ASUS OLED Creator Lineup

ASUS’ newest creator models come with OLED displays with benefits for creators. As color is key for creators’ works, OLED technology has been incorporated into the latest line of laptops.

This allows users to utilize Pantone-Validated color accuracy for digital artworks. Editing videos with HDR content is also a breeze with DCI-P3 cinema grade Color Gamut.

There is also more detail when color grading dark scenes or editing black and white artworks because of the ASUS OLED’s true black reproduction and extreme contrast ratio.

Seventy percent lower blue light emissions and color accuracy at low brightness make the laptops more eye-friendly even for extended use.

The Googlebook is the next evolution of the Chromebook

Notebooks are coming later this year.

Chromebooks did not become the go-to alternative for laptop users on a budget. Given how the market looks today, it could have been a matter of “right place, wrong time.” Today, Google is trying again with the new Googlebook lineup.

The Googlebook is different from the Chromebook. Though both platforms allow Android apps to run natively, the Googlebook will focus more on building a foundation on Gemini Intelligence.

Of course, the Android ecosystem is still a focal point. The Googlebook can run apps from the ecosystem and can connect seamlessly with Android phones. Specifically, users can access their phone’s apps and files directly from the notebook without waiting for transfers.

As for the Gemini part, the Googlebook starts by reinventing the cursor. The new Magic Pointer brings the wonder of Gemini to your mouse. A wiggle of the cursor wakes the software, which contextualizes anything it’s pointed to. For example, pointing at a date will ask you if you want to schedule a meeting. Pointing at two photos might merge the two into an AI-generated mashup.

Additionally, Create a Widget will allow you to customize software to perfectly tailor to your needs. Using Gemini, the Googlebook can collate everything you need on your dashboard.

Currently, there are no official models set to come out just yet. However, Google has confirmed that Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo have committed to bringing out the Googlebook this fall. Naturally, each of these brands will have their own take on lineup, but the one thing uniting them will be a unique glowbar to set them apart from other notebooks.
