Asus expands its range of laptops and devices intended for gamers, officially presenting Strix ROG GL502, the first portable gaming the new ROG Strix line, together with the new ROG headphones Strix renewing its predecessor with support for wireless connectivity. Until now ASUS has used separately ROG brand and the STRIX to connote different lines of products. The new handset marks, for the first time, the union of the two brands in the portable ASUS catalog. A move apparently justified by the desire to further differentiate the portfolio, creating a still lowered under-class in that, broader, that identifies laptops by higher performance game of the Taiwanese.

It defines the new ASUS ROG GL502 Strix a portable compact, powerful game. The hardware configuration includes Intel Core or Intel Core i7-6700HQ i7-6820HK, 15.6 "display processors with FullHD 1080p or 4K Ultra HD resolution depending on the model, both with G-Sync support, while the GPU section provides configurations come to the integration of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M with 8GB of GDDR5 RAM.

The allocation of RAM memory support up to 32GB DDR4-2133 and branch of hybrid storage with SSD M.2 PCI-Express up to a maximum of 512GB mechanical and HD up to 2TB. Closes the segment connectivity framework that includes 3 USB 3.0 ports, one Type-C USB port, HDMI video output 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.2, Gigabit LAN port and headphone / audio jack.

The size of the new ROG GL502 Strix amounted to 39.0 x 26.6 x 2.35 cm (GL502VT model) and 39.9 x 26.6 x 3.01 cm (GL502VY model), while the weight is equal to 2.24 Kg (GL502VT) and 2.34 kg (GL502VY). Asus Italy has not yet confirmed pricing and availability of the new ROG GL502, like the configurations for the Italian market. The price should be less than that of non-Strix ROG models, but expect further confirmation about it.

News also as regards headphones ROG Strix, with a new model equipped with wireless connectivity. Using wireless technology at 2.4GHz and a dual antenna system to free the gamer by cable ties. ASUS claims a maximum range up to 15 meters, while the 900 mAh built-in battery offers should provide up to 10 hours of battery life. ASUS also proposes the wireless model Sonic Audio software for virtual 7.1 surround sound. The new headphones offer the ability to also be used via cable, feature that allows use even with consoles, smartphones and tablets.

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

Max Q: Anomalous

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Last week wasn’t the most successful for spaceflight missions. We’ll get into that a bit more below. In this issue: First up, a botched launch from Virgin Orbit… …followed by one from ABL Space Systems News from Rocket Lab, World View and more Virgin Orbit’s botched launch highlights shaky financial future After Virgin Orbit’s launch failure last Monday, during which the mission experienced an  “anomaly” that prevented the rocket from reaching orbit, I went back over the company’s financials — and things aren’t looking good. For Virgin Orbit, this year has likely been completely turned on its head. The company was aiming for three launches this year, but everything will remain grounded until the cause of the anomaly has been identified and resolved. It’s unclear how long that will take, but likely at least three months. Add this delay to Virgin’s dwindling cash reserves and you have a foundation that’s suddenly much shakier than before. ...
