You Can Now Check ASUS Laptop Spare Part Prices Online Before Booking a Repair
Repair costs are often unknown until you visit a service center. ASUS aims to address that with its new Part Price Checker, which lets customers check the prices of genuine spare parts online before booking a repair. The user just needs to provide the device’s serial number to view the prices of ASUS spare parts. This will give them an idea of the cost of repairs before going to a service center.
Part of the ASUS Assurance Program
The Part Price Checker is part of the ASUS Assurance program, which aims to make after-sales support more convenient for customers. The program is built around four key pillars: Assured Quality, Always-on Support, All-around Coverage, and Added-value Services. The new tool lets customers check the prices of genuine spare parts online before visiting a service center. This makes it easier to estimate repair costs before taking the device for service.
ASUS recently expanded the availability of genuine laptop batteries through its Exclusive Stores and authorized partners across India. The Part Price Checker builds on that effort by giving customers another way to plan repairs before booking a service.
Instead of guessing replacement costs, customers can determine the true cost before visiting their authorized ASUS repair facility. This enables customers to budget for the repair and schedule visits to the repair facility at a convenient time.

Our new favorite show, Widow’s Bay, was chock full of references and homages, and more than once we thought we spotted some Dark Shadows hat tips throughout the first season. We don’t know if the cursed island helped make it happen, but cult-beloved Gothic soap opera Dark Shadows will soon launch another comeback—this time, in animated form.
We say “another” because the show, created by horror legend Dan Curtis (The Night Stalker, Trilogy of Terror, Burnt Offerings), has been revived a few times since its original run, which spanned 1966 to 1971 on ABC and also included two feature films. There was a short-lived TV remake in 1991 and Tim Burton’s unfortunate 2012 big-screen adaptation.
But this new take is something entirely new: an adult animated series, coming from Warner Bros. Animation and just announced at the 2026 Annecy International Animation Film Festival. A press release from Warner Bros. notes the show is “currently in development” and specifically mentions the importance of the show’s main character, Barnabas Collins—played so memorably on the original show by the late Jonathan Frid—as “TV’s original anti-hero and the father of the modern-day vampire.”
While there’s not yet a network or streaming home for this new Dark Shadows, the release does note that part of the inspiration here is that the original series is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. Lisa Holdsworth is aboard as showrunner and executive producer, and the show is described as an “adult animated series continuing the saga of the Collins family. Blending gothic, horror, and supernatural genres, this coming adaptation promises all the dark twists and romantic intrigue that defined the transformational series across its 1,200-plus episode run.”
Are you ready to return to Collinsport for more vampires, witches, werewolves, spooky music boxes, curses, possessions, body swaps, and maybe even some time travel? And who would you cast as the voice of Barnabas Collins?

According to The Information, the White House told OpenAI it wants the company to release its next model in a limited fashion, to a select group of close partners.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reportedly told staff that the company’s newest model, GPT 5.6, will be launched very differently than previous ones, with the government approving access “customer by customer.”
Following this limited release period, the company should be able to launch the model more broadly a “couple of weeks” later, says the report.
OpenAI competitor Anthropic recently had to pull its most powerful model, Fable 5, after Trump’s administration intervened to keep the model out of foreign hands. The company previously launched Mythos, an even more powerful model, as a limited release open only to a small set of pre-approved customers.
As for OpenAI’s GPT 5.6, the model is reportedly a “meaningful improvement” over GPT 5.5, both in terms of context window size and efficiency.
In a memo sent to employees, Altman reportedly said that GPT 5.6 is not the company’s preferred long term model, and that OpenAI will work with the government and others in the industry “to achieve a more sustainable approach for future releases.”

William Gibson once famously said that “the future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed.” It appears that the same goes for frontier AI models.
