Tech and gaming enthusiasts converged upon the bustling city of Taipei, Taiwan, for the annual consumer electronics showcase, Computex. This year, at the gaming-centric show, we saw a bevy of laptops featuring Nvidia's G-Sync technology for smoother game play, as well as a wide selection of gaming peripherals. We also saw USB 3.1 Type-C ports appear on many devices, and every major manufacturer promised to bring Windows 10 to their lineups. We scoured the show to bring you the best of what we saw at Computex 2015.
If the powerful, intimidatingly named MSI GT72 Dominator Pro didn't blow you away before, it's about to.

The updated gaming notebook also features Nvidia's G-Sync technology to deliver extremely smooth game play by synchronizing display refresh rates to the GPU, thus eliminating screen tearing and minimizing stuttering.

Even the most powerful gaming laptop starts looking lame when you see taring and visual artifacts on the screen. Previously available only on desktops, G-Sync allows a notebook's Nvidia GPU to communicate with the machine's display panel so that the refresh rate and the frame rate don't contradict each other during games. Major laptop vendors including Asus, MSI and Gigabyte all announced G-Sync-powered notebooks during Computex, ensuring that your AAA titles will look as good as they play.

Not only is the Asus E1Z projector the first to connect directly to Android tablets and phones via a wire, but it also boasts one of the highest brightness ratings we've seen for a pocket projector, at 150 lumens. This means you can stream your Android interface to any blank wall and get clearer and brighter quality. Depending on how far back you pull the projector, it can display clear images at up to 110 inches wide. With its high-capacity onboard battery, the E1z also doubles as a portable charger for your smartphone or tablet. MORE: Asus USB Projector Makes Your Phone's Images Big and Beautiful
