Much of the interesting drama at CES happens off the floor by firms that aren't directly participating in the show. That was true again this year when Lenovo and Nvidia stood out from their peers by aggressively moving in a variety of directions and showcasing a depth of products that were largely u...

At CES 2023, HP introduced a hybrid line of computers and workplace accessories to meet the growing needs of freelancers and remote workers.

OPINION

Standout Tech Products of 2022

Every year I look back at my Product of the Week choices and pick what I think made the most significant impact on my life as the Product of the Year. There were a lot of contenders this year, which I will cover, but I want to lead with why I'm calling out BlackBerry.

For those companies that genuinely innovate, CES could be the perfect show to set the bar for the rest of the market and take an undisputed leadership position for 2023.

ANALYSIS

Is a Mac Your Next Windows PC?

The ability to run Windows on a Mac is one of the most unheralded stories in the PC space and deserves more attention. This convenience attribute falls into the category of "How did I live without this capability?"

Consider the Poly Sync 20 Speakerphone if you're looking for a solution for mobile devices with inferior sound that works equally well as a better sound system for portable devices that usually are desk-bound.

AMD, Nvidia, and Intel are in this highly competitive space, and all three have come to market lately with distinctive strategies, each with unique benefits, risks, and opportunities.

Qualcomm last week announced its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. The significant improvement is enhanced AI that will operate behind the scenes to improve the user experience significantly on phones.

MediaTek's brand is often associated with affordable, budgeted, Android phones. However, the company has made incremental inroads into the more premium, high-performance models. The launch of the MediaTek Dimensity 9200 chip is a potent step in that direction.

What AMD announced was truly striking and impressive in several ways. It's also a testament to how AMD's return to silicon glory, primarily due to the stewardship of CEO Lisa Su, has turned the company into an execution juggernaut since her arrival in October 2014, only eight years ago.

Arm is in trouble primarily because it depended on Nvidia acquiring it to fund its future growth and success. Now it's hungry for revenue. I think we are beginning to see the end of Arm, and it will only have itself to blame.
