Whatever the reason, this year's showing was a bit weak. Still, there were a few notable devices. Most of these tablets are predictable upgrades, but there are a couple nice… Read More

Arguably the biggest CES 2012 announcement from Lenovo is the 13.1-inch IdeaPad Yoga tablet-notebook hybrid PC, which reported on earlier. Part laptop, part tablet, part tablet stand, the Yoga has a patented “dual-hinge” that allows the 1600×900-resolution screen to rotate 360-degrees, making it a first-of-a-kind device. When the screen is opened 180 degrees or fewer, it works just like any other laptop. Past the 180-degree mark, however, and… Read More

As the hybrid name implies, the new X1 runs both… Read More

While the company's Ultrabooks and Android smart phones are attracting attention, it's the 55-inch HDTV running on Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) that has the shutterbugs clamoring for that money shot.  What's so sweet about this TV? Almost everything. At first glance, it is one of the most user-friendly TV interfaces we've… Read More
