Alienware has released four new gaming monitors at Computex. The highlight of the show is the world’s first 39-inch 5K OLED gaming monitor with RGB stripe technology, and if the specs are anything to go by, it might just be the most impressive display Alienware has ever made.

What’s special about the new 39-inch OLED monitor?

If you have ever used an OLED monitor, you know how good it looks. The problem is that OLED monitors’ lower peak brightness has always been their weak point in brighter environments. Alienware is fixing that with RGB stripe tandem OLED technology, which stacks independent layers of red, green, and blue elements to push peak brightness up to 1,300 nits without sacrificing the color accuracy and inky blacks that make OLED worth having.

The monitor also comes with a dual-mode design that lets you switch between 5K at 165Hz for open-world games and 1080p at 330Hz for competitive titles, without needing a restart. It features a 39-inch 1500R curved screen, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500, Dolby Vision, and a built-in KVM switch for anyone juggling multiple devices at once.

Burn-in is always a concern with OLED, so it’s good to see Alienware include intelligent pixel management technology to keep degradation in check, along with a three-year burn-in warranty. Pricing hasn’t been confirmed yet, but the monitor arrives in select Asian markets in late June, with North America and Europe getting it this fall.

What about the rest of the lineup?

Alienware also refreshed its popular 34-inch QD-OLED ultrawide, bumping the refresh rate from 240Hz to 280Hz, raising peak brightness from 1,000 to 1,300 nits, and adding a new anti-reflective coating that cuts glare by 30%. It goes on sale globally in July.

For gamers who want a meaningful upgrade without spending flagship money, there are also two new 240Hz curved LCD monitors. The 34-inch model costs $399.99, and the 32-inch comes in at $299.99, with both available globally in July 2026.

Qualcomm is set to ratchet up chip prices in September, and your next gadget upgrade could bear the brunt

I want you to sit with this for a second. Qualcomm, the company whose Snapdragon chips sit inside your Android phone and tablet, your Windows laptop, your Meta smart glasses, your Galaxy Watch, and your wireless earbuds, reportedly sent a letter to every major customer telling them prices are going up by double digits. 

The price hike will be in effect from September 1, 2026, a recent Bloomberg report claims. Essentially, all the companies placing their chip orders after that will pay a higher price.

Stop fighting with your roomie over outlets and get one of these multi-port chargers before you head back to school
One plug, zero drama, all your devices charged by morning.
Satechi ChargeView

Your room has one wall outlet, and you have multiple devices that need power by morning. Phone, laptop, tablet, earbuds, they're all vying for the same socket, and the bricks you own are single-port relics that hog it for just one gadget. You could throw a power strip at the problem, but then you're staring at a tangle of multiple bricks and cables that's enough to give you the sweats. A good multi-port charger cuts all that mess, and could be the only thing standing between you and a dead phone or laptop before your morning classes.

Back-to-school season is a smart time to buy one. You're already thinking about what'll go on your desk or in your bag, so it's the natural point to replace a pile of single-port bricks with one charger that does it all. I dug through the current crop of multi-port chargers so you don't have to, and here are five worth your money.

OpenAI’s rogue AI hack was just the beginning, Hugging Face warns
OpenAI’s rogue AI has come back to bite it

Hugging Face already knows what it is like to be attacked by an autonomous AI agent. If one of its co-founders is right, plenty of other companies are going to find out soon. Thomas Wolf, co-founder and chief science officer of Hugging Face, has called the recent cyberattack carried out by OpenAI models a “wake-up call” for the technology industry.

Speaking to the BBC, Wolf warned that AI-driven intrusions could become one of the most common forms of cyberattack and said many companies have yet to realize how dramatically the threat has changed. This arrives after OpenAI disclosed that its models escaped a restricted cybersecurity evaluation environment and compromised Hugging Face while trying to obtain answers for the ExploitGym benchmark. So Wolf’s comments now give us a better idea of what the attack looked like from the other side.
