Computex 2026
The new NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops are AI PCs on steroids
“Useful AI has arrived,” NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang proclaimed in his monumental keynote speech to kick off COMPUTEX 2026, essentially admitting to the state of AI prior to today. But don’t let the past mess with how you view the present. AI today, according to the graphics-turned-AI company, will now serve everyday users, rather than procuring abstract and intangible benefits. For us normal people, it all starts with the new RTX Spark.
Rarely does a new product claim to reinvent the entire industry. Confident in its own abilities, that’s just what the RTX Spark wants to do. But what is it exactly?
Think of it like Microsoft’s Copilot+ PCs but on AI-powered steroids. NVIDIA wants to bring the power of a supercomputer into the hands of regular consumers, just like how the personal computer (PC) brought gigantic computers to the comfort of everyone’s homes.
Co-engineered with Microsoft, RTX Spark will run autonomous AI agents the entire day. The agent is tied to you and your intent but will orchestrate all your devices under one roof.
Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. The new series will leverage a Blackwell RTX GPU and a 20-core Grace CPU from MediaTek. It can also support up to 128GB of unified memory, delivering several of the most powerful (and most expensive) PCs available to consumers today. With the capabilities comparable to an RTX 5070, the series can supposedly play modern games with ease.
Inside, it will come with CUDA, the trove of information that powers AI technology today. Finally, despite how slim NVIDIA promises the series will be, the RTX Spark should come with a battery that lasts the entire day.
The first NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops will launch later this fall with six premium laptops for various brands. This, along with the 30 models launching soon after, will include Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and MSI. No word yet on how much these will cost, though.
At COMPUTEX 2026, GIGABYTE is demonstrating how AI infrastructure is built, deployed, and operated at scale — from full-stack to real-world deployment.
This done through a comprehensive lineup of systems, software, and real-world deployments, turning the company’s “Future Landing” vision into reality.
From rack-scale AI factories and modular data centers to physical AI workflows, clinical applications, and on-prem AI agents, GIGABYTE is demonstrating how AI infrastructure moves beyond planning and into production.
Rack-scale AI
At the foundation of GIGABYTE’s “Future Landing” is an expanded portfolio of rack-scale AI infrastructure. These are designed for next-gen AI factories.
Part of the broader rack-scale portfolio is the NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72. The company is also presenting the GAIFA (GIGABYTE AI Factory Accelerator), built in Taiwan where next-generation compute, high-speed networking, and NVIDIA’s software stack are integrated.
Scaling AI infrastructure
For accelerated deployment beyond conventional data center construction, GIGABYTE introduces GADU (GIGABYTE Accelerated Deployment Unit).
This modular AI infrastructure platform integrates high-density compute, advanced cooling, and power distribution into transportable and deployment-ready systems.
GADU enables organizations to expand AI capacity. That’s with significantly reduced deployment timelines, while maintaining flexibility across diverse operational environments.
Furthermore, for generative and agentic AI systems, GIGABYTE is extending hardware system options for scaling. There’s the AMD Instinct MI355X and MI350P. These are both built on the fourth-generation CDNA architecture.
Physical AI from Simulation to Action
To demonstrate how AI moves beyond simulation to real-world scenarios, GIGABYTE also presented a complete “real-to-sim-to-real” workflow, built on NVIDIA’s full-stack AI platforms.
Here’s a quick rundown of the workflow:
- High-fidelity digital twins built through NVIDIA OVX systems for large-scale Omniverse simulations
- Training advances through platform on NVIDIA HGX architecture, where synthetic data generation and reinforcement learning take place
- Once validated, trained models are deployed to edge systems, powered by NVIDIA Jetson for real-time robotic control
Clinical AI
At the GIGABYTE booth, the company is also showcasing a clinical AI ecosystem for real-time medical inference at the point of care.
This Clinical AI works alongside healthcare partners. It integrates BRIX mini PCs with AI-assisted diagnostic systems supporting bone marrow smear classification and real-time polyp detection during colonoscopy.
ASUS has announced the ROG XBOX Ally X20 bundle at COMPUTEX 2026, just in time to celebrate the gaming brand’s 20th anniversary.
Featuring a translucent black chassis with vibrant gold internal structure, the machine is both a throwback to gaming two decades ago and a vision of the future.
The translucence offers a peek under the hood to the high-performance cooling system and handheld silicon from AMD.
Premium hardware
The ROG XBOX Ally X20 brings a new Nebula HDR Display to the handheld for the first time, with a 7.4-inch OLED panel and Corning DXC glass and anti-reflective coating.
This slightly larger panel increases immersion and visibility. It has up to 120Hz refresh rate, FreeSync Premium of support, and 1,400 nits of peak brightness.
Furthermore, it has a VESA DisplayHDR 1000 rating, Dolby Vision, and 0.2ms response time.
Powering the portable device is the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor with ample gaming horsepower and the latest tools like Auto SR upscaling, as well as XBOX for seamless navigation and gaming.
It supports 24GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB of PCIe 4.0 storage to accommodate a large library of titles.
Better ergonomics, controls
Inspired by iconic XBOX controller designs, the ROG XBOX Ally X20 has a transforming D-Pad. It’s designed with the standard four-way movement, but can easily be converted to eight-way control for fighting games.
The improved face buttons have also been adjusted, now sitting flush against the chassis to enable smooth and uninterrupted thumb sliding. On the rear of the handgrips is a rubberized coating.
Speaking of controls, the next-gen handheld levels up with a new TMR joystick technology, delivering pinpoint precision, smoother tracking, and longer-lasting performance.
Bundled with ROG XREAL R1 Edition 20 Gaming AR Glasses
The bundle also features the ROG XREAL R1 Edition 20 Gaming AR Glasses, making the set an absolute collector’s must-have.
The AR glasses feature a 171-inch virtual screen at four meters, 240Hz display that covers 95% of the field of view, and a 0.01ms response time, thanks to micro-OLED. These glasses plug directly into the Ally via USB-C.
