CES 2011 Wrap-Up: Stuff We Almost Missed

Toshiba Does Sandy Bridge Gaming

Sandy Bridge notebooks were a big hit at CES. Of course we only took interest in those that could play real 3D games. Perhaps the biggest surprise was a giant 18.4” display, Core i7-2630QM-based model from Toshiba with a GeForce GTX 460M. The new processor features a 2.9 GHz max frequency, and sources at Nvidia informed us that the GeForce GTX 400M-series graphics processors will continue to be its top parts.

Toshiba also showed us a “glasses-free” 3D display system, but this early-stage technology won’t be ready for the public until at least late Q4 of this year.

Yo Tom, tell the advertisers to keep off your post. It's crimping your style!

Anyways. See some good products. Now that we have seen 2011 tech...On to 2012! :D

Format rules must be different for picture stories, changed display format to 450 pixels to eliminate over-run of right margin :)

Awww... most of those laptops have the awful glare type and so regressive 16:9 screens. I was sad when computer displays changed from 4:3 to 16:10, but now with 16:9 it is even worse.
And who wants shiny plastics anyway ? You cannot even touch your computer without leaving very visible fingerprints everywhere.
The worst part is manufacturers sell these computers because there are people who buy them...

DARN TOM's. Why i have to click two times and open two tabs and depart from the current page in order to view your pictures?!
It's always been the same story, and over the years you have never fixed this annoying management of your images. Every single time there is a gallery-article, as for this one, i rage at max.

Open all with scroll-well click. Then just read each one without waiting for load.

I can only mess with the photo settings, anything beyond that is outside the Content Management System of which I work inside.

They were purchased and revived around 4 years ago.

That's my fault: A bunch of the "really great" stuff went to news instead of picture stories because I wasn't able to organize it in a timely manner.

I've been waiting for a solution like the Zalman hard disk enclosure. I can finally ditch all these stupid optical disks and use the iso's I get in the first place.

The optical drive emulator is about the coolest thing you almost missed. I want one.

I don't understand all the animosity towards the article content (I agree with the picture business).

You don't have to post a comment, or look at it.

I like the giant 18.4 display on the new Toshiba laptop. Can't find laptops with big displays at the local stores in my town.
