Computex 2019

Monsoon may have decided to skip a large part of the last month but in the small city of Taipei, it was pouring.

Admittedly, not the one that involves water but it was raining gadgets that gave us a glimpse into the future of the ICT industry. We were at Computex and here’s our in-depth report from the show floor.

Things kicked off earlier than usual this time with Kingston demonstrating memory and storage solutions. Its sub-brand HyperX, however, had new products to show. For instance, the Alloys Origins Mechanical gaming keyboard now utilises HyperX’s own switches, which according to the company offers 45g actuation point, shorter travel time and is rated for up to 80 million lifetime clicks. The new Fury DDR4 and Fury DDR4 RGB feature plug-n-play support that allows automatic memory overclocking at standard DDR4 1.2V setting. The Cloud Alpha S comes with a dual chamber technology that ensures you get accurate audio in-game and even comes with an adjustable bass slider and a custom-tuned audio control box with HyperX 7.1 surround sound support. And finally, it’s the Cloud Orbit S gaming headset that takes advantage of Audeze’s magnetic planar tech to deliver 360-degree sound.

AI is not a buzzword anymore. Shuttle Inc. unveiled the EN01 series that takes advantage of artificial intelligence to learn and integrate with the 4G/5G technology for automated guided vehicle and driverless transport applications.
