The team behind Vercel’s V0, an AI-powered platform for web creation, has developed an AI model it claims excels at certain website development tasks. Available through an API, the model, called “v0-1.0-md,” can be prompted with text or images, and was “optimized for front-end and full-stack web development,” the Vercel team says. Currently in beta, […]

                            <p>Even though it’s been almost a year since they released, I’ve still been going on and on about the <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.techradar.com/audio/earbuds-airpods/nothing-ear-review">Nothing Ear</a> and <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.techradar.com/audio/earbuds-airpods/nothing-ear-a-review">Nothing Ear (a)</a> as though they were the hot new gadgets in the block. But it’s time to stop dwelling on the past, even if one model does rank among the <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.techradar.com/news/audio/the-best-wireless-earbuds-available-today-1327335">best wireless earbuds</a>, and look to the future.</p><p>Given that it’s been releasing new earbuds ever year, a regular ol' Santa Claus of music, it seems likely that tech company Nothing will be preparing a new pair of Nothing Ear buds for 2025 – especially given that company is <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.techradar.com/audio/earbuds-airpods/nothing-teases-new-audio-gear-made-with-kef-coming-in-2025-and-im-excited-for-this-one">now pairing with British hi-fi great KEF and has several audio products planned for release this year</a>.</p><p>The company’s been operating with an infuriating lack of a numbering system since the <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.techradar.com/audio/headphones/earbuds-airpods/nothing-ear-2-review">Ear (2)</a>, so I’m just going to call these the Nothing Ear (2025) for the purpose of making this article at least a little bit easy to read.</p><p>At the time of writing, the only hints we have about a new set of Ear-branded buds and a budget companion are the hints about the KEF tie-up. So here's what I want to see in the new buds, in the absence of any concrete leaks about features. I’ve tested both of the 2024 models – as well as the <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.techradar.com/audio/earbuds-airpods/nothing-ear-open-review-one-issue-upsets-nothings-first-draft-open-ear-headphones">Nothing Ear (open)</a> – and will draw on that for this wish-list.</p><h2 id="nothing-ear-2025-cut-to-the-chase-6">Nothing Ear (2025): cut to the chase</h2><ul><li><strong>What is it?</strong> The newest generation of Nothing earbuds</li><li><strong>When could it launch?</strong> Likely later in 2025</li><li><strong>How much could it cost?</strong> Standard for around $150 / £130 / AU$250, the cheaper (a) version for about a third less</li></ul><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1464px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.22%;"><img id="kQARSv8iL5o9Ha26io954E" name="Nothing Ear vs Nothing Ear (a) cases.jpg" alt="The Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a) against a purple backdrop." src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/kQARSv8iL5o9Ha26io954E.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1464" height="823" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future)</span></figcaption></figure><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-nothing-ear-2025-price-and-release-date-predictions"><span>Nothing Ear (2025): price and release date predictions</span></h3><p>So far, we've been looking at annual releases from Nothing; the Ear came out in April 2024 and the Ear (2) (which came before the Ear, despite the name) was released in March 2023.</p><p>Nothing has said that's working on a pair of over-ear headphones for release likely later this year, but hasn't said anything about new earbuds specifically – only that it has multiple new audio products coming from its partnership with KEF.</p><p>Based on the yearly cycle, I'd have expected to see the new earbuds already. It’s possible that the September 2024 release of the Nothing Ear (open) has caused the company to push its schedule by a few months, so let’s hope the new buds come in the middle few months of the year, or perhaps towards the end.</p><p>And what about price? We’ve heard nothing on that front, but Nothing hasn’t done much to change the cost of its buds between generations. The Nothing Ear cost $149 / £129 / AU$249, while the Nothing Ear (a) went for $99 / £99 / AU$192.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:3774px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="HodPwRAGhefBanRrcWTtdC" name="IMG_2159.jpg" alt="Nothing Ear (a) held in a hand, on brown background" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/HodPwRAGhefBanRrcWTtdC.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="3774" height="2123" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-nothing-ear-2025-what-we-want-to-see"><span>Nothing Ear (2025): what we want to see</span></h2><p>I reviewed the Nothing Ear for TechRadar and have been using the (a) for the best part of a year now as my 'standard' earbuds. So here's what I'd love to see on a new-and-improved version of the duo:</p><h2 id="1-a-new-nothing-ear-a-6">1. A new Nothing Ear (a)</h2><p>If, like me, you think the Nothing Ear (a) remain some of the <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.techradar.com/news/audio/best-in-ear-headphones-1276925">best earbuds</a> you can buy right now, you might be alarmed to know that there are no guarantees a new version of this model will return.</p><p>In fairness there’s no reason that a new Nothing Ear (a) <em>won’t </em>come out, but remember that 2024 was the first year we saw an (a)-style affordable alternative, following the company’s trend of (a) smartphones. So it’s not a recurring product type that’s guaranteed to return.</p><p>I hope it does, though, because the Nothing Ear (a) have become the budget headphones I compare rivals too – and some updated ones in 2025 could wipe the floor clean with the competition.</p><h2 id="2-a-longer-battery-life-6">2. A longer battery life</h2><p>My main gripe with the Nothing Ear in my review, which I also bump into when I’m using the Ear (a,) is that neither has a particularly impressive battery life.</p><p>For context, you get about five hours of listening with the standard model and an extra half hour with the (a) – both figures while ANC is turned on. By my personal standards, anything sub-six-hour is sub-standard – I really like to see eight hours on the spec list.