Need English version of this video please.
PS: If you suck at English, nothing wrong but a little humility accept that you are NOT GOOD and get somebody else do your job.

13:56 they got the wow they were looking for with this one. Probably not the most powerful but if the can design it for power and function it could be a hit.

I repeat dear consumers , do not get excited just like what u all included me doing to apple keynotes, years ahead they gonna charge $5000 for a phone and we happy to take loan n purchase it.
House we take loan …
Vehicle we take loan…
Now electric& electronic item we going take loan to own.
Taking loan mean we not having profit owning it instead the bank , the company are making profit.
I just owning the itemi can buy in cash nit taking loan. I not going to make Google , apple , Nvidia rich. I would not buying a phone tht can’t repair, no update, n charge $50000. It’s so funny nowadays this tech company shows their face to begin with.
Even a ram that’s made by some1 in factory, then some1 else they slap a packaging in sellit twice or trice the price. Back 20years I kept tracking this trend n prices it doesn’t make any sense at all the prices all these components to begin with.
Good luck selling ur item. 😂😅 With me .

Project Dualplay Mini looks very much like a design concept fresh out of CAD. Chassis way too thin to be holding both a keyboard and any performant hardware or cooling at the same time. Two hinges also means two more moving parts that will fail.

Ok that last item looks amazing. If I was rich I would ship that thing into my hands next day air just so people would drool when they saw me transition it on an airplane.

Huh, I’ve already got a steam deck and a powerful gaming laptop so I dont really need a hybrid of both personally…..but thats a sick design. If it ends up supporting E-GPU this would be a great option for people

The blackwell obviously is a barebone. with Ram and SSDs being as high as they are its not worth it. And the New Nvidia RTX spark will be too expensive to get any pc with it in there and buying it for a diy build will be too expensive as well

One of the worst presentations ever. One two 3. Even i can do better presentation as a marketing manager

10:03 I mean, the Thai guy was annoying but tolerable. You know, the kind of guy who always tries to take credit for things, but it got ridiculous when he interrupted the presenter just to repeat the same word the presenter had already used.
@edwardmasajage1058
September 4, 2026 at 6:31 pm
It’s hard to even focus on the products when the thai guy keeps interrupting. This is just a display of poor management in the background. The products seem good enough, you don’t need an emphasis guy 😢

Project dual play mini, Acer if you listening make this happen, needs to be Oled, should be 8.8inches would increase productivity and allow maybe space for a touchpad, needs to have at lease 32gb RAM and no less than an 100w battery with fast charging! If at least some of these are met, I’m getting one!
