Computex day 3: the most eye-catching tech from the world's biggest computing event
Computex is sailing towards the finish line for another year. The show is wrapping up its fourth day, so this is our whistle-stop look at what caught our eye during day three of the event. With most of the big announcements out of the way, we've given out our picks of the best products of Computex 2025 here, but there are still a few items that got our pulses up that didn't make the list. Like an incredible sim racing rig, a custom PC build that looks like a tank and a pair of earbuds that promise real-time language translation. So, let's take a look at what caught our eye on day three of the show. This all-new racing rig from Asetek is several months away from release. And while our resident sim racing expert Jason England got some time with it, we're still not allowed to tell you what it's called. According to Jason, it feels incredible to sit and drive in, but the real kick here is its price. With everything included (such as its wheel, wheel base, pedals and the seat to connect it all to), it'll be land at $1,000. Pricey? Yes, but from what it offers, you'd find other rigs cost twice as much — if not more. This gaming rig from Asus is an interesting proposition — it sports an RTX 5060 Ti GPU and an Intel Core i7-13620H CPU. The latter is a mobile processor made for laptops, so it's very weird to find it tucked away in a gaming desktop. It might seem strange, but there's method to Asus' madness. By bringing these two components together, the company can keep the cost down (it's looking locked at $1,099), and therefore use other high-quality components that would normally be too pricy to include in a budget gaming PC. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Of course, we'll need to wait and get our hands on it for some proper testing to find out if that laptop CPU and desktop GPU combo works out. We were marvelling at the custom PC builds on the show floor in yesterday's roundup, but this one takes the prize. It's a custom tank mod case from Thermalright complete with movable wheels. All of its ports and components are situated on the back, including its power switch, but the real fun is how it was made. Taking over three months to manufacture, it's built with 500 individual CNC parts and comes with that gamer-ready RGB glow on the railguns. Those who follow the world of Computex closely may recall MSI's MEG Vision X AI desktop PC from last year's show. Back then, it was just a concept; now it's the real deal. The form factor is the same: it's a gaming PC with an AI-powered touchscreen display on the front. But now we're playing with power, so to speak. For 2025, MSI has packed it with an Intel Ultra 9 285K processor, an Nvidia RTX 5090 graphics card and 64GB of DDR5 RAM. It means the $7,500 price tag isn't as hard to swallow as it may appear. My colleague Anthony Spadafora has been following this machine from concept to reality and got some serious hands-on time with it on the show floor this year. Acer can lay a strong claim to the MVP at Computex this year, the company is absolutely killing it with some solid new products. Alongside its new laptops and a smart ring, it also revealed an all-new pair of earbuds designed to break down language barriers. The Acer AI TransBuds offer real-time translation through earbuds, using AI-based speech recognition and semantic analysis, so you can have a two-way conversation in two completely different languages and know what the other is saying. And there's no overly long, awkward delay, either. Unfortunately, the company didn't give us any word on pricing or availability, but the Acer AI TransBuds look to be a must-have travel accessory in the future.

Meet the weirdest gaming PC I've ever seen — desktop GPU with a laptop CPU!?
Computex 2025 has plenty of surprises up its sleeve, and Asus just revealed one of the strangest one's yet — a gaming PC with a desktop GPU and a laptop CPU. The Asus TUF Gaming T500 is a new gaming desktop that pairs an Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti desktop GPU and an Intel Core i7-13620H CPU. Notably, that's a mobile processor made for laptops, but it somehow found its way into this gaming PC. As with all Intel CPUs, that "H" in the CPU model name indicates that its a high-performance mobile chip, typically used in gaming laptops and for notebooks made for demanding productivity tasks. It isn't new, as it released back in 2023, but it's still used in more budget-friendly machines. Asus' TUF devices focus on value, and this certainly appears to be the case with the TUG Gaming T500. Whether its to cut costs or to fit its components into a smaller chassis (despite that RTX 5060 Ti taking up space anyway), the desktop gaming PC boasts a mobile processor — and it's set to be priced around $1,300. It's the weirdest desktop I've seen, and yes, there was audible confusion during the breifing when Asus said "this has a laptop chip." But the Asus TUF Gaming T500's peculiar Intel mobile chip does offer higher wattage going through it as part of a desktop, as an Asus representative said. Otherwise, this is your usual gaming PC with a mech anime-inspired aesthertic and full Aura sync support for RGB lighting. You'll also find up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM, PCIe Gen 4 storage, custom heatsinks with copper heatpipes, a 90mm cooling fan and MIL-STD-810H military standard durability. There's no explanation as to why there's an Intel mobile processor in the TUF Gaming T500, but I bet it will have something to do with its cost. While there's no official word on when it will be available yet, this Asus desktop is sure to cater towards budget gaming, like the MSI Codex R2 (around $1,230). Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. We got a chance to see it on the showfloor, although not in action. It's a compact gaming PC, and with its RTX 5060 Ti onboard, it will deliver strong performance for 1080p gaming — especially with boosts from DLSS 4. It makes it ideal for single-player games, with frame rates going beyond 100 FPS at max settings thanks to Multi Frame Gen. How it will perform with a Intel Core i7-13620H laptop CPU? We're unsure, but if it pulls off the solid, pocket-friendly performace as with the MSI Cyborg 15 we tested (which currently sits in our list of best gaming laptops), then Asus may be onto something. Once we get a chance to try out this odd mix in the TUF Gaming T500, it may make it as a budget pick in our list of the best gaming PCs. Or, you may just want to opt for a desktop CPU that will generally offer better raw peformance. Either way, this is not a desktop I expected to see at Computex 2025, and neither was Acer's first-ever smart ring.
