It's been a wild week at the world's largest PC show. From an extremely high-spec gaming phone to a touchscreen trackpad and a gorgeous dual-screen AI-powered laptop, ASUS pulled out all the stops to impress the world from its turf here in Taiwan. Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 850, its first built-for-Windows processor, while Intel and AMD launched chips with more cores and at higher clock speeds than before. Meanwhile, NVIDIA announced a new platform specifically for smarter robots and Microsoft introduced a new category of displays that are basically DIY Surface Hubs. As if that's not enough, we also caught a glimpse of the next generation of Lenovo's Yoga Book and a cute little dual-screen concept from Intel that uses E Ink on one of its displays.

Nvidia just announced a chip that crams $10,000 worth of power into a tiny box that costs just $1,299. The chip, Jetson Xavier, is for robots. "This little computer is going to be the brain of future robots," company co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang announced at Nvidia's Monday press conference at Computex in Taiwan. "Robots that drive, that fly, that swim, [a robot] that goes underground, that picks strawberries, picks lettuce, picks apples, helps you in the lab, like Jarvis handing you your screwdriver -- this little computer is the brains of future intelligent machines," Huang said. Jetson Xavier is packed with six processors which can run 30 trillion operations per second. It took five years to be created, Huang said: three years for the design and two years for the architecting.

Computex marks the midpoint of the technology calendar, an oasis of new hardware in an otherwise barren summer. In the first week of June, Taipei plays host to PC makers and startups showing off what they think is the next big thing. Just before team Engadget sets off to sample everything the show has to offer, here's what we're expecting to see. ASUS dominates Computex, and it's likely that the company will be behind plenty of the most talked-about gadgets. The PC maker will, as custom, break its events in two: the first for its Republic of Gamers sub-brand, the latter for its own brand products.
