The Most Intriguing Tech From Computex 2025
If Computex 2025 has demonstrated anything, it's that the line separating imagination and reality in consumer technology is increasingly blurring.
It’s not unusual to see tech that makes you do a double-take, especially at events like CES or MWC. With Computex, there's just something about the hardware-first focus that forces you to rethink how we interact with the tools around us. Some of these innovations aren’t just flashy; they actually change your perspective on how things should work.
And like any event, a few products stood out—not just for what they do, but how they do it. Here's Techloy's pick of the most intriguing tech from Computex 2025.

1. MSI’s MEG Vision X AI - An AI Powerhouse With Its Own Display
What debuted as a concept at Computex last year is now a full-fledged product. MSI has officially launched the MEG Vision X AI desktop PC at Computex 2025, and it’s as bold as it is expensive.
This flagship gaming rig blends raw gaming performance with built-in AI functionality, anchored by a 13-inch front-facing touchscreen, dubbed an AI HMI (Human-Machine Interface).
We have seen screens on PCs before, but more than a gimmick, this screen is where things get smart. Beyond just showing current temperatures and other system specs, it acts as an intelligent control centre for system management that lets you toggle between preset modes like Gaming, Work, Meeting, and Entertainment. You can launch ChatGPT, Gemini, Meta AI, and even browse the web—all from the front panel, no extra monitor required.
And it is a monster for gaming. With an Intel Ultra 9 285K CPU, Nvidia RTX 5090 graphics, and 64GB of DDR5 RAM, this rig packs enough firepower for AAA gaming and AI development alike. At $7,500, it’s an investment—but given that RTX 5090 cards alone are selling for up to $4,000, it suddenly makes more sense.
But this isn’t just for gamers. MSI is positioning the MEG Vision X AI as a full-fledged AI workstation. Beyond its local MSI AI tools, it can run other AI models like Llama 3 and DeepSeek, supports voice control via MSI’s AI Robot assistant (powered by MSI and Nvidia), and even manages system settings through natural language commands.
2. Asus ROG's Split Keyboard for Gamers
It’s not every day you see a keyboard that looks like a pair of nunchucks. But that’s exactly the vibe Asus went for with the ROG Falcata, a split keyboard aimed squarely at gamers.
For starters, the right side of the board can be completely removed. If your muscle memory only lives in W, A, S, and D, you won’t miss a thing. The keyboard is fully wireless and uses magnetic switches, which deliver a crisp, satisfying response with every press. Asus claims it can handle up to 100 million keystrokes, which honestly sounds like a challenge gamers would be happy to take on.
Ergonomically, the split design also means you can angle the keys exactly how your hands prefer. It's gamer-first thinking, functionally smart, with a bit of flair.
3. Acer’s Earbuds For Translating in Real Time
Acer had a lot going on this year with wearables, smart rings, concept devices, but one thing that stood out was their new AI-powered earbuds that can translate up to 15 foreign languages in real time. What makes them even more impressive is the two-way voice translation, even if only one person is wearing them. Whether you’re exploring new cities or navigating international meetings, you’re no longer tied to translation apps or awkward guesswork. It’s a subtle but big shift. You get all the benefits of cross-language communication without needing to pull out your phone or wear anything bulky.
4. Mini PC Like A Projector
While it is possible to imagine a mini PC in a box design, it feels out of the box, making it look like a projector. One PC at Computex took that design cue and ran with it. From the outside, it could pass for a projector, with a body that swivels and rotates like one, too.
But under the hood, it’s a full-fledged mini PC, and the best part is that the entire motherboard slides out from the back. Just slide it out and upgrade your memory or storage like it’s nothing.
It’s one of those low-key genius designs that's not just cool to look at, but actually built with user access and flexibility in mind.
