Seasoned photographers know that the search for the right laptop comes down to far more than a list of individually impressive specs.

The Razer Blade 14 released just a few short weeks ago is aimed squarely at gamers. The headline on the Razer website is "the world's most powerful 14-inch gaming laptop."

Asus has announced the Zenfone 8 and 8 Flip smartphones which feature similar camera sensors, but the latter allows the rear camera array to "flip" up and act as the front-facing camera.

ASUS is going hard for creative professionals at IFA 2019. Not only did they announce a new 1600-nit ProArt Display that takes aim at Apple's Pro Display XDR, they also unveiled the ProArt StudioBook One: the world's most graphically powerful laptop.
Apple made a big splash with their Pro Display XDR, promising unmatched performance for creative professionals, but "unmatched" might no longer apply.

I just got back from Batanes as part of a large group of bloggers and other media people who were there to try out the photography features of the Asus Zenfone 3 line of mobile phones, courtesy of Asus Philippines. I was there mainly as a resource person on shooting the Milky Way, but I was intrigued about the possibility of pulling off Milky Way shots using a mobile phone.

Guess what camera was used to shoot the photograph above? A tablet computer. It was shot using the new ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime tablet, which features a camera with a 8-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor, an f/2.4 autofocus lens, an LED flash, and 1080p HD video recording. Looks like we'll soon be seeing a lot more people whip out tablets for everyday snapshots.
