2026 marks the 30th year for Lexar and they started CES off with an announcement that they were going to be the global storage partner for the Argentina National Football (Soccer) Team and launched a number of AI focused storage devices.
According to CES 2026 material there were over 4100 exhibitors registered to attend along with several unknowns looking to take advantage of CES by hosting their own events in area hotels. It is not practical to see everything but with a good pair of shoes and a crisp Pepsi I attempted to do the impossible.
Pro Gamers Group was available at CES showing of some of the latest products available in their catalog including a number of ultra light mice, a racing chair and some rather impressive GPU waterblocks.
A big concern with many enthusiasts is knowing if their 12VHPWR cable connection is going to burst into flames and make the evening news. Well, with this new PSU from Cooler Master you'll be alerted to impending danger before the system shuts down for safety.
There are several unicorns when it comes to computer hardware and while most are considered unobtainium a few stand as consumer hot rods. The MSI Lightning series of video cards are not only fast but have the hardware to push the limits.
As expected, ASUS was showing their latest generation of RTX 50 Series graphics cards and, in what seems like a common trend across all of the hardware makers, there is a new product segment for “ultra high-end graphics cards” called ROG Astral.
Yeyian was showing a variety of gaming products and peripherals during CES 2025 including the Yeyian Avance 40” Curved IPS Widescreen UHD monitor. This monitor comes with a 120hz refresh rate and resolution of 5120x2160 while casually sitting on an adjustable computer filled stand desk.
There were two types of products discussed during Computex. The big one was AI and the insane builds required to run those workloads followed by CAMM2 memory modules. Just about every memory vendor had modules on display and just about every motherboard maker has boards to support them however, MSI was the only one sharing their vision.
When I established Ninjalane and later Hardware Asylum the goal was to feature high-end and hard to get computer hardware. Over the years this has served me well and allowed me the chance to deep dive into some of the best motherboard designs on the planet. However, that never made me rich which seems to be a trend with the products on display by Gigabyte during Computex
I remember when Cloud Computing was a popular subject at Computex there were cloud specific motherboards available from ASRock and the same was true during the Cryptomining craze. As a result it would seem out of character if ASRock was to skip AI and, you would be right.
