XDA Developers (via Android Police) found a hidden 160Hz refresh option meant for internal testing that can be unlocked with a so-called ADB shell command.

    Second-screen laptops are the cool new thing, but so far we haven’t seen a good reason to pay extra for one. However, ASUS made a good case with the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15. It has top-flight specs and a high-resolution second display that tilts up for better cooling and visibility.

    It’s a weird niche, but I believe that for a lot of people, the right Chromebook can be a great everyday computer. As such, I’ve kept my eye out for years now on what the best all-around Chromebook is -- and for a few years now, one of ASUS’ Chromebook Flips has been my default answer. Now, ASUS has another Flip for sale, the Chromebook Flip C436.

    The Zephyrus G14 is the ideal gaming laptop. It's incredibly fast; thin and light; and, surprisingly enough, it even packs in a decent amount of battery life. It's a new landmark for ultraportable gaming notebooks, something that every competitor will be judged against.

    ASUS has refreshed its line of gaming laptops with new 10th Generation Intel Core processors, NVIDIA RTX 2070/2080 Super graphics and a bunch of other features designed to make gaming and content creation slicker and smoother. First up, the new Zephyrus S17 (pictured), which comes with a 17.3-inch display with super narrow bezels in an 18.7-millimeter-thin chassis. A 300 Hz refresh rate and 3ms grey-to-grey response time means the display is lightning fast, and it comes with Pantone-validated color accuracy as well.

    ASUS' ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 is a gaming laptop with a built-in second screen

    ASUS has been pushing laptops with second screens for a couple of years now, but it's still searching for a winning formula. Last year's ZenBook Pro Duo pushed the keyboard down to the edge of the laptop's body, with the rest of the surface housing a second screen. The problem with that configuration was an awkwardly placed trackpad. But, you know who cares less about trackpad placement? Gamers. Hence, almost a year later, the company's Republic Of Gamers (ROG) division has its own spin on the concept: the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15.

    The latest Chrome OS education devices will get updates for eight years (updated)

    To help schools get more out of their limited resources, Google is extending the length of time it plans to support new Chrome OS education devices with security and platform updates. Starting this year, the latest education devices from Lenovo and Acer will get automatic updates until June 2028, and it seems that other new devices could receive similar support as well. Before today, Google guaranteed to support most devices with at least six years of automatic updates. To pay for the additional support, the company is increasing the price of its Chrome Education Upgrade, a one-time license school boards can purchase to get additional support from Google, from $30 per device to $38 per device. However, all new devices will get eight years of support, whether a school buys the Chrome Education Upgrade or not.

    No one asked for it, but NVIDIA did it anyway. The company built a gaming monitor with a 360Hz refresh rate, meaning it updates frames once every 2.8 milliseconds. The ASUS ROG Swift 360Hz runs on NVIDIA's 360Hz and G-Sync technologies, and it's designed specifically for esports players and competitive-gaming fans.

    ASUS has been pushing the limits thin gaming laptops since the first Zephyrus model. Now with the Zephyrus G14, it's reached another milestone: stuffing NVIDIA's RTX 2060 Max-Q GPU in to a 14-inch notebook. It's a scant 17.9 millimeters thick and weighs just 3.5 pounds, a bit more than a standard 13-inch ultraportable. And for something completely new, it features ASUS' AniME LED Matrix, a set of programmable LEDs on the cover that can display whatever pixelated images and text you'd like. (And yes, it can even handle animated GIFs.)