</p><p>You might be wondering who listens to music for 8 hours straight – but I think you’d be surprised. That is, after all, the length of an average working day, and it’s the amount of time you might be wanting to listen if you’re travelling or working on something that requires audio.</p><p>More than once the Ear (a) have run out of juice when I’ve needed them: once on a bus ride to my hometown, another time in the afternoon of a working day.</p><p>So I’d love to see any of Nothing’s new earbuds offer a little more listening time before they run out of power.</p><h2 id="3-improved-cases-6">3. Improved cases</h2><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1600px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="8Jk5Zkpg6g7XufQUykJ7ha" name="Nothing Ear case.jpg" alt="The Nothing Ear buds in their case." src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/8Jk5Zkpg6g7XufQUykJ7ha.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1600" height="900" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Both the Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a) came with cheap-feeling plasticky charging cases. I can excuse the (a)’s – the case is incredibly small, and the products are cheap themselves. But that’s not quite the case with the flagship device.</p><p>The Nothing Ear’s case creaks a little in the hand, a true symptom of cheap plastic, and it doesn’t feel particularly premium to hold. It’s just a case, you’re not meant to get too riled-up about it, but Nothing’s decision to use see-through fronts in an attempt to evoke noughties-style gadget-nostalgia shows that case design is important to it.</p><p>I’ve tested loads of much-cheaper earbuds that come with cases that feel more premium, usually due to the material or texture, for example the <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.techradar.com/audio/earbuds-airpods/sony-wf-c510-review">Sony WF-C510</a>. Nothing should take notes.</p><h2 id="4-a-slightly-higher-max-volume-6">4. A slightly higher max volume</h2><p>I know the whole point of active noise cancellation, or ANC, is to allow you to hear your music without you having to do so at a hearing-damagingly loud volume. But to get pumped, you sometimes need to play your tunes loud, and neither of the 2024 Nothing Ear products allowed for that.</p><p>It’s not that I struggled to hear music (most of the time), just that the earbuds never let me turn the volume up to 11 – it’s also an issue I had with the the open-ear buds later in the year. Come on Nothing, let’s push that decibel count a <em>little</em>.</p><h2 id="5-the-a-having-sound-profile-personalization-6">5. The (a) having sound profile personalization</h2><p>They say beggars can’t be choosers, but I’m about to choose a premium feature I want to come to the affordable earbuds.</p><p>One major difference between the Nothing Ear (a) and its premium sibling is that the latter had a sound personalization feature – it was an easy test that created a custom audio mix based on your unique sonic sensibilities. <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.techradar.com/audio/this-excellent-nothing-ear-feature-changed-the-way-i-listen-to-music-and-made-me-judge-earbuds-in-a-whole-new-way">I tried it, and I loved it</a>.</p><p>Sure, a lack of features in the Nothing Ear (a) is the price you’re paying for… well, not paying a price. But it’s been a year – let’s let the budget buyers enjoy it now too. And maybe the higher-end model will have a new flagship feature to draw people to it.</p><h2 id="6-funkier-colors-on-the-top-end-model-6">6. Funkier colors on the top-end model</h2><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:4030px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="YZGLr84crvL4fkycXzMcFd" name="IMG_2166.jpg" alt="Nothing Ear (a) next to the Nothing Ear (2), on a brown sofa" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/YZGLr84crvL4fkycXzMcFd.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="4030" height="2267" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future)</span></figcaption></figure><p>I’ve been writing about tech for over six years now, and perhaps the most common complaint I’ve made about anything is how gadgets all too often come in only two boring color options: white or black. I want some color!</p><p>Thankfully, the Nothing Ear (a) is one of the rare exceptions of funky-colored buds, coming in a yellow option that <em>obviously </em>I love to wear out. But if you don’t like yellow, you’re going to be left blue.</p><p>I’d love to see a few more color options (colorways, as tech nerds call them) available in future generations. Admittedly Nothing is reticent to color products, judging by its phones, but it does offer its CMF-branded gadgets in a few more vibrant hues so perhaps it’s time to take inspiration from that budget range.</p><h2 id="7-keep-the-equalizer-6">7. Keep the equalizer</h2><p>There’s no indication that Nothing is going to change the equalizer in its Nothing X app… but I can see why it’d want to.</p><p>The Nothing X equalizer is pretty barebones by industry standards – many rivals offer eight- or 10-band equalizers, letting you tweak your sound profile down to the wire. However Nothing offers a three-band one so you can change bass, treble and mid, and that’s it.</p><p>Many audiophiles will find this insufficient but I think that’s besides the point – a simple EQ like this is really easy to use for people who aren’t audiophiles, and it gives them a way to customize their music without having to sit through endless YouTube tutorials on what the various settings do. So I’d like to see Nothing keep this feature the same.</p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-you-might-also-like"><span>You might also like…</span></h3><ul><li><a href="https://www.techradar.com/audio/earbuds-airpods/airpods-pro-3-everything-we-know-so-far-key-upgrades-we-want-to-see">AirPods Pro 3: all the latest rumors and leaks, plus what we want to see</a></li><li><a href="https://www.techradar.com/audio/earbuds-airpods/skullcandys-won-me-over-with-the-bose-tuned-method-360-anc-but-one-design-choice-baffles-me">Skullcandy's won me over with the Bose-tuned Method 360 ANC, but one design choice baffles me</a></li><li><a href="https://www.techradar.com/audio/earbuds-airpods/samsungs-next-pair-of-affordable-galaxy-earbuds-could-come-with-a-battery-boost">Samsung's next pair of affordable Galaxy earbuds could come with a battery boost</a></li></ul>

