Welcome back to great day Washington.
This segment is sponsored by dailylounge.com.
You probably just bought your team the latest
tech over the holidays or your husband.
But now is the time to start getting
ideas for this year because the Consumer
Electronics Show or CES is opening today.
It's where the top tech
of the year is released.
And joining us live from the Las
Vegas show Floor Tech contributor
Katie Linendoll with her top picks.
Happy New Year to you, Katie.
How are you?
Happy New Year and every new year.
If you're a techie,
you know that January kicks off CES,
which is of course all the product unveils
as you just noted and all the exciting
gadgets in the world of technology.
So excited to just jump in and share with
you the latest in trends from sleep data
to flying cars and I'll just hop right in.
And it's exciting to partner with so
many amazing companies and one thing
that people expect every year from
CES is the best in computing and one
of the big announcements yesterday.
Was from Acer they announced the new
Nitro 16 gaming laptop and what's
big about this is consumers that
we're finding is gaming becomes more
and more popular.
This is the device.
The Nitro 16 has got you covered.
With all these powerful tech specs we've
come a long way in the computing world.
AMD Rising 7000 series processor and
NVIDIA GE Force RTX 40 Series laptop GPU.
All that to say you're getting the best
gaming experience and performance.
A lot of people very excited for
this to level up in the world
of not only their laptop.
But also gaming.
So it's a little bit of a sneak
peek that'll be out later this year.
But then one of the big trends that people
are finding a lot across the consumer
space is sleep and sleep technology.
And on the forefront of that is sleep number,
which of course you know,
all their stores across the
country are online.
They have actually introduced
at CES a climate 360 smart bed.
Now check this out because this
is really interesting.
It's the only sleep solution to actually
adjust temperature based on your concern.
So if you need air.
A little bit hotter at night or if
you're a little bit cooler at night,
it will actually adjust to
regulate your temperature.
They found that 80% of couples reported
that one or more of the partners sleep
too old or too caught or too hot.
Now this actually allows you to
personalize the side of the bed.
So very cool future forward technology.
And then just to hook you up with
two more from the show floor, Go V,
which is a leader in the lighting
technology for the smart home.
They have actually come together
and put together an AI.
Gaming Sync box kit.
What this does is it'll actually allows you
to sync your game play with your lighting.
So imagine being able to take this
immersive experience while you're
gaming and bring it even more to life
and more realistic with corresponding
real time lighting effects.
All this made possible by Govies
proprietary algorithm happening behind
the scenes called Cockney Glow.
So very high tech and very cool,
especially for those people that
love their gaming,
myself included.
And last but certainly not least,
I just got to end with something
super high tech.
Everybody always asks about the flying car.
Well, it may be here sooner than you thought.
The Asca A5 is a flying car made for land,
made for sky up to 250 mph on a charge.
It is about the size of an SUV and
can fit into a regular parking space.
It can run on EV,
but also of course regular gas and get
excited because $800,000 is the price point.
Yeah, it's a little steep, but they
also want to come to ride share by 2026.
So your Uber ride.
Might be leveling up.
You can check out all these
gadgets at dailylounge.com.
We are keeping tabs on all the latest
and greatest and exciting for another
year of awesome new technology.
The flying car there Katie,
but I love the ride. Share that.
Just take a little flight over.
What is surprised you?
Was there an area that has exposed
exploded more that surprised
you or what are you saying?
You know, we're seeing a lot on the
AI side and that being mixed with
so many different industry sectors.
Of course I'm all for ethical AI.
That is a buzzword that we heard about.
You know, the last few years it became
more and more popping up, popping up.
But it's exciting to see where that's
going and where the conversations
are going for 2023 and beyond.
So much to look forward to.
Katie, thank you so much for taking
some time to join us this morning.
We appreciate it.
Thank you. Happy New Year,
happy New Year once again.
