15× Optical Zoom Leica Lens – 24mm Wide to 360mm Telephoto

The Panasonic LUMIX ZS300 carries a 15× optical zoom lens built to Leica standards, covering a focal range from 24mm wide-angle to 360mm telephoto. That 360mm reach is aimed squarely at concerts, sports events, and travel — situations where interchangeable-lens cameras may not be allowed or practical, and a smartphone zoom falls short.

LUMIX advanced image stabilisation is built in, reducing blur in both photos and video across the zoom range.

20.1MP 1.0-Type BSI CMOS Sensor – Low Light, Built-in Flash

Behind the lens sits a 1.0-type (1-inch class) BSI CMOS sensor with 20.1 megapixels. The larger sensor size compared to typical compact cameras pulls in more light, which helps in dimly lit venues. A built-in flash covers situations where ambient light isn’t enough.

4K Video Recording, 4K Photo Mode at 30fps

Video records at 4K resolution, capturing travel and event footage with full detail. 4K Photo mode shoots at 30fps, letting users pull individual frames as high-resolution stills after the fact — useful for fast-moving subjects where timing a single shutter press is tricky.

AF Macro – Focus as Close as 1.18 Inches

At the wide end, the autofocus system locks on subjects as close as 1.18 inches (3 cm) in macro mode. For close-up detail shots — food, textures, small objects — the camera can get right up against the subject.

22 Creative Filter Effects

22 built-in filter effects are available for in-camera creative processing. Filters are applied at the time of capture, so there’s no need for post-processing software to achieve stylised looks.

Bluetooth + Wi-Fi Connectivity, USB Type-C Charging

Wireless pairing works through the Panasonic Image App. The camera connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth for initial pairing, then transfers photos and videos over Wi-Fi.

Charging uses a USB Type-C cable, compatible with standard AC adapters, computers, and power banks — no proprietary charger needed.

Pocket-Sized Design for Travel and Events

The LUMIX ZS300 is designed to fit in bags and large pockets. Panasonic positions it as a travel and event camera for situations where a full interchangeable-lens system is impractical or not permitted — concerts, stadiums, and day trips where size and weight matter.

NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip – 1 PetaFLOP AI, ARM v9.2-A CPU + Blackwell GPU

The ASUS Ascent GX10 GX10-GG0016BN is built around the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip. This isn’t a CPU-plus-discrete-GPU setup — the ARM-based Grace CPU (v9.2-A) and Blackwell GPU sit on the same package, connected through NVIDIA NVLink-C2C for ultra-fast memory communication between the two.

NVIDIA rates the GB10 at 1 petaFLOP of AI performance, with enough compute to handle fine-tuning of models up to 200 billion parameters locally. The chipset is listed as integrated — there’s no separate motherboard chipset in the traditional sense.

128GB Unified LPDDR5x Memory

128GB LPDDR5x in a unified memory configuration — the CPU and GPU share the same pool through NVLink-C2C rather than moving data back and forth between separate RAM and VRAM. On AI workloads, that shared pool eliminates the copy overhead that traditional CPU+GPU setups deal with.

4TB PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSD Storage

Storage is a 4TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 5.0 SSD — enough room for model weights, datasets, and training checkpoints on a 200B-parameter model without relying on external drives.

10G Ethernet, NVIDIA ConnectX-7 SmartNIC, Wi-Fi 7

Three networking interfaces on this machine:

• 1× 10G Gigabit Ethernet port
• 1× NVIDIA ConnectX-7 SmartNIC — supports dual GX10 stacking for scaled-up compute across two units
• Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be, 2×2) with Bluetooth 5.4 (AW-EM637 module)

The ConnectX-7 port enables scaling. Two GX10 units can be physically stacked using the magnetic feet on the chassis and linked through the SmartNIC for combined throughput — doubling the available compute and memory for larger workloads.

I/O Ports – 4× USB-C (20 Gbps), HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1

Everything lives on the rear panel:

• 3× USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C (20 Gbps, DisplayPort 2.1 Alt mode)
• 1× USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C with 180W PD input (EPR PD 3.1 spec)
• 1× HDMI 2.1
• 1× NVIDIA ConnectX-7 SmartNIC port
• 1× 10G Ethernet (RJ-45)
• 1× Kensington lock slot

The front panel has a single power button. Display output is available through both HDMI 2.1 and the three USB-C ports via DisplayPort 2.1 Alt mode.