this is not the case as much now, and managing the demand and load being put on the grid is becoming an increasing worry.</p><p>Data center providers can also play their part, Holmes adds - partnerships are, "absolutely key to success".</p><p>Asked about the challenges, opportunities and learnings, Shedd notes power cooling technology can be a huge advantage moving forward.</p><p>Starting from the chip, to the rack, to the row, up to the data center, heat needs to be considered at each stage, he says, meaning a 1% improvement at any stage can roll in to big opportunities as a whole.</p><p>The more efficiently heat is collected, the easier it is to reject the heat outside of the building.</p><p>When it comes to learnings, Shedd notes that working together with customers, and listening to them to learn their needs, is vital.</p><p>"Every deployment is unique," he says.</p><p>Where Dell really excels is deployment and field services, he adds, deploying the technology at scale, and quickly.</p><p>Time for Q&A - first up, how does Dell deal with the potential over-hype when it comes to generative AI?</p><p>Holmes counters by saying there are "profound applications of Gen AI" that are changing how organizations do business.</p><p>Shedd adds that while he sees the skepticism, but notes the scale and breadth of Gen AI technology shows how it can be useful for organizations across the board.</p><p>The next question concerns workload scheduling in data center- what is its role?</p><p>Ty Schmitt, Dell Vice President and Fellow, has joined us, and explains factoring in this functionality at a rack or cluster level has been a huge advantage - although this is often customer-specific.</p><p>Next is a question about power expansion - are you building to a GPU, or is it something else?</p><p>Shedd notes that although the curve keeps going up, with no end in sight (for the time being at least) - with Dell announcing new rack hardware and cooling services to ensure optimal running.</p><p>But not that many customers are building to this kind of scale, he adds - it's very much customer-specific.</p><p>Schmitt adds understanding of customer scale and needs is vital - so optimizing for performance per watt is the important thing.</p><p>The final question is about local and regional energy production, and how this might affect building or planning new data centers.</p><p>Holmes notes once again that partnerships are essential - and providing the balance between the energy available, and the capacity on offer, might be the main point.</p><p>With that, it's a wrap here - we'll be back shortly.</p><p>Good morning and welcome to day two of Dell Technologies World 2025.</p><p>We're well rested and ready for another packed day -

