New Camera from Nikon

Nikon has registered a new N2324 camera. No one knows what this is yet (although many are hoping for a Z9 Mark II and some fear it’s an update to the Z30, a less popular offering).

We will keep on the watch for any new information about what this camera is.

Nvidia N1 Laptop Platform

The NVIDIA N1 is Nvidia’s forthcoming ARM System-on-Chip (SoC) designed for premium, slim laptops, featuring a MediaTek CPU, Blackwell-architecture GPU, and up to 128GB of LPDDR5X memory.

This platform seems to be targetted at  gaming and AI tasks, and may compete with RTX 5070-class laptops.

Leaks seem to indicate a summer 2026 launch of a laptop built on this platform (but this is not confirmed).

Intel Arc Pro B70 with 32GB GDDR6 VRAM

intel_arc_pro_b70 video card

We are very happy to see more competition in the video card space, along with relatively good prices in an era of price gouging.  Video cards with 32GB of RAM and relative affordability didn’t really exist prior to this card. There are of course disadvantages with going Intel over Nvidia, especially in the AI space, but Intel continues to iteratively improve their offerings on all fronts.

This card is out now, as of April, and is listed at $949/$999 depending on the brand.
