In our final post covering CES 2019, we are going to go over our favorite products that we saw at the show. We will Laos explain why we picked them in the order we did. We hope you have enjoyed our CES coverage and you may enjoy an item from our merch store:
4. Elgato
We would like to start by pointing out Corsairs daughter company, Elgato and their Thunderbolt 3 Pro Dock. You can view our post covering the device by going here, but to recap, the dock has two USB-C, two USB-A, Gigabit Ethernet and more. We recommend this if you have a new MacBook Air or MacBook Pro.
3. Sony
At CES this year, Sony unveiled 8k LCD and 4k OLED TVs. These will support AirPlay 2 and HomeKit Protocols. This is great, as could possibly mirror your iDevice to these TVs without having to have an Apple TV. It also means that you can use AirPlay 2 compatible speakers with the TV sets. Even though these sets have really high resolutions, they only place third on our list, because we do not see these as being completely necessary or justified for the price that they may sell at, but we think they are really cool and wanted to share them with you.
A Message From Our Sponsor:
2. Alienware
Our second favorite product at CES was Alienware's Area 51m laptop. This is due to the upgradability of the device. Unlike Apple, this device can have many of its competence upgraded by the end-user. We would like to see this more in Apple products. It has an upgradable CPU, RAM, m.2s, and Hard Drive.
1. AMD
Our favorite product at CES was AMD's. AMD unveiled their new Navi GPU know as AMD Radeon VII. This GPU is based upon the 7nm manufacturing process. They also unveiled their Ryzen 3 Desktop Processors. We believe that these processors will have better performance over Intel's consumers processors in workloads like Blender. Because Apple is trying to target the pro-sumer market, we would like to see Apple include these processors into one of their products. We would also like to see their Navi GPU in one as well.
AMD is also including PCIe 4.0 in their processors. This will allow for greater data transfer speed through PCIe lanes and devices. Apple could use this for their SSDs and GPUs, delivering greater speed possibilities for internal devices. While AMD devices do not support Thunderbolt, it could work using advanced engineering and coding as shown on PCGamer.
We put AMD in first place because of their release of new CPUs and GPUs. We believe that a competitor to NVIDIA and Intel in the GPU and CPU markets, respectively is good for everyone. We believe that this puts pressure on NVIDIA to either lower their prices or provide better performance at the same price point and for Intel to improve their processors. By forcing Intel and NVIDIA to improve on their designs and performance, the price may change (may go down) and create a better product for the consumer at a better price.