which industries are showing the most promise and success, especially when it comes to unstructured data?</p><p>Lewis notes healthcare, retail and manufacturing as particular success stories, and that Dell's role is being a knowledgeable and trustful advisor, from early on, throughout the whole process.</p><p>Clarke adds the growth of object data is set to skyrocket, so having the right disaggregated storage architecture is vital.</p><p>Next, a question about acceleration vs transformation in AI - and the role agents will play in this.</p><p>Clarke notes the progress shown by agentic technology in IT management alone shows the huge potential of what it could do for the wider world.</p><p>"It's pretty exciting - if you think about the progress we've made already, that's only the start," he adds.</p><p>Lewis notes the pace of innovation is "just incredible" - so there's no way to anticipate what will happen next.</p><p>A question about the Dell AI Factory next - are there concerns about the effects of wider political and economical events in looking at the future?</p><p>Dell agrees these are issues and challenges - but the general company view is that the opportunities presented by this technology is bigger than any potential roadblocks.</p><p>"Tokens are bigger than tariffs," he chuckles. "But there's a limit to what we can do about it - we want to focus on what we can control."</p><p>A question about Dell's supply chains next - will the company move away from China and the US, towards emerging markets such as India and Vietnam?</p><p>Clarke emphasizes Dell operates a global supply chain - which Dell notes is "undefeated" - which has navigated multiple challenges over the years, and has been digitized to anticipate and deal with any changes or problems.</p><p>"We're confident we can navigate whatever the world throws at us," he adds.</p><p>Next, a question about Windows 10 End of Life - is Dell doing anything differently to help customers navigate it?</p><p>Burd says there are probably around 500 million PCs that need upgrading - and Dell is working with its customers to get them onto Windows 11 PCs.</p><p>Unsurprisingly, Dell's new AI PCs could be a great fit, he notes - "We see the opportunity out there, and we have great devices."</p><p>Clarke adds there are concerns about the development of such devices over the next few years - but investing in the right hardware will set your business right.</p><p>Dell adds the company had an aggressive campaign to recycle older products, and is trying to ensure new devices feature reusable hardware and have more sustainable options.</p><p>But he does say many customers have the right idea - and are very proactive about recycling older devices.</p><p>Next is a question about where customers should deploy their AI and share their data.</p><p>Dell notes the company has been building airgapped storage methods for some time, and the new Google Gemini announcement shows the strength of such approaches.</p><p>"There's no question in our mind most data will be created in the physical world, and the AI will be very close to where the data is being created," he notes.</p><p>A question about Dell's conversation with Jensen Huang yesterday, and if the two share any leadership principles.</p><p>After a considerate pause, Dell highlights a simple thought of how transformational technology can disrupt a business -

