Most of the unused real estate on a laptop has never really been a problem worth solving. The palm rest just sits there, flat and inert, supporting your hands while the screen above does all the actual work. Compal, the Taiwanese ODM behind a string of forward-looking laptop concepts, decided that was a waste of space...

Xiaomi has just entered the Gran Turismo world with its Vision Gran Turismo (VGT) concept car at Mobile World Congress 2026. This electric hypercar follows the reveal of the SU7 Ultra supercar that was developed last time around. This year’s event saw the hypercar, which Xiaomi claims is sculpted by the wind. The...
