That couldn’t be farther from the truth, of course, and PC gamers, in particular, buck the trend when it comes to being more design-conscious than most desktop or laptop users. For example, they love seeing … Continue reading

Intel is seriously planning to crank things up with its 12th-generation KS-series desktop CPUs. On stage at the company’s CES press event today, Intel’s Client Computing head Gregory Bryant revealed that the KS chips will reach a whopping 5.5GHz on a single core. Of course, that’s while the chip is being stressed to reach a Max Turbo speed, so don’t expect that to be sustained for long.
Even better, Bryant said that the KS chips will also be able to go beyond 5GHz across multiple cores when they arrive this spring. That’ll be particularly useful for rendering and other demanding work, but both milestones should deliver some impressive gaming performance too.

Panasonic has trotted out all sorts of audio gear since reviving the iconic Technics brand in 2014. Recently, that list includes a smattering of true wireless earbuds and headphones, and at CES 2022, the company has yet another portable device ready to debut. With the EAH-A800, Technics has built a pair of hi-fi-ready wireless headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC) and claims of a whopping 50 hours of use on a charge.
The over-ear EAH-A800 packs in 40mm drivers that Technics says are the result of its experience building hi-fi audio gear. In addition to a new design and materials for that component, an Acoustic Control Chamber manages air flow to assist with driver performance and bass response. The company has also leveraged capacitor tech from its high-end amplifiers to limit distortion and maintain sound quality. The EAH-A800 supports LDAC for higher quality audio over Bluetooth, in addition to the typical AAC standard.
Technics/Panasonic
Technics promises “industry-leading noise cancelling” via a dual hybrid setup. An analog filter equipped feed back mic and a digital filter outfitted feed forward mic monitor unwanted clamor inside and out. The EAH-A800 also has Natural Ambient and Attention modes. The difference is that the latter makes it easier to hear voices while the former is a more universal transparency setting. Technics also provides multi-point pairing here, which will allow you to connect to two devices simultaneously over Bluetooth and easily switch between them.
The company is also making big promises when it comes to call clarity. Using a total of eight microphones, the EAH-A800 employs four to pick up your voice and four more to combat any environmental noise. Additionally, Technics says the feed forward mics are designed and positioned to reduce wind noise.
Perhaps the most impressive claim on the EAH-A800 is the stated 50 hours of battery life. Technics says you can achieve this figure with ANC on listening to AAC audio. If you are listening via LDAC, the company says you can expect up to 40 hours of play time. Disable noise cancelling on either sound codec and listening time increases by 10 hours. So if you’re willing to go without ANC or higher quality audio, you can get 60 hours of use out of these according to Technics. What’s more, a 15-minute charge will give you 10 hours of use (ANC on, AAC quality streaming).
The EAH-A800 will be available in black and white color options in February for $350 (£299/€349).

Following up on its Aonic 50 headphones that debuted at CES 2020, Shure announced a more affordable noise-cancelling option today. With the Aonic 40, the company offers a similar design to its premium model, maintaining adjustable active noise cancellation (ANC) and on-board controls with slightly more battery life than the 2020 version.
Though the Aonic 40 will debut at $150 less than its elder sibling did two years ago, the new model doesn’t look any less premium. Shure opted for a combination of aluminum and nylon, revising the silver and black or sliver and white/tan color schemes from the Aonic 50. The earcups on the 40 rotate flat and fold inward for easy storage, making them a decent option for travel.
Shure
Shure says you can expect its “iconic sound” alongside a fully customizable EQ via its ShurePlus Play app on Android and iOS. That software will allow you to save any created settings for future access. The app also allows you to choose between three ANC options as well as tweak the Environment Mode (ambient sound). Shure also says the software is equipped with a hi-res music player that works with the Aonic 40.
As is typically the case with headphones these days, Shure is hyping call quality thanks to dual beamforming microphones. On-board controls will allow you to easily answer those, in addition to volume adjustments and accessing both the ANC and ambient sound options. The company says you’ll get up to 25 hours of battery life with active noise cancellation turned on — up from 20 hours on the Aonic 50. Plus, a quick charge option can offer five hours of use in 15 minutes.
The Aonic 40 is available now in black and white color options for $249.

