Asus brings Braswell processor to its fanless EeeBox E410 mini PC

Asus is launching a new model of its mini PC called the EeeBox E410. This new model comes equipped with an Intel Celeron N3150 Braswell quad-core processor. And as is the case with many of the latest mini PCs, it’s completely fanless, which makes it ideal for users looking for a PC to put in their living room or for businesses looking to use it in a conference room.

The specs of the new EeeBox are pretty solid. It starts with the aforementioned processor, which is supported by up to 8GB of RAM. For internal storage, users can choose between an HDD up to 1TB, or an SSD up to 128GB.

For ports, users will find two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, VGA, Ethernet, microphone, and headphone. There’s also 802.11ac WiFi on board.

While not the smallest PC you’ll find, this is definitely smaller than your average desktop, coming with dimensions of 8.6″ x 6.8″ x 1.1″. It’s also lightweight, coming in at only 1.5 pounds.

Asus seems to be aiming this PC at users who want a small device, but who also want a bit more power than what is usually found with most sticks, which tend to feature weaker processors and 2GB of RAM. They get the job done for watching videos and the like, but specs like those featured in the EeeBox are capable of running more intense programs.

Speaking of which, there’s support for two displays and the ability to output video in 4K, which is something the cheaper stick PCs certainly can’t handle. This opens up a lot more use cases, especially for businesses.

There’s a rotatable VESA-mount that allows the computer to be mounted directly to the back of a display, which is quite handy for using it in a conference room or even keeping it low-key in a living room.

The new desktop should be available soon, though Asus has not announced a final release date or pricing as of this writing.

AMD’s RDNA 4 may surprise us in more ways than one
AMD RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT graphics cards.

Thanks to all the leaks, I thought I knew what to expect with AMD's upcoming RDNA 4. It turns out I may have been wrong on more than one account.

The latest leaks reveal that AMD's upcoming best graphics card may not be called the RX 8800 XT, as most leakers predicted, but will instead be referred to as the  RX 9070 XT. In addition, the first leaked benchmark of the GPU gives us a glimpse into the kind of performance we can expect, which could turn out to be a bit of a letdown.

This futuristic mechanical keyboard will set you back an eye-watering $1,600
Hands typing on The Icebreaker keyboard.

I've complained plenty about how some of the best gaming keyboards are too expensive, from the Razer Black Widow V4 75% to the Wooting 80HE, but nothing comes remotely close to The Icebreaker. Announced nearly a year ago by Serene Industries, The Icebreaker is unlike any keyboard I've ever seen -- and it's priced accordingly at $1,600. Plus shipping, of course.

What could justify such an extravagant price? Aluminum, it turns out. The keyboard is constructed of one single block of 6061 aluminum in what Serene Industries calls an "unorthodox wedge form." As if that wasn't enough metal, the keycaps are also made of aluminum, and Serene says they include "about 800" micro-perforations that allow the LED backlight of the keyboard to shine through.

Google one-ups Microsoft by making chats easier to transfer
Google Spaces in Google Chat on a MacBook.

In a recent blog post, Google announced that it is making it easier for admins to migrate from Microsoft Teams to Google Chat to reduce downtime. Admins can easily do this within the Google Chat migration menu and connect to opposing Microsoft accounts to transfer Teams data.

Google gave step-by-step instructions for admins on how to transfer the messages. Admins need to connect to their Microsoft account and upload a CSV of the Teams from where they transfer the messages. From there, it requires just entering a starting date for messages to be migrated from Teams and clicking Star migration. Once it's complete, it'll make the migrated space, messages, and conversation data available to Google Workspace users.