5. MediaTek’s Digital Cockpit Is Next Level Control Center
If you’ve ever dealt with one of those slow, clunky car dashboards, where the GPS lags, the A/C is buried five menus deep, and nothing feels intuitive, you know how frustrating it can be just trying to stay in control. MediaTek’s partnership with Nvidia on digital cockpit flips that whole experience on its head.
Their latest setup stretches an 8K ultra-wide display across the entire dashboard, edge to edge. It handles everything: climate control, drive modes, navigation, lane guidance, and even real-time safety alerts, all powered by built-in AI and connected cameras.
It’s less of a dashboard and more of a command centre. The design is sleek, minimal, and seriously responsive. Whether you're cruising through city traffic or out on the open road, this kind of interface changes the way you interact with your car—no more clunky buttons, just smart, fluid control that adapts as you drive.
6. Acer’s PD243Y E and PD163QT Multidisplay Portable Monitors
The PD243Y E offers two 23.5-inch 1080p panels, stacked vertically with a sturdy hinge system that tilts up to 310 degrees. If you’re a day trader, remote worker, coder, or anyone juggling five things at once, this is the kind of setup that makes your workflow feel effortless. It’s clean, space-efficient, and actually portable.
For a more compact option, there’s the PD163QT: two 15.6-inch 1080p panels with the same vertical hinge concept. Both models support USB-C and mini-HDMI, so you can plug in no matter what device you're working from. Think of it as the ZenScreen Duo—but smarter, more flexible, and built for 2025 multitasking.
7. Quantum-Inspired PC Case: The iGame G-Helmet
Colorful's iGame G-Helmet PC case captivated attendees with its futuristic design. Crafted from 0.8mm aluminium panels cut with precision lasers, the case features silver-black nano-brushed surfaces that reflect quantum-inspired light effects, offering a spaceship command module aesthetic for high-end setups.
8. Noctua's Thermosiphon Cooler: Silent Cooling Innovation
Noctua introduced a prototype of its thermosiphon-based CPU cooler, marking a departure from traditional liquid cooling systems. This design eliminates the need for a pump by using a two-phase thermosiphon process, where fluid evaporates and circulates through density differences, then condenses and returns to the evaporator.
The result is a silent, reliable cooling solution without moving parts, aside from the fans. However, the design requires the radiator to be top-mounted due to its reliance on gravity.
9. MSI Claw A8: AMD-Powered Handheld Gaming
MSI unveiled the Claw A8, its latest handheld gaming device powered by the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip. The Claw A8 features an 8-inch Full HD display with a 120Hz refresh rate, up to 24GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD. Available in white and lime green, this Windows-based handheld aims to compete with devices like the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally.
10. Samsung UT One: Ultra-Thin OLED Display
Samsung showcased its UT One prototype, an ultra-thin OLED laptop display. By replacing the top glass substrate with ultra-thin organic and inorganic films, the panel achieves a 30% reduction in thickness and weight compared to conventional dual-glass OLED panels. This advancement allows for lighter laptops or increased battery capacity, aligning with the industry's shift from LCD to OLED displays.
11. Elgato’s Virtual Stream Deck: Control at Your Fingertips
Elgato announced its "Stream Deck Everywhere" strategy, featuring the Virtual Stream Deck (VSD)—a software-only version that brings customizable control pads directly to your desktop screen. Users can create interactive control interfaces accessible via mouse clicks or hotkeys, enhancing workflow efficiency. Initially available to Stream Deck hardware owners and select Corsair peripheral users, Elgato plans to expand VSD's compatibility in the future.
Conclusion
If Computex 2025 proved anything, it’s that the boundary between imagination and reality in consumer tech is getting thinner by the minute. This year wasn’t just about faster chips or prettier cases, it was about making technology more human, helpful, and a lot cooler.
We saw PC cases inspired by quantum mechanics, silent coolers defying traditional engineering, and earbuds translating languages on the fly. The most exciting aspect is that none of it felt out of reach. These weren’t just tech demos but glimpses of products we’ll be using soon.
