CES 2012

Cars of CES Every year we see an amazing amount of cars being shown off at CES. Cars range from stock cars from the different manufactures all the way to one off full carbon fiber builds. This year was no different. Here are a few of the cars that we saw while wondering around the LVCC. 
Mushkin @ CES 2012   In between my meeting with Trendnet and Intel I took the tram from the Mirage over to TI to visit the guys from Mushkin. They invited me up to show off what they have planning for 2012. Little did I know how exciting they were! This is where I ended up finding the product I am most excited for from CES this year. 
CyberPower @ CES 2012   Alex and I made a quick visit to the Cyberpower suite in between our other meetings. Eddie from Cyberpower showed us around and we saw a few really interesting things that they have to offer this year.
Asus @ CES 2012   I found the time to stop and check out the Asus suite at Trump Tower while running around Las Vegas. JJ from Asus was kind enough to take me around even though I’m fairly sure I interrupted his lunch time. He showed off their current lineup and some of the products we can look forward to in 2012.
Kingston @ CES 2012   It was only a few months ago that we visited Kingston so I wasn’t expecting to see very much new stuff from our visit to their suite this year. Surprisingly I was very wrong; they had a few nice displays and a few cool interesting products from different parts of their product lineup to show off.
Sapphire @CES 2012   We made it all the way out to the end of the strip at the MGM to visit our friends at Sapphire this year. Other than the obvious things like the HD 7970 that we recently covered and the HD 7950 that we couldn’t photograph we did get a look at a few upcoming products from Sapphire to be excited about in 2012.
Razer @ CES 2012   Our Razer visit this year was fairly focused. I had planned on having lunch with RazerGuy like we did last year but a problem in scheduling messed this up. So when we got in we took a tour of the booth but all I really wanted to do was get my hands on the Fiona tablet that everyone was talking about. Look all the way to the bottom for the video ;)
EVGA @CES 2012   This year was our first visit with EVGA at CES so I wasn't sure what to expect when heading into the Wynn. But being such a community oriented company I figured they had to be cool people and we all know their product line is always interesting.
Trendnet @ CES 2012   It wouldn’t be CES without dropping in to see what Trendnet has going on. Their support for our events has been amazing and their products rock solid. But the networking world is always moving. A quick run-through of their suite showed that.
Zotac @ CES 2012   Even though my schedule was packed full of meetings I did find the time to swing by both the Zotac suite and their booth on the showfloor. Between the two I had a chance to get a few sneak peeks at upcoming products and we also saw a few cool case mods that Zotac was showing off.
NZXT @ CES 2012 NZXT has a very promising year ahead of them with a few new products coming out, some that I will note here. I cannot talk about all of them due to NDA but they will be worth the wait I can assure you.
A day in the life of a news editor/reviewer during CES 2012 CES is one of the biggest electronic's shows held here in the states and also is a big show internationally. I would like to walk you through a day of covering something like this so that you the reader can see what hard work everyone goes through to set up something like this. CES was held this year from January 10th-13th, 2012 and registration for this is done about 6 months out before getting to the footwork of covering the floor.

Kingston @ CES 2012

 

titleIt was only a few months ago that we visited Kingston so I wasn’t expecting to see very much new stuff from our visit to their suite this year. Surprisingly I was very wrong; they had a few nice displays and a few cool interesting products from different parts of their product lineup to show off.

The first display they were showing off was a Photoshop benchmark they put together to show off the speed of their 2400MHz DDR3 Quad channel kit. We have the same kit here at the office for testing and it’s an impressive kit. The Macro photography they were using was interesting and slightly gross all at the same time, just how I like it!

Next they gave me a peak at a upcoming heatspreader design for their Hyper X lineup and a look at a limited edition kit that will come in a nice red color. I couldn’t help but make a joke about how that heatspreader in red looks a lot like past Crucial kits, but ether way it’s still very cool!

The next demo was packed with 64 gigs of ram. To put it all to use they were using Adobe After Effects and loading a 1080p video file preview over and over. A close look at the task manager shows a whopping 58.3 Gigs of actual memory usage!

This Danger Den case was packed with all of the different versions of Kingston’s SSD lineup including their Hyper X SSD and even the small MSATA model in the top left corner.

Their USB flash drive lineup now has a sweet Hyper X drive. With the Hyper X name you have to expect the best performance, this drive is 64 gigs and running over USB 3.0!

I was equally amazed by the Asus Zenbook along with their new DataTraveler SE9 in all stainless steel. Talk about a match made in heaven. The USB drive still runs on the USB 2.0 interface but makes up for its lack of speed in convenience. This thumb drive can go right on your key ring and stay with you wherever you go.

They had another thumb drive that is no larger than one of the wireless dongles for a small laptop mouse. The side is small enough that you shouldn’t have to even unplug it from your laptop. If you do you risk losing it!
