In Sunday’s segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Julie Snook) we discussed the key updates to Google’s AI chatbot, Bard.
As we reported earlier this week, Bard can now speak in more than 40 languages and analyse our photos. The service is easier to use and far more accessible since the update.
There are a couple of things to be aware of when using photos in your prompts. I mention what they are during the video.
THE LAPTOP SO THIN IT WILL FIT IN ANY TRAVEL BAG
The new ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED is the world’s thinnest laptop with an OLED display. It’s actually 10.9mm thin – so if you round down – it’s as good a centimetre at its thickest point.
Incredibly .. despite the size .. it also has 2 Thunderbolt 4 ports, 1 USB Type-A, HDMI, and audio combo jack. Yes .. all that in an ultra portable notebook.
The 13.3-inch OLED display has 2.8K resolution with 16:10 aspect ratio.
Despite the thin profile the Zenbook S13 OLED is powered by 13th-generation Intel Core processors, up to a Core i7-1355U. It also has up to 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD.
RRP A$2399.
It’s like the Windows version of the MacBook Air.
