Computex 2025 is in full swing, and we have taken a look at the gear being declared and what we thought it was best.
If this is your first hearing about Computex, it is a business show that takes place every year in Taipei, Taiwan, where computer manufacturers show their latest products and concepts. You will see everything from high power CPU to ergonomic keyboard.
Best Desktop CPU: AMD Threadraper 9000
Nick: When performance is a necessity and the dollar is not a concern, you can buy some of the best process CPUs, which are AMD’s threadraper CPU, which cuts the variants of their EPYC server CPU.
The new threadraper 9000 series comes in a few variants, with 64 core with the most impressive packing 128 threads. In a pinch, it can increase its core watch up to 5.4GHz. If you are ready to withdraw money, it supports up to 1 terabytes of RAM.
However, these CPUs are not just for gaming. They are designed for extremely demanded workflows, such as visual effects, complex physical simulation and working with AI models.
They will go on sale in July 2025, but have no words at their cost yet. Their predecessors cost anywhere between $ 1,500 and $ 5,000, and I hope it will be a few hundred dollars more.
Best Handheld PC: MSI Claw A8
Jordan: Handheld PCs are rapidly stealing limelight at computer trade shows, from steam decks to ROG colleague. This year in Computex, it is MSI Claw A8. With the claw 8 AI+ seen in IFA last year, A8 AMD Ryzen Z2 is the first hand on the scene to use the peak, especially designed for handheld chip. We have high hopes for Z2 extreme, so we are excited to see it to finally be shown to play.
This Ryzen processor kills a 1080p display panel with fresh rates of 120GHz, and it operates on 24GB RAM. The claw A8 draws its energy from the 80Wh battery, and its weight is about 27 ounces, which is slightly heavier than the 23.6-inges of the steam deck. Talking of steam decks, a problem is still holding the claws back, its stable support of windows on the steamos. We are not a huge fan of windows on the handheld, and some contestants have supported steamos.
Nevertheless, we are looking forward that when the claw arrives in A8 shops, possibly at the end of this year. MSI has not announced a price yet, but given the price point of other claw units, we are expecting it to break it $ 1,000.
Best Laptop: HP Omnibuk 5 16
Who: The idea of ​​most people of the “Perfect” laptop is the one who balances strength, smooth design, performance and endurance. This is what HP is targeting for its new OMNIBOOK 5 series, available in 14-inch or 16-inch models. These laptops are equipped with the 1920 x 1200 OLED display, up to 32GB and user-ripeless storage. However, the largest sales point battery can be life. They are powered by energy-skilled Qualcomm Snapdragon X series processors, and HP claims that they will provide local video playback for 34 hours.
While HP is giving them the position in the form of budget -friendly laptops, starting from just $ 799 in July, you are still feeling a premium with aluminum bodies and thin profiles. Both the 14-inch and 16-inch models have a solid array of ports including 59 w battery, privacy shutter with 1080p IR webcam, and two USB-C 3.2 and one USB-A 3.2. The USB-C port 65W supports charging. You will also get WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless connectivity.
Best Monitor: MSI Mpg 271QR QD-OLED X50
Nick: If you are in the market for a stunning gaming monitor, do not look beyond MSI’s MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50.
The monitor claims a 1440p resolution, which is rapidly popular, and the 500 Hz refresh rate is also sufficient to satisfy an eye-water-water-water-conscious gamers. To close all this, the performance is QD-Ald, which means that you will be able to expect vibrant colors and extraordinary contrasts. The combination of features makes it a monitor as well as compatible with competitive games such as the counterstreed (where the fresh rate can provide a small edge) as more cinematices that are more cinematic, which are more heavy on color and contrast.
To reduce the risk in burn in, MSI has added an “AI Care Sensor”, which will find out that when you are on your PC and when no one is around, power down. It also comes with standard OLED Care 2.0 features, which moves the pixel around and triggers a periodic “pixel refresh” every 16 hours.
It goes on sale for $ 899 on 17 July.
