An “EV show” is just a show segment about electric cars. They’re talking about what’s selling and what’s coming next so they can prepare for the next episode.
“EV sales” means how many electric cars people bought. When those numbers jump, it usually signals that more people are switching to electric and that more EVs will keep coming.
OLED is a type of TV screen where each tiny part can light up on its own. That usually makes the picture look especially good in dark scenes, which is why the host filters for it.
Term
RGB TV
“RGB” generally means red/green/blue color. The host is saying that if OLED isn’t available, they can still get a TV option that focuses on RGB color features.
Local dimming means the TV can darken some areas of the screen while keeping other areas bright. That usually makes the picture look more contrasty and less washed out.
Quantum dots are tiny particles inside the TV that help produce more vivid, accurate colors. The result is usually a more colorful picture, especially for reds and greens.
This is a way of lighting the TV screen from behind using lots of tiny LEDs. More tiny lights usually means the TV can make bright areas brighter and dark areas darker, with better contrast.
A hardwire dash cam is a dash camera that gets power from the car’s wiring instead of a plug-in adapter. Because it’s wired in, it can often keep recording or monitor the car even when you’re parked.
Tinted windows are darker because they block some light. That can make a dash cam’s picture less clear, particularly at night or when it’s dark outside.
Parking mode is when the dash cam stays on (or wakes up) while your car is parked. It’s meant to record events like someone bumping your car, but it needs the right setup so it doesn’t kill your battery.
A rear camera is a camera on the back of the car that shows what’s behind you on a screen. If the glass is tinted, it can affect how clear the picture is.
Brand
Sony Starvers
Sony is the brand of the camera being discussed. The speaker is specifically referencing a Sony model/series (“Starvers”), which matters because different Sony camera lines can have different sensor performance and mounting styles.
A canopy here is a cover or housing where the camera wiring is routed. If you ever remove that cover, the cable run may have to be disconnected or reworked.
Term
2k
“2K” is a measure of how sharp the rear camera image is. More resolution usually means clearer details, but it can also create bigger video files.
Term
4k
“4K” means the front camera records very high-detail video. But dash cams use small lenses and sensors, so the picture won’t look exactly like a movie camera.
Dash cams are cameras mounted in a car that record what’s happening while you drive. Even with high resolution, the camera’s physical size and hardware limit how detailed the video can be.
The sensor is the part of the camera that “sees” the light and turns it into the video image. Smaller sensors can mean less detail, especially in darker conditions.
“Wired hardware at the battery” means the dash cam is hardwired directly to the vehicle’s electrical system rather than using a plug-in adapter. Hardwiring is often used to support parking mode and more reliable operation.
A SIM card lets the dash cam use the mobile network. That way it can send video or updates even when you’re away from the car.
Concept
camera can see through the window
If the glass is very dark, the camera may not be able to “see” as well as you can. So the practical test is whether the camera image is clear enough through that window tint.
“In-car hands free” means you can talk on your phone without holding it. The car uses a microphone and speakers so you can keep your hands on the wheel.
Brand
iPhone 16e
“iPhone 16e” is Apple’s smartphone mentioned by the speaker. The episode segment is focused on phone features (like camera settings and storage impact), which can matter for car-related use like recording calls or using hands-free audio.
“ZenBook Duo” is a type of ASUS laptop that has two screens. It’s meant to make multitasking easier because you can keep more than one app visible at the same time.
“Zephyrus Duo” is an ASUS laptop with two screens. In this episode they’re highlighting that it uses OLED screens and is meant to be a more powerful, premium machine.
OLED is a type of screen technology where each pixel lights up on its own. That usually means better contrast and darker-looking blacks than older display types.
Reading reviews and looking at specs can’t tell you how a car feels in your body. A short drive helps you find out if it’s comfortable and easy to live with.
Concept
great value
In cars, “value” isn’t only about the price tag. It’s about whether the car actually feels right and meets your needs when you try it.
They bring up the MacBook Air as an example of a product Apple talks about confidently. The takeaway is that marketing can sound simple even when the market is more complicated.
A “price point” just means the price level a product is trying to sell at. Changing that price can make other brands respond because customers compare options.
They’re using a dramatic phrase to say the launch could really shake up the market. The idea is that other companies might have to react if customers suddenly want cheaper options.
VivoBook is a line of laptops from ASUS. They mention it as one of the options they can move between when changing products.
Brand
ROG Xbox Alloy
This name refers to a gaming device they’re selling. “ROG” is ASUS’s gaming brand, and they’re saying this is their newest handheld.
Term
seroluminum
They’re talking about a special material called “seroluminum.” They say it feels like stone when you touch it, and that the unique feel helps the product stand out so people notice it more and enjoy using it.
Topic
tax time
They’re referring to the time of year when taxes are due. They think stores will run deals around then because more people are shopping or planning purchases.
NBN is Australia’s big internet network that many homes connect to. If you hear about “NBN outages,” it means the internet service can go down or slow down for a while.
Aussie Broadband is a company that provides internet service to homes. The speaker is saying the service provider was fine, but the underlying NBN network was having outages.
Starlink is an internet service that uses satellites in the sky instead of cables. People look at it when they can’t get great internet from traditional providers.
Term
Telstra 5G internet NBN
They’re talking about home internet from Telstra that uses 5G wireless. It’s connected to the NBN setup, but it’s delivered more like a mobile-style connection than a cable-only one.
HFC is a type of internet connection that uses fiber for part of the route and regular cable for the final stretch to your home. If the cable is old or damaged, it can cause problems.
Term
foxtail cable
“Foxtail cable” is an old-style cable used for some internet connections. If it’s aging or got water damage, your internet can get unreliable.
Term
5G
5G is a fast wireless internet connection using cell towers. They’re saying it’s working smoothly compared with the other internet service.
In telecom, “churn” means customers leaving a service provider and switching to another. The hosts use it to argue that widespread dissatisfaction with outages is causing people to abandon the network.
Google Photos is an app for storing and organizing your pictures. It can group and search your photos by what’s in them, so you can quickly find things like motorbike photos without manually sorting everything.
Cloud storage is online space for your files. Here, the idea is that if you pay for it, your photos stay at their original quality instead of being compressed.
Original quality means your photos are saved in their full detail, not squished smaller. That helps if you want to print them or make something big like a poster.
“500cc” is a way of describing how big a motorcycle’s engine is. Bigger cc usually means a larger engine, and in racing it can also indicate a bike class.

