Google Photos is finally making backups and exports a tad less vexing

Incremental exports can save time and storage, though setup requires a Photos-only Takeout schedule.

Google Photos backups are getting a little less wasteful for people who use Takeout to keep their own copy of a photo library.

This is aimed at Google Photos users who don’t want Google to be the only place their photos live, especially anyone keeping a second archive on an external drive, NAS, or another cloud service. Google says Incremental Takeout for Photos will make recurring downloads faster and more efficient once the initial archive is complete.

Asus V700 Mini desktop serves a wood-grain finish and it’s a design trend that must stay

Asus’ V700 Mini Tower wraps AI PC hardware in a wood-grain design made for actual living rooms.

Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

Asus’ V700 Mini Tower, announced at Computex 2026 gives the home desktop a rare design win. The new mini desktop keeps the practical shape of a tower PC, but swaps the usual cold box look for clean lines, soft contours, and a wood-grain finish meant to sit where people can actually see it.

That visual shift does real work. A mini desktop doesn’t have to be hidden under a desk, tucked behind a monitor, or parked beside a router because it looks too harsh for the room. Asus introduced the V700 Mini Tower as part of its Computex 2026 AI PC lineup, and the warmer design is the detail that gives it a sharper identity.

Asus Zenbook 14 gets a splash of new colors, and hopefully, a MacBook Neo-tier price, too

Asus’ refreshed 14-inch laptop pairs new colors with AI PC hardware, but its real appeal may come down to value.

Furniture, Table, Tabletop

Asus has a new Zenbook 14 announced at Computex 2026 with the kind of color range most AI laptops still avoid. Arctic Blue, Komodo Coral, and Zabriskie Beige give this 14-inch ultraportable a livelier hook than another argument about neural processors.

The refreshed Zenbook 14 wraps those finishes around a 1.1kg Ceraluminum and metal chassis. It also checks the premium laptop boxes, with Copilot+ PC support, OLED display options, and processor choices spanning Intel, AMD, and Snapdragon. For a MacBook Neo rival, though, one unanswered detail matters most, price.
