For PC fans, the biggest show of the year every single year is Computex. Taking place in Taipei, Taiwan, it's an absolute mecca for those who love PC hardware, with a raft of new tech from all the leading brands. Taipei itself is a haven for PC fans, and Computex leans into that heavily.
The 2026 show runs from June 2 to June 5, but in true trade show fashion, much of the action starts in advance of this with special presentations and early looks at all the new goodies on offer. Some of the heavy hitters you can expect to see out in Taipei include the likes of NVIDIA, AMD, Qualcomm, and ASUS.
For the latter, this is very much the home show, with the company's global HQ mere miles from the Computex location, and as such, ASUS always brings the heat. We can also expect news from others such as Intel, HP, MSI, and smaller manufacturers specializing in PC components.
The show floor itself is always a terrific sight for PC fans, and one of the coolest parts of the show every year is the weird and wacky custom PC builds that are literally everywhere. The bigger issue is having the time to take it all in!