Hanks recalls celebrating his birthday in the Louvre, and getting changed in front of the Mona Lisa...a different world hey.</p><p>The pair recall filming underwater in <em>Splash!</em>, and weightlessness in <em>Apollo 13</em> - sequences which had to be done in a completely different technical space to today.</p><p>Hanks notes that filming such sequences would never be done today - CGI would take over, making things much safer and more cost-effective.</p><p>"The tools at our disposal now, as an actor - it's not quite as much fun standing in front of a blue screen, pretending you're in the Sistine Chapel, as actually going to the Sistine Chapel," Hanks laughs.</p><p>Hanks notes AI and ChatGPT aren't going to fully take over the filmmaking process, saying there will always need to be a human role present.</p><p>Howard recalls working with George Lucas on <em>Willow</em>, where CGI in a very primitive role was used for one of the first times.</p><p>"It's always about the audience - you need to tell them the story," Howard says - something using too much AI will affect - "those films benefit from the human fingerprint."</p><p>Hanks recalls the sequence in <em>Forrest Gump</em> where the lead character is super-imposed alongside world leaders - the audience knew it wasn't strictly accurate, but that helped the escapism.</p><p>Asked if technology has changed their creative process, Hanks notes his next project, filming in Australia, will be filmed entirely inside - so something is lost a little by not being in the environment, but the benefits are also there.</p><p>Hanks gives a shout-out to <em>Adolescence</em>, the Netflix hit show filmed in one shot in the UK.</p><p>Story is king, Howard notes - and characters are the vital point here, with his role as director being to create the environment.</p><p>AI can generate a lot of amazing things, Howard notes - and there's great value in that - but it is all about the spirit of the people who make the film, and the actors' dedication to their roles.</p><p>"It's exciting to use the tech, but we have to respond to our audience," Howard notes when asked about failing fast.</p><p>Asked about the effect of AI on future cinema - especially deepfakes and digital imaging, Hanks says there is a need for legislation, and suggest governments should be getting involved.</p><p>"You need to think, do I really own the copyright for me?" he asks.</p><p>Hanks mentions a movie he did which used de-aging for characters, noting it is "just another kind of make-up".</p><p>Howard predicts there may soon be another genre of films that are obviously deepfakes - much like specific studios such as Pixar have a consistent style.</p><p>Overall, Howard says the audience reaction will ultimately see what technology benefits future films.</p><p>Hanks notes that although ChatGPT or AI can generate film or TV ideas, whether they're any good or not is a completely different question!</p><p>Technology has always influenced story-telling, Howard notes - all the way back to caveman doing shadow theatre.</p><p>It's how we create the illusion that's vital, he laughs.</p><p>Hanks hails the "experiential economy" of going to watch a film - but how can this be developed or improved in the future?</p><p>He urges all of us to go experience movies in any format -

Given how many data center GPUs they've been selling, it's very hard to argue with that.</p><p>I will have a lot more to say about this later, but I 100% agree with Huang that 'intelligence infrastructure', i.e., AI, is following the exact same trajectory as the internet did in the 1990s.</p><p>Nvidia aiming for AI factory infrastructure—an industry measured "in the trillions of dollars", according to Huang—really reiterates my concerns about the future of Nvidia GeForce as a consumer product.

The Nvidia RTX 5060 'reveal' section of the keynote lasted less than a minute though, and we didn't get any real discussion of the RTX 5060 either. Honestly, Huang spent more time talking about the RTX 5060 GPU in the MSI laptop he was holding than the graphics card in his other hand. He might have mentioned the manufacturer of the graphics card he was holding and I missed it, but I don't think he did.</p><p>Nvidia GeForce might be one of Nvidia's children, but it's clearly less favored than it used to be.</p><p>Again, Computex is not nearly as consumer focused as CES, but woof, if you blinked, you'd have missed the announcement of Nvidia's new graphics card.</p><p>I know I keep harping on how little GeForce is talked about during these keynotes, but I think that gamers deserve a little more attention than Nvidia's been giving them. Nvidia's graphics cards are generally fantastic products, and gamers who've been buying them for more than two decades helped provide the stable and profitable foundation for Nvidia to develop the advanced AI technology that has turned it into a multi-trillion dollar company.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1915px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.24%;"><img id="Ezuk2BnvVZS2qZoQnkwsCT" name="image" alt="Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang presenting Grace Blackwell at Computex 2025" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Ezuk2BnvVZS2qZoQnkwsCT.png" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1915" height="1077" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Nvidia)</span></figcaption></figure><p>As Huang just explained, so much AI and data center infrastructure is being built now that it's hard to really wrap your head around, but as he says "The more you buy, the more you build."</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:4032px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="jpBiMY4c5vVQpUd7RpedUX" name="d6b20dbb-3b08-4618-87f4-758f9251abef~1" alt="The Asus Dual OC RTX 5060 being held by a person's left hand." src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/jpBiMY4c5vVQpUd7RpedUX.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="4032" height="2268" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future)</span></figcaption></figure><p>If you haven't gotten the chance yet, you should check out our <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.techradar.com/computing/gpu/i-tested-the-rtx-5060-is-8gb-of-vram-really-enough-in-2025">RTX 5060 preview</a>, where my colleague Christian Guyton got an advanced, extended look at the new graphics card.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1900px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.26%;"><img id="zkcNvnLnxiVMUhpJHcFnDf" name="image" alt="Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang showing off the new Nvidia RTX 6000 Pro server racks at Computex 2025" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/zkcNvnLnxiVMUhpJHcFnDf.png" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1900" height="1069" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Nvidia)</span></figcaption></figure><p>I'm dead.

