Computex 2026 took the spotlight this week when it came to gadgets, as a slew of tech majors introduced cutting-edge innovation at the annual event in Taipei, Taiwan. Nvidia made a grand entry in the laptop/PC market with the RTX Spark Superchip, which will power a range of devices — among them, HP’s new line of Windows PCs. While Microsoft upped the ante with the Surface Laptop Ultra — the most powerful Surface ever — Dell went after students and young professionals with the XPS 13. A range of tech was unveiled by the likes of Intel, AMD, and others, even as Asus heated up the gaming zone with its ROG Edition 20 lineup and ROG Xbox Ally X20.
Rumours continued to trickle around Apple’s upcoming flagship lineup: the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. The ones doing the rounds this week were a variable-aperture main camera, aluminium frame colour options, and thickness of the Pro Max. A report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman also claimed the Apple may have pushed back its AI-powered smart glasses launch to late 2027 — sad news for wearable fans who were looking forward to an announcement this year itself.
AI was front and centre — and so were its complications. The state of Florida filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Sam Altman for launching ChatGPT when they did, all the while ignoring the risks it posed. The silver lining: ChatGPT became the fastest app to reach over 1 billion monthly active users. Meta’s AI chatbot was exploited to hack into high-profile Instagram accounts, including those of Barack Obama, as access to the Anthropic’s controversial Claude Mythos AI model was expanded to more countries and companies.
Here’s the tech wrap for this week.
