Doing the dishes by hand can be wasteful of water but if you don’t have a dishwasher in your home, you don’t really have much of a choice. Heatworks is looking to change that. After debuting its Tetra countertop dishwasher at last year’s CES, Heatworks is bringing the device back to Las Vegas for CES 2019. This time, the company will be demoing the device and will start taking pre-orders for it later this year.

Tetra worked in conjunction with Frog Design to create its internet-connected countertop dishwasher that is designed to give apartment dwellers the same convenience when it comes to washing dishes that homeowners get to enjoy. The device is compact, so you can’t fill it up with every pot and pan in your place, but it’s big enough to efficiently clean the dishes you need most without taking up an excessive amount of counter space. Plus, it’ll keep your sink free of dirty dishes, which almost immediately makes it worth owning.

The Tetra has a clear design that gives you a front-row seat to the cleaning process if you want it, but it also offers a unique look that makes cleaning your dishes seem fashionable. The stripped down design extends beyond just the aesthetics. Using the Tetra is made to be straightforward. All you have to do is fill the bottom part of the washer with water and detergent, load up the top with your dishes, and let it run.

You can control the whole process from a mobile app that gives you the ability to tweak water pressure, control cycles, and set a start time. Once the wash is done, just drain the device of dirty water and let your dishes dry. Tetra is designed to make as small of an environmental footprint as possible. The wash cycles are short and the electrical use is small so you never have to feel bad about doing your daily chores.

If you’re looking to get your hands on Heatworks’ Tetra countertop dishwasher, you can place your pre-order for the device sometime during the first quarter of 2019. It’ll set you back $299, a special pre-order price. Heatworks didn’t say when the product will ship or what it will retail for when it is widely available.

F(x)tec Pro 1, the phone with a full-size keyboard, is available for pre-order
F(x)-Tec-Pro-1

Lusting for a physical keyboard on a smartphone? You're not the only one. We've seen TCL's success in licensing the BlackBerry brand name to create phones with keyboards again. But those devices at the moment don't look anything like most smartphones -- there are no large screens with slim bezels, hole-punch cameras, or notches in the displays.

If you want a full-size physical keyboard on a phone with a spacious, modern-looking screen, one of your only options is the F(x)tec Pro 1 from London company F(x)tec. Here's everything you need to know about it.
The keyboard
Why a phone with a keyboard? Well, the founders of the company wanted to make one for themselves.

Nintendo switch lite new console mobile on the go undocked built in controllers

The Nintendo Switch Lite system isn't scheduled to release until September 20, but you can make sure you get the system you want on launch day by pre-ordering it in advance. Pre-orders are currently available at multiple retailers, but we don't know how long they'll be in stock.

On Amazon, you can currently pre-order the Nintendo Switch Lite in all four of its available styles -- gray, turquoise, yellow, and the Zacian and Zamazenta Pokémon edition. Aside from the color and visual design differences, the four consoles are otherwise identical and are all priced at $200.

The PS5 is available for pre-order from a Swedish retailer for over $1,000
Playstation 4

Very little is known about Sony's next-generation PlayStation system, which will presumably be called the PS5. We do know, however, that it will be capable of an impressive 8K resolution with ray tracing, and that power doesn't come cheaply. That being said, we sure are hoping the price on a recent product listing is just a placeholder.

The Swedish retailer MediaMarkt has posted a listing for the PlayStation 5, offering it up for pre-order. The description includes previously revealed details, such as ray tracing, SSD storage, and backwards compatibility. The retailer did not include a potential release date, but it did, however, offer a price: 9999 SEK, which translates to just under $1050. The online retailer also allows you to pre-order the console at the amount listed, but we strongly discourage ordering the PS5 through this site.
