Introduction The handheld PC gaming market has spent two years stuck in an awkward compromise. Buyers had to choose between raw compatibility, battery life, and consistent performance, and no single device delivered all three. The MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ is the first handheld built to break that pattern, and it does so on the back of an entirely new piece of silicon: Intel’s Arc G3 Extreme, the first SoC Intel has ever purpose-built for handhelds rather than adapting from a laptop part.

Fresh off the massive unveiling of the RTX Spark superchip at GTC Taipei during COMPUTEX 2026, NVIDIA Founder and CEO Jensen Huang took the new silicon directly to the heart of competitive gaming: South Korea. Partnering with top-tier developers and reigning esports champions, Huang toured some of Seoul’s most popular PC bangs to give gamers a firsthand look at the future of local AI and enthusiast-tier performance.

In my personal opinion, this was the best Sony State of Play yet. It had exactly the kind of pacing and structure these showcases desperately need. It opened swinging with Marvel’s Wolverine, closed with the massive surprise of God of War Laufey, and packed the middle with horror, remakes, fighting games, action RPGs, arcade driving, aerial combat, dinosaurs, PlayStation Plus updates, and more actual release dates than these events typically offer. The obvious headline is Wolverine.

For as long as anyone in the enthusiast space can remember, gaming on a Windows laptop has involved significant compromises, especially in battery life. The thin machines were strictly for office work and light travel, while the high-performance rigs required a massive power brick and a wall outlet to unleash their true silicon potential. Enter NVIDIA RTX Spark.

COMPUTEX 2026: MSI Goes All-In on Liquid-Cooled AI Infrastructure and NVIDIA Blackwell Solutions Taipei, Taiwan — As compute density reaches new heights, MSI is utilizing its floor space at COMPUTEX 2026 (Booth #J0605a) to signal a massive shift toward liquid-cooled data center solutions. From massive rack-scale deployments to desktop-bound supercomputing, the message is clear: the AI era is running hot, and MSI has the plumbing to handle it.

The “GRE” suffix has a history at AMD. It stands for “Great Radeon Edition” — a branding that originated in China, where AMD has used it to fill specific price points with slightly trimmed versions of higher-tier cards. The RX 7900 GRE was a genuine surprise when it launched globally: a well-positioned value card that undercut expectations at every turn.

The Smart Gamer’s RTX 5070 Sweet Spot At ~$1,800, the Core Ultra 7 + RTX 5070 pairing hits harder than anything near its price. We put it through its paces — and it earned every dollar. Introduction There’s a version of the gaming laptop market that only makes the news: the monsters. The fire-breathing, wallet-obliterating flagships with desktop-class GPUs, 18-inch panels, and price tags that could finance a used car.

NVIDIA today announced DLSS 5 at its GTC 2026 conference, calling it the most significant breakthrough in computer graphics since the introduction of real-time ray tracing in 2018. The new technology introduces a real-time neural rendering model that infuses game scenes with photoreal lighting and materials — the kind of visual quality previously reserved for Hollywood visual effects. DLSS 5 is slated to arrive this fall with support from some of the industry’s biggest publishers.

Bungie is giving players an early opportunity to step into Marathon with the upcoming Server Slam, running from February 26 at 10 a.m. PT through March 2 at 10 a.m. PT.

But that’s just the beginning.