The EFTM podcast. Talkback technology. Got a question about tech?
Trev's here to help. Not sure what to buy. Ask Trev.
Australia's number one talkback technology podcast.
I was gobsmacked. I spoke to you on the Tuesday.
Thursday afternoon there's this lovely courier man at me back door with a parcel for me.
All I know is we've been 24 hours mate. You had it sorted after five weeks of herald, raising herald.
Mate I can't thank you enough.
Join the conversation. Head to eftm.com and click Ask Trev.
Hoping Australians would take questions for over 15 years. The EFTM podcast would Trev along.
Real Australians. Real questions. Every week.
You can text Trev now thanks to Vodafone on 0477 657 657.
G'day G'day. Great to have you company. Where are we listening? How are we listening?
It's wonderful to have you company. I've just been sending emails all morning about a certain thing and it's
I'm wondering when it's happening and it's just damn well come out.
So it's the fun and games of the world but it's good news. I'm preparing for the EV show this week and
looking at the EV sales. So that data has finally come out which allows me to do some preparation for the EV show next week.
We're really loving the EV show by the way. If you haven't listened
jump into the two blokes talking tech feed or just search for two blokes talking electric cars.
We would love to have you as part of the show.
It's a fascinating space right now because obviously sales of electric cars are booming
and the numbers are quite extreme as always.
But yeah we'll get to that in the electric vehicle show but this week to take your calls.
Happy to have you on the show 0477 657 657.
And critically also we're going to have a chat this week with Bradley Howe.
Bradley from ASUS who's basically head of consumer.
He runs all their laptop business and I want to honestly I want to ask him about the market.
I want to ask him about price issues.
I want to ask him about the Apple MacBook now and whether that's going to change the market in any way shape or form
because it shocked me. Did it shock the market? The rest of the market? I don't know.
Before I do that though I do want to bring to your attention a cool little side project that I've been working on.
I was in China last week. I have a story on the TV next week on the today's show about Chinese car which I'll bring to you.
But while I was there I was because when I'm in hotel rooms I think about all the things I've been thinking about doing and trying to do
and when all of the when all of the price prices for TVs came out
I wanted to merge it together and get a real sense of the market.
And as I started to do that grab you know Samsung high sense LG's pricing I realized I was creating a spreadsheet of the TV market for 2026.
I started adding more information and then building it out and I thought oh hang on a minute I might get AI to help me here
so I got AI to kind of help me get all the links the model numbers correct find retailer links where I could
and then I went hang on a minute this is useful and I asked it to create a front end for the website
which you can see now if you go to AFTM.com and on a desktop you'll see a link at the top called which TV to buy
on a mobile you open the menu on the top right and you'll see which TV to buy
and you then get to select how you want to choose your next TV size price screen technology whatever it is and brand
and there's 130 odd TVs that it will 136 different TVs and basically then you can filter it down
so I just want to see 65 to 74 inch TVs well there's 24 of those I only want to see OLEDs in that size range
there's six of them I only want to see LG's there's three I want Samsung as well there's six because there's only two people doing OLEDs
I want to narrow the price I don't want to spend more than $2,500 people say to me here on the show so I'll make it $2,600
and then I'll set a minimum because if you're setting a $2,600 maximum you've definitely got a minimum of $1,500 to spend right
well I can't get an OLED because there's nothing available I can get one RGB TV which is exciting
there's plenty of mini LEDs and so that allows me to narrow down what I want to buy
so I think it's super cool I'm really proud of it because I've iterated it so much
we now have best price I'm doing price updates as often as I can using AI again just to scrape the internet
and report back essentially into my spreadsheet I've now even added my thoughts on every single TV
and this was a fun thing because again oh man I gotta sit down and be ready to write
well what I did was I made it a question and answer thing I said to Claude my AI
I said use the spreadsheet and ask me about every TV model and I'll give you a one or two line response
we'll call that Trev's thoughts and I did so over the course of about an hour and a half
it said what do you think of the Neo QLED NQN89 sorry QN80H from Samsung
I said well here's what I think of it and I typed that out so for that one I said
great local dimming using mini LED backlighting and Samsung's signature quantum dot panel
so we enhanced the colours this was once Samsung's premium TV still a fantastic option at any size
there's no negative comments because there's no bad TV out there there's no bad TV
and so those thoughts are now against every single TV model and you can see this only if you go big or go home
so if you put in any price and 100 inch or higher and look at the most expensive TVs
you'll see links to my reviews and Steven and Val's reviews
they don't know that yet but they'll find out at some point
so you've got EFTM review tech guide gadget guide they're all there
so you can quickly and easily link and reference those reviews at the same time
super cool I love it I'm really proud of it I've already got tweaks just from clicking it now
I've got some things I want to change about the first few questions
but I love your thoughts thank you to the people in the EFTM man cave who did comment
and gave some opinions already loved it and I've included many of those things already
but help me well what should it be what should it do how should it work
and importantly and I've written this there EFTM does not earn any commission
from any links on that page so it doesn't matter which retailer you choose
doesn't matter which retailer is cheaper we'll just tell you the cheapest one
and we don't earn money see I'm really not sure
that it's genuinely widely known
that compare the market dot com that are you you know the meerkats and the David Kosh and all that
they make money because you use them to find your next provider
finder dot com that are you finder dot com dot au
whether it's a credit card insurance or a new mobile phone plan
they make money because you chose them
I don't love that model never have mainly because they're incentivised to
get people to pay to advertise to be at the top of the results and is that then
the best option for the person I don't know these results are
entirely based on your needs
and what we'll add obviously down the track is more reviews as we review products
we'll add a review slider you know how did it rate in this criteria
that criteria in this criteria and those will be
unbiased just your ability to choose based on our reviews
I already make enough money out of EFTMI
I met capacity I couldn't do more I'd like to make more
I'd like to earn more but I don't like the idea of earning a hundred dollars a month
because five people bought TVs like if you told me
I could make a hundred thousand dollars a year okay we'd
have a chat but I don't think there's enough people using the EFTM
which TV to buy page that that's going to happen so I prefer the model
was very clear if the model changes at any point it'll be made very clear
but right now and from my view of the future it is a non-commission
buyers guide legitimate simple and unbiased
I would love your thoughts on that so please send me a text
