Catch up on ASUS' busy week at Computex
Computex? More like ASUStex, amirite? Like last year, the Taiwan-based company used the 2015 show as its personal product launchpad, revealing selfie phones, smartwatches, tablets, hybrid laptops, all-in-ones, tiny projectors, 4K monitors and a transforming PC case, for crying out loud. If you're interested in any of those things, but don't fancy a long search, fear not; we've got a gallery of everything Jonney Shih's outfit revealed at the show. The only category where it was outshone was wearables, thanks to a genuinely bizarre product from archrival Acer.
ASUS' tiny projector can play video from Android phones over USB
If having friends crowd around your smartphone screen to watch videos isn't exactly your idea of a good time, ASUS' new portable projector might be for you. The E1Z, announced today at Computex, is an LED projector that can play content right from your Android phone over micro-USB. Typically, projectors need HDMI dongles to project from smartphones. The E1Z is small enough to fit in your pocket, and it also has a rechargeable battery, so it can get up and running without being plugged into power. It also works as a portable battery pack, allowing you to charge any USB device with its 6,000mAh battery. We're still waiting for details on pricing, availability and actual specs, but ASUS reps mentioned that it may end up going for around $200.
