CES 2020 is wrapped. We have seen as much as there is to see and we wanted to make
a video to just kind of let you know some of the things that we thought were
the coolest. That being said this is our top 5 of CES and of course we did not
get to see everything, but out of what we saw this is what we liked. The first
thing I want to tell you about is the UFO concept from Dell and Alienware. It
is a Switch-like portable device that's meant to run PC games. Now while no specs
were announced and it's just a concept so there's probably only three or four
of them in existence and we have no idea if they're ever coming to retail - what I
can tell you from getting hands-on with it is the "joy cons", the handlebars, are
removable just like you would expect. There is a kickstand built into it.
There's RGB on the controller sides as well, and it was running Mortal Kombat 11,
Halo: The Master Chief collection, and apparently even Crysis. I didn't get to
see Crysis but I can vouch for the other two with no problem at all, it looked
stunning. It was a little beefier and a little heavier than one might expect for
a portable gaming unit, but considering what hardware specs it might have
running inside I thought that was pretty impressive. Again totally just a concept
we have no idea if it's ever coming to market but I never knew that I needed to
Switch-like device for my PC games until I got a chance to hold one. The next one
that I want to talk to you about is the Tesla Suit. Now this is not affiliated
with Tesla proper, the Tesla suit is its own company, but it is a full body haptic
VR suit. Now this suit has over 80 channels as
opposed to 9-16 that you would see in a traditional VR suit. I say traditional
VR suit lovingly meaning if you go to CES every year and you try on a bunch of
VR suits. It has more channels of feedback than what you might be used to.
It's also interesting that it's using EMS and T.E.N.S. or TENS, however you say it
feedback, so it's giving you supposedly a more realistic feedback than just haptic
vibration. It uses biometric feedback as well as motion capture to give you a
smooth experience. I thought it was really cool
and I am ready to jump into the Oasis a-la Ready Player One. Another device
that we saw that we thought was really cool was brought to you by Lenovo. I
didn't get a chance to see this personally, but Aaron on our Newegg team
did. Come on in here Aaron. Hey what's up. Tell me what you saw at Lenovo that you
liked. So yeah the best thing by far there was a ton of cool hardware but the
best one was definitely the foldable PC. There's a lot of like foldable phones
out there and they even had one the new razor, but the PC is something that I
hadn't seen before and it's really small. It's a 13 inch panel when
fully straightened out and then it folds into being you can
either go two screens one on the top one on the bottom, or you can take the Bluetooth keyboard that comes with it and put it on one of the screens to act
like a like a normal laptop. Yeah I think that they are marketing it
more for like an office, unless you're like you know playing anything. You said
that in your article believe that you think you think this could be a
game-changer for office professionals. Yeah it's great because if you have it
all straightened out on your desk and you're working there
if you have a meeting or you have to go to lunch or something yeah you just put
the keyboard on fold the whole thing up and take it with you. You don't need
extra cables or you know docks, monitors, anything like that. It was really
cool. And one of the coolest things about it is that it's not just a concept
device or a prototype, it's coming to market this year right? Yeah they said
it's supposed to come in summer and they were hopeful that it would come out in
June, but they had nothing planned on yet. And I think I saw around the $2,500
price point? $3,000. Ooooh mama. Yeah it's definitely not a... everybody friendly
budget, but I assume you know like solid states and everything else in the past
it'll probably come down at some point. Yeah. Awesome thanks Aaron! Yeah no
problem. Cool. Let's see what else I saw that I thought was great,
Asus and NVIDIA got together to make the ROG Swift 360 Hz
monitor, which according to them is the world's first 360 Hz gaming monitor.
They had a beautiful set up panning across a video game in 360 frames
per second versus 60 or 144, and you could noticeably tell the difference and
they did that intentionally to combat the conversation that people have
where they're like "I can't see the difference anyway, it doesn't matter". Let
me just tell you when you see them side by side you can see the difference, and
where it mattered most was in reading small text if you're scrolling very
quickly. So if you're playing a gam and you need to see specifically who a
player is while things are moving very fast, this is really cool and it was
really nice to see in person, especially with that demo. The Razor Tomahawk gaming
desktop is the last product that I want to mention in this kind of best of CES
wrap-up video. The chassis itself will be sold separately, or you can buy a
prebuilt from Razer, or maybe even just a kit, I'm not exactly sure on that, but it
can have up to a 9th gen i9 and a full desktop size GPU in a very mini
form-factor mini PC. It's built on the Intel NUC 9 Extreme Compute Element so
yeah it can handle whatever you need it to handle. It's got, speaking of handles,
it's got a handle on the side that you can slide out to very easily access all
your components, which i think will be really nice for either first-time
builders or people who are maybe a little timid to build. You just slide it
out, no joke, plug everything in and slide it back in and you're ready to go.
Because of that super form factor I could see people taking this with them
to LAN parties and I could also see people who might be a little bit more
shy about getting under the hood to even mod or clean their PC feeling a lot more
confident to do those things. So those have been some of our favorite things
that we saw at CES for 2020. Thank you guys for being there for the journey, and
I'll see you soon with more Newegg content.
