• Peladn Link S-3 exposes your GPU completely with no case, no fan, just airflow
• Exposed graphics cards make cool airflows easier, but leave components vulnerable to everything else
• Don’t expect global availability just yet; it’s only shipping in China for now

Peladn has announced the Link S-3, a compact eGPU dock that introduces Thunderbolt 5 connectivity at a relatively low price.

Priced at CNY 1,599 (around $223), the dock is set to begin shipping in China on July 26, although international release details remain unknown.

Designed to support desktop GPUs externally, the Link S-3 is aimed at users looking to boost graphics performance on devices like video editing laptops or compact desktops without internal expansion options.

Unusual design prioritizes form and airflow over protection

Unlike traditional GPU enclosures with bulky cases, the Link S-3 features a flat, open-air design, which helps reduce both size and cost, relying on ambient airflow to cool the graphics card.

While the design looks sleek, it may feel risky to leave the most expensive part of your setup fully exposed to the environment.

The Peladn Link S-3 does not include a built-in power supply but supports standard ATX or SFX units, with up to 140W power delivery through its Thunderbolt 5 port, meaning users will need to connect an external PSU to power the setup.

Connectivity is a key feature of the Link S-3. It includes two Thunderbolt 5 ports offering up to 80Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth.

However, GPU data transfer is limited to 64Gbps due to the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface.

While Thunderbolt 5 offers more bandwidth than previous standards, the real-world performance advantage over OCuLink may be marginal for most workloads.

Still, Thunderbolt brings added features that many OCuLink-based docks lack.

The dock also includes a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port powered by Realtek's RTL8156B controller, a 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, an SD card reader, and a PCIe 3.0 x1 M.2 slot for SSD storage.

These additions could make it especially appealing for content creators using a video editing PC or mobile workstation, where fast access to external drives and networks is essential.

I love you Netflix, but there's nothing more heart-shattering than seeing the best movies being removed from your library. Although it happens every month, it's never a nice feeling to see your favorite titles run their course with one of the best streaming services – and August is no different.

While you wait for Netflix's new arrivals, now's the perfect time to start thinking about catching the movies and shows that have limited time left on Netflix, and there's a mixed bag of classic and modern titles to choose from.

Two of Hitchcock's best movies, The Birds (1963) and Psycho (1960), will be leaving on August 1, as will war epic Dunkirk (2017) and A24's coming-of-age drama Mid90s (2018). But it's not just movies that are getting the chop.

Netflix is also removing 10 TV shows (which is four more than last month) starting with the iconic drama series Ugly Betty, a popular title among TV buffs everywhere. However, it's not all bad news, as you can still binge it on Hulu or Disney+ if you're in the UK or Australia, so if you're still not subscribed to either, you may want to consider making the switch.

If I were to ask you to guess the price of a pair of noise-cancelling true wireless earbuds with hi-res audio streaming, incredibly long battery life and a six-mic setup for active noise cancellation, I suspect you'd start with a three-digit number. And yet Baseus's Bass BP1 Pro earbuds are less than twenty-five bucks on Amazon right now.

This is a triple-discounted price: the BP1 Pro earbuds are down from $39.99 to just $23.78. First of all, Amazon has dropped the price down to $27.99, and then it's added a second 15% off voucher that takes another $4.20 off the total price.

And you can get a free charging cable included that's ostensibly worth $18.99 included in that price, which has a screen on the cable that's supposed to show how charged your device is, handily.

Features like this are pretty rare in mid-tier earbuds, let alone in super-budget ones. I sure hope someone isn't getting fired for this blunder deal.

Don't forget to click the Redeem button next to the voucher details: this is a double discount but the second part isn't added until you click that button. And when you do it drops the price of these adaptive ANC, LDAC-streaming, 55-hour earbuds down to a frankly ridiculous $23.78 and gives you the option of a second pair for free. The deal applies to all three colors in the range: space black, ocean blue and moon white. And once you've done that, be sure to also click on the "How to claim" link next to the "Get 1 free item when you buy 1 select item(s)" offer, and follow the instructions for your free cable.View Deal

Baseus Bass BP1 Pro: lots of features for very little cash

At under $25, these buds are duking it out with the kind of headphones I'd go out of my way not to listen to. And yet the spec is very impressive, with support for LDAC hi-res audio, while active noise cancellation claims to reduce noise by up to 50dB. There are five different ANC modes, and a bass boost for music.

Battery life is decent, with up to 12 hours from the buds and a total 55 hours via the case, all with ANC off. With ANC on, you're still getting 7 hours from the buds and 36 hours from the case, which is pretty impressive and above average overall.

The buds also support rapid charging that'll give you 2.5 hours of music from 10 minutes on charge.

Bluetooth is 6.0 – 6.0! – and there are six mics for calling, and the buds are IP55 rated for dust and water. That makes them a pretty good option for the gym that I don't go to and the rainy walks my dog makes me go on. It's actually not that common for earbuds to be this well-waterproofed (it's often IPX4 at most), so it's another impressive box ticked here.

What do they sound like? I've no idea, but at this price I don't think I'd mind too much if they fall a bit short of the AirPods Max I paid nearly 20 times more for: they could sound like I'd been thrown into a metal waste bin that's being hit with baseball bats and I'd still consider getting them for the ANC alone, for times when I really need it from a pair of buds I can throw into any bag to take anywhere with me.

• Factory-calibrated color accuracy claims sound good on paper, but longevity remains an open question

Asus has announced the ProArt Display PA32QCV, a 6K-resolution business monitor aimed at creative professionals who require accurate color and sharp detail.

Priced at $1,299, it undercuts Apple’s $4,999 Pro Display XDR while targeting similar use cases in media production.

The PA32QCV delivers 6K visuals at 6016x3384 resolution, producing a pixel density of 218 pixels per inch, more than three times that of a standard 1080p monitor.

ProArt PA32QCV brings impressive specs that remain to be tested

This device also supports HDR10 and meets the VESA DisplayHDR 600 standard, which allows for brighter highlights, deeper contrast, and are particularly useful when working with high-dynamic-range content. The extra detail helps with crisper text, sharper lines, and more precise visuals.

In terms of color accuracy, Asus promises factory-calibrated Delta E<2 performance, backed by Calman Verification. The display covers 98% of the DCI-P3 color space, and it also offers 100% sRGB support and 10-bit depth, delivering over a billion colors.

This makes it a strong option for video editing and other color-critical tasks, although how long the factory calibration remains accurate is unclear.

The monitor includes dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, supporting data transfer, charging, and video passthrough through a single cable.

Other connectivity options include HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, USB-A, and additional USB-C ports.

Auto KVM support adds flexibility, letting users control two connected computers with a single keyboard and mouse.

These features suggest it could serve well not only as a display for photo editing but also as a capable all-purpose business monitor.

Asus also emphasizes Mac compatibility. macOS users can adjust settings using the DisplayWidget Center app.

A new M Model-P3 preset aligns the display’s output with macOS devices.

Users can change brightness, contrast, and color temperature with a mouse, and MacBook brightness keys can control the monitor directly.

This may appeal to Mac-focused creatives, although such software tools often lack long-term support.

Asus is promoting a Creative Cloud giveaway with the display in some markets, but the value of bundled software depends on the user’s needs.

The bigger question is whether this 6K screen, despite its impressive specs, will meet the demands of professionals over time.