Smart speakers and smart displays are becoming a lot more common these days. This is because as more of us start to add smart appliances to our home, these smart speakers and displays are giving us new and better ways to control and manage them without us having to lift a finger.
If you’re interested in getting yourself a new smart display, then you might be interested to learn that Lenovo has recently announced the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential with Alexa Built-In. As the name suggests, this is a smart display that doubles as an alarm clock and also features Alexa integration.
This means that if you have any smart home devices that can be controlled using Alexa, then you will be able to control it using your voice through this alarm clock. The device features an LED display but unlike more traditional smart speakers we’ve seen, it appears that this display is only used to display the time, and there is no built-in webcam which is good news for those who might be concerned about privacy.
Speaking about privacy, the clock also has a mute switch to disable the microphones if you prefer. As it is also a speaker, users will be able to use it to stream their favorite tunes or listen to their podcasts right next to their bed. For those who want a bit of night light, Lenovo is also selling the Ambient Light Dock that you can place the Smart Clock Essential on top of.
The Lenovo Smart Clock Essential with Alexa Built-In is priced at $60 and will be available later this month, while the Ambient Light Dock is priced at $30 and will be available in Q2 2022.

Back in 2020, Lenovo took the wraps off their Smart Frame. This is essentially a display designed to look like a photo/picture frame that will let you upload photos to it so that it can be displayed. This is useful if you can’t decide on a photo or piece of art to hang on your wall and want to be able to switch it out when you need.
At CES 2022, Lenovo announced that they will be pushing out a software update for the Smart Frame in the first quarter of 2022. With this software update, Lenovo says that users will be able to support photos from Instagram, which means that if you typically upload your photos to Instagram, you’ll be able to display them in the Smart Frame.
This might actually be quite a useful feature, especially if you’re a photographer or artist and you want a way to showcase your work. It could even be useful for art gallery owners or restaurant owners who might be able to use these frames to show off photos that might have been posted by their customers, or have an ever-changing gallery to help keep things dynamic.
Lenovo had previously launched the Smart Frame on Indiegogo back in 2020 and it is currently available for purchase in North America and Australia.

The problem with gaming on a laptop is that you’re pretty much stuck with a single display. This is versus gaming on the desktop in which some gamers might have multiple monitors setup, where one monitor could be used for gaming, and the other for web browsing, reading, chats, and so on.
If you’re looking for that level of flexibility in a gaming laptop, ASUS is more than happy to oblige because at CES 2022, the company has taken the wraps off the ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo. This is a new gaming laptop from ASUS and one of the unique features of the laptop is its built-in secondary display.
This display sits right below the main display and is angled slightly upwards so that it faces the user instead of sitting flat like Apple’s Touch Bar. This is actually not the first time ASUS has incorporated a secondary display, but with the 2022 model, the company has made some improvements where the upwards angle now allows for better air intake.
The laptop itself features a 16-inch 16:10 display and users will have two display options to choose from: the ROG Nebula HDR with a QHD resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate, while the other is a Dual Spec which lets users switch between a 4K resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate, or a 1080p resolution with a 240Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, the laptop is powered by AMD’s Ryzen 9 6980HX processor, and will support up to 64GB of RAM, and NVIDIA’s RTX 3080 Ti GPU, making it a heck of a beast when it comes to gaming. There is no mention of pricing just yet, but given its specs and features, we don’t expect it to come cheap.

Unveiled at CES 2022 today, the M-badged version of the iX all-electric SUV commands 610 horsepower for its six-figure price tag, and – for the moment at least – will … Continue reading
