Up to 27 hours of battery life on a thing and light ultrabook is impressive, unheard of even, but that's what ASUS is touting with the launch of its new ASUS Zenbook S 14 laptop powered by the latest Intel 'Lunar Lake' Core Ultra processors.

As a Copilot+ PC, the ASUS Zenbook S 14 with the latest Intel Core Ultra 7 processor delivers around 47 TOPS of AI performance while supporting Intel Evo technologies like instant wake-up, enhanced Wi-Fi, and the aforementioned long-lasting battery.

According to ASUS, the shortened physical distance between the RAM and CPU has led to better cooling, better efficiency, and even faster RAM, with the ASUS Zenbook S 14 featuring 16GB or 32GB of LPDDR5X memory clocked at 8,533 MHz.

SCHENKER has just unveiled its monster new desktop replacement laptop, which features the flagship Intel Core i9-14900HX processor, and not one but two Thunderbolt 5 ports offering 80Gbps of bandwidth.

Acer debuted a very cool concept at the IFA conference in Germany, the Acer Project DualPlay gaming laptop. As the images showcase, the large touchpad doubles as a game controller that pops out - where, after flipping it around, you've got a traditional gamepad. Another interesting feature is that it includes 5-watt pop-out speakers on either side of the laptop to create a more immersive audio experience.

"This Predator concept embraces the latest gaming trends, unleashing a new dimension of versatile and shared PC gaming experiences that converge in one powerful device," Acer writes in the press release. As a potential Predator gaming laptop, we'd love for this to get an actual release, as the integrated controller concept is fantastic.

The controller is wireless and charges when you pop it back onto the laptop's 'electromagnetic lock.' It can also be separated Nintendo Switch style and turned into two controllers.
