Wall Street: Taiwanese PC maker Asustek Computer Inc. 2357.TW +0.47% is in talks with Microsoft Corp. MSFT +0.78% on a licensing deal to offer Windows 8 mobile phones, an Asustek executive said, making it the latest Asian computer maker eyeing the new operating system.
Personal-computer makers have been trying to cross into the mobile space, and with good reason: smartphone shipments rose 45% last year, compared with a 3.2% contraction in PCs, according to researcher IDC.
The ASUS ProArt Display PA32KCX is on the way - a brand-new 8K monitor designed for professionals, including DisplayPort 2.1 connectivity.
This one overclocks to a 160Hz refresh rate.
The ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 GU603H is truly a beast of a machine when it comes to performing under heavy loads. While there is still room for improvement on the graphics side, 1080p gaming on Ultra High settings above 60FPS is great by any means. You’re not always able to make the most of its 165Hz panel, but it’s still great to have. The only downside to the newly-introduced Intel Core i9 CPU is that there is quite a steep jump over previous Zephyrus gaming laptops.