let me know what you think so let me know whether you think
it's a cool idea what you would change what you would add what you would do differently
have a play with it have a muck around I'd love to see what you think
you can get in touch with me all the normal ways folks
music
helping Australians with tech questions for over 15 years
the EFTM podcast with travel on
music
yeah great to have you company and we'll get straight into your calls Darren's on the line
g'day Darren hi Trevor how are you mate really good what can I do for you
uh Trevor just a quarry I've got I wanted to get a hardwire dash cam
and I'm getting a new canopy fitted uh one hardwired
front and rear but the back window on the canopies
tinted and my concern my issue was
uh parking mode like that's just in cases you know
whatever situation whether it's going to be able to be seen
to be visioned I mean how how bad is the tinting because
my like my SUV which I got you know pretty black
tinting on the rear and side windows mate there's still windows
if you can see through them the camera can see through them
okay yeah I contact a couple of court distributors
and they just they wouldn't need to finish they said oh it should be okay
might be yeah it should be okay I mean I think the simple thing
have you already got the car and the canopy uh the canopy is getting
fitted tomorrow that's all and yeah I think that the key is so like
obviously there must be I don't know the road rules right but it's
not mustn't be required to have a rear window because obviously some vans don't have a rear
window at all um and they rely on you know mirrors not just
the side mirrors for navigation and for getting around but
so there is no I don't think there's a law on how
dark your window tint can be on the back window but for normal
people when you install tinting uh on a window
you make it as you might make it as dark as you can be but the tinting is only dark
from the outside in it's it's certainly darker to look out of but you can still see
what's happening and think about what you're trying to capture in parking mode it is
you know the the face maybe the style of clothes the person's wearing or
you know car type and hopefully a number plate all those things
are going to be visible through the window so mate in the end
once you get the car once you get the canopy uh sit in
from the front seat and look out the back and go can I see out the back and remember
the camera is going to be at one millimetre from the from the window
so it's going to be right on the glass um I think it'll be fine
mate. Yeah someone uh I've been doing a bit of
research a unit in 60R and what's that with
Sony Starvers. Yes the dash the dash view 60R
um is a great camera uh because one of the
reasons I love that camera is because it is a barrel camera so it doesn't have a screen
that distracts you while you're driving I just don't see the point of that um
different people different strokes are different folks I get it um you know that's a
$500 camera it is 4k um the rear camera
is excellent quality as well um you know just got to make sure you've got
enough cable to wire it through that canopy which is boy they're really long
the cable that goes from the front to the rear is very long um
I don't think you'll have a problem with it but it's a it's a matter of you know wiring it in a way
that it's kind of discreet and out of the way and not not something that's going to
interfere with anything else you do also remember that if that canopy is ever going to come off
that that's a problem because the
the cable is from the front all the way to the back it's one cable
uh and yes the cable can be unplugged from the
camera because that the camera actually comes it's this tiny little thing and then you plug the cable
into it uh same with the front um I think in that one I'm
pretty sure the cable's separate it's not actually hard you know wired into the into the camera
but my point is if you take the canopy off you're going to need to break the cable
so do you intend to take the canopy off ever or much
no not at all Hong Fong once it's on it's staying on
totally fine totally fine no issue at all yeah and the rear camera
it's a 2k is it is that correct I think I think on that one it's
2k rear 4k front they've got there's another model they've got which is like depends on
what quality you choose so essentially there's only so much uh
ability to store so if you go higher quality at the front it
takes the back down and things like that but I think you're safe with 4k 2k
which is plenty to be honest like I know 4k is great
but 4k dash cams don't look like 4k television you know it's not like
they're actually cinema cameras they're still tiny little lenses right um
and tiny little sensors so you know there's only so much they can capture
but they'll be fine um yeah it's it's a it's a great setup
and you'll be fine how are you going to get the camera through to the canopy
uh that's the theft toll bead a couple of people
offering but for faith fear there's one of technicians whatever faith they do it
regularly okay completely wired hardware at the battery and all that so it's on parking
mode overnight and all that sort of thing like that so I assume what they do
I assume what they do is actually drill through the
tub of the tray like to the cabin and then put the cable through
and then put a silicon sealer like you would in a shower
to fill the hole like it's not going to be a massive hole but just to make sure that it's airtight
and water sealed around it um because it's obviously there's no
opening from the cabin to the can to the to the tray in a
normal circumstance so um yeah you just want to make sure they're doing it discreetly
and yeah yeah I just didn't want to spend a substantial amount
of money and find that it's not actually fit fit the purpose
like that it was the brand called Blackview but they're they're over a thousand dollars
I you know I just can't I can't justify if the unit
and you're saying recommending's around 500 yeah
I'll be honest I've got a Blackview in my car but the reason I
did that was because I wanted one that I could put a sim card
into so I can I can in real time not to see where my
car is but I can look through the front and back windows
um that's yeah and honestly when it
comes to and all the unit in ones are
sensational quality at that end so when you're in this $500 price point
you're getting great cameras when you're in the $200 price point you're compromising
somewhere somehow always there's just no question about that but
bottom line if you can see through the window
the camera can see through the window okay then yep alright then
thank you so much for your advice and thank you no worries mate
thanks for getting in touch good on you um yeah very soon I mean I know it's
you're gonna say silly question stupid question whatever but
you know some windows are much darker and on a on a rear canopy of
a ute you could definitely have that basically blacked out so it really does
it's a matter of sitting in the car and going if I can see out the camera
can see out this is the EFTM podcast
get in touch anytime you want you can send me a text
047657657 or download the EFTM app and click
ask trove Greg's on the line today Greg
really good mate now we spoke uh I'm gonna say about a month ago uh you were looking for a recommendation
of a essentially a basic phone uh where do we end up and what did you end up
doing I end up buying uh Apple E16
oh the 16e yes great uh now was this for
your daughter off yourself I can't remember myself
ah right perfect um and what did you have before remind us
I had an Apple not an Apple
I think Apple was gonna be able to control myself like an old one yeah yeah yeah so
how long have you had it for mate so my apologies what was that
how long have you had it for
well tell us like is it an upgrade in your
world from what you had or are you missing something
it does what I need it to do boom
