ROG G11 Gaming Desktop Announced by ASUS
ASUS has officially announced its latest gaming desktop known as the ROG G11. The Taiwanese multinational computer hardware and electronics company has ensured that the ROG G11 packs quite a punch, with its included Intel Core i7-6700 quad-core processor, up to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 4GB graphics, and up to 32GB of DDR4-2133 memory. The ROG G11, which comes with Windows 10 preinstalled, also features other premium components, such as a Blu-ray disc writer drive, an Intel H170 chipset motherboard, an M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 solid-state drive, and 10Gbit per second USB 3.1 Gen 2. ASUS has built the ROG G11 inside of an aesthetically pleasing case, which boasts a futuristic spacecraft-inspired design, a red and black color scheme, and a customizable 8-million-color LED effects panel.
Although specifications of the ROG G11 are known at this time, ASUS has yet to unveil pricing for its latest gaming desktop.

Amazon Planning Smaller, Cheaper Tablet
Amazon is planning to release a new tablet targeted at budget conscious consumers with a release "in time for this year’s holidays." The tablet will likely have a 6" screen with an expected price of just $50 which would "make it one of the least-expensive tablets on the market and half the price of the company’s current Fire HD 6-inch tablet." Further rumors indicate that Amazon will also release tablets with 8" and 10" screens, though pricing figures aren't speculated yet. The new tablet will be less feature packed than those currently available in the Fire line, though it remains unclear just what areas have been cut most to hit the $50 price target. In order to help cut costs, Amazon decided to outsource much of the work to "overseas firms including Shanghai Huaqin Telecom Technology Co. and Taiwan’s Compal Communications Inc." rather than using its Lab126 unit.
