The Best of the 2012 International CES
January 14, 2012 | 07:32
For those of you who like your technology to be as portable as possible, this year's CES had plenty to go at. Even ignoring Intel's focus on Ultrabooks, tablets and mobiles were still a big theme at the event.
Asus teases upgraded Transformer Prime
The Transformer Prime convertible Android-powered tablet-cum-netbook is barely on shop shelves and already Asus is toying with the idea of launching an upgraded version for those with particularly good eyesight.
1920x1080 in a tablet? Whatever next?
Dubbed the TF700T, the new Transformer Prime includes the same Nvidia Tegra 3 processor and 10.1in layout as its predecessor, but increases the display resolution to a whopping 1920 x 1200 and modifies the design to improve Wi-Fi and GPS signal strength.
Razer reveals Project Fiona
Its design has been the cause of some controversy among our readers, but Razer's Project Fiona is nothing short of dramatic: featuring a 10in display, the Core i7-powered tablet uses a pair of force-feedback capable controllers either side of the screen to bring PC games to a portable realm. With the clamshell Switchblade still likely vapourware, few are believing Razer's claimed plans to launch the device later this year at around $1,000.
Nokia launches new flagship Lumia
If you found Nokia's Lumia 800 flagship Windows Phone a trifle underwhelming, good news: the company has launched a new top-end model, the Lumia 900, which features a much more impressive 4.3in display but retains the same 1.4GHz single-core Qualcomm processor and 512MB memory internally as its predecessor.
Can a bigger screen save Nokia's Lumia series?
Despite some interesting design choices - the body is constructed of polycarbonate plastic, at a time when many high-end smartphones use metal or glass - the gadget was popular enough to walk away with the award for Best Phone, so perhaps Nokia's misfortunes could be over?
Have your say
With an event as big as CES, we're bound to have missed a few things. We haven't even discussed the Asus ROG Xonar Pheobus soundcard, or Gigabyte's various motherboard announcements. So, if you think there's something from the show that deserves more attention, have your say over in the forums.