isn't that all that matters it is it is like the camera could be better
I'm on a Sam it's pretty good camera why not take a lot of photos so
and we talked about that it's a single lens camera it doesn't have the ultra wide
uh it's you're right it is a good camera and one of my only tip to you is
the funny thing about um the cameras on all iPhones frankly and they don't
really advertise this is they talk about how amazing they are but that's only if you
set them to the amazing settings so essentially you can go into the camera
settings and choose the higher resolution the higher
quality uh by default and and it
takes up more storage space every photo but it's a better photo so it might be worth
tinkering with that if you if you notice anything about it but otherwise mate photography is
the same good lighting good subject it doesn't really matter what camera
use it's always going to look good true true true you'll want to have to think correct
are we um are we on your in-car hands free
uh we're on the bike yeah I'm in a truck
yeah it's okay so I was going to say what sort of car it's a truck right I was I like
I like reviewing people's cars based on their hands free system
to see how good they are it's the same with headphones see how good your headphones
are by having these conversations and recording them you see
nice all right well enjoy uh enjoy the phone mate I'm glad
we uh it's a good value it's all you need it does what you want that's what matters
hello mate you enjoyed the rest of your day cheers buddy thank you
good on you rig thank you so much Greg there uh he got his iPhone 16e
uh and you know what that's it's a really honest appraisal
uh it does what he needs uh and could be better
the camera could be better no question um but that's
it's like what I talked about with TVs it's about what you're able
to achieve so you know your budget and what you need and what you want
big difference from buying the thing that does everything
to the thing that just gets you through the day and does what
you need very simple stuff
great to have you company and if you want to get in touch send me a text it's got a tech question
tech problem 0477657657 now um there's been
a lot of going on in the laptop world over the last few months uh so
never a better time to talk to the great Bradley Howe from ASUS in Australia
here today Bradley how are you mate hey true great thanks for having
me again mate it is I gotta say I was
talking to someone this week about the TV market this year probably one of the
not strangest most exciting years for TVs because of some new technologies and things
and I feel like there's a couple of things going on in the laptop market which I want to address which we'll get
to but just on ASUS specifically to start with um
a couple of weeks ago maybe a month ago you uh you kind of launched formally the
the duo um and the Zephyrus duo
there's daggeringly stunning products very high end let's be clear we're talking about
many thousand dollar products but what what is the purpose of that
product for you as a brand is it about demonstrating
what you can do and having a premium product that that
flagship you know stands for the brand or is there a genuine
demand in the market for a dual screen laptop out of the box
yeah the great thing is there's a bit of both um there's genuine
demand for a dual screen device um and this is by
you know from a brand one of you no mistake we've been doing this for many
many years now this is um something that we've really started with
the basis of the first device which was dual screen and then evolved into
multiple devices to the point we have a range of dual screen devices now as well
so that gives you a good idea of the market acceptance as well
to go from something that was almost just a we can do this so we did
in terms of innovation as a brand we're all about innovation
and then to have the ZenBook duo evolve so much over the years into
the latest device that we did launch yeah about a month ago which is flying past
as well and now the Zephyrus duo which is you know two 16 inch
OLED displays on an amazingly powerful
device it is an expensive solution but
consumer acceptance has been already quite good and we've already
managed to see a few sales come through which is quite amazing
but the greatest part of that is that the user
experience that people get out of dual screens and you know you're probably on
multiple screens talking to me today I am definitely on multiple
screens talking to you today and when I travel last week I was just away for
a business trip and I took my external secondary display with me
so from an efficiency point of view people are so used to multiple displays
to have it built into the one device and that seamlessness
of just taking it with you and not having to make sure you pack something else
is very well accepted at the moment because I think people I think I had it
on the today show when I was it was just sitting there looking like a laptop and then I went
took the key like you peel the peel the keyboard off because it's like magnetically
I like to call it the magic trick yeah it's the big reveal and
people are like whoa and because if we
rewind I don't know it feels like a decade I remember
someone having a product at mobile congress where there was you know two screens and one of them was the
keyboard and it was like yeah okay but I don't really want to touch screen keyboard so what you did with
the duo is find a way to give the best of all the
worlds I don't want to touch screen keyboard on a laptop like you deal with that on a tablet
sometimes I want a real keyboard and so and that idea
of propping up your laptop so that you've got a screen kind of down low which might be where
you see your emails but then a screen up top which is where you're working and then a full
keyboard it's just so dynamic and I think it's one of those
things you need to demonstrate so how do you manage a product like that because this is what's fascinating to me
that's an expensive product you can't just issue a hundred of them let alone
a thousand of them to every retailer do you demonstrate that in certain
areas in retail where there's better foot traffic like how do you decide
where to demonstrate that product yeah it's a really
good point because it is an expensive exercise and to be very honest something
very difficult to secure in a retail environment as well so we
have a couple of hurdles we need to come across but
ultimately yeah you're right we end up putting it in key locations that may have
you know premium spaces within that store depending on the
the geographic location as well we always try to make sure we have
the premium very high end devices across each state
across the country as well so that we can reference to you know a certain location
go and check out this retailer at this location we know it's on display
a lot of people that spend in that kind of money want to see the device
I'm one of those kinds of people I love to see expensive
products on buying first hand and yeah you'll do the research and
probably go into the store and know what you're looking for in the first place but
you can do all the research it's like cars
you can do all the research in the world but until you sit in and go oh the seat is actually
comfortable or take it for just a 10 minute drive even though it's great value
it doesn't matter until you've done that last thing so you can decide
on something I say this often about podcasts or radio callers and people
listen and they go like I just wanted you to say yes and sometimes that's what
people want they just want someone to say that's the right thing for you and that's the retail
situation it would be even worse with the Zephyrus because gamers
are an elite category of humans very specific
about their needs and I'm noticing this tragically more and more with my
14 year old son who is way more into gaming than my older son was