Power – 240W Adapter, 180W USB-C PD Input

Included is a 240W external AC adapter. One of the four USB-C ports doubles as a 180W PD input (EPR PD 3.1 spec), offering an alternate way to power the unit.

150 × 150 × 51 mm Chassis – 1.48 kg, Stackable Magnetic Feet

The chassis is roughly the footprint of a large coaster. The anodized metal build handles heat dissipation, and the magnetic feet align two units for physical stacking when using ConnectX-7 networking between them.

Software – Ubuntu Linux, NVIDIA AI Stack, DGX OS

Out of the box, the GX10 runs Ubuntu Linux with NVIDIA’s full AI software stack — the same toolchain found on DGX systems. That means CUDA, cuDNN, TensorRT, and NVIDIA’s container ecosystem are all part of the package.

Intel has listed the Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus desktop processor on Amazon US. The current price is $227.38 (Lowest Price on March 26, 2026). Intel’s recommended customer price is $174–$184.

This is the F-series variant — same 18-core Arrow Lake silicon as the 250K Plus, but with no integrated graphics. A discrete GPU is required. Without the GPU’s 8 TOPS, total AI performance drops to 22 TOPS (vs 30 on the 250K). ECC memory and Intel vPro are also absent on this SKU, which matters if workstation or enterprise use is on the table.

The chip is built on TSMC N3B (3nm-class) with 18 cores / 18 threads (6P + 12E), up to 5.3 GHz, 30MB Smart Cache + 30MB L2, 125W/159W power, DDR5-7200 (up to 256GB), PCIe 5.0/4.0, and Thunderbolt 4.

As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

18 Cores, 18 Threads – 6 P-Cores + 12 E-Cores, Up to 5.3 GHz

Core layout mirrors the 250K exactly: 6 P-cores and 12 E-cores, totalling 18 cores and 18 threads (no Hyper-Threading on Arrow Lake). Intel Thread Director handles scheduling between the two core types.

Standard Turbo Boost 2.0 only — no Turbo Boost Max 3.0 on the Ultra 5 tier.

30MB Smart Cache + 30MB L2, TSMC N3B, 125W/159W

Cache is 30MB Intel Smart Cache (L3) and 30MB L2 — identical to the 250K Plus. Fabricated on TSMC N3B, with a 125W base power and 159W max turbo power.

No Integrated Graphics – Discrete GPU Required

The “F” in 250KF means zero Xe-cores, no Intel Quick Sync Video, and no display outputs from the processor. A discrete graphics card must be installed for any video output.

This also removes the GPU’s contribution to AI workloads. Total TOPS drops from 30 (on the 250K) to 22 TOPS — just CPU and NPU.

Intel AI Boost NPU – 13 TOPS, Sparsity, Windows Studio Effects

The Intel AI Boost NPU remains at 13 TOPS (Int8) with sparsity support and Windows Studio Effects compatibility. AI frameworks supported: OpenVINO, WindowsML, DirectML, ONNX RT, and WebNN.

Even without the iGPU, the NPU still handles background blur, noise cancellation, and similar on-device AI tasks independently.

DDR5-7200 (256GB Max, No ECC), PCIe 5.0/4.0, Thunderbolt 4

Two differences from the 250K Plus worth flagging: no ECC memory support and no vPro eligibility.

What the 250KF Plus Drops vs the 250K Plus

For buyers deciding between the two Ultra 5 SKUs, here’s what the F-series loses:

Everything else — cores, clocks, cache, TDP, NPU, memory speed, PCIe lanes, Thunderbolt, socket — is the same.

18 Cores, 18 Threads – 6 P-Cores + 12 E-Cores, Up to 5.3 GHz

The core layout is 6 Performance cores and 12 Efficiency cores for a total of 18 cores and 18 threads. Like the rest of the Arrow Lake lineup, there’s no Hyper-Threading — each core runs a single thread.

Interesting to note: the P-core base clock here (4.2 GHz) is actually higher than the Ultra 7 270K Plus’s 3.7 GHz base, though the 270K Plus pulls ahead on turbo with 5.5 GHz via Turbo Boost Max 3.0. The 250K Plus uses standard Turbo Boost 2.0 only.

