Asus’ Lastest Gaming Laptop Combines Rzyen 4 and Nvidia RTX Power

When most people think of thin-and-powerful gaming laptops, things like the MSI GS65 Stealth and Razer Blade come to mind. Asus also has had a new models rocking the boat too, but now the company wants to truly win the crown with the ROG Zephyrus G14.

Measuring in at 17.9mm thin and weighing a scant 3.53 pounds, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is one seriously thin and light laptop. This 14-inch laptop’s extreme weight savings comes courtesy of its magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis, which feels like its actually made of metal unlike other notebooks made of this metal mixture.

Pokemon Go January 2020 Research Quests

A new month has begun, which means a new batch of Field Research tasks is now live in Pokemon Go. Unlike Special Research quests, which are assigned by Professor Willow, Field Research tasks are distributed through PokeStops. You’ll receive a random task when you spin the Photo Disc at a stop, and you can have up to three active tasks at a time.

Each Field Research task you complete will unlock rewards, which can range from rare items to Pokemon encounters. The first task you complete each day will also net you a stamp. Each time you collect seven stamps, you’ll achieve a Research Breakthrough, which will unlock even more rewards, including an encounter with a special Pokemon.

Last month, the reward for achieving a Research Breakthrough would be an encounter with a Legendary Pokemon, but Niantic is offering a different reward for January 2020. Each time you achieve a Research Breakthrough this month, you’ll get a chance to catch a Lapras that knows Ice Beam or Ice Shard. This marks the first time you could get the Pokemon with either move since 2018.

As previously mentioned, the Field Research tasks you receive will be randomly taken from a larger pool. You can see the updated list of Pokemon Go’s Field Research tasks as well as the possible rewards they dole out below, courtesy of The Silph Road.

There’s plenty more happening in Pokemon Go this month. The Legendary Pokemon Heatran is returning to five-star Raids from January 7 to February 4, while the Hatchathon event runs until January 16. The first Community Day of 2020 is also set for Sunday, January 19, although Niantic hasn’t revealed what the featured Pokemon will be yet.

The New Mutants: The Demon Bear and Soulsword Explained

Much like mutant heroine Illyana Rasputin, The New Mutants has been trapped in limbo for a long time. But the release date for Fox’s final X-Men movie is fast approaching. If you need proof, why not check out the brand new trailer?

The New Mutants is notable not just for being the final entry in Fox’s X-Men cinematic universe, but also because it pushes that universe is a very different direction. Thanks to iconic X-Men trappings like the Soulsword and the Demon Bear, The New Mutants is as much a horror film as it is a traditional X-Men adventure.

But what is the Soulsword, and what the heck is a Demon Bear? Read on to find out everything you need to know about these new additions and how they’re helping open the doors to a much bigger (and scarier) universe.

Xbox Series X: New Details Emerge At CES 2020

AMD’s CES 2020 briefing from Las Vegas kicked off with a fresh look at Microsoft’s next-generation console, Xbox Series X. In a sizzle reel, the back of the console was shown for the first time, and it reveals some key–but unsurprising–details about the system.

The Xbox Series X will reportedly feature two HDMI ports, two USB-C ports, S/PDIF, Ethernet, and of course Power. This is exactly the same as the Xbox One X. The Xbox Series X also has a USB port on the front of the console, close to the disc drive. The Xbox One X also has an IR Out port but it remains to be seen if Xbox Series X will have this as well.

Here is a look at the back of the Xbox Series X, as shown off during AMD’s CES briefing:

Here are the Xbox Series X portsHere are the Xbox Series X ports

GameSpot has contacted Microsoft in an attempt to confirm the details of what ports the Xbox Series X will have. Keep checking back with GameSpot for more. The AMD briefing also included a new look at the Xbox Series X controller, which features a “Share” button for the first time. The controller shown in the image appears to have softer triggers.

It’s been a big day for Xbox Series X, as Microsoft also showed off the console’s CPU for the first time.

The Xbox Series X launches in Holiday 2020. It might not be the only next-gen Xbox console on the way, as the Xbox Series X naming convention leaves room for other consoles as well. The Xbox Series X will also ship with a new controller that features a “Share” button, which is something that the PlayStation 4’s DualShock 4 has had since 2013. One of the launch titles for Xbox Series X is Halo Infinite, while other titles will be confirmed later.

What’s New To Netflix This Week? Movies, TV, And Originals

Every week, Netflix puts out a lot of content. Between the movies, TV shows, and original programming, there is something for everyone on the streaming service. Here is what’s headed your way for the week of January 5, along with a few of our recommendations.

Almost everything coming to Netflix this week drops on Friday, January 10. The cult classic 1981 horror movie The Evil Dead drops on that day. Sam Raimi’s original film was never intended to be a comedy–which the franchise ultimately became–but the first movie in this series still holds up, as it is a ton of fun, even with the unintentional laughable moments. The Evil Dead follows a group of friends who go to a cabin in the woods, and they’re killed off, one by one, by a demonic force. Just a heads up: If you are ever staying in an old log cabin and find a book made of human skin, don’t read from it.

This week, the comedic series Medical Police arrives. The show stars Rob Huebel and Erinn Hayes (creators of Children’s Hospital) as two doctors who are also police officers. Does that sound stupid? Well, that’s the point. As you can see from the trailer, the show combines your typical police and medical procedural shows into one perfect-looking comedy. You can check out the show for yourself when Season 1 drops on Friday.

Below, you’ll find everything headed to Netflix this week, and if you want to know more about what’s new to streaming services, check out our lists for what’s new to Disney+ and Amazon, Hulu, and Shudder for the week of January 5.
