ASUS mini PCs are small but pack a mean punch
ASUS just released their tiny but mighty NUC 15 Pro and NUC 15 Pro+ computers. These small machines pack serious power for running AI models, showing complex data, and helping teams finish projects faster. They run on brand new Intel Core Ultra Series 2 chips with speedy DDR5-6400 MHz memory and Intel Arc graphics built right in. The regular Pro fits in a tiny 0.48-liter case, and the Pro+ uses a slightly bigger 0.7-liter case. You can open them up easily, thanks to a spring-loaded lever that pops the case open when you need to add more RAM or storage. These mini-PCs include a neat Power Sync feature that controls your monitors through HDMI-CEC, which helps save electricity by turning everything off at once. The super-fast Intel WiFi 7...
ASUS A31 Case Geek Dream or Overhyped Junk
The ASUS A31 computer case makes building your PC super easy. You can pair it with any ASUS motherboard, graphics card, cooling system, fan, or power supply.

Onyango Rants Loss as Sundowns Ready to Slam Tonight
Denis Onyango talked about how his team felt after losing to Orlando Pirates before the break. The Mamelodi Sundowns keeper says everyone wants to play hard in their Nedbank Cup game tonight. That loss cut their lead to just 15 points, but they still sit ahead of the Pirates, who have four games they need to make up. The team seems ready for the challenge against Sekhukhune United this evening. The match was supposed to happen three weeks earlier, but it had to wait because the women's U17 team needed the same field for their FIFA World Cup game. Onyango spent his time off helping young soccer players back home. He visited Uganda with Sundowns staff to meet with 100 kids—half boys, half girls. They went to his old school and former...

Tax agents caught a guy carrying 3516 hidden phones during a nighttime chase near Mukono on March 24, 2025. Uganda Revenue Authority workers stopped a Toyota Noah after chasing it down.