at the age and I love it like I encourage it I'm like yeah I've got this cool new keyboard
for you buddy it's got like a stream deck built in and you know
he's got a he's got a
a Strix there that he's using to help me because like I needed a gaming
laptop to have enough power to review the latest games I was just this morning
with Yorg Newman the head of Microsoft Flight Simulator
out at Bankstown Airport you know that's a game that is a game
sorry it's not a game I called it a game to him live on TV and he corrected me it's a simulator
it's a sim but that's a program
that's a piece of software that requires serious gut and now imagine the Zephyrus
Geo this is two big OLED screens that are
now able to run you know Microsoft Flight Simulator and then you throw in just
a nice joystick and you've got a solid gaming experience that's essentially portable
it's remarkable how much power you can now take with you
wherever you go. Yeah I think that's the key as well
people are travelling they're very mobile nowadays
and just because you're away on a business trip it doesn't mean you have to miss out
on you know enjoying some downtime in a hotel room when you
got the chance to actually have a bit of you know one-on-one gaming and these types
of devices are a perfect solution for that especially you know the dual screen
technology that we've really pine in the way over the past few years
these devices are very much geared towards a bit of work and play I guess you
could say because obviously they're amazing devices from a day-to-day
business work point of view but then at night when you've got that time
aside you can really powerful you've got a really powerful gaming rig that
no compromise whatsoever. How much of a problem for you is the
this memory crisis this storage memory
price drama which I understand is driven by the AI revolution
and data centers and all these different things but essentially there's more demand for
memory and storage
than there is supply
and that's putting pressure on prices. We've seen it a little bit in some places
so for example Samsung's phone went up 50 bucks this year
I've seen people send me photos of like SD cards that have gone up in quite large
numbers the price but at a device level have you seen it yet
or is it something that's coming where does that pan out for the average Aussie this year
yeah it's 2026 is definitely a different market
to 2025 that's for sure and we probably
see more as an opportunity to really show our brand and in its best
light as soon as it's always been about innovation but also adding value
to the consumer and I feel in particular now that we've
unfortunately ran into this challenge that is a global challenge and obviously
everyone is experiencing and it's given us a chance to make sure we're talking about
the right things you know previously a few years ago
consumers would go into a store and have that conversation about
RAM and hard drive being a basic conversation if you like
in terms of that's what they need because they're good friends said I need this
but that conversation has changed a little bit you know we're talking about battery life
does this have all-day battery life does this have multi-day battery life
the weight of the device has become really important so
because we have such a wide range of product portfolio
from our entry level Chromebook range all the way through to premium
R&G gaming rig we've really got a solution for every type of consumer
and the great thing about this and I say it as an opportunity is that we
got our chance to shine and show things like sero aluminum which is such a cool
material that really needs to be experienced to understand
what it's about it feels so different so lightweight doesn't have
you know it's quite smudge proof and things like that adding value
to a device and it takes away just from that I guess price
discussion which is it's a real world factor at the moment that everybody
is dealing with but it's nice for us to be able to have other things
to be able to share with our consumers as well. So what I'm hearing
what I'm hearing from you is that it's a pressure that everyone's under so it's not like it's going to be
unique to Asus so someone's going to go into a retail store with the intention of buying
a laptop they're going to have the same challenge across the brands
so whatever amount of RAM or memory or hard drive you want
is going to be the same price pressure across the brand so you're using this as a way of going
so you've got to find a point of difference if people are spending more they want to know
why they're what they're getting that's better they want to justify it to themselves and go but look at the
non finger pretty finish on this thing the sero aluminum
is genuinely a really lovely finish and so you
it does that work in retail though because people go into retail and they're going
geez why is it so expensive you know it was it was cheaper you know six months ago
a year ago etc so I don't know is that enough
to get people over the line? I think it's one of those key factors I suppose
and then adding to that things like OLED you know OLED something again
we've really led the way over the years in terms of incorporating into
quite a depth or quite a number of our
portfolio so again it's visually different
as well so it's a great call out in a store when you're next to something
that may not have an OLED screen so it is really making sure we stand out on
shelf and have a differentiator it is challenging
because you know there is so many different options and from a consumer point of
view especially someone that may not be as educated it can be quite confusing
so you know making sure you stand out in a retail environment is key at the moment for sure
now speaking of standing out in a retail environment
you have a competitor in the market who I'll put it this way
look their marketing is strong the way Apple talk about their products is funny
to me I often am in their events and I kind of smirk at the way they promote
a product but they have a unique ability to say something like
the MacBook Air is the best selling laptop in the world okay a very very
commonly said thing the issue is people that don't know the market don't realise that
ASUS, HP, Dell, whoever all the other brands
you have many more models so there isn't really one that just
attracts all the sales right and I think that's probably based on many factors
in retail and other things but it's also about as you've just said serving a wider
level of products to a broader community
but I've got to tell you I was blown away by the announcement of the MacBook Neo
earlier this year for Apple to come into the price point
of under a thousand dollars on a laptop I feel like
it sent shock waves through the laptop market because there's great products
under a thousand dollars I acknowledge that but most of the time it feels
like it's a compromise in some way you're going down in process or you're going to Chromebook
and while Chromebooks are awesome they're not for everyone
so firstly was it a shock and has it
shocked the market in a way and does it change the market in any way or is it just business
as usual for you guys? Yeah it really is business as usual
I mean did it shock us? I think it shocked the market in general
one of our co-seas actually came out quite openly and said that it was
a bit of a surprise but ultimately again it's given us an
opportunity to make sure we do better we need to be ready for anything
in this market it can change and does change at the moment daily
so again as you mentioned making sure you've got that depth in your product
portfolio to be able to pivot to something else where
required whether it be like you mentioned Chromebook into the VivoBook
or into our premium ZenBook range but even on top of that we've
had great success in the previous years in our mobile handheld gaming
console space so obviously the ROG Xbox Alloy is
our most recent iteration of device and that's where we've
