Asus has been extremely busy at this year’s Computex, and its general focus seems to be locked firmly on the next-generation of displays. We’ve already seen the Taiwanese company unveil a 4K-capable tablet and two 4K resolution monitors. So obviously the next step would be to round out its trifecta of devices with a high-resolution all-in-one PC. The Asus ET2702 AiO is just what you’d expect given the company’s track record this year with Ultra HD. This impressive looking AiO features a sleek 27-inch IPS display with a max resolution of 2560 x 1440.

The design aesthetic for this AiO is rather simplistic upon first glance with an edge-to-edge glass setup placed precariously above a lengthy speaker bar. The keyboard and mouse are also artistically driven, once again boasting that simplistic design but accentuated with what appears to be brushed aluminum. Even the mouse itself is metallic-looking  and it’s easily one of the cooler looking mice we have seen at this year’s event. Other unique additions include some white LED accent lights and a sturdy triangular aluminum base.

Engadget gave us a glimpse of the device, and although they claim to have only spent a few moments with it, they seemed impressed by the display’s ability to provide excellent viewing even under harsh lighting conditions.

U.S.-based customers will only have access to one configuration upon launch. The Asus ET2702 AiO includes a 2TB HDD, Core i7-4770 processor, 16GB of RAM, a 2GB AMD Radeon HD 8890A video card, Blu-ray drive, and 802.11ac wireless capability. The entire setup should be available sometime around late July or early August for a possible MSRP of $2,000.

There are some great machines in the 15-inch laptop category, which has recently been stretched to include the more common 16-inch laptop. The best among them is the Apple MacBook Pro 16, which offers fast performance for tasks like video editing and the longest battery life.

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 is aimed not only at other 16-inch Windows laptops but also at the MacBook Pro 16. It offers many of the same benefits but at a lower price. Can it take a place at the top?

How to set an ‘Out of Office’ message in Microsoft Teams
Person using Windows 11 laptop on their lap by the window.

Many people use Microsoft Teams regularly to communicate with colleagues both inside of the office and remotely. It is considered one of the most efficient ways to ensure you can stay in contact with the people on your team, but what if you need to let people know you’re not readily available? Microsoft Teams has a method for you to set up an "Out of Office" status for your profile to let staff members know when you’ll be gone for the afternoon, for several days on vacation, or for an extended period.
Where do I go to set up my ‘Out of Office’ status for Teams?
It is important to note that your Microsoft Teams and Outlook calendars are synced. This includes your out-of-office status and automatic replies. So, whatever you set up in Microsoft Teams will reflect in Outlook. Similarly, you can set up your out-of-office status in Outlook, and it will be reflected in Teams; however, the former has a more straightforward instruction.

First, you can click on your profile icon in Teams and go directly to Schedule an out of office, as a shortcut. This will take you to the settings area where you can proceed. You can also click the three-dot icon next to your profile icon, then go to Settings > General, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. There, you'll find out-of-office settings and click Schedule.
