This laptop concept features a rollable screen that expands horizontally

Compal Electronics

Compal Electronics has introduced the Infinite Laptop, a concept device featuring a display that expands horizontally from 14-inches to 18-inches. Unlike most expandable display concepts, which extend vertically, Compal’s design increases screen width, offering a wider aspect ratio that could benefit multitasking, content creation, and entertainment. The mechanism extends from both sides, ensuring structural balance and durability when fully deployed.

The laptop also features LED arrays on the lid, which can display notifications such as emails or system alerts. While not essential, this addition provides quick, glanceable updates without opening the device.

Compal is not the first to experiment with expandable laptop screens. Lenovo has introduced similar concepts, including the ThinkBook Plus Rollable and the recently showcased ThinkBook Flip, both of which explore different methods of increasing screen real estate while maintaining portability. Lenovo’s designs have focused on adding secondary or folding displays, whereas Compal’s Infinite Laptop aims for a seamless, side-expanding approach.

Notably, Compal has already won an IF Design Award for their innovation, suggesting that consumers can expect the concept to soon turn into reality. As an Original Design Manufacturer (ODM), Compal primarily develops prototypes rather than selling products under its own brand. The Infinite Laptop, like many of Compal’s past concepts, may serve as a reference design for major brands like Dell, HP, or Lenovo, who could refine and bring it to market. The company hasn’t shared any technical details, but it seems pretty obvious that the extending display will make use of a rollable OLED panel.

While it is uncertain whether this particular design will see mass production, expandable displays are becoming an area of interest in the laptop industry. As manufacturers explore new ways to enhance productivity without compromising portability, concepts like the Infinite Laptop could shape the future of laptop design, particularly for users who need larger workspaces on demand without carrying multiple devices.

Nvidia adds DLSS to six more games strengthening its lead in upscaling wars

Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology continues to expand rapidly with company bringing support to six additional games. The latest titles to incorporate DLSS features include Steel Seed, The Talos Principle: Reawakened, RuneScape: Dragonwilds, Tempest Rising, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and Commandos: Origins.

Steel Seed, a stealth-action adventure title, now includes support for DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation, offering notable performance gains for players using GeForce RTX 50-series GPUs.

AMD’s budget-friendly RX 9060 XT might be right around the corner

AMD took every ranking of the best graphics cards by storm when it released the RX 9070 XT, but many gamers are anxious for more budget-friendly options. Good news: The RX 9060 XT might not be far away now. On the other hand, another rumored GPU might be slipping through the cracks.

VideoCardz spotted some juicy scoop on Board Channels, a forum that often leaks news from AMD’s and Nvidia’s partners. Before we dive in, I have to remind you that the following is nothing but a rumor at this stage, so don’t get too attached to the date I’m about to share with you. With that said, I do believe that the RX 9060 XT can’t be too far off, so there’s still plenty to get hyped about.

Google might have to sell Chrome — and OpenAI wants to buy it

It feels like all of the big tech companies practically live in courtrooms lately, but it also feels like not much really comes of it. Decisions get made and unmade again, and it takes a long time for anything to affect consumers. At the moment, Google is in danger of getting dismantled and sold for parts — and if it really happens, OpenAI has told the judge that it would be interested in buying.

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, currently doesn’t work with Google at all. Apparently, it wanted to make a deal last year to use Google’s search technology with ChatGPT but it didn’t work out. Instead, OpenAI is now working on its own search index but it’s turning out to be a much more time-consuming project than anticipated.
