This June, the tech world’s main event is happening in Taiwan. While more headlines often come out ofCES, the consumer electronics expo that happens in Las Vegas in January,ComputexTaipei is a far more important show. Because it takes place in the land where many components and PCs are manufactured, companies can carry new prototypes right over from their corporate HQs and onto the show floor.
Some of the hottest companies in the PC space are based in Taiwan, including MSI, Asus, Acer, Gigabyte,Cooler Master, and ASRock. Major chip makers such as Intel, Nvidia, AMD and TSMC also have major footprints there. So, just by virtue of who’s exhibiting at Computex 2024, it promises to be an amazing show with lots of new revelations.
This is my first year at Computex since 2019 and I couldn’t be more excited to roam the show floors, visit the actual offices of some of the world’s most important companies, and find innovative and intriguing products I can share with you. I’ll be joined on-site by our A-Team of editors: Paul Alcorn and Matt Safford, along with frequent news contributor Anton Shilov.
Together, we have more than 25 years of experience covering this show. We are honored to have the privilege of being there and look forward to bringing you news that’s both surprising and thought-provoking. You’ll find all of our show coverage on theTom’s Hardware Computex 2024 hub.