30MB Smart Cache + 30MB L2, TSMC N3B, 125W/159W

Cache totals 30MB Intel Smart Cache (L3) and 30MB L2. The chip is fabbed on TSMC N3B and draws 125W at base (PBP) with a max turbo power of 159W (MTP) — considerably less thermal headroom needed compared to the 270K Plus’s 250W ceiling.

30 TOPS AI – Intel AI Boost NPU (13 TOPS), 4 Xe-Core GPU (8 TOPS)

Combined AI throughput reaches 30 TOPS (Int8) across all three engines:

• NPU: 13 TOPS (Intel AI Boost, sparsity, Windows Studio Effects)
• GPU: 8 TOPS (4 Xe-cores, up to 1.9 GHz)

24 Cores, 24 Threads – 8 P-Cores + 16 E-Cores, No Hyper-Threading

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus runs 24 cores and 24 threads — thread count matches core count, as Arrow Lake drops Hyper-Threading entirely. The split is 8 Performance cores and 16 Efficiency cores, managed by Intel Thread Director for workload-aware scheduling between the two core types.

Clock speeds per core type:

That top 5.5 GHz number comes from Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, which identifies the best-performing P-cores and drives them beyond the standard turbo ceiling. Standard Turbo Boost 2.0 is also onboard.

36MB Smart Cache + 40MB L2, TSMC N3B Lithography

Cache is generous — 36MB Intel Smart Cache (L3) plus 40MB total L2 cache. The processor is manufactured on TSMC’s N3B process node (3nm-class), and the power envelope runs from 125W base (PBP) to 250W max turbo (MTP).

36 TOPS AI Performance – Intel AI Boost NPU (13 TOPS), 4 Xe-Core GPU (8 TOPS)

Total AI throughput across all engines hits 36 TOPS (Int8):

• CPU: 15 TOPS (Intel DL Boost)
• GPU: 8 TOPS (4 Xe-cores, up to 2 GHz)
• NPU: 13 TOPS (Intel AI Boost, sparsity support, Windows Studio Effects)

AI framework support spans OpenVINO, WindowsML, DirectML, ONNX RT, and WebNN across CPU and NPU, with WebGPU on the GPU side.

Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus – 24 Cores, 24 Threads, 5.5 GHz, 36 TOPS, 125W/250W

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus runs 24 cores and 24 threads — 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores — with no Hyper-Threading (threads equal cores across the entire Arrow Lake lineup).

Clock speeds break down per core type:

The top 5.5 GHz figure comes from Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, which identifies the best-performing cores and pushes them beyond the standard P-core turbo. Cache totals 36MB Intel Smart Cache plus 40MB L2. Power envelope is 125W base / 250W max turbo.

Add it all up — CPU, GPU, and NPU — and total AI throughput lands at 36 TOPS (Int8).

Price: $357.12 (Intel RCP: $289–$299)

Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus – 18 Cores, 18 Threads, 5.3 GHz, 30 TOPS, 125W/159W

Stepping down to 18 cores and 18 threads — 6 P-cores at up to 5.3 GHz and 12 E-cores at up to 4.6 GHz. P-core base sits at 4.2 GHz, E-core base at 3.3 GHz. Cache is 30MB Smart Cache + 30MB L2.

Power draw is lower here: 125W base / 159W max turbo — a significant drop from the 270K Plus’s 250W ceiling. Combined AI performance reaches 30 TOPS with integrated graphics and NPU active.

Integrated graphics stick around — 4 Xe-cores clocked up to 1.9 GHz, with Intel Quick Sync Video handling H.264/H.265/AV1 in hardware, and output to up to 4 displays over DP 2.1 UHBR20 and HDMI 2.1 FRL. ECC memory and Intel vPro Enterprise are both supported on this SKU.

Price: $219.99 (Intel RCP: $189–$199)

Intel Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus – 18 Cores, 18 Threads, 5.3 GHz, 22 TOPS, No iGPU

Identical core layout and clocks to the 250K — 18 cores (6P + 12E), 5.3 GHz max turbo, 125W / 159W power, 30MB Smart Cache + 30MB L2. The difference is the “F” suffix: no integrated graphics. Zero Xe-cores, no Quick Sync, no display outputs from the CPU. A discrete GPU is required.

