This new AI "desktop" from HP hides in plain sight, with a design that takes inspiration from classic computers like the Commodore 64 or VIC-20. I got the chance for an extended first look at it before CES 2026.

The Snapdragon X2 Plus offers much of what's in the higher-end X2 Elite, but the Plus versions are destined for more affordable, everyday AI-focused Windows laptops.

AMD announced the Ryzen AI Halo at CES 2026, a reference design for a mini PC based on its Ryzen AI Max+ chip.

I challenge any PC maker at CES 2026 to serve up a more eye-catching desktop design than the Asus ROG G1000, which comes kitted out with outrageous dancing holograms in the side and front windows.

Qualcomm was so excited to talk about its most powerful ARM-based PC CPUs in 2025, it left off its lower-end, humdrum processor for the big reveal of all its partnered products. Alongside the Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Elite Extreme (cue the guitar riff), Qualcomm is coming to CES 2026 with an X2 Plus chip.

ASUS unleashes its new ROG G1000: a new desktop gaming PC with the best hardware on the market, up to RTX 5090, 128GB RAM, 4TB SSD, and SO much more.

Announced as part of its presence at CES 2026, Thermaltake has shown off its TR100 Koralie edition. The standard TR100 is a dual-chamber, Mini-ITX case, which is to say it's a compact bit of tech. At $150, it's also a reasonably priced start to a small build. Even if the rest of your build will be torturously expensive.

The demand building out AI infrastructure has placed on PC component makers has already led to the death of one consumer-facing RAM brand, but a new report from the International Data Corporation (IDC) suggests it could have an even worse impact on the PC industry at large.

The AquaTouch is a mini PC that features a 9L aluminum case with AMD’s Ryzen 9 9955HX3D processor and support for modern discrete graphics cards, including Nvidia’s RTX 50 series. Its configuration includes PCIe 5.
