was ces boring to you this year

[JCBiggs]

outside of a few interesting products... i didnt get a kick out of anything at CES.  in fact, I think the best, most helpful thing there is the fiber cable on samsumgs quantum dot... i mean qled TV... i also found the new type of nano dot they are using (metal based) to be quite interesting.... but other than that....

 

meh..

Ill be honest. The most exciting thing that happened at this years CES was when Razer's prototypes got stolen. Was pretty meh overall.

[Morgan MLGman]

1. You can do polls on the forum instead of on external websites

2. It wasn't cause of AMD shedding some light on Zen and Vega.

[JCBiggs]

razor stolen prototypes = publicity stunt.... who walks off off a triple screen laptop and doesnt get notices. 

[Kinda Bottlenecked]

Yea it was fun. Bunch of peeps fucked themselves over being for too excited about Nvidia/AMD

[Oshino Shinobu]

Nah, I love RGB.

[Thony]

EDIT: After seeing this I think my faith in the event is restored. This is what I want VR to be
 

 

[DocSwag]

I personally found the vega stuff to be interesting.

 

I don't think it was as interesting as past years, but it wasn't "boring."

[ShaunOfNintendo]

I am just very happy that this exists since I was planning in attempting my first hard-line liquid cooled system soon lol

idk... i just didnt feel like there was any exciting "game changing"  products this year... 

 

last year LG released that G6 and it  instantly became the reference replacement for the LONG time dominator the pioneer Kuro... thats game changing...

 

this year we got a laptop that no one is going to buy, and another one with two extra monitors hung onto the sides of it,   a tv with the brain box moved outside, and a new name for an existing technology... i mean.. really?   wtf? lol  

 

a new 400 watt solar cell on the show floor would of out-shined everything at ces this year.. at least from a "positive for technology" standpoint. thats sad. 

[spellmanuk]

totally agree noramllt CES is the place for crazy prototypes that we never see again or finally come out like5 years later but this year everything seemed like it was a final product and just a platform to launch the product meh 

[it_dont_work]

Most was mildly interesting, don't really care about kaby lake or ryzen (at least until it's a product people can actually buy) or rgb everything. Evga's watercooling stuff I'd like to see some more of since I like the idea of it all. Nvidia's piece about driverless cars in their presentation was pretty interesting as well, I was more interested in the 'consumer electronics' part of CES than the pc tech and what most of the tech tubers were covering.

 

I mean it was still kind of interesting, maybe it's because I'm not looking at building a new system anytime soon.

[JCBiggs]

tied 8/8. guess i  wasnt alone. lol

[Tieox]

Dude, a laptop with 3 screens! RGB ram, an 8K display!! 

 

It could only get better if they had a computer case which used a separate mains connection to power an electric fold out grill! 

[ProjectBox153]

It may not have been the most interesting CES ever, but I sure did like the look of the Lenovo AIO thing Linus looked at. 

[infigo]

For the first time I actually have concepts that follow my vision  and products I may buy so CES for me was the most interesting yet. But there was som very nice things the prior two years that was groundbreaking and something like that was lacking this year.

[Dash Lambda]

For me, is wasn't so much boring as it was mildly disappointing.

The two things I was really hoping to see at CES were Zen and the 7th gen ThinkPads. AMD said pretty much nothing new and Lenovo only showed the ThinkPad that I care the least about.

 

There was cool stuff, like that Acer ultrawide laptop and the glass-diaphragm TV/speaker, and I might even consider that 240Hz monitor at $500 (though I'm leaning more towards ultrawide), but overall it was either extreme stuff I'd never buy or reasonable products I have no special interest in.

[Honray]

from the stand of view. I think the show was pretty lit.. there was one, boot I'd wanted Linus to check out. ''LN2 Overclocking'' (thermal grizzly)
the cooling tech they had was quiet interesting. felt like not much was covered by jayztwocents.
Linus had the most coverage at ces 2017

[kaiju_wars]

The stuff about Zen/Ryzen/Vega was interesting. 
Also how Acer is hitting the budget gaming laptop market with that new Aspire.  They'll have to compete against the new Inspiron which has a 1050 also, though.

[Techicolors]

The stuff on Ryzen was pretty good. 

 

But the Asus PG27UQ is the highlight for me. 

[Honray]

after the uprising. still cant make out what the connection has with the product.. lol I thought it was pretty lame. .

[Automobili3XF]

Not at all!

Panasonic has showed some great stuff, even some new Technics gear showed up.

[Scruffy90]

I feel like CES has been boring for some time now. A bunch of the cooler stuff shown off never finds its way into affordable consumer products it seems like. It also seems like tech on all fronts have gotten stagnent and everyone is relying on their marketing team to try to spice things up

[pian0man33]

I feel that CES this year was pretty cool. Mostly due to the announcement of the Predator and the concept of Razer's Project Valerie, (Even though it did get stolen,) Although I feel that there were more interesting "Concepts" rather than actual production models such as I said before, Project Valerie, The unnamed passively cooled cube thing, and the test models of Ryzen and Vega. Although I will say that some of the fake and simulated Car stuff from BMW (or whatever car manufacturer it was) was a complete waste of time and an Excuse for BMW to make some flashy "Future Car" to hype up their brand, But that's just me.

[mad dudy]

maybe you just have to high of an expectation going in? i only thing i wanted to see was 1080ti or amd's cpu and gpu.
