarrassment to pretty good in a little over a year; at this rate, they might be the leader once RAMageddon is over.

    Ace Combat 8 release date: October 2nd.

    Ace Combat’s been a lovely mix of anime plot and dogfighting action for a long time now, and it looks like we’re getting even more of the former with installment eight. So many pretty cutscenes, where we generally get comparatively static exposition.

    That next-gen MSI Claw handheld apparently costs $1,700 now.

    Minutes after I published my story below, eagle-eyed commenter P_Devil pointed out the price is $200 more than journalists were told. $1,699.99 for an Intel Arc G3 Extreme with 32GB of RAM, according to Best Buy. Perhaps an unfortunate typo? The listing does say 144Hz when the screen is actually 120Hz… either way, it’s coming June 23rd.

    The Lego Game Boy that plays real carts is coming along beautifully.

    Today marks eight months since Lego’s Game Boy officially went on sale — and since Natalie The Nerd brought it to life the very same day with real Game Boy circuitry. Her drop-in kit still isn’t ready, but can you blame her when the result keeps getting better? Just watch:

    Adobe Premiere and Photoshop are optimized for Nvidia Spark laptops.

    Nvidia says it’s working with everyone to get software ready for RTX Spark laptops this fall, but as for Adobe, Premiere is getting a whole new video pipeline to take advantage of Spark’s up-to-128GB of unified memory, and Nvidia says Photoshop is “transitioning from 5 percent to 100 percent GPU accelerated processing.” Just ask AI agents to transform your images, too.

    The first confirmed Nvidia RTX Spark laptops.

    Nvidia tells us over 30 laptops and 10 desktops are currently in the works with its “most efficient PC chip ever built,” but today it’s only confirming these eight. Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI, and of course Microsoft are the primary partners for this fall’s launch. No prices or spec sheets for most of these yet.