really enjoyed a lot of success in the past two and a half years and great incremental
business as well because two and a half years ago it didn't exist for us
I feel like as a brand we've got our inability to be able to pivot
quite quickly yeah it's kept us on our toes
but I don't say that as a bad thing it's a good opportunity for us to make sure we
level up where we're required and as a brand we're innovators
that's what we're about we've got 5,000 engineers back at HQ that this is their job
to bring something to the market and I'm confident that
that's on its way as well a little bit of a rising tide lifts all boats as well
you know if more people are brought into retail stores thinking
about buying a laptop that's under a thousand dollars and expecting a certain
thing then hopefully the retail level store staff are pointing
out the other things that are in their field of view
like that's what you want really is no matter where they end up buying what we want is people
buying the products and your job is to use things like seroluminum and stuff like
that to attract that attention so because I've noticed from seroluminum is a great example
that was a premium level product which is now just
slowly being scattered amongst the range it's not on everything but
it's getting out there and I can imagine that being a
huge point of difference for you because mate I genuinely
love the feeling of that material it's the strangest thing in the world
I still can't quantify it to people I always say when I'm talking about it it's got
a stone like feeling to it I was going to say the same thing it feels like
stone it's definitely the most you know natural
feeling I guess you could think of if you've got a stone in your hand and then you feel a seroluminum that's definitely
what I feel like it feels like as well but yeah it is about
having those differentiators and having something that is something we can
talk about but then also obviously because it is a physical feel and touch thing
it's quite a nice experience for the consumer to go into that
you know retail channel partner store and actually go in and enjoy
and feel and it's key for us to have these devices on display
you mentioned it's starting to move down the stack in terms of price point which is
great because we're finally giving more and more consumers the
opportunity to have that premium device and that will continue through
the rest of this year as well. What does the market do with laptops
I've never really monitored pricing closely but we are
six to eight weeks away from tax time so I'm assuming the next five
to six weeks there's going to be some specials and stuff is that how the market reacts
you know is that controlled entirely by the retailers that say we want you to help us
with these kind of this time of year and you've got to sharpen some
pencils and things can we expect some good laptop buying times in the
few weeks ahead. Yeah most definitely we're really fortunate
we've got extremely tight close relationships with all of our partners
and have done so over many many years and there's key beats that we
always need to you need to make sure you're a part of because if you miss your tax times
your Black Friday is your boxing day you're back to school you know it almost sets
you up for a good or a bad year effectively so we're lucky we do
work closely with the team and our local team but then also
our partners you know we always come in and make sure that we've got great opportunities
to have very very good volume opportunities
with them but then also pass those deals on to the consumer
as well so yeah you're definitely right you'll start to see things
ramp up for tax time it's definitely you know cost of living is a
challenge at the moment for consumers so I feel like at the moment the market's
definitely a need market not a once you know if you need it you can get to your core
you'll definitely go out and buy one and the greatest thing about
those consumers that do need a device in the next let's call it six weeks
to eight weeks there's definitely going to be some very very strong deals out there from
ASUS and our partners finally with your longer term goggles on
let's shift away from tax time and think long term because you get to see you know what's coming
you know what's coming you've got to keep a guarded word on it but
is 2027 an exciting year for laptops even more
so because I feel like look I'll be honest I feel like the Apple thing
plus the technology innovations that we've seen in laptops over the last
kind of 12 months means you know there should be some really exciting things happening
in those back rooms at HQ right now
yeah there definitely is and like you say it's hard to say too much about them
but I've definitely seen some 2027 products to be honest
I've seen some 2028 products and the greatest part about our
brand is that we always have something new we always you know go back to the
drawer board and think of something new and we're definitely doing that
there's some exciting product even in the second half of this year to be honest
that you know that time you've combi text which is always in June
that's our home show in terms of in Taiwan and
even there there's going to be some exciting announcements as well so plenty to come
but yeah what I have seen is very very cool
Well we conducted this interview on Zoom so I can tell people he's smiling he's happy
he doesn't look at all worried or concerned about the industry so that fills
me with confidence at the same time Brad great to talk to you mate I appreciate it
Awesome thanks Trev take care mate
Join the conversation, head to eftm.com and click
Ask Trev
Great to have you company, Jamie's on the line today, Jamie how you doing?
Yeah Trev you're very well thanks mate. We spoke previously and you were looking at laptops
I think we talked about Chromebooks where did you go from there?
Yeah mate yeah I kept on the on the Chromebook to when
you suggested ASUS DX14 the 14 inch one
Intel Core 3 and yeah JB had a sale on it
dropped down to just under $600 so I pulled the trigger
actually ordered one from Officeworks Click and Collect and went in and
picked it up mate and got it all hooked up to the two monitors and it's
yeah working like a dream but yeah so much faster and just more
responsive and obviously you know new machine as well so getting all the updates as well
so yeah so thanks very much. Remind me what sort of things you do on your laptop
because I think a lot of people wouldn't even consider a Chromebook on most days
you know because they think it's something half baked
Yeah well I mean I do a lot of research like I'm using I'm actually using
AI at the moment a lot to do some stuff do some research and work on a few
projects as well yeah so I'm using that I'm using
it for you know obviously researching products that I'm wishing to buy
but yeah I've sort of got into a I've been using
Core a bit recently same same yeah yeah so
What sort of things you've been using it for?
Well some stuff come up at work recently where they're offering
voluntary redundancies so I'm actually looking at you know on a few projects to
sort of look at what I might do if I do the package.
Yeah right so you basically saying hey here's my circumstances here's what you need to
know about me if I came into kind of this much money how would I manage
that what would I do next kind of thing? That's right yeah so just putting in
the figures and you know saying you know obviously the safe option
would just to be keep keep working for another five or ten years five years
next hopefully for me but obviously but um yeah just looking at you know if I can retire
a bit earlier five years earlier than the normal you know obviously the cash
flow wouldn't be as much I'd have to probably do something else but yeah it's really
good at just having a look at those figures and I think that's something worth a high book.
