As always In-win is present at Computex, often with some concept designs and some sort of crowd pleaser. This year we can compact that towards two keywords, spheres and wood.
Okay, this actually is a fairly brilliant idea. Everybody likes wireless mouses, but hates charging them. Corsair is jumping on that. They have a concept development project that involves a mouse-pad with one to several Qi charging zones. It's the same technology on say a Galaxy S6/7/8 phone for wireless charging.
There is lost to cover at Corsair, first off a couple of photos of the Corsair One. And yes, 350 USD gaming chairs my man, they are certainly comfy though.

There are lots of Series 200 motherboards on display and the focus seems to be the gaming lineup, also EK Aluminum cooled VGA cards and a very dandy Lighting when it is powered up.

Many expect Intel to answer AMDs 16-core processors with 12 maybe 14 core processors. Certainly not as they will be releasing an 18-core Skylake-X CPU, you better grab your life-savings in money. The processor would be called the Core i9-7980XE.
