CES roundup part 15

"45 pages of coverage has been completed. We have 5 pages of Booth Babes, videos and everything else you can expect to see. It was a great event for us, and we enjoyed every min of it."

“Patriot Memory signed on as a sponsor of ThinkComputers this past year and they have quite a selection of different products. At CES 2011 they showed us that they are revamping many of these product lines. They also showed us a new product line that we really did not expect from them. Read on to see what it is…"

If you love SSDs, OCZ Technology's suite at the Aria hotel in Las Vegas was the place to be during CES. On display were the company's IBIS drives, the Vertex 3 EX and Pro, the short Z-Drive R3, along with 80 Plus power supplies for both the OCZ and PC Power & Cooling brand, and yes, even some DDR3 modules could also be found.

At its hotel suite setup for CES, Thermaltake didn't have a lot of product to show off, but what it did is worthy of looking into. That includes the company's upcoming high-end CPU cooler, the "OCK", its feature-packed Armor A30 mini chassis, the "budget" Level 10 GT, its Max 5G external HDD enclosure and more.

With CES 2011 behind us, it's time to round up the products that "wowed" the Techgage staff enough to earn our "Best of" award. Included among this list is ASUS' Eee Slate, BlackBerry's PlayBook, Contour's GPS camera, Crucial's Smart Tracers, GIGABYTE's G1, Kingston's MobiSX, Motorola's ATRIX and more.

"We came, we saw, we dozed nonstop after stumbling back home in a sleep-deprived haze. And after emerging from our hibernation, we looked back at a blur of circuits, silicon and screens that hail the beginning of the 2011 tech blitz. With more than 2,700 companies in attendance and 80 launches of tablets alone, CES 2011 brought plenty of hum-drum tech debris, but a select few companies also managed to rise above the din and make themselves heard with extraordinary products worthy of another look. Here are the products and concepts that made headlines at CES 2011, and will define the year to come."

Before we visited iBUYPOWER’s suite, we were warned they had some really cool stuff to show. While we believed them, we weren’t totally prepared for what we were going to see. Three new systems, and one of those three packs such a powerful punch, you may want to be remain seated for the entire duration of this article. Here’s a glimpse at iBUYPOWER’s 2011 lineup."

On January 6th during CES 2011 in Las Vegas, we held our first annual TweakTown Media Party, at the Palms casino. Being our first event organized by myself from Taiwan, it was always going to be interesting to see how it would go, but I am pleased to report it went very well.

The party was sponsored by the lovely folks at Western Digital, Thermaltake, Mushkin and Sapphire. They were all happy with the way the event went and we will more than likely be doing the same thing again next year at CES 2012.