HP puts the battery life for these new OLED laptops at 34 hours, and the price at $799 to start.</p><p>Expected launch? July. We'll definitely be taking a closer look at these.</p><p>Good morning from Taiwan! It's 8am here, and I (Matt) am attending several roundtables with Qualcomm before I head over to the Computex show floor. As I mentioned before, Qualcomm is becoming an increasingly important player in computing, with some of the <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.techradar.com/news/mobile-computing/laptops/best-laptops-1304361">best laptops</a> in the world running on its Arm-based Snapdragon X chips.</p><p>So, it'll be interesting to hear what the company thinks the future of computing will hold.</p><p>The first roundtable session is about to start. Alex Katouzian from Qualcomm will be hosting it, and it'll be about 'Snapdragon Vision: Navigating the Future of MCX'.</p><p>Mobile Computing and XR if you are wondering, like I was, what MCX stood for.</p><p>The XR element sounds interesting, could we hear about new smart glasses.</p><p>Alex Katouzian is starting with data centers. One of the biggest bits of news from yesterday was Qualcomm's entry into this space. Not the most relevant news for us at TechRadar, but it'll be interesting to see how Qualcomm challenges the likes of Intel, AMD and Nvidia.</p><p>Katouzian reiterates Qualcomm's aim to make the profits it makes from smartphones, once it's biggest area, just 50% of the business. Computers and automotives will be key to this - though smartphones will remain very important.</p><p>'PC is a long game for us' Katouzian says. Aiming for 10% market share.</p><p>'The PC market is different - we had to go to market and establish strong relationships with not only PC OEMs, but also retail and commercial outlets.'</p><p>Qualcomm is certainly a new name in computing compared to the likes of Intel and AMD, but it's making big strides already, and the company is very ambitious. Will talk about next generation of Snapdragon chips for PCs in the 'next few months' and will launch at the beginning of next year. Exciting!</p><p>Now onto headsets like smartglasses, AI assistants could make a big difference with these products, which to be honest haven't really taken off in my view.</p><p>Though apparently Meta (company behind Facebook) is expecting sales of its smart glasses to grow by six times.</p><p>Multi device experiences will also be key - using smart glasses along with a smartwatch. Lots of businesses will be pushing this. Nice idea, but it'll be expensive for consumers. But Qualcomm wants people to use multiple devices powered by its hardware.</p><p>Almost every Android player making wearables is working with Qualcomm according to Katouzian.</p><p>I've heard companies, like Sony, talk before about their dream of being behind every device in a person's home. It's never really worked, maybe Apple has got closest with its ecosystem.</p><p>Qualcomm, due to how its hardware is already behind so many varied devices, could have the best chance of actually achieving this. The key will be if you have a Snapdragon-powered device from one manufacturer, could you use it with a Snapdragon device from another manufacturer? Qualcomm would love this, no doubt, but other companies might not be too keen.</p><p>Interesting note that Qualcomm is talking to Microsoft regarding the Xbox handheld....</p><p>Kedar Kondap, SVP & GM, Compute and Gaming, Qualcomm Technologies is now hosting a Q&A session. He's talking about Copilot and how AI agents can make interacting with our PCs easier and more natural.</p><p>He uses Copilot every day, mainly to compose emails, but that's not what he wants AI to be used just for that. Me too.</p><p>Using AI to generate images and slides is useful, yet is primative, says Kondap. He wants to see it evolve.</p><p>AI is a use case that people need to understand, according to Kedar Kondap.</p><p>Am I not impressed by AI on laptops so far because I'm not using it correctly? Hmm...</p><p>There was a good question put to Kedar Kondap about Qualcomm's responsibility to make sure AI doesn't completely take over from humans (for things like replying to emails, creating art).</p><p>Kondap assures that Qualcomm sees humans as crucial, and will always be in control. I'm definitely not the only person in this room who has yet to be convinced by how AI can transform our experience of using a computer.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:720px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="G4pSNoGWG5xkPiQ7YYcT3d" name="Foxconn keynote" alt="Foxconn CEO keynote at Computex 2025" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/G4pSNoGWG5xkPiQ7YYcT3d.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="720" height="405" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future)</span></figcaption></figure><p><em>TechRadar Pro</em> is seated for the Foxconn keynote this morning - and we're listening to Young Liu - CEO of Foxconn and Chairman of the Hon Hai Technology Group.