Best Motherboard: Asas Rose Crosshair X870E Hero Btf
Nick: Rog Crosshair X870E Hero BTF comes with what you expect on a top-chest motherboard in 2025. It has five m.2 slots for two PCIEE 5.0 lanes, your NVME SSDS (three PCIE 5.0 and two PCIE 4.0), two 5-gigabit ethernet port, Wi-Fi 7, and all Bells and all people.
The real standout feature is a special power connector next to the PCIE port. Designed to remove lewd cable from the way, the modified BTF 2.5 connector (GC-HPWR) can pass directly to your GPU directly to your GPU via your Moterboard, if your GPU supports it. 1000 watts are very impressive and more than enough to provide electricity to any consumer GPU on the market.
Such hidden connectors are rapidly common on the motherboard, but the BTF power delivery system of Asus is patented, so you will probably see it by other manufacturers at any time at any time at any time.
Best secondary: corsair makr 75
Krrish: I like the construction of the keyboard very much, but I have to accept, it is not the easiest hobby. If I had no one to help guide through a lot of steps on my first board, I don’t know if I would ever get through it.
Keyboard companies were not eager to make the process easier for beginners, but Corsair’s Makr 75 bare nakedbone keyboard kit appears to change it. This DIY kit gives you everything necessary to make your own keyboard, but also provides enough flexibility that if you want to tinker or upgrade with things in the future, you are more than free to do so. Even there is no need to download an app to customize your macrose or change your lighting, this is just icing on the cake.

Best Collection device: Important X10 Portable SSD
Jordan: Cruciel announced some new storage devices in Computex 2025, including an external SSD that caught our eye, X10. We are already shown in our favorite SSDs The X10 Pro, a first model designed for professionals. The X10 (without naming without naming) has a comprehensive appeal for us everyday as technical enthusiasts because it comes in more sizes and improves its rudeness, and we are eager to review it in the next few weeks.

Best Concept – Software: Elgato Virtual Stream Deck
Andrew: At first glance, the virtual stream deck appears to be a simple desktop widget system. But this is actually a capable of Elgato’s stream deck hardware, super-customizable adaptation-a simple keystroke brings a virtual interface in front of your screen, where you can quickly reach personal equipment, app shortcut, workflow, and more. In addition, you can do an unlimited number of virtual stream deck on your desktop at any time, or remove your virtual shortcut again to act as a type of Fox Hardware Deck for an external touchscreen display.
Most people will consider virtual stream deck as on-screen extensions of their hardware stream deck. More shortcuts, more fun. He said, I am mostly interested in portability that can provide this software. If my photoshop workflow hinges on hardware stream deck, for example, I may not need to take that stream deck with me when traveling. I can only use the virtualized version.
Elgato is virtual stream deck Available in betaYou can test it on MAC and PC today, but only if you own a hardware stream deck, a course skimtor alite wireless SE mouse, or a course xnene edge touch display.
Best Concept – Hardware: Zotac Magnus EN75060TC
Patrick: Zotac has created mini computers for a long time. In fact, mini PCs are away from a new category. However, this year announced that the Magnus N Line is definitely a game changer. It breaks the mold that is known to the mini PC and actually distributes a desktop-level performance in a compact form-fector.
The Zotac Magnus EN75060TC is a small 2.65-liter computer packed with the desktop RTX 5060 TI packed a core ultra 7 mobile processor. Yes, you read that right, this small powerhouse has a desktop-class graphics card. This is something that we expect to see in large systems, or even there are computers with an EGPU, but smaller than two bottles of coke.
Mangus n does not stop there, though. It also has two Thunderbolt 4 ports, five USB 3.2 General 2 ports, four total display outputs (three displayers and one HDMI), plus two 2.5 GB/S Ethernet Jack. Add this to its Wi-Fi 7 support, and support for both a m.2 NVMMMMMMMMMMMMME and M.2 SATA drive, this small powerhouse desktop, homelab computer, or mini workstation can become the new gold standard for a new gold workstation.
Sadly, we have no information yet what the cost of Zotak Mars is, but if the Zotack is able to make it cheaper, then I can easily see this thing flying from shelves for both consumers and professionals.
