Major retailers aren’t about to hand over all the shopping traffic to Amazon, just because it’s Prime Day. For instance, Newegg is embarking on the second round of its Fantastech Sale (between us though, this is pretty much a Prime Day deal, just by another name). Which is great news if you’re a gamer. Right now, you can get a whopping $400 discount on an Asus ROG Strix G 15.6 gaming Laptop. It’s only $900, down from its original price of $1,300. Game on!

What’s on offer is a powerful, versatile, upgradeable gaming laptop. ROG, one of the dominant names in the es-ports business, introduced the Strix to help gamers dominate in their field. This is a reliably kickass machine for every kind of gamer. And it looks great too.

ASUS really kicked up the design of this laptop. There aren’t many sleeker gaming laptops out there, but their efforts continued under the hood as well. A huge factor in gaming performance, and your ability to compete with the best of them, is keeping your machine cool. Using inspiration from their collaboration with BMW Designworks Group, Asus created their 3D Flow Zone, a new approach to cooling which you can witness through a window. Proper airflow halts interruptions and lag, which any gamer knows can not only set them back, but ruin the experience. The Strix G has dual N-Blade fans with 83 blades, plus super-thin fins which increase their cooling ability.

Another major factor in determining how well you’ll play is how well a laptop handles the games you’re throwing at it. What you need is a great processor and graphics card, and the Strix G has exactly these. It boasts the latest 9th Gen Intel Core processor and GeForce RTX graphics. It doesn’t get much better in a laptop. On top of this, there’s 8 GB ram and an entire TB of SSD storage. This laptop comes ready to play hard. We also love the trim bezel on the 15.6-inch screen, the ray tracing for the best possible lighting of your games, and the low-key LED lighting around the laptop’s periphery. You can customize this, too, and make it your own.

We’re seeing some fantastic Prime Day laptop deals and even some amazing Prime Day gaming laptop deals, but it’s difficult to find this kind of discount on a gaming laptop as advanced and versatile as the Asus ROG Strix G 15.6. Act now, and you grab a $400 discount on an Asus ROG Strix G 15.6 gaming Laptop. It’s only $900, down from its original price of $1,300. Up your game, while you still can.

Android desktop mode made me miss my laptop in record time
I tried writing and publishing from Google’s phone-to-monitor setup, and the future of mobile computing immediately started sweating.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Android 17 desktop mode has a very simple pitch. Plug your phone into a monitor, add a keyboard and mouse, and watch the slab in your pocket pretend to be a computer. I wanted to give that pitch a fair shot, so I tried using it for an actual workday instead of a cute demo.

The goal was boring on purpose: write an article, edit it, build the page in WordPress, upload whatever needed uploading, and publish the thing without running back to my laptop like a coward.

As AI turbocharges digital abuse, UK agencies urge parents to limit who sees kids’ photos online
The National Crime Agency and Internet Watch Foundation are asking parents to tighten privacy settings as AI-generated abuse material rises.
Social Media

Parents who post pictures of their kids online are being told to rethink the habit. The UK's National Crime Agency and the Internet Watch Foundation have issued new guidance urging families to lock down their social media accounts, warning that publicly shared photos are increasingly being pulled and altered by AI tools to create child sexual abuse material.

The two organizations say most parents have no idea this is happening. Criminals no longer need to contact a child directly to generate such material. They can scrape an ordinary photo and run it through widely available nudify apps.

I used ASUS’ dual-screen laptop as a portable creative station, and my desk PC started collecting dust
The Zenbook Duo might be the creator setup I wanted in college
Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

With laptops, brands are constantly in a balancing act between portability and workspace productivity. The ASUS Zenbook Duo UX8407AA tries to dodge that choice with a design that brings a whole setup in a compact form factor.

I used the Zenbook Duo as a creative machine, mainly with design apps, illustration work, writing, and multitasking. The model I tried runs on Intel’s Core Ultra 7 355, paired with 32GB of memory and a 1TB SSD. That gives it enough horsepower to handle Photoshop and Animate, for sketches and animations, and a lot more without breaking a sweat.
