A tipster spotted a mention of “Van Gogh Lite” GFX 1040 graphics in what appears to be AMD driver code on Linux. This adds to the speculation that AMD will be launching Navi RDNA-powered APUs next year, with significant gains to GPU power.

The budget Asus laptop was decent when it launched for $399 USD, but now it's much more of a bargain at just $299 especially if you just want a lightweight, narrow-bezel laptop primarily for home browsing and video streaming.

The 10.4-inch mainstream tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is the small brother of the tablet flagship Galaxy Tab S6, but only half as expensive with starting prices of 379 Euros. The digital input pen Samsung S-Pen is still part of the “small” Galaxy Tab package.

Plagued by server issues, Torchlight III was supposed to come out as a free-to-play title but it surfaced on Steam Early Access with a US$30 price tag. Even without any other problems — and there are other problems — these two issues alone are enough to get a title buried under a huge pile of negative reviews.

The mysterious Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus has been spotted on yet another benchmark. This time, the still unconfirmed SoC was discovered being tested on Geekbench in an Asus ZF device, which was possibly the Asus ROG Phone 3. The single-core result showed considerable improvement over those managed by Snapdragon 865 phones such as the Xiaomi Mi 10.

Initial benchmarks have revealed just how powerful of an upgrade the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M is for the Apple MacBook Pro 16.

There was a time when Flash was the go-to standard for online content building and support. However, other standards such as HTML5 have outstripped it considerably in the ability to deliver AV and interactive apps of all kinds. Therefore, Adobe has announced a definitive EOL date for this once-ubiquitous relic of the internet.

While still not a threat to any decent currently available laptop dGPU, the Xe iGPU that will be featured in the Tiger Lake processors launching later this year should still be quite a significant improvement over the Ice Lake iGPUs. Our tests show that the Xe iGPU could even beat the Vega 8 iGPU in the Renoir APUs.

The Xiaomi Redmi 7 is yet to receive Android 10, eight months on from being upgraded to MIUI 11. The device has, in fact, never received an Android OS upgrade, and many handsets are stuck on outdated security patches. The latest update is little more than perfunctory support for the Redmi 7, too.

Huawei has now sent out an official document detailing which of its phones will receive the latest version of its skin, EMUI 10.1, globally. The list is rather scanty, though, and owners of the Mate 10 Pro, P20 Pro, and Y9 series are unlikely to take too kindly to it.

The 2019 Blade Stealth was full of compromises. Want a faster CPU? Then you'll be stuck with integrated Intel graphics only. Want a faster GPU? Then here's a CPU that's even slower than before. Thankfully, you won't have to make such unnecessary trade-offs anymore with the latest 2020 Blade Stealth.

Microsoft could be planning on releasing the Xbox Series X at a surprisingly low price of US$400 according to a tipster.

It seems Xiaomi is planning far in advance in regard to two of its most important products: the Mi Mix line and MIUI software. Both the Xiaomi Mi Mix 10 and MIUI 15 have been “teased” in images showing people taking part in a Xiaomi security and privacy awareness event. The mention of the Mi Mix 10 and MIUI 15 at least answer one burning question.

Android 11 is around the corner but while a host of Redmi Note 8 Pro owners wait for the Android 10 update, new information points towards the phone's chances of receiving the Android 11 being incredibly slim.
