GPD looks like it has created one of the most interesting dual-screen laptops we’ve seen to date. The secondary display sits on top or folds over the regular one to then close flat into a tablet. It looks impressive in the GIF below, but the key will be weight and balance. We’re expecting to hear more about the GPU Duo at Computex next week.
We saw the video editor’s new feature demoed at Microsoft’s Surface event in Richmond, where new Copilot Plus Surface Laptops and an updated Surface Pro with Qualcomm’s AI-ready chips have been announced.
The demo suggests the CPU and GPU won’t have to break much of a sweat, if any, when offloading tasks like these.
Native Arm64 versions of Photoshop, Lightroom, Firefly, and Express are available starting today, Adobe announced at the Surface event going on in Richmond right now. Illustrator and Premiere Pro won’t be far behind with June arrivals.
New Copilot Plus laptops and tablets with the architecture will be able to run the apps as soon as they arrive.
Yes, in a few days, says German tech site WinFuture, citing unnamed sources (and Samsung’s site). That includes a 16-inch Galaxy Book 4 Edge Pro that’s equipped with the highest-end version of the Snapdragon X ARM chip that’s meant to take on Apple’s custom M-series chips.
Expect other Snapdragon X laptops soon, including from Microsoft, Dell, and Asus.
Microsoft’s big AI PC event is just days away, and we’re seeing more leaks of Arm-powered Windows PCs with Qualcomm’s new chips inside.
This post from WinFuture’s Roland Quandt shows that, like Dell and Lenovo, Asus’ plans include a version of the Vivobook S 15 OLED that’s ready to battle Apple’s M-series laptops.
Where the Blade comes ahead in performance, the Zephyrus wins on value.
The gaming handheld and mini-PC maker describes the Zune-brown and RGB dial-clad unit as a “Multifunction Graphics Dock,” but is holding details for a “Sharing Session” on May 18th at 3AM ET, as reported by VideoCardz.
Mobile graphics docks are slowly coming to market, including AMD 7600M XT-powered ones like the GPD G1 and the ONEXGPU (which can both connect with Oculink), and the RTX 4090-powered ROG XG Mobile.
Microsoft’s Surface and AI event is coming May 20th, expected to reveal the consumer Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6, featuring Qualcomm chips that could (maybe?) give Apple a run for its money. But Asus will have such a Qualcomm laptop, too. To make sure you’re aware, it’ll do its own virtual launch at 11AM PT that day.
Small design variations make a big difference.
