Computex 2026 was another amazing experience, bringing together thousands of vendors across the whole technology spectrum. Much remained from 2025, but the overall focus of the event had definitely shifted from the previous year.
The highlights for me:
- Year of Physical AI: While previous years focused on AI models and agents, this was undoubtedly the year of physical AI. In fact, it was such a big focus they dedicated an entire new site to robotics in the Taipei World Trade Center. Many companies showcased robots and their applications, giving us a taste for what’s to come as robotics continues to gain momentum. Unitree was the most popular device, with many walking around the venue and showing off their engagement capabilities. There were many custom robotics too, with a focus on actual manufacturing applications, stepping away from big industrial robots to light, humanoid form-factors.
- Spark: Unsurprisingly, NVIDIA’s new Spark system took front and centre as a perfect tool for physical AI. Many stands described how they used Spark as an important part of their system, showing how they were superior to their competitors.
- Jensen mania: Jensen has always been popular, but this felt crazier than normal. He visited Computex on the first day and for a good hour or two one of the floors was just swarming with people trying to get a glimpse of the legend. I gave up waiting as it was getting far too hot with all the people, but I was lucky enough to get a quick glimpse of the leather-clad hero as I tried to navigate my way out.

While there’s a lot of serious technology, at its heart, Computex still feels like an absolute theme park for anyone tech-inclined. On top of the cutting-edge technology, there’s also plenty of fun to be had with racing simulators to try, captivating PC builds and keyboards to tap away on.
And, of course, the merch.
