The global notebook market is entering a new phase of competition as AI-driven products reshape demand, even as the broader recovery has fallen short of expectations. Apple is pressuring the low end with the MacBook Neo, while Nvidia is moving upmarket with the RTX Spark high-end AI PC.

Qisda Corporation is accelerating its AI strategy across its core businesses, with chairman Peter Chen saying the technology is still in its early stages but is already reshaping daily life and will have a greater impact over the next decade.

As Europe and the US fall short of expectations for the automotive electrical/electronic architecture (E/EA) transition, traditional tier-1 suppliers are accelerating diversification efforts to offset slowing automotive growth. Among them, France-based Valeo, one of the world's top-15 automotive parts suppliers, is leveraging its automotive expertise to expand into faster-growing sectors including AI data center infrastructure, defense, robotics and small-mobility solutions.

COMPUTEX 2026 is underway in Taipei, and this year's edition has distinguished itself with an unusually dense lineup of top tech company CEOs on the speakers' roster, according to Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) chairman James Huang.

Ennoconn, a Taiwan-based industrial PC (IPC) vendor, said on June 1 at a forum in Taipei that its physical AI business is expected to exceed NT$10 billion (US$318.93 million) in 2026, as it deepens ties with Austria-based smart IoT solutions supplier Kontron and expands commercialization.

On the first day of Computex 2026 in Taipei, Marvell Technology CEO Matt Murphy made a pointed argument to an audience of industry insiders: the next major bottleneck in AI infrastructure is not compute or memory; it is connectivity.

Nvidia used GTC Taipei on June 1, 2026, to unveil RTX Spark, also known as N1X, a new AI PC system-on-chip designed for native AI agent workloads rather than mainstream Windows PCs. The chip appears designed to fill a gap in consumer hardware that cannot reliably handle local, autonomous AI tasks.