I mean it's a great example of it but have you also done the I think there's a government
website about super and planning for retirement and
I did it a couple months ago just because I was trying to understand
you know that you see those ads and they say you know you should have this much super by this age and like oh
what and so I'm like what's what's it gonna matter and I did it
and I was like oh actually it's looking okay
and it's all about really how how little you can live on when you retire but do you
think the Claude therefore AI gave you more
insights than what you could find elsewhere or was it about the detail that it
gave you what did it do? Yeah it really just
looked at the figures and it was able to tap into my particular super fund
which is PSS the public super fund which is defined but
it was able just to pull that data from off the net obviously
and just put it all into context about you know this is how much money you would
need to retire at this age and this is you know the year cash flow
and with two kids and all that sort of stuff so yeah obviously the safe option
as I said is just to keep working but yeah to look at other opportunities
and you know when I say redundancy it doesn't mean I can't keep working
for that next five years it just means that I could do something else so yeah
and that's the other thing yeah like one of the things that people
I don't assume producer Rob would mind me saying this but you know he was
a long-term employee at news and ended up taking a
package out of there and you think you're still allowed to work
you know you can still work like eight or ten hours a week or whatever it is
or more I don't know what the numbers is but again those are the questions that you can ask and
my only advice to people and my caution to you is then
how much extra work are you doing to
fact check it because like if you take its advice as granted
do you know that like if it says let's say let's say I asked it you know how many hours a week
can I work while I'm on the pension you know for something like that
you've got to make sure you go and check what it found out don't you yeah that's right
and that's what I'll be doing I'll take you all this information and meeting with a financial advisor
shortly as well just just to crunch those numbers and just you know double
check but yeah like it's a bit of a gamble but you know I guess
those sort of opportunities don't come up very often so it's best to have a look at
what a great use of AI mate well done yeah oh thanks for that yeah thanks
but yeah look the Chromebook's great thanks very much for your tip and
I'm sure it'll give me many years of enjoyment
just one other thing I just wanted to touch on
so I've had a few issues with my NBN connection recently I was
with Aussie broadband no no problems with them whatsoever it's more
actually the NBN network itself we have seemed to have a lot of outages
here in the north side of Brisbane I don't know what it is
there just seems to be always a bunch of outages you know where my wife's
trying to work from home so you get a notification saying there's an NBN outage
etc but you're seeing them more frequently than you normally would
yeah like there's always seems to be maintenance you know like the last time
I think we're out for about three or four days and I just got fed up with it so I
started looking at options obviously Starlink was one of the options
a little bit more expensive but I've ended up on
the Telstra 5G internet NBN
which is I think $85 a month it only gives you one
gigabyte of data that will be the only sort of caveat I think after
you know after you reach your data limit it drops down to $25 down
yes there's very rare NBN
plans that have any sort of limit you know that's one of the deals
look I think you know it's a fascinating one because look if you're in a good area
then you won't notice a difference it's just more
internet if you're someone who does speed test every five minutes you'll definitely get better
on the NBN but you'll also find times where you're like wow this is happening via 5G
and then if you're someone who uses a lot of data I'd hate to know what
data I'm using every month I've never looked yeah well that's it I'll be monitoring mine
worry me greatly but on a
kind of similar vein though you're probably paying more though aren't you
or the $85 a month what speed were you on before
so I was on the $500 with Aussie but that was I think that was
$95 a month but this is up to $300 down and the
thing is it actually it hasn't missed a beat since I
installed that new modem I just went into the sales to shop and you know did it in
person got the modem and they said look if it doesn't work out just bring it back
you just you know it's no locking contract and it was interesting
because when I was in the shop there was another couple there getting the exact same modem
as me and I said well just curious like any particular reason why and they said
the same thing they just sick and tired of all the outages with the NBN
and that's the thing while it works it's great but we're on the
hybrid character here. I was just going to say what technology you're on so you're on the HFC
the old foxtail cable. Yeah that's right so I don't know whether
you know there's a bit of you know that cabling's a bit old or there's
some water damage or what's happening. It must be I mean I'm on the HFC and it's great
both home and work. I wouldn't mind even I know you've already left the
the NBN connection you're on the 5G and there's no drama there but if you
don't mind I'll get producer Rob to reach out and get your address details because
I'd like to follow up with the NBN especially given what you say about other people
clearly saying the same thing you know. Yeah that's right. If people are
leaving the network because of outages they surely know that
they're surely seeing the churn on the network so they probably need to look into it.
Yeah our next door labels they work from home as well they're on Aussie as well
and they used to send me all the I used to be on Buddy for a while
and yeah they used to send me all the emails for the outages
and yeah like because it obviously affected us as well. Well tell them that I'm going to follow it up
okay all right so you get me I'll get producer Rob to reach out
we'll get your address and if you don't mind I'll use your address to say to the NBN A
this guy left the NBN is now with Telstra 5G because the outages were too
frequent and he was actually saw a person at the Telstra store
look for the same reason and his neighbour is complaining as well so there must be a problem
we'll see whether they can tell us what's going on or at least do something to repair it
that's great thanks for that Triff awesome all right mate no worries enjoy your day
cheers you too thanks mate cheers good on you um yeah I mean look the bottom
line is the NBN should be the reliable option
but yes cables have faults whether they're copper, coaxial
or fibre yeah fibre less so they normally just breaks
but you know the HFC has been
around it's been decades installed and so there could be issues with it and that's why
it may need more maintenance in that area but to have so many people complain
is a worry.

Get in touch I'd love to help you out if you've got a tech question or a tech problem or you just want to brag about some cool thing you just bought
you've got a big screen TV let's talk about it Rodney's on the like hey Rod
How are you? Good buddy how are you? Good
What's happening? I mean I've got
I'm not very clued up on technology as you sort of know
I've got an old I think it's an iPhone 11
Pro Max and it always tells me it's full
so then I spend hours upon hours trying to delete things one by
one doesn't really do much and then I say all these ads
pop up Facebook I ask people
then they say they're all scams so I'm not going to hit anything
to clean me phone out and I was just
wondering if there is anything legit if they are scams
or they're not or what's the best procedure I mean look the first
thing to do is work out where it is that your your storage is
problematic for you have you dug into the settings to
see what it is taking up space is it something as simple as photos or is
it some of your apps? Majority photos
Majority would be photos but I think a lot of duplicates
and things but to try and work out in different albums what's
in there and just to be clear you've been into the
iPhone story section you've looked at the apps for example so for example
my WhatsApp is using 19 gigabytes
of storage on my phone that's okay because I've got a
really big storage but if I had to hold a phone 64 gig that's a huge
amount that's a big percentage an app like Capcut which is made for
video editing right it's got seven gigabytes of storage in it
when I edit a video it's done it's finished why is it storing anything so I can click on that
app and just go offload and that just deletes all the storage
so it um you know sorry delete app is what you
want to do don't offload it and you can basically clean that pretty well
there but if it's photos if photos is what's causing you the most
problems my regular advice on this is to switch
to Google photos you want to move to the cloud right
so the cloud what happens with the cloud and if you've already got iCloud in any way
you could use this broad advice as well but there's a setting in photos to have it
manage the storage on your phone so what happens is it puts everything in the cloud
