Ultrabooks: Too eexpensive and I don't see why laptops needs to be slim as that. And terrible battery life. Qooq (cooking tablet): Saw one today at the supermarket. Terribly expensive (300-400 €) and needs an expensive subscription (~100 €/year) to really use it. Razeer Mouse: Gaming mouses are overpriced, especially Razer.
Qooq: same tech, nothing new, Razer mouse: overpriced and crap build quality, Windows Phone 7: old news
HAHAHA The Intel demo was a complete fucking fail, they were "demoing" this racing game and then right before they started, the VLC box popped up.
*shrugs* I expect most demos are similar. You don't want to leave any possibility that your presentation runs into any kind of error, so if you can run a convincing video instead you'd do it whether your hardware can actually reproduce it or not.
When does this actually start though? Or will they just put up information by text and that's it
too many tablets and too much 3D and most of the companies didn't release something really interesting so not a very interesting CES this year. My thoughts in Razer Project Fiona is it depends on the final release because they can do a lot to make it more interesting but the price still has to be below 1000$ and Project Fiona is not revolutionizing pc gaming but just giving you a new way on the go but srsly you still need to carry around a keyboard and a mouse to be able to play properly.

Why can't people demonstrate technology as it is? Then you can prove that it actually works. That's like when games are shown on tv as rendered films. It's ridiculous

Because there's many issues that need to be dealt with before shipping the product.

Though it defeats the purpose if you stuff up making it convincing.
