    Is this the smallest eGPU yet? Depends how you measure.

    The $800 OneXGPU Lite is tiny and versatile with both OCuLink and 80Gbps USB 4 v2 (which should work with Thunderbolt 5 machines too). Its older AMD 7600M XT won’t beat the pricier Asus XG Mobile, though, which has an internal power supply — while the OneXGPU requires a big external brick.

    The budget handheld wars are heating up.

    Ayaneo, whose svelte Windows handhelds can easily cost $1,000, will sell an $90 retro handheld that looks pretty good this October, with a 4:3 screen and GameCube-level gaming chops. Take that, Anbernic? At the same time, Anbernic is going unusually upscale for once with the $165-$180 RG476H.

    Now that both Pixels and iPhones have magnets, here’s my favorite new accessory:

    a double-sided magnetic ring grip and stand I don’t have to remove when I use MagSafe car mounts. Or those double magnet rings I introduced you to before, which now serve as stands in my house. It’s from Syncwire, and it ranges from $17-$25 on Amazon. Sound on if you want to hear the satisfying ratcheting swivel!

    Nvidia claims Trump had nothing to do with its $5B investment in Intel.

    “What sort of involvement did the Trump Administration have in this agreement?” asked the FT’s Michael Acton on the call. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang:

    The Trump Administration had no involvement in the partnership at all, and they would have been very supportive, of course. And today I had the opportunity to tell Secretary Lutnick, and he was very excited, very supportive of seeing American technology companies working together.

    Apparently Nvidia’s CEO enjoyed drinking cognac with King Charles III.

    I’m on the call where Nvidia and Intel are explaining their $5B deal, but the call began with a hot mic:

    His majesty was delightful. The cognac was excellent, but just not enough of it. I guess the cognac was from 1912.
