The ASUS NX90Jq Laptop Sports a Sleek Design from Bang & Olufsen

By Dena Cassella Published January 5, 2010

We were pleasantly surprised when Asus revealed its new NX90Jq laptop today. Asus used Bang & Olufsen’s Chief designer to create its stunning aluminum coated laptop. The crisp 18.4-inch screen is nestled between two narrow speakers, while the dual-side touchpads look and feel like DJ-style turntables. It’s like a whole new computing experience.

So, here are some things you should know about this sleek Asus lappy: The 18.4-in 1080p screen is LED backlit, it has a Core i7 processor and Nvidia GeForce GT 335M graphics under the hood, it supports up to 1280GB of storage (with dual drives), it has a slot-in Blu-ray drive, and this lovely laptop is USB3.0 ready.

This is the GPU I’m most excited for in 2025 — and it’s not by Nvidia

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card.

The next few months will completely redefine every ranking of the best graphics cards. With Nvidia's RTX 50-series and AMD's RDNA 4 most likely launching in January -- and even Intel possibly expanding its Battlemage lineup -- there's a lot to look forward to.

But as for me, I already know which GPU I'm most excited about. And no, it's not Nvidia's rumored almighty RTX 5090. The GPU I'm looking forward to is AMD's upcoming flagship, which will presumably be the RX 8800 XT (or perhaps the RX 9070 XT). Below, I'll tell you why I think this GPU is going to be so important not just for AMD but also for the entire graphics card market.

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.
