I didn’t expect this mini PC that looks like a PS5 to be this powerful or customizable - and now I can’t wait to try it out

1 week ago | tomsguide.com | Anthony Spadafora

It’s not every day that a new mini PC comes along that wasn’t even on my radar. However, that’s exactly what happened with the upcoming Minisforum G1 / G1 Pro, which, with its white and black design and vertical orientation, sure looks a lot like a PS5 at first glance. After being spotted at the Japan IT Week Spring event in April, I finally got a chance to see it for myself in person at Computex 2025. In fact, it was sitting right next to the AtomMan G7 Ti I reviewed last year.

I watched this beast of a gaming PC turn into an AI power house - but the dashboard-like second screen is its coolest feature

Due to their more powerful nature, the best gaming PCs are as well equipped for gaming as they are for handling complex workloads. However, I never thought I’d get to see firsthand how a beast of a gaming PC would transform into an AI workstation. Last year at Computex, I got to go hands-on with the original MEG Vision X AI PC. However, at that time it was still a concept that showcased how useful having a touchscreen display on the front of a gaming PC could be.
I tried the updated Zotac Zone handheld and one big change makes it a true Steam Deck rival

One of my favorite handheld gaming PCs from last year’s show is back at Computex 2025 in a big way with seriously more powerful internals and a sleek all-white colorway. While we did get to go hands-on with the new AMD-powered MSI Claw A8 BZ2EM, this particular handheld is from Zotac. Last year at Computex, the Zotac Zone really impressed me with its symmetrical thumbsticks, gorgeous 7-inch AMOLED display, Hall Effect thumbsticks and triggers and a few other nifty features I hadn’t seen before.

Well, that’s exactly what MSI has done with its new 500Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor, which also has a nice trick up its sleeve to take the hassle out of preventing burn-in. The best gaming monitors keep getting faster and faster, and at Computex 2025, we’ve already seen loads of blazing-fast displays. For instance, our own Jason England went hands-on with the Zowie XL2586X+, which has an even faster 600Hz refresh rate.
I finally tried magnetic key switches, but I never thought I'd find them in a split keyboard that's also wireless

When I went to Asus’ headquarters to see all of their new products ahead of the first day on the show floor at Computex 2025, I wasn’t expecting a new keyboard to be revealed, especially a split one with magnetic switches. Oh, and did I mention it’s also wireless? Just like when magnetic Hall Effect sensors first made their way to the best PC game controllers, I’ve been itching to try out these new magnetic sensors that are becoming increasingly popular in gaming keyboards.

The promise of being able to play your console or PC games smoothly from anywhere in your home on your phone or tablet seems almost too good to be true. And unfortunately, for most people it actually is. Getting an identical experience to what you’d see on your TV or monitor with remote play is next to impossible unless all the pieces fit perfectly in place.
