CES 2008: Matt’s Impressions
Well my thoughts are going to be very similar to those already stated, but here it goes:
The Good:
-
This show is HUGE yet again – maybe bigger!
-
Tablet PC Meet Up was a lot of fun and great to see everybody – You did hear about the 3 computers given away right??
-
Getting some talk time with JK and Kevin was a bonus
-
Just getting to be in Vegas again :)
-
The BlogHaus was a fun place – Getting to chat with a bunch of other bloggers and listen to their stories was an entertaining time
-
Getting to see some MID’s up close – they will be fun to watch
-
Seeing my dream machine (though without dedicated graphics) in the M700 – because of the POWER it has!
-
Shooting the Mobile Demand Video (#1 if I can rank one of them)
-
The Surface demo was so cool – and I almost got a snowboard out of the deal….
-
The 150" TV was very big!!!
The Bad:
-
The show is HUGE (yes same thing on the bad list too)
-
Getting he Flu on the way home – 4 days in bed… yuck
-
No Tablet PC release with a dedicated graphics card
-
Sleeping on a roll out cot – actually that wasn’t the worst part, that was Warner’s snoring…
-
Where are the new Tablet PC’s???
-
Companies need to let people ‘find’ the new stuff, not announce it 2 days/weeks prior – it would be more fun that way
-
Dell and their ‘not a consumer device’ – there were still a lot of people from businesses there at the ‘consumer’ show…..
That’s what I can think of off the top of my head – a head that’s been frying for a few days at 104 degrees… There could be more later :)
