The Alienware X14 is one of the most popular laptops to come out of CES this year, which is kind of funny: It's a gaming laptop that sacrifices specs for portability, but it's not necessarily a bad choice, as our review editor highlights. IT American Jackie Thomas. :
“The Alienware X14 is the most portable gaming laptop the luxury brand has ever released. From what it sounds like, you're not going to lose much in performance, but the limited spec options mean you really need to focus on the portability aspect. "
It's limited to an RTX XNUMX, which tells you where you stand in the phantom of gaming, but like the heyday of mobile gaming, this is a planet where the most popular and powerful consoles don't always and in all circumstances are the ones that most interest people. .. and that also looks very attractive.

It happened late yesterday, so it's clearly worth going over it again: CES handhelds gather here.
To be fair, these are essentially just 2 reimagined Fossil Gen XNUMX smartwatches, some new Garmin nuggets, and smart rings.
To be fair, that doesn't give the full picture: not being at the event in person, we weren't able to flirt with the fitness pavilion, for example, and spot the great things that small brands bring to the table. There could be certain smart fitness bands or advanced face masks that won't hit the media for a few weeks, or CES could have just been some kind of dank firecracker.
Either way, the Movano smart ring strikes me as the most exciting: it gets some nice metrics and ways to make your data more accessible:
"The ring has an incredible list of capabilities, covering sleep monitoring, heart rate, heart rate variability, respiration levels, temperature, blood oxygen readings, number of steps, and calories burned, and the company claims that the device will have more features in the future." time, too.
"These features, pending regulatory approval, will include blood sugar and blood pressure monitoring, something smart rings have been unable to achieve thus far. The Movano device may well hit the spot in terms of cost and functionality. ".

It's been one of our most essential stories in the last 3 days: headphones that are so invisible they're not even there. CES in a nutshell.
This Noveto N1 soundbar will track your head in real time, using facial recognition to keep you locked on. So it will use beamforming, where it directs the sound, into little pockets of audio around your ears, meaning you can only hear the sound.
Is it useful or practical? Surely not, a pair of open-back headphones could surely do the same. But it's impressively excellent, and if it works, it could be the cornerstone of future offices, which means the instant ability to chat with colleagues with a "secret" job at the same time.

It's funny, the things that excite you as a child to thrive. Late at night, unlimited sugar intake, watching TV all day.
I still love doing all of these things, mind you, but what really turns me on these days is the jaded adult stuff like remote controls.
Not just any remote, in particular the recently announced Samsung SolarCell remote, and that was another of the more essential stories of Day Two.
Requiring no charging cradle, the remote control uses solar and RF energy harvesting to charge wirelessly, meaning even your lifesaving table lamp can be part of the process. Wild.

Oh man, can you get more CES than a smart canine collar? Smart technology: check it out. Pet stuff - check it out. Something like something else for dogs? To contrast. It was one of our most essential stories yesterday, and I'm here for it.
This is Invoxia's attempt to give your canid an Apple Watch-worthy beauty, with the ability to track both respiration and heart rate, using GP and accelerometers, such as AI (another CES trend - check it out) to let you monitor the health of your canid such as how to make sure it doesn't disappear.

(Image credit: Yukai Engineering)Well, it's time for the final push, as CES draws to a close. Unfortunately for this live blogger (and thank goodness for you, readers), there is much more analysis and information to come from the TechRadar team, who managed to track down every single truly excellent thing about the game stream despite their absence.
One of my favorite things so far, and surely of all time, is the Amagami Ham Ham robot bear, which will nibble on your finger like a pet, but without any and all bacteria.
Shut up, you're weird. Now, let's move on to certain highlights from the previous days:
