Asus ROG opened pre-orders for its latest gaming laptops, Canva rolled out Offline Mode, Adobe unveiled a new enterprise AI platform, Samsung announced offers on its Bespoke AI appliances, SaffronStays launched a consumer app, and Mazen by Amkette unveiled a new GaNSense charger lineup.

Here’s a quick look at some of the most notable launches and showcases of the day, highlighting their key features and availability.

Canva users can now continue creating designs even in the absence of the internet. The online design platform has introduced Offline Mode, allowing users to work even with limited connectivity.

Announced earlier this year at Canva Create, the latest update enables users to work uninterrupted while travelling, in remote classrooms, or in areas with unstable connectivity. Once users regain internet access, their work automatically syncs across devices.

The company said the feature was introduced in response to one of the most requested demands from its global user community and could be useful in markets such as India, where digital adoption is rising, but network availability can vary. Available at no additional cost to all users, Offline Mode allows designs to be saved for up to 14 days without an internet connection. Users can activate the feature by selecting ‘Make available offline’ without requiring extra downloads or subscriptions.
