CES, also known as the International Consumer Electronics Show, is every year in January in Las Vegas. The show has been going on for over 40 years and CES 2012 was January 10th through the 13th.
Attendance this year was the largest ever at just over 153,000 attendees.
“The 2012 International CES had more exhibitors (3100) hawking their wares across more space (1.9 million square feet) and attracted more people (153,000 attendees) than any other CES in the 44-year history of the event, the Consumer Electronics Association revealed in a statement released Friday.”
Featuring the latest and upcoming gadgets, it’s been a big attraction for technology enthusiasts and geeks all over the World. People travel from all different parts of the globe, as do companies looking to show off and demo their new products or services.
There were several big hits this year at CES. LG and Samsung’s razor thin and incredibly vibrant OLED televisions really stunned the crowd and are the next generation of TV’s for our homes. With a very thin and light profile, yet energy efficient and amazing colors, they’re quite exciting.
With thinner and lighter laptops on many consumers minds, ultrabooks were out and about. The HP Envy 14 Spectre was one that stood out that we’ve mentioned previously. All in all, there’s too many new gadgets to list and go over.
However, one thing that really did grab people’s attention was the quad core Asus Memo 370T tablet for an incredible $250 that will be available in the second quarter of this year. The tablet features some pretty impressive specs for such a small price.
