Five standout gadgets at Computex 2026

Computex was a big show this year. Nvidia unveiled RTX Spark, an Arm-based processor capable of up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and next‑generation graphics for Windows devices, prompting major laptop makers to announce new high‑end models. The event also saw a wave of cheaper "premium" laptops at $599 and $699 aimed squarely at the MacBook Neo.

Nvidia's move into consumer laptops brings chips with up to 128GB of unified memory, tandem OLED displays, haptic touchpads and ultra‑premium builds, though pricing and exact dates remain vague, with estimates in the $2,000–$4,000 range and most saying fall 2026.

Microsoft led the hardware push with the Surface Ultra, billed as "the most powerful Surface laptop ever built," featuring a redesigned thermal system, a vivid mini‑LED touchscreen (2,000 nits, 262 ppi) and an Nvidia Blackwell RTX GPU with up to 128GB of unified memory; hands‑on demos showed very smooth gameplay.
