Die IPA-Datei von BasiliskII ladet ihr etwa über den AltStore Classic aufs Tablet. Die Mac OS 8.1.iso sowie das Quadra-650.ROM müsst ihr selbst im Internet finden und ins lokale Verzeichnis der iPad-App legen.

Als Einstellungen habe ich gewählt:

• Model: Quadra 900
• CPU: 68040
• RAM: 64 MB
  

Erstellt anschließend ein Macintosh HD.img mit 1.000 MB und zieht die Mac OS 8.1.iso in den Bereich „CD-ROM“.

Throughout this piece I haven’t mentioned Apple. While Apple did release a headset in 2024, It was never meant as a consumer product. The Apple Vision Pro was meant to test the waters, collect data, and build up their developer platform before the real AR product (probably some glasses) ships in the next few years.

I will say this about Apple; for how much I complain about their aggressiveness in shipping new features at the expense of software quality, Apple can sustain long term vision. They can plan and execute and iterate until the third one is good. Google can’t do that. Microsoft can’t do that (anymore). And Facebook can’t either.

Big Picture: Apple kann nicht tiefstapeln; Unterstatement liegt nicht in ihrer DNA. Selbst wenn die Vision deutlich zu früh startete, behaupten sie: “It’s an early-adopter product, for people who want tomorrow’s technology today.”

Das setzte (grandios) überzogene Erwartungen (“Today marks the beginning of a new era for computing”), die nicht ansatzweise zu erfüllen waren.

So wird und wurde die Brille in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung zurecht als Flop abgeschrieben, obwohl das Interface und die Plattform auf lange Sicht höchstwahrscheinlich zentral für Apple ausfallen – AI muss irgendwo laufen; Audio-only-Computing ist ungenügend.

Das Produkt, die Brille, ist bis heute gescheitert und trotzdem gibt keiner der beteiligten Akteure seine VR-/AR-Software-Entwicklung auf – obwohl das Smartphone auf Jahrzehnte hinaus weiter dominieren wird.

Wi-Fi standards remain as confusing as ever.

ASUS is often best when it's weird, and this year at CES 2026 the company decided to resurrect one of its weirdest laptops ever: the ROG Zephyrus Duo. Unlike the last model from 2023 that had a smallish, tilting second screen, the 2026 model rocks massive dual 16-inch OLED displays that should make it an ideal content creation and gaming machine. ASUS has now opened up pre-orders for the Zephyrus Duo and revealed that pricing will start at a breathtaking $4,500. 

The Zephyrus Duo is the "world's first 16-inch dual-screen gaming laptop," according to ASUS. It boasts a pair of 3K HDR OLED touchscreens that offer a combined 21 inches of diagonal screen space. They're DisplayHDR True Black 1000 certified, and can each hit 1,100 nits of peak HDR brightness. Both offer a 120Hz refresh rate and 0.2ms response time, though only the main screen supports NVIDIA G-Sync.

Another important piece is the detachable magnetic Bluetooth keyboard. Despite the thin 5.1mm profile, it offers a generous 1.7mm of key travel and ultra-large touchpad. With the two hinging touch displays and the keyboard, it offers five dedicated operation modes. Dual Screen mode removes the keyboard altogether, Laptop mode provides a standard 16-inch screen and keyboard setup, Sharing mode sets the Duo flat at 180 degrees, Book mode sets both screens in a portrait orientation, and Tent mode has the hinge forming an A-frame.

There's a lot of power under the hood, with a 16-core Intel Core Ultra 9 386H processor paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 or RTX 5090 laptop GPU with a max TGP of 135 watts. The latter is NVIDIA's flagship mobile GPU with the latest AI and gaming features including DLSS 4, frame generation and fourth-gen ray-tracing cores. It also comes with a redesigned motherboard and larger vapor chamber, along with dual fans to keep things cool. 

All of that is housed in a CNC-milled aluminum chassis with a new "Stellar Grey" colorway and "Slash" lighting array with 35 discrete zones. The Zyphyrus Duo is now available for pre-order from ASUS or partners including Newegg starting at $4,500 for the RTX 5070Ti version or (brace for it) $5,500 for the RTX 5090 version. Both models come with 32GB of memory and 1TB of PCIe 5.0 storage.

Framework’s Laptop 13 Pro may be the star of today’s launch, but it is by no means the only product the company is unveiling. We’re also seeing some quality-of-life upgrades for the Laptop 16, a new wireless keyboard and a carrying case. Plus, it’s addressing something a vast number of its own users have demanded for a while: A 10GB Ethernet expansion card.

Laptop 16

Framework

The top deck of the Laptop 16 is sufficiently customizable that you can cram in any number of modules alongside the keyboard and trackpad. If you want an area blank, then you can just put in the requisite spacer, but that creates an unintended problem for some users. CEO Nirav Patel admitted the areas where the modules sit side-by-side can trap some people’s arm hairs, leading to some unplanned depilations when they move away from the deck. To solve this, the company is releasing a new all-in-one trackpad and all-in-one keyboard cover. The trackpad has also been updated to the same haptic model found in the 13 Pro. Plus, it’s now available with a lower-end Ryzen 5 340 mainboard as a more affordable entry level model.

OCuLink Dev kit

At the back of the Laptop 16 is an expansion module slot that either holds a blank unit or the discrete graphics hardware. Last year, the company launched a module with an RTX 5070 inside and, now, it’s started thinking about using it for eGPUs as well. The OCuLink Dev Kit (pictured, above) is a prototype board using OCuLink 8i which can connect directly to your mainboard over its native PCIe lanes.

If you already own a blank module, you won’t need to buy a replacement either. Framework has ensured you can simply drop the OCuLink board into the slots of your existing one. As well as the board, the kit includes an OCuLink Dock that’ll let you slot in any off-the-shelf PCIe card — including GPUs, 100Gb Ethernet and video capture — and run it as if you had your very own desktop.

Sadly, it’s not yet ready for prime time and so far all the company has said is we’ll see more about the hardware “later this year.”

Wireless Touchpad Keyboard

“There’s one living room keyboard that everyone owns, that Logitech keyboard they haven’t updated in 15 years,” said Patel. “I’ve got two of them, polled the team, and a bunch of them all have the same keyboard,” he added. But Patel’s frustration drove him and his team to build their own, better model, which has been an idea since development work started on the Framework Desktop. It was only when the team learned that the Desktop was being used as a living room PC, however, that they actually brought it to market. It is, in fact, using the same excellent keyboard hardware as found on the Framework Laptop 12, repackaged for its all-in-one form.

Laptop Sleeve

Framework

Framework’s built a laptop sleeve containing extra pockets for your spare expansion cards and screwdriver. Patel said that the real focus was on ensuring the materials used had as small a carbon footprint as possible.

10Gb Ethernet Expansion Card

Rounding out the announcements is a 10Gb Ethernet expansion card for users who want a faster wired internet experience than the current 2.5Gb model. But this isn’t a Framework product per-se, but was designed and developed by hardware makers Wisdpi. Patel said the community is so passionate that they’re constantly looking at new chip and hardware announcements. They then head to the company’s forums to ask “Hey, like, can we get a Framework version of this?” he explained. The advent of a slender 10Gb Ethernet chip was enough to inspire one third-party developer to build an Expansion Card module to harness it. “Basically, we got in contact with them,” said Patel and offered some guidance to help build the module. And once it was finished, Framework is now acting as a reseller to enable the whole community to easily buy it. Patel admitted that a 10Gb Ethernet Card would inevitably cater to a fairly niche customer, but “love to see a third party come in and fill that gap.”
