Well that about does it for CES. We managed to escape Las Vegas with our lives, most of our belongings, and almost none of our dignity intact. But for all our bellyaching, CES is fun. We saw some amazing things out in the desert this year. Here’s a quick rundown of the best:
The Best New Big-Arse TV
Go to a window right now. Look out onto the real world. Now imagine everything in the real world looking better. That’s how incredible the Samsung Super OLED is. With its incredibly vivid colours and deep, dark, bottom-of-the-Marianas-Trench level blacks, the Samsung Super OLED blew us away. More »
The Best New Tablet

The Best New Ultrabook
Engineers at Dell must be on a Fast and Furious kick too! They’ve clearly decided to live life a quarter-mile at a time, and swaddled their XPS 13 with carbon fibre. More »
The Best New Vaporware
It’s the product that will never be. Like that sixth season of The Wire, we hope that it happens, but we know deep in our hearts that it won’t. Intel’s Nikiski Ultrabookand its see-through-trackpad-display falls into that category. More »