You can find a livestream of the event embedded above so you can follow along with me as I provide in-the-moment reactions to all the breaking news from AMD out of Computex 2025.</p><p>As for what we'll see announced at the press event, the RX 9060 cards are clearly top of mind now that Nvidia has launched what many expect will be the last non-Super card of this generation from Nvidia.</p><p>AMD's RX 9070 cards, meanwhile, have proved very successful for Team Red (the RX 9070 XT tops our best graphics card list for a reason), and so with a lot of gamers not really feeling enthusiastic about Nvidia's latest offerings, AMD has a real chance to score a big win with a well-priced GPU right now.</p><p>Of course, it won't be all about GPUs during AMD's event, as we might hear more about AMD's professional and industrial products, like Epyc server hardware, and there'll definitely be a lot of talk about AI.</p><p>I don't expect there will be much on the consumer front as far as Ryzen chips go, but Threadripper is due for a refresh at some point, so it's possible we'll hear some news on that as well.</p><p>The music is kicking up, so that's usually the cue that we're about to begin.</p><p>Jack Huynh, AMD's senior VP and GM for computing and graphics is taking the stage now, so almost certainly a Radeon announcement incoming.</p><p>"We're going big by going small," Huynh says.</p><p>Yes, the <em>The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remaster</em> really is amazing. That is all.</p><p>Huynh's shoutout to gamers is a refreshing change from Nvidia's keynote the other night.</p><p>AMD FSR Redstone looks like AMD's answer to Nvidia DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction.</p><p>FSR Redstone will only be available to RDNA 4 cards.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1920px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="Ck7r9SJd3GpaeYJhQLbkcn" name="9060 XT" alt="The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT announcement at computex 2025" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Ck7r9SJd3GpaeYJhQLbkcn.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1920" height="1080" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future / John Loeffler)</span></figcaption></figure><p>AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT is official, with the 16GB variant starting at $349.99, available on June 5th.</p><p>No news on the RX 9060 non-XT, but the RX 9060 XT will feature 32 compute units, compared to the 56 compute units in the RX 9070, so it will definitely be a lot slower than the RX 9070 series, but it will come with 16GB GDDR6 VRAM, and according to Huynh, it will come in slightly faster in gaming than the RTX 5060 Ti when not using Frame Generation.</p><p>While Huynh is talking AI for enterprise and research, I dug up the we have on the RX 9060 XT so far:</p><div ><table><caption>RX 9060 XT Specs</caption><tbody><tr><td class="firstcol " ><p><strong>Price</strong></p></td><td  ><p> </p></td><td  ><p>Starting at $349.99 (UK and Australia pricing TBD)</p></td></tr><tr><td class="firstcol " ><p><strong>Compute Units</strong></p></td><td  ><p> </p></td><td  ><p>32</p></td></tr><tr><td class="firstcol " ><p><strong>Shading Units</strong></p></td><td  ></td><td  ><p>2,048</p></td></tr><tr><td class="firstcol " ><p><strong>Ray Accelerators</strong></p></td><td  ></td><td  ><p>32</p></td></tr><tr><td class="firstcol " ><p><strong>AI Processors</strong></p></td><td  ></td><td  ><p>64</p></td></tr><tr><td class="firstcol " ><p><strong>Boost Clock</strong></p></td><td  ></td><td  ><p>3.1GHz</p></td></tr><tr><td class="firstcol " ><p><strong>Memory Type</strong></p></td><td  ></td><td  ><p>GDDR6</p></td></tr><tr><td class="firstcol " ><p><strong>Memory Pool</strong></p></td><td  ></td><td  ><p>16GB</p></td></tr><tr><td class="firstcol " ><p><strong>Memory Interface</strong></p></td><td  ></td><td  ><p>TBD</p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>I'm gotten some more info from AMD and it looks like there will be an 8GB variant of the RX 9060 XT, but since the price Huynh gave for the 16GB spec was $349.99, the 8GB card will likely come in under $300, with the RX 9060 coming in even lower than that when it launches.</p><p>New Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series and Ryzen Threadripper Pro WX series processors will be available starting in July.