Without the GPU’s 8 TOPS contribution, total AI performance drops to 22 TOPS (CPU + NPU only). ECC memory is not supported on the 250KF, and there’s no vPro eligibility — distinctions that matter for workstation or enterprise builds.

Price: $227.38 (Intel RCP: $174–$184)

Intel AI Boost NPU – 13 TOPS on All Three Processors

All three chips carry the Intel AI Boost NPU at 13 TOPS (Int8) with sparsity support and Windows Studio Effects compatibility. Supported AI frameworks include OpenVINO, WindowsML, DirectML, ONNX RT, and WebNN.

The NPU runs AI inference independently of the CPU and GPU — background removal, noise suppression, eye contact correction, and similar tasks in supported apps offload here instead of eating into CPU cycles.

LGA1851 Platform – TSMC N3B, DDR5-7200 (256GB Max), PCIe 5.0, Thunderbolt 4

Platform specs are identical across the lineup:

Amazon has announced four new 2026 Video Doorbells — the flagship Battery Doorbell Pro (2nd Gen) with Retinal 4K video, along with the Battery Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen), Battery Doorbell (2nd Gen), and Wired Doorbell (2nd Gen). All four are available for pre-order on Amazon.com, starting at $79.99 for the Wired model and going up to $249.99 for the Battery Doorbell Pro.

Each model ships with a free Ring AI Pro trial, and two new solar accessories — the Ring Solar Charger ($49.99) and Ring Solar Panel ($59.99) — launch alongside the lineup.

Pricing & Availability

All models available for pre-order on Amazon.com.

Ring Battery Doorbell Pro (2nd Gen) – Retinal 4K Video, 10× Zoom, Battery Powered

The top of the 2026 lineup. The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro (2nd Gen) is the first battery-powered Ring doorbell to shoot Retinal 4K video. Previous Ring doorbells maxed out at 1080p or 2K — this jumps straight to 4K without requiring hardwired power.

Enhanced Zoom goes up to 10×, letting users crop into specific details like faces, package labels, or licence plates from recorded footage. The internal architecture has been redesigned from the ground up to handle 4K capture on battery power.

Motion detection, night vision, and real-time alerts through the Ring app are all onboard.

Price: $249.99

Ring Battery Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen) – Retinal 2K Video, Quick Release Battery

Sitting one step below the Pro, the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen) records in Retinal 2K video. The key addition here is the Quick Release Battery Pack — the battery detaches faster for recharging, so the doorbell spends less time offline.

Motion detection, night vision, and Ring app alerts carry over from the rest of the lineup.

Price: $179.99

Ring Battery Doorbell (2nd Gen) – 2K Video, 6× Zoom, Rechargeable

The mid-range option. The Ring Battery Doorbell (2nd Gen) captures 2K video with up to 6× Enhanced Zoom. It’s a streamlined, rechargeable design — no Quick Release Battery on this one, but the price drops accordingly.

All the core features are here: motion detection, night vision, and real-time Ring app alerts.

Price: $99.99

Ring Wired Doorbell (2nd Gen) – Retinal 2K Video, Hardwired Installation

For homes with existing doorbell wiring, the Ring Wired Doorbell (2nd Gen) offers Retinal 2K video at the lowest price in the lineup. No battery to charge — it draws power from the existing doorbell circuit.

Motion detection, night vision, and real-time alerts are included.

Price: $79.99

Ring AI Pro – Video Descriptions, Keyword Search, 180-Day History

Every 2026 Ring doorbell ships with a free Ring AI Pro trial. The subscription adds AI-driven features on top of the standard Ring app:

• Video Descriptions — AI-generated text summaries of motion events, so you can skim activity without watching every clip
• Video Search — search through recorded footage using keywords like “person”, “package”, or “car”
• Up to 180 days of video history storage
• Extended Live View for longer real-time monitoring sessions

Ring AI Pro requires a paid subscription after the trial period ends.

