GIGABYTE's new AI PCs are slim, multitasking powerhouses for professionals

GIGABYTE ZDNET BrandX for GIGABYTE For the modern on-the-go professional, there are two non-negotiables when it comes to laptops: It has to be light, and it has to be powerful. Until recently, these two demands were in conflict. The lighter a laptop was, the less likely that it could make it through a long remote workday or a transatlantic flight without its battery dying or the entire system overheating. GIGABYTE's new AI laptops are powerhouse machines designed for gamers and creators, but

I Tried This $40 Smartwatch: It Was Meh, but Not a Complete Waste of Time

I wasn't expecting much when I first strapped the WITHit Giga Smartwatch onto my wrist, and at least it delivered on that. This $40 smartwatch does the basics: shows notifications, counts your steps, tracks your heart rate (sort of) and lets you take calls from your wrist. But the execution of all these features is where it all starts to fall apart, and I found myself getting exactly what I paid for. After spending a week testing it, I came away with this: If you just want a basic smartwatch th

Meta Is Building Massive Gigawatt Data Centers as It Pours Billions Into AI

Meta’s AI spending spree continues. After reportedly offering tens (or in some cases, hundreds) of millions of dollars to lure away top researchers from competing artificial intelligence operations, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced via Threads that the company plans to build several multi-gigawatt superclusters to ramp up its compute power. Zuckerberg said the first of the superclusters, called Prometheus, will come online sometime in 2026, with “multiple more titan clusters” to follow. According

Gigabyte motherboards vulnerable to UEFI malware bypassing Secure Boot

Dozens of Gigabyte motherboard models run on UEFI firmware vulnerable to security issues that allow planting bootkit malware that is invisible to the operating system and can survive reinstalls. The vulnerabilities could allow attackers with local or remote admin permissions to execute arbitrary code in System Management Mode (SMM), an environment isolated from the operating system (OS) and with more privileges on the machine. Mechanisms running code below the OS have low-level hardware access

Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT Review: Great Value Gaming

It's AMD's turn. After months of $2,000+ GPUs and long discussions of DLSS, we're finally on the red team's turf. AMD's strength historically lies at the budget end of the spectrum, where the majority of gamers are playing at 1080p, and spending $1,000 or less for their entire system. Even though we really recommend splurging on a GPU, that's just not the reality for most folks. An $800 GPU needs $1,200 in other parts, and at that point most people who aren't into PC gaming will start shopping
