AMD 7nm Ryzen 3000 CPUs & 7nm Radeon VII!!! We’ve got performance and pricing info for AMD’s new Radeon VII GPU, some thoughts on AMD’s Content Creator push (It’s not just for gamers!), and, of course, Patrick wants even -more- deets on the 7nm Ryzen 3000 CPUs from AMD, but we can tell you if you’ll need a new motherboard right now!!!
Lenovo Smart Clock w/ Google Assistant! Amazon’s Echo Spot was expensive, awkward, and put not just Alexa, but a camera next to your bed. Lenovo’s Smart Clock with Google Assistant has some sweet features that make it useful, less irritating, and, hey, the design is sweet. Find out why in the video!
2019 Dell XPS 13 Kills The Nostrilcam! There are lots of reasons we like the latest Dell XPS 13, aka the 9380, just watch the video, but the biggest one is the location of the tiny new webcam!!!
Lenovo Yoga S940: So Touchable! The 13.9” screen options are gorgeous, but it was the details like the contoured edges on the screen, and the reverse notch for the webcam that Lenovo’s Yoga S940 the laptop you wanted to touch at CES 2019…. Lenovo is definitely gunning for the XPS 13!
ThinkPad X1 Carbon 7th Gen... Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a favorite, and the 7th Gen X1 looked amazing, from the new Carbon Fiber lid, the -FIVE- screen options, the excellent speaker upgrade, and the internal specs. Deets in the video!
Harry Potter Kano Coding Kit Teaching kids how to code and program with a Harry Potter wand? We’re in! Find out how Kano’s latest coding kit lets you cast spells from the books in the video!
Elac Carina, Emotiva T-Zeo, Kanto TUK Speakers!!! Speakers with Air Motion Transformer tweeters were all over CES, Patrick got ears on Elac’s Carina (Andrew Jones first AMT design!), Emotiva’s new T-Zero (Uses the same AirMotiv AMT as the T1 and T1), along with Kanto’s TUK, a self powered monitor with a headphone jack that -begs- to be put on a desktop! Deets in the video!
Fave CES Demo: Cambridge Audio's ALVA TT Bluetooth Turntable Patrick loves audio gear, but he’s not a vinyl LP kinda guy. Still, Cambridge Audio's demo of their new ALVA TT aptX HD Bluetooth Turntable was his favorite of the show. Find out why in the video!
Fave CES Demo: Acer Predator Thronos Gaming Chair! Shannon’s fave demo? Acer’s Predator Thronos Gaming Chair: 5 feet high, three 27” gaming monitors, deep impact vibration for when you get hit in a game, a foot rest… and a “cabin that reclines up to 140 degrees.” You need to see the video! PS - the Alienware/Intel Party was off the hook!!!