Ring Solar Charger, Solar Panel, Faceplate, Chime Plus – 2026 Accessories

Two solar accessories launch alongside the doorbells:

• Ring Solar Charger ($49.99) — integrates directly into the doorbell’s mounting design, with the doorbell sitting on top of the charger. Keeps the battery topped up with ambient light. Compatible with Battery Doorbell, Battery Doorbell Plus, and Battery Doorbell Pro (newest models).
• Ring Solar Panel ($59.99) — a separate panel with higher power output, flexible mounting options (including roof mounting and adjustable angles), and compatibility with the Quick Release Battery Pack for extended battery life. Compatible with Battery Doorbell, Battery Doorbell Plus, and Battery Doorbell Pro (newest models).

Additional accessories:

• Ring Interchangeable Faceplate — compatible with Battery Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen) and Battery Doorbell Pro (2nd Gen), allowing users to swap the front cover to match their door or home exterior.
• Ring Chime Plus — an indoor chime that plays doorbell alerts and notifications through the home, extending the Ring system beyond phone notifications.

The Battery Doorbell Pro (2nd Gen) is the only model with 4K video and 10× zoom. The Plus (2nd Gen) and Wired (2nd Gen) both use “Retinal 2K” branding, while the standard Battery Doorbell (2nd Gen) records in 2K without the Retinal label. The Quick Release Battery Pack is exclusive to the Plus model.

WiFi 7 Tri-Band BE18000 – Up to 18 Gbps, 320 MHz, 4K-QAM, 10 Streams

Speeds break down across three bands:

Combined throughput reaches approximately 18 Gbps (11528 + 5764 + 1376). The router uses 320 MHz channels on the 6 GHz band, 4K-QAM modulation, and Multi-RU allocation. Ten internal antennas are positioned for wide coverage, with beamforming focusing signals toward connected devices.

TP-Link rates coverage at 3,600 sq. ft. with up to 150 simultaneous devices.

Multi-Link Operation (MLO) – Multiple Bands, One Connection

MLO bonds multiple WiFi bands into a single logical connection. Instead of picking one band, compatible devices — like the iPhone 16/17 Pro or Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra — use several bands at once for higher throughput, lower latency, and fewer drops.

Dual 10 Gbps Ports, 4× Gigabit LAN, 2× USB 3.0

Wired connectivity on the TP-Link Archer BE770 goes well beyond the usual gigabit setup:

• 1× 10 Gbps WAN port
• 1× 10 Gbps LAN port
• 4× 1 Gbps LAN ports
• 2× USB 3.0 ports

The 10G WAN port is ready for multi-gig internet plans, and the 10G LAN port connects directly to a NAS, workstation, or switch at full speed. USB 3.0 supports FTP Server, Media Server, and Samba Server with NTFS, exFAT, HFS+, and FAT32 file systems.

HomeShield Security – Real-Time IoT Protection, Intrusion Prevention, Parental Controls

TP-Link HomeShield handles network security and family controls:

Security features:

• Real-Time IoT Protection
• Malicious Site Blocker
• Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
• DDoS Attack Prevention
• Home Network Scanner
• SPI Firewall
• Access Control

• Application Layer Gateway

Parental Controls:

• Professional content filter library
• Family Time, Bedtime, and Off Time scheduling
• Time Rewards
• Family online time ranking
• Pause the Internet
• Weekly and monthly reports

TP-Link is a signatory of the CISA Secure-by-Design pledge, with security integrated into device design, development, and ongoing maintenance.

VPN Server and Client – WireGuard, OpenVPN, L2TP, PPTP

Full VPN support in both directions:

Guest Network and IoT Network

Three guest networks are available — one on each band (6 GHz, 5 GHz, and 2.4 GHz). A separate IoT Network isolates smart home devices from the main network.

WiFi encryption supports WPA, WPA2, WPA3, and WPA/WPA2-Enterprise (802.1x).

EasyMesh Compatible – Whole-Home Mesh Expansion

The Archer BE770 works with any EasyMesh-compatible router or range extender to form a seamless whole-home mesh network. Worth noting: it is not compatible with TP-Link’s own Deco mesh systems.

The router operates in Router Mode or Access Point Mode. It also works with Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control.

WAN, IPTV, and Network Features

WAN connection types include Dynamic IP, Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP, and L2TP. Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.

Additional network features:

• NAT Forwarding: Port forwarding, port triggering, DMZ, UPnP
• IPTV: IGMP Proxy, IGMP Snooping, Bridge, Tag VLAN
• DHCP: Server, client list, address reservation
• DDNS: TP-Link, NO-IP, DynDNS
