If you have an Asus computer, you’ll want to check if your device was among those affected by the recent “Shadow Hammer” malware attack.

Pretty much every notebook computer on the market today ships with a touchpad to move the mouse pointer around the screen. And we've seen those pads become larger with new materials used to make them smoother and more comfortable to use. But Asus has gone one step further with their new ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 (UX580), announced at Computex yesterday. They've made the touchpad into a second touchscreen display.

A 2-in-1 device that uses AI for smarter charging, that can also be rotated horizontally, vertically, laid flat, and with a keyboard that automatically tracks your hands while you type. That's Project PRECOG, a new device from ASUS due to ship next year.

Most smartwatches generally do two main things: they work as a watch, and they work as a fitness tracker. At Computex 2018, ASUS announced they were tackling a different market: a smartwatch that doubles as a blood pressure monitor.

Is it awesome or awkward when your router has more grunt than your notebook? Well, depending on how old your laptop is and your fondness for $700 networking hardware, this unusual dream can be yours via ASUS' upcoming Rapture GT-AC5300.

You can build a perfectly good loungeroom / home theatre PC and completely skip a discrete video card. That said, if you want your machine to have enough grunt to run most games at reasonable settings, it can be wise to shell out for a decent GPU. MSY is currently selling ASUS-branded RX460s for $119, a nice discount on hardware that usually retails for $150 or more.

As someone who lives and works in a city, I witness just how scarce space is becoming on daily basis -- from fitting more people into an office to apartments.

People like me need smart solutions for this problem, including when it comes to tech. Anyone who is passionate about their rigs don't want to compromise on specs to save space. And we don't have to.

It doesn't matter if you want a computer the size of a card, a thumb drive or dice box -- there's a manufacturer out there that has you covered. You can now count ASUS in that mix, with the launch of its "Tinker Board", a Cortex-powered mini-machine aimed at the Raspberry Pi crowd.

My family is big on Christmas movies. We always made a big deal out of it when I was a kid.

Even as an adult I enjoy being able to go home for the holidays to watch some of the heart-warming classics -- Die Hard, Home Alone and Batman Returns.

My love of a good, bloody holiday flick may not have changed, but my tolerance for excruciating summer heat definitely has.

Apple recently discontinued its standalone Thunderbolt display, which sucks because it was one of our favourites. To soothe the wound, here are some of the best monitors we've found to replace Apple's dearly departed display, most of which offer similar features without the price tag.

Computex 2016 in Taipei is wrapping up over the weekend. It's one of the biggest technology trade shows in world and vendors have spent the past week flogging their latest wares, eager to impress the crowds with new gizmos and computer offerings. Here are some of the highlights from the show.

I've been a fan of ASUS' ZenBook series since the UX32VD, which packed not only a good CPU and discrete GPU (in the form of the 620M), but had upgradeable RAM and hard drive. The UX31A and its ilk was more questionable with its proprietary and failure-prone SSDs, but ASUS seems to have learnt its lesson there. But let's focus on what we have today -- the UX303UB, which comes with a 2.5GHz i7, 940M GPU, 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD -- all for less than $1300.

Imagine a PC in your pocket, free to carry anywhere there's a screen you can use to get your work done. Sure, a laptop works, but a PC-on-a-stick gives you serious freedom and flexibility. The Google Chromebit and Intel Compute Stick both sell that dream pretty hard. We took both for a test drive.

Windows 10 is finally upon us. If you're hunting for a new laptop that will run the latest Microsoft OS, we've assembled a list of the best models you can buy right now for under $1000. (Prices start at just $296!)

The end of financial year is great time to buy new tech gear. If you use your computer at home for work -- you may be able to claim your PC as a tax deduction. That applies to some students, too. Further, small businesses with total incomes less than $2 million can write off purchases valued under $6500 immediately in the year the cost occurred. So what new laptops/tablets are best for work or play? Here are some ideas.

When Google announced its Chromebox For Meetings solution back in February, it promised it would be released in Australia "later this year". It's now officially available -- but with a hefty "Australia tax" markup.

The newly-announced Chromebox For Meetings is what you'd expect from the name: a computer powered by ChromeOS and designed to be used in meeting rooms to host Google+ Hangouts. Right now it's a US-only product, but Google has said an Australian launch is planned later this year.

When the 2013 edition Nexus 7 went on sale in Australia late last month, it was only available in retail stores. If you prefer going direct, you're now in luck: from today, the Nexus 7 is also on sale through the Google Play store. Also revealed: Australian pricing for when the LTE/4G version eventually becomes available.