and then it only keeps the most recent kind of couple of days worth of photos on
your phone but when you scroll back to 2017 and you look for a photo
you can see that the photo exists but all you see is a little thumbnail and when you
click on it it might take five or six seconds for you to see the whole photo because it grabs it
from the cloud and shows it to you but that photo that photo doesn't need to be
on your phone because it's from seven years ago so
so Google photos is my recommendation because it's even better it will do
things like find duplicates um and those kind of
things merge them and delete duplicates it'll clear out your storage and it's
all on it's all in the cloud so you basically need to move to the cloud mate is with your photos
no problem so all the things that I see the
ads they're not really trustworthy no no because what
they're all they're doing they're just trying to sell you what I've just told you
there's no there's no simple solution to your problem now could you go to JB Hi-Fi
and buy a hard drive plug it in the bottom of the phone and move all your photos over to
that yes absolutely that is totally achievable
but you then need to delete them all from your phone so you need to kind of go well
okay this hard drive here this little thumb drive is now all my photos
up until May 2026 and then you start from scratch
and then you put those on your computer for example
but then there'll be that day where you're looking for that photo of you on a motorbike from you know six years ago
and it's not on your phone because it's on the computer now that's why the cloud is so
great mate I can I can just open up I don't need to be on my phone I can just
go to photos.google.com on my computer and I can
I could search for have I named everyone
in my like because it recognizes faces right I can
search I don't even it's what about faces I can just search for motorbike
right and and it will find photos of motorbikes
just by instinctively knowing like I don't even remember
taking some of these photos they are like of a bloke on a scooter or
you know some random motorbike I saw on a street and then if I scroll back
far enough I'll find photos of some Speedway motorbikes
at Etihad Stadium in 2014 like you know
instantly like here and here in front of me I have
photos just from that one search for motorbike from
2014 taking photos at the Speedway Grand Prix
yeah okay so so let Google
photos manage my photo correct download the app
agree to all the bloody circumstances and then your biggest decision
though is am I am I going to spend money on my
photo library so you can upload lots of photos in
kind of what they call low quality they're not just not terrible quality but they're not
original quality and so if you wanted to make a big poster probably not big
enough and good enough but if you pay a little bit for Google's cloud storage
it will then take it will keep them all in original form
and I'm telling you it is a remarkable service
because once you sit there and you go well you know what I'll do
I will spend some time and it shows you faces you give it names
and and so you name people I've got photos
like I'm loving scrolling through just searching for motorbike here because now I'm seeing photos from
when I was in in Sweden at the 500cc's there I found photos
of my mum's pub when she had the pub and all these motorbikes parked out the front
from when it down in the early 2000's like I'd forgotten about these photos
pub's heart burnt down and all these 30 or 40 motorbikes pulled up to
can I just have a beer and it's a great memory
and it's there in my Google photos forever and I am paying every month for Google
it's they've got me by the balls because I'll never not pay because I want this photo
library but pretty cool pretty cool thing to have access to and I think it's the most
important thing that we subscribe to is our cloud photo storage
well it's pretty much your life now isn't it
it is the way it's gone
Google photos buddy give it a try
I might do that and I might buy a little hard drive because there's probably a lot of photos that I don't
actually need on my phone
I don't even know how many photos does it tell you anywhere
it probably does but I've got a crazy
amount of photos and I can't imagine going through
the way you're talking there it's like you're going to go through your photos and work out
could you imagine trying to do that
when I scroll back sometimes I see these things and I go what the hell is going on here
and it's when my kids were like four and five they grabbed an iPad and they just took
100,000 photos of themselves so what is going on here
so yeah I have
74,000 photos on my iPhone
can I ask another question
I'm going back to Thailand again can I take
my Alexa speech up
I get in over there and it will work or not
well yes because all you need to do then is set it up on the Wi-Fi network
so you just need to what I would do
before you go is I would go to the Alexa help page
and find the instructions for connecting Alexa to a new Wi-Fi network
because really that's what Alexa here is talking Alexa stop
she's talking in the office here but basically that's all you need to do
because if I take a I've got an Alexa speaker here on my desk if I take it home
all I need to do is connect it to the home Wi-Fi network
that's the same as taking it to Bali just put it on a different network
I wouldn't go to the trouble of telling it you're in a different country and all that kind of stuff because there may be differences to the way it works
but I don't think you need to do anything
so just connect it to
you just need to learn how to connect to a new mobile network
new Wi-Fi network sorry
no problem
thank you so much
plenty of options there for Rodney
people say I talk about Google photos a lot
because it's bloody brilliant one of the greatest bits of technology that I have
at my fingertips that I can just type motorbike
and I see all these great photos of motorbikes from over the years in my photo library
why wouldn't you
take advantage of that and I get plenty of people saying well Apple photos does that too
I just think that if I go side by side
let's go plain something really simple and obvious
like plain on my computer on Google photos
I type plain if I now go to my phone and type
plain
there's certainly a lot of results
but I can already see like my computer
is showing just random photos like planes that are
like way up that you wouldn't even notice
the iPhone it's interesting I would argue
it's showing they're all showing different planes
but I'm getting many more results on Google photos
than I am on my iPhone but that may just be my collection
I don't know but iPhone photo search does work
works very well I've just found that certainly face recognition, person recognition
is by far better on Google photos my opinion
Thanks so much for listening and please as I mentioned at the start of the show
would love your genuine feedback on the EFTM
which TV to buy search
I want it to be a page that
it's going to take probably a month before it's fully live
because like I said it's going to take a month before it's fully live
and obviously the reviews are going to take like many months
and obviously I've already thought well next year
there'll be another filter which is 2026, 2027
but I'm not going to integrate older TVs
I am going to talk to Kogan about getting a list of their most current TVs
so they're not seeing all of them I'm just seeing the current ones
so I will add in Kogan as well
I have added into the database the ability for Amazon
or Kogan to be retailers if any of these TVs are available there
and I will say this out loud and up front
I'm doing it manually at the moment in terms of running the system
but I will set it up to be a daily or a couple of days a week thing
but I'm doing the price checks regularly I'm going to keep a log of that
so that we can see price fluctuations
I talked once about the Coles Woolies plugin that's in Chrome
that allows you to see the price fluctuations on any product at Woolworth
broadly what I want to see here is if I'm looking at the Samsung
for 65 inch R85 RGB TV
it's currently $2567 it's $650 less than it was last time
I checked I'd love to be able to hover over that and see a price graph
that shows me what the highest it's been, the lowest it's been
because then you know essentially your bargain point
if the lowest that TV has been is $2,200 you say listen it's been $2,200 before
just sell it to me now for that and I'll buy it right now
so hopefully that kind of works anyway thank you so much for listening
and I would love your feedback you know how to get in touch
look forward to hearing from you
About this episode
Trevor starts by turning a casual comparison of Samsung, Hisense, and LG pricing into a 2026 TV spreadsheet, then expands it into an AI-assisted TV finder with filters, retailer links, and price tracking. Along the way, he fields listener questions on dash cams, iPhone storage, and a Chromebook upgrade, before a longer ASUS interview shifts to dual-screen laptops, OLED, premium materials, and how memory and storage costs are reshaping what buyers ask for.
This week I've got news of a brand new addition to EFTM - our TV Search tool, it's new, let's call it Beta - but its there now for you to try, would love your feedback!
We talk to Bradley Howe from ASUS about the laptop market, what's new for Asus and just how Apple's NEO strategy has shaken up the market.
