It's CES!

[Pilkingtube]

So, another year gone and another CES to face with a slightly hung-over gaze and guilty bloated feeling. However, the Consumer Electronics Show is the time to geek out over latest gaming, tech and random coolness, so I throw down the gauntlet to all you escapists, what is the coolest tech stuff you've seen in the last few days?

Personally, AMD fusion chips [http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/04/amd-announces-first-fusion-chips-10-hour-battery-life-with-dir/], Pico projectors [http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/05/texas-instruments-announces-dlp-pico-hd-chipset-slew-of-pico-pr/], (720p, 100 inch screen, projectors smaller than your thumbnail and finally a slew of tablets that I might actually buy to feed my WoW addiction!

Forgive me but what does the battery life of a computer chip mean, im not very computer fluent.

Ah I'm waiting for the 'Llano' series AMD chips to come out, probably around the end of the year, but if these new chips are anything to go by they'll be worth the wait.

Your general power consumption using that chip on a system. So for that case, it is expected to last over 10 hours of normal usage. (Usually it's an hour or two less though). Think of it as windows/android based systems lasting as long as an iPad on battery .

Ok so does the computer chip run for close to ten hours before it stops functioning forever or will it charge when not in use?

Think of it as, whatever laptop, netbook or tablet they put the chip into, it will run for 10 hours before requiring recharging. Your processor is the thing that eats most of the power in your laptop/netbook/tablet

Ok so the only time I would need to worry about the Graphic Chip is when its installed onto a laptop.

Sorry about this, I was thinking about buying a computer worthy of gaming and I didn't know about it.

Pretty much yeah, but the really good gaming graphics cards require special power cables in desktops, but that's a discussion best saved for somebody who is an expert with them xD
