ASUS's ongoing love affair with dual-screened devices is something we continue to get behind. The newest iteration of the ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 is another excellent example. This laptop gets a 16-inch main display that comes with two display options and a secondary 14.1-inch touchscreen with a resolution of up to 4K.

When we talk about the display options for the primary screen, you get the Nebula HDR QHD-resolution panel with a 16:10 aspect ratio and 165Hz refresh rate. It has a mini-LED backlight with a peak brightness of 1,100 nits, 100% P3 colour space support, and a DisplayHDR 1000 certification. The other option is a ROG-exclusive Dual Spec panel co-developed with BOE. It allows you to choose between viewing at 4K with a 120Hz refresh rate or 1080p at 240Hz. The discrete graphics bypass the integrated graphics for reduced latency with a MUX switch.

BMW showcases colour-changing paint tech at CES 2022

BMW has brought paint tech to CES that looks like CGI in real life. The company debuted this innovative paint scheme on an all-electric iX, and videos of it have been showing up on Twitter. It shows the car's paint transitioning from gray to white and back again.

According to Twitter user Out of Spec Studios, the paint is reportedly temperature-sensitive, so the carmaker has a backup in case this iX gets too hot or cold. There is no word about whether BMW plans to offer this colour option to customers, but it is definitely one of the cooler things we've seen at the show so far.

TCL revamps its NXTWear TV glasses to look more fashionable

Whether it would make sense for you to wear glasses indoors or not, TCL redesigns its TV glasses to look more like a pair you'll want to wear. The NXTWear Air aren't augmented reality glasses (but TCL also has that). These glasses are more of an accessory you can plug into any device and work as an external monitor of sorts close to your eyes. You can enjoy your content or do some work while lounging around.

Functionally, they aren't as different as the original NXTWear, but now they look more like RayBan Wayfarers than the IMAX 3D glasses look of the past. It has a black plastic frame with magnetic front plates and tinted lenses you can swap out for different styles. That black USB-C cable on the right side will give it away as a tech device, though.
