After three years, Computex is finally back and in person, in all its glory. The biggest companies in the laptop and PC space, from Taiwan and elsewhere, are gathered in Taipei this week to showcase products they’re releasing this summer and throughout the rest of 2023.

We expect to see a whole bunch of refreshes to popular laptop lines, updated desktop components, and maybe even (dare we say it?) a CPU or two. Software services and artificial intelligence were a major focus of CES earlier this year, and that trend already got a massive boost from Nvidia’s keynote presentation.

If you’re interested in following the latest laptop news but can’t make it out to Taiwan yourself, never fear.

We’ll be on the ground in Taipei all week, catching keynotes, interviewing the big players, and getting our hands on some of the most exciting gadgets that you’ll see in 2023. Come along for the ride.

Or at least, it’s trying to. The company is working on a program called AI Artist, which it hopes to preload onto future MSI devices. You select a style (manga and realism are currently available), you select a size, and you type what you want to be drawn into a text box. Watch the wheel spin for a while, and AI Artist spits out an image.

I’m calling it now: We’re going to see more of this. It’s clear from walking around Computex 2023 that AI, and what it can do for consumers, is at the center of the conversation.
