MSI stuck a holographic AI capsule to its new desktop.

Not to be outdone by Razer’s waifu capsule, MSI says it has a whole desktop “that doesn’t just run games — it responds, adapts, and engages.” Sigh! The company isn’t telling us how much it’ll cost, or if it’s a real product, but hints you can change out the LuckyClaw avatar for other third-party ones.

Acer’s new convertible laptop houses Snapdragon X2 chips and a garaged stylus.

Acer is leading off its early Computex announcements with a new 2-in-1 laptop, the Swift Spin 14 AI. It’ll pack Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Plus and X2 Elite chips when it arrives in the US in August (July for other regions), and it’ll also include a stylus stored its chassis. Neat.

Pricing is TBD.

<em>This is the first Spin 2-in-1 for Acer’s mid-range Swift line.</em>
<em>Starting configs will have the cheaper Snapdragon X2 Plus chip, but configurations with the X2 Elite will go up to 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of SSD storage.</em>
<em>The panel on all models will be a 14-inch 1920 x 1200 / 120Hz IPS touchscreen, with Wacom AES 2.0 stylus support (like Acer’s included pen). As for ports: HDMI 2.1, two USB4, two USB-A 3.2, and a 3.5mm audio jack.</em>

A roughly $300 laptop? In this economy?

This is Acer’s Aspire Go 15 AG15-Q31P, a budget laptop built on Qualcomm’s just-announced Snapdragon C platform. Acer didn’t share its price or release date by the time I wrote these words, but Qualcomm says the platform unlocks roughly $300 laptops — despite RAMageddon. Corners cut, surely. The specs we know are here.

Looks OK from here, right? (Two USB-C and HDMI on the other side.)
