In addition to the TITAN and GUARDIAN SKUs announced earlier this month, Sparkle is working on several other SKUs. The roadmap includes the low-profile version of the Arc B570, as well as the Arc B580 ROC OC Ultra, which is expected to come with a 2,800 MHz GPU factory overclock and 210 W TBP, both coming next year.

According to the roadmap, Sparkle plans to release the B580 ROC OC Ultra version in February 2025, and this one will be a part of Sparkle's ROC Luna series, featuring an all-white design. As said, it gets a 2,800 MHz GPU factory-overclock, which is 60 MHz higher than the Sparkle Arc B580 TITAN OC. It also has a slightly higher 210 W TBP. Sparkle included a small picture showing a 2.5-slot thick design with a dual-fan cooler. Additional roadmap also confirms the launch of the Arc B570 Low-Profile version, which will feature a lower 170 W TBP and a three-fan cooler, similar to what we have seen from GUNNIR lately.

It's been public knowledge for a while now that Lenovo is planning an imminent successor to its Legion Go handheld that has proven rather popular among handheld gamers. Previous leaks and rumors indicated that the Legion Go S 8ARP1, as it will apparently be named, will be a more affordable version of the current Legion Go. Now, thanks to Roland Quandt, Windows Central, and WinFuture, more details about the upcoming Legion Go S have leaked, including images of the device, supposed specifications, and a potential price.

According to the leaks, the new affordable handheld gaming PC will feature some substantial hardware changes, including a slightly smaller eight-inch display, this time with a much lower 1920 × 1200p resolution and a slightly lower 120 Hz refresh rate. Gone, too, are the Nintendo Switch-style detachable controllers, with the Legion Go S instead featuring a white unibody design. What's more interesting than the leaked images of the Legion Go S or the hardware changes—detachable controllers or not, the Legion Go is still intended to be used as a handheld—is the new AMD APU that will seemingly power the Go S. The as-yet unannounced AMD Ryzen Z2G looks like it will be an odd core configuration featuring an AMD Radeon 680M iGPU and Zen 3+ cores. Ultimately, the APU seems like it will put the Legion Go S somewhere between the current-generation Legion Go and devices featuring the AMD Ryzen Z1 (non-extreme), which is a good place to be if Lenovo hopes to compete with the likes of the Steam Deck OLED, which will seemingly cost around the same as the Legion Go S, depending on which region you are in.

In addition to its range of QD-OLED monitors, MSI was showing a pair of more traditional gaming monitors at Computex. The first one is the MPG 321CUPF which is built around a dual-mode VA panel, which should be one of the first of its kind. It can do either 4K at 160 Hz or 1080p at 320 Hz, both with a 0.5 ms response time. The panel has a 1500R curvature, but somewhat disappointingly, it's only DisplayHDR 400 certified, suggesting it's an edge lit display. It has a pair of HDMI 2.1 inputs, one DP 1.4, one USB Type-C with DP Alt-mode and 15 Watts of USB PD charging and a headphone jack. It also has a console mode which is a 120 Hz 1080p or 4K mode for consoles. According to TFTCentral, it will retail for US$500, but there's currently no fixed launch date.

The next model on display is the MAG 274URFW which is a 27-inch Rapid IPS panel, also with 4K resolution and a 160 Hz refresh rate and a 0.5 ms response time. Connectivity and overall features remains identical to the MPG 321CUPF, but MSI has also thrown in AMD FreeSync Premium here, something that the company hasn't listed as a feature on any of the other models it was showing at Computex. No word on pricing on availability on this model, but as per the picture below, the MAG 274URFW will be avilable in white. MSI also announced some productivity monitors, all of which come with at least a 100 Hz refresh rate, which is refreshing to see (pun intended), since most productivity monitors tend to be stuck at 60 or at best 75 Hz.

At Computex 2024, Colorful has introduced a new PC series of premium componentry for games, called iGame Ultra Series.
