Two screens. One laptop. That's what had us hooked this week.

The rest of the week kept the announcements coming. Infinix teamed up with legendary Italian design house Pininfarina for a limited-edition phone, BenQ expanded its Mac monitor lineup, and boAt made open-ear earbuds a lot more affordable.

From gaming laptops and creator-focused displays to stylish smartphones and budget audio gear, it was another packed week of launches. Let's get into it.

Asus ROG laptop lineup

Leading the lineup is the Zephyrus Duo, Asus' first dual 16-inch OLED gaming laptop. Across the range, you'll find the latest Intel Core Ultra, AMD Ryzen AI and Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors paired with Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics, high-refresh-rate OLED displays, AI-powered features and improved cooling systems. Asus is also pitching the ProArt PZ14 as a lightweight option for creators, thanks to its detachable design and Snapdragon X2 Elite processor.

If you're planning to build or upgrade your gaming setup or if you've been looking for a laptop with more screen space, this lineup is worth checking out. Prices start at Rs 1,99,990 for the TUF Gaming A14, while the flagship Zephyrus Duo goes up to Rs 6,99,990.

If your TV's built-in speakers just aren't cutting it anymore and you're looking for a good upgrade without spending too much, itel has a couple of new soundbars worth checking out.
