Acer

What would a tech expo be without Acer’s involvement? Yep, the PC maker launched new Swift and Aspire laptops a few days before CES.

Both of these laptop families pack Intel Core Ultra chips with AI acceleration. And yes, both of these laptop families now pack a Windows Copilot button on the keyboard, because that’s a thing now.

These weren’t the only new Acer laptops this week, as the company revealed new Nitro and Predator gaming notebooks too.

Amazon

The retail colossus had a few notable tidbits to share at CES, with perhaps the biggest story being its adoption of Matter Casting. This is an open alternative to Google’s Chromecast and Apple’s AirPlay casting protocols. The feature is now available for the Echo Show 15.

Amazon says Matter Casting will also be available on some Fire TV devices in the coming months, with the firm confirming an initial list of supported devices to Android Authority.

ASUS

The Taiwanese tech brand had a couple of noteworthy announcements at CES 2024, starting with the ROG Phone 8. This represents a major departure for the brand, as the ROG Phone brings mainstream flagship features as well. This includes an IP68 rating, a slimmer design, wireless charging, and a telephoto camera.

ASUS also launched the Zenbook Duo in Las Vegas, packing a dual-screen design (two 3K OLED panels) with a detachable keyboard and trackpad. Just be prepared to pay for the privilege of dual displays.

Garmin

Fitness stalwart Garmin announced two new products this week, and the HRM-Fit (seen above) might be one of the most innovative gadgets we’ve seen in a while. This is a heart-rate monitor and fitness tracker that clips onto your sports bra, bringing an impressive one-year battery life too. The company also introduced the Lily 2 smartwatch, designed for people with slim wrists.

Google

Yes, Google also had a significant presence at CES, and it had no shortage of announcements. For one, it revealed that Nearby Share is now Quick Share thanks to a partnership with Samsung.

Google also revealed a slew of additions to the Chromecast ecosystem. This includes Fast Pair support coming to the Chromecast with Google TV, the ability to cast TikTok videos to your Cast-compatible device, and the ability for Pixel users to cast to a nearby Pixel Tablet.

Finally, the search giant also had automotive-related news to share. This included the Chrome browser coming to some cars, EVs with Android Auto getting more battery/charging features in Maps, and the ability to share your trip from your phone to your car with Google built-in.

Lenovo

PC stalwart Lenovo peeled the curtain back on a number of new devices, but two in particular caught our eye. The first is the ThinkBook 13x Gen 4 SPE concept, which is a color-changing laptop thanks to its e-ink cover.

The second buzzworthy device is the ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid, which is an Android tablet that turns into an x86 Windows PC when docked to the included laptop station. Interestingly, the tablet portion contains a Snapdragon chip and its own dedicated RAM and storage. Meanwhile, the laptop station has its own Intel chip and dedicated RAM/storage too. Really cool stuff.

LG

LG is a fixture at CES, and the 2024 running was no different. The company’s first announcement actually took place a few days before the expo opened its doors, as it announced a 4K OLED monitor with a 480Hz refresh rate.

The Korean brand also announced a wireless transparent OLED TV dubbed the LG Signature OLED T. Expect a 77-inch screen size and a steep price tag, although the company hasn’t disclosed the latter just yet.

Looking for a more conventional TV experience? Then LG’s new 2024 OLED TVs were revealed as well. These TVs deliver five years of software updates, AI upscaling, AI-based AV adjustments, and 4K/144Hz support.

NVIDIA

NVIDIA used CES 2024 to announce its GeForce RTX 40 Super series of graphics cards. These are the RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 TI Super, and RTX 4070 Super. The cards start at $599 all the way to $999 for the top-end RTX 4080.

Samsung

Samsung generally keeps its most important mobile announcements for its own event rather than sharing the spotlight at the likes of CES. In saying so, the company still had a few reveals in Las Vegas.

Perhaps the most eye-catching Samsung product at CES 2024 was the Music Frame (seen above). This is a speaker that looks just like a framed work of art — classy. There’s no word on pricing yet, though.

The Korean brand also announced a new, transparent microLED display. This appears to be a concept, with no pricing or commercial details disclosed. As for displays you can buy, Samsung also announced a new 2024 TV lineup, including 4K and 8K QLED TVs and OLED TVs.

TCL

Chinese brand TCL is a major player in the audiovisual and mobile spaces, and it indeed launched products in these categories in Las Vegas.

For starters, the company announced a ton of phones in the TCL 50 series. Five of these phones are coming to the US, including new NXTPAPER phones with their matte displays. The company also announced two new NXTPAPER tablets.

TCL also announced both budget and premium offerings in its soundbar and TV portfolios.

MSI

Apart from refreshing its gaming notebooks, MSI made waves at CES 2024 with its new Steam Deck rival called the MSI Claw A1M. It’s the company’s first-ever handheld gaming PC and the first of its kind to be powered by an Intel Meteor Lake chip. We had a chance to use the handheld gaming device on the show floor. You can read about our hour-long experience with the MSI Claw here.

Withings

Healthcare company Withings also had some cool tech to show off at CES 2024. We saw the Withings BeamO — a three-in-one at-home health monitor that can measure body temperature and blood oxygen, take an ECG, and act as a digital stethoscope.

Hisense

The highlight of Hisense’s CES 2024 announcements was a massive 110-inch ULED TV with some over-the-top specifications for their local dimming zones and brightness. To be exact, the TV gets over 40,000 local dimming zones and has a claimed brightness of 10,000 nits!
