Every year, the biggest electronics show that takes place in January, in the USA and is written up by yours truly, every year.
But this year – I thought, there’s alot of great reviews – and there’s alot of subjects – such as best tech cars, best tech wearable, etc… so I’d leave it for this year.
Until… someone actually asked me…’Bal, when are you writing your review for CES 2020?’ – wow! someone reads my CES updates! lol – ok, here it is… it’s short, it’s simple… with my top takeaways!
First up…. Cars!
Mercedes stole the show away with their Avatar themed car
The German automaker’s Avatar-inspired concept car, the Vision AVTR, is one of the biggest things at CES.
Outlandish design? Check.
Futuristic tech that doesn’t actually work right now? Check.
Striking a partnership with a popular entertainment company in order to use its intellectual property to help prop up the messaging behind a concept car? Check and check.
Check the below video….
Right – next up, the reverse microwave!
That’s right – it does the opposite to a microwave… it cools! and quickly!
The start-up involved hopes to launch Juno later this year to cool cans and bottles of drink at point of use, meaning they do not need to be stored in refrigerators in advance.
I personally think this will be awesome – I’ve personally seen and tested something similar in the coke labs…. glad this is becoming more mainstream!
Now… the last one – I’m going for the top 3… is around gaming, and no surprise… it’s the PS5
I bet it must have taken ages to design the logo…
Actually – it wasn’t even the console that was shared… it was just the logo! That’s right folks – Sony know they’re at the top of the game (excuse the pun), that they just walked out, announced the logo and dropped the mic.
To be fair – it’s a warning signal to everyone else – watch out… watch out what’s coming… it’s going to be big…. bigger than before.
My Top 3 Moments from CES 2020…. some of the other highlights?
Well… Uber and Hyundai are going to be offering flying taxi rides by 2023.
Nuraloops could be the best headphones. Ever.
A robot that brings you toilet paper when you’ve run out. (We’ve all been there!)
And finally… Samsung is really going to release robotic kitchen arms – that’ll do the cooking for you!
