Linglong, a Chinese PC maker, is taking mini PCs to the next level. Its latest offering is unlike any Windows PC available on the market. The Lunar is a 2-in-1 device that combines a keyboard with a mini PC. Essentially the company has created a folding keyboard and crammed an AMD-powered mini PC inside of it. When folded, the Lunar measures 6.02 x 4.3 x 1.18 inches and weighs less than 800 grams, making it easy to carry around in your pocket. The device also features a 59.2Whr battery that can last six hours (although rated for eight to 10 hours), while the integrated trackpad means you don’t even have to carry a mouse. As for the keyboard itself, the company has not shared anything about the typing experience and only mentions the use of scissor-style switches The built-in PC is powered by AMD’s Ryzen 7 8840U APU based on the Zen 4 architecture and can be configured with up to 32GB of LPDDR5x 6400Mhz RAM and a 1TB PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD. In terms of ports, there’s a USB 4.0 Type-C, a USB 3.2 Type-C, and a USB 3.0 Type-A. Wireless connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. The thermal system includes two heat pipes and a cooling fan while the CPU can operate at different TDPs of 10W, 15W, 30W, 35W, and 50W using the including tuning software. The same software can also be used to control the CPU fan speeds. The Lunar can be connected to a display using either of the USB Type-C ports and even offers support for AR and VR glasses. Additionally, the mini-PC can wirelessly connect to tablets and all-in-one PCs for a wireless multi-display setup or use a personal hotspot to access data stored on the device. The Lunar 2-in-1 folding keyboard mini PC is currently available on Kickstarter where pledges start at $579 for the 16GB + 512GB configuration. As for the 32GB + 1TB configuration, pledges start at $739. I wasn’t expecting a new version of Asus’ excellent ROG Azoth keyboard, but that’s exactly what I saw at Computex 2024. The aptly named ROG Azoth Extreme is an upgraded version of the base model, fit with a suite of changes and performance improvements worthy of the Extreme tag. As a certified keyboard snob that likes to mess with boards like the Meletrix BOOG75 and Keychron Q1 HE, the Azoth Extreme presents an interesting dilemma. It has all the hallmarks of a mainstream gaming keyboard, but with plenty of enthusiast guidance. In some ways, such as the adjustable gaskets, it even goes beyond what you can find in the DIY market.
A complete refresh In the past couple of years, we have seen desktop class graphics cards not only grow in terms of performance, but also their physical size. This has been a point of concern for enthusiasts who swear by the small form factor (SFF) design. While Nvidia’s lineup of GeForce GPUs come in a range of sizes, higher power and beefier cards mean more challenges for the small form factor industry. To address the issue, Nvidia has come up with a set of new guidelines for small form factor-ready enthusiast GeForce GPUs, which it shared at Computex 2024. According to the company, these guidelines will be given to GPU third-party board partners and case manufacturers to help make a common standard catering specifically to those who want a compact, yet powerful gaming rig. We’ve seen an influx of high-end gaming keyboards like the Asus ROG Azoth over the last few years, but Keychron has something different with the Q1 HE. It takes the wildly popular Q1 design and updates it with Hall Effect switches and a 2.4GHz wireless connection, taking the solid foundation of a mechanical keyboard and tricking it out with features built for gaming. The end result is a keyboard that feels as it good as it looks, and that comes with plenty of features in tow. Although it’s expensive at $220, you can’t find another keyboard around this price that boasts everything the Q1 HE does. However, you’ll have to deal with a few rough patches to unlock everything the Q1 HE has to offer.
