ASUS ROG Family Bucket Collector’s Edition Featured
ASUS ROG

ASUS’ Republic of Gamers brand is celebrating its 20th anniversary by bringing a five-figure collection of its coolest gaming hardware. The company just revealed pricing for its ROG 20th Anniversary Family Bucket Collector’s Edition, a monster bundle that costs 112,026 yuan, or roughly $16,578. The collection is apparently selling through an offline flash sale in Shanghai from June 20 to July 19, with buyers being selected through a lottery system.

This is more than your typical PC upgrade. ASUS is selling you the whole ROG lifestyle starter pack, which will attract collectors after their next limited edition bundle.

What’s inside the near-$17,000 ROG bucket?

The bundle includes around 10 products from the ROG Edition 20 collection, covering far more than a simple desktop setup. The headliner is a high-end system based around AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 and ROG’s anniversary hardware stack. You also get the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 20, ROG Crosshair X870E 20 motherboard, ROG AIO 20, ROG Phantom Blade DDR5 RGB 20, ROG GR20 20 case, and a ROG Thor 3000W Titanium 20th Anniversary Edition power supply to round-off the ultimate ROG PC setup.

Outside of the desktop, ASUS is surrounding your table with some gorgeous peripherals. This includes a powerful WiFi 8 router, mouse, keyboard, monitor, gaming chair, and even ROG-branded luggage. Since you’re anyway spending more than $16,000 on anniversary gaming gear, obviously, your suitcase should also look like it came from the same boss fight.

It looks special too

ASUS did not build Edition 20 as a subtle collection. Its official ROG anniversary lineup includes black, red, and gold commemorative designs across components, PCs, peripherals, displays, accessories, and collectibles. The ROG Astral RTX 5090 Edition 20 gets a curved AMOLED display and beefed-up cooling, while the ROG Crosshair X870E Edition 20 brings a 24+2+2 power-stage design, support for up to nine M.2 slots, and integrated cooling. The ROG G1000 Edition 20 desktop goes even harder with up to a Ryzen 9 9950X3D2, RTX 5090 graphics, up to 128GB of DDR5 memory, and a flashy AniMe Holo fan system.

This is definitely not the value purchase. For the same money, most gamers could build a monstrous PC, buy a high-end OLED monitor, grab premium peripherals, and still have cash left over. But that’s not really what ASUS is going for. This is the ROG fandom’s collector-grade bundle.

Microsoft is adding a warning for users who start replying to an older email after a newer response has arrived in the same conversation. The alert is meant to stop people from replying without seeing the latest information in the thread.

Google just changed how it grades the AI models you use for Android coding
Android Bench has a new testing framework and eight new models, so the rankings you remember are now out of date.
Android Bench featured.

Google just changed how it measures which AI models are best at writing Android app code, and the update has shuffled the rankings developers use to pick their tools. The company's Android Bench leaderboard, which launched in March, now runs on a new testing system called Harbor. Google says this replaces the older, more generic testing tool it used before, and gives a better read on how models perform on real Android tasks, like updating old code to Jetpack Compose or handling wearable device networking.

New models shake up the top of the list

ChatGPT is coming for one of Google’s smartest Chrome features
OpenAI brings ChatGPT to Chrome to challenge Google's Gemini Side Panel
OpenAI

OpenAI is expanding ChatGPT beyond its website with the launch of a new Chrome extension that can understand the contents of the webpage you're viewing. The extension allows users to ask questions about a page, summarize articles, explain complex concepts, and even kick off longer AI-powered tasks without leaving their browser.

The move positions ChatGPT as a direct competitor to Google's Gemini in Chrome, which introduced similar context-aware browsing features earlier this year. While both tools aim to bring AI directly into web browsing, they take slightly different approaches to productivity and automation.
