In the wake of multiple tradeshows getting canceled, people were expecting Computex 2020 to meet the same fate as well but it looks like the biggest PC hardware event of the year has just been rescheduled to September 28-30, 2020. This is great news because it would mean that any announcements the companies were planning to make are just be delayed by roughly 4 months.
Computex 2020 rescheduled to the end of September
It goes without saying, however, that this reschedule should be taken with a grain of salt (oh the irony) because it's based on a few assumptions: namely the COVID pandemic achieving some sense of normality by the second half and things being on the road to recovery. If the reports about COVID becoming less virulent in summer are inaccurate, then it is possible that Computex, like its sister shows, is canceled in its entirety.
According to whispers on the grapevine, this reschedule was based on a report by McKinsey Consulting which expects COVID to get under control by Q3 of 2020. This is going to happen as soon as we have a reliable date for the availability of a vaccine and/or the Coronavirus dying out (unlikely). Whatever the case may be, all hardware enthusiasts would have their fingers crossed for the largest PC-centric trade show of the year.