Synology's Cody Hall is leading the talk this morning, explaining all the tools and features the PAS device brings.</p><p>Hall highlights the 'effortless setup'  for deployment within minutes of setup even on mobile devices. The system offers ‘non-disruptive everything’ so replacing a RAM, updating a server, or anything else your organisation needs to work on won’t disrupt your service.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:720px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="AHta6awAKXJ6z72bavmCfB" name="Synology media Computex 2025" alt="Synology PAS7700 launch" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/AHta6awAKXJ6z72bavmCfB.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="720" height="405" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future)</span></figcaption></figure><p>The PAS7700 has built in 3-2-1-1 protection capabilities, which includes replication , immutable snapshots, and backup options. The system has memory Cache protection, so memory maps are saved and can be replicated into a memory pool. there’s also hardware level fault tolerance and software/ firmware upgrade failover, which is a graceful process, meaning no interruptions to your processes. The failover occurs in under five seconds, so interruptions won’t be an issue for users.</p><p>Note that the device comes with the hardware security of AMD infinity guard and drive encryption - and MFA and access controls for extra layers of security. Immutability and volume encryption are also significant features on this platform, so valuable intellectual property is safe. Hall explains that login analysis and file activity/ransomware monitoring mean that Synology PAS7700 customer data is incredibly secure. All in all, the PAS7700 boasts powerful performance alongside cost efficiency.</p><p>Pricing is yet to be confirmed, or yet to be announced anyway - but we're assured this will come soon. VIP customers will get to test and pilot the Synology PAS700 series in August - so Synolgy has welcomed its top customers to get involved! As for the future, the GS3000 is 'coming along very well' and should be on offer in 2026 - and will be 'weavable' inside the tiering environment - Hall confirms 2026 will be a 'big year' for Synology releases.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:720px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:75.00%;"><img id="w9WiAzEZeDCQUWpBBh6Byd" name="Seagate Mozaic 3+" alt="Seagate Mosaic 3+" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/w9WiAzEZeDCQUWpBBh6Byd.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="720" height="540" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future)</span></figcaption></figure><p>A short break from Synology, and its over to the Seagate stall next for Pro, with the award winning Seagate IronWolf Pro on show a hard drive with 24/7 performance that allows users to access their data wherever they are, whenever they need.

Synology explains this is designed on three core components; smart scaling architecture, plug and play deployment, and continuity-first infrastructure. We're currently being given a timed demonstration of the set up - the goal was two minutes but Synology managed it in just over 60 seconds!</p><p>To mitigate any risk of lost footage, the continuity-first infrastructure uses microSD cards for 24/7 industrial-grade recording.

• Rugged smartphones aren't boring - the Tank 4 Pro has a built-in DLP projector
• 8849 Tank 4 Pro is ready for anything, even weekend survival missions
• Big batteries are yesterday’s news; this rugged phone brings a full entertainment system outdoors

The best rugged smartphones now offer more than just durability and big batteries; high-end cameras and even portable projectors are becoming the new norm.

8849, a Chinese smartphone brand known for rugged devices, has announced the 8849 Tank 4 Pro, which blends power and protection, following earlier releases such as the 8849 Tank 4, and Tank 3 Pro.

Its newest device combines a 720p DLP-class projector with 100-lumen brightness and a 64MP night vision camera, as well as a 50MP main camera and a 50MP telephoto lens - and there's even a 32MP front sensor for selfies.

More than just durability

Built to be as smart as it is tough, the Tank 4 Pro features a 6.73-inch AMOLED display delivering 3K resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Powering the device is MediaTek’s Dimensity 8300 chip, supported by 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.

The 8849 Tank 4 Pro also sports dual camping lights, IP68 water and dust resistance, and a massive 11,600mAh battery. The battery supports 120W fast charging, helping users stay off the grid for days.

This rugged smartphone's connectivity is just as strong, supporting Wi-Fi 6, dual SIM, and compatibility with GSM to 5G NR networks, reaching download speeds of up to 2.34Gbps.

The device easily meets expectations as a rugged tablet replacement for those who prefer portability without sacrificing endurance. It is not just a simple rugged phone but more like a survival kit.

While pricing and availability details are still under wraps, a review sample is expected to arrive on our desk very soon.
