Best of CES 2012 Awards Highlights
This year there were some fantastic products on show at CNET’s Consumer Electronic Show (CES 2012).
After watching their “Best of CES video” I decided to do a quick rundown of the award winners so I could refer to this list at some point down the line. The products that stood out for me were:
- Asus Memo 370T – priced only at $250 but jam packed full of features & running on the new Icecream Sandwich Android OS
- MakerBot Replicator – 3D Printer for the home. Still at a fairly hefty price tag for the average Joe (over $1000) but very cool. I’ve ordered my own 3D printer for $500 & should arrive in Feb – more on that later!
- Razer Project Fiona – A gaming tablet with 2 handle bars on each side (image the table being a stearing wheel for a plane).. very cool
I’ve included each category below with a link & video so you can get a nice overview of each and see for yourself why these products were selected.
