Computex 2019 Day 3 Wrap-Up: Intel Brings Out the Prototypes

Never let it be said that we’re a tardy lot. Computex 2019 doesn’t officially end until June 1, but after visiting what seemed like every booth known to man and poring through countless announcements, we’ve named our Best of Computex 2019 winners. Click through for more info.

Fret not, sweet readers, for we’ll continue to write about its new components and peripherals and systems (oh my!) until Computex 2019 is but a hazy memory. You can catch up on our coverage from Day 1 and Day 2 of Computex 2019 by following their respective links; read on to check out all our coverage from Day 3.

Intel Bets on Dual-Screen Devices

Yesterday we said that large companies usually take turns in the spotlight during large conferences like this. Apparently one day wasn’t enough for Intel—the company also had plenty of products and prototypes to hold our interest a bit longer. One thing was perfectly clear: Intel believes that dual-screen devices are the future of computing. We aren’t quite as certain, but hey, what’s not to love from proofs of concept called things like Honeycomb Glacier and Twin River?

• Hands-On With Intel’s Dual-Screen Honeycomb Glacier Gaming Prototype
• Twin River: Intel Made a Fabric Dual-Screen Laptop
• Intel Replaces Compute Card With NUC Compute Element
• Intel Drops Optane Memory M15 SSD, Higher Capacity and Boosted Performance
• Intel's Touchpad of the Future Has an OLED Light Bar

The Best of the Rest

There comes a point in every trade show where our coverage stops having a unifying theme. The keynotes have been presented, the meetings have been had, and our editors were told to wander around the show floor to find interesting hardware. That means there’s a little something for everyone, whether they’re in the market for new mechanical switches or a limited run $1,000 motherboard.

• Gigabyte Shows Off Six Aorus X570 Boards for Ryzen 3000 CPUs
• MediaTek Reveals New 5G SoC With Arm's Latest CPU and GPU
• ASRock Unveils $1000 X570 Aqua Motherboard for Zen 2
• Adata's XPG Lineup Expands at Computex 2019
• Thermaltake Intros S-Series Cases, Pacific CL360 & Floe DX RGB Cooling Kits
• SteelSeries Reinvents the Key Switch for Apex Pro Keyboards
