Welcome to Mobile PC World

Tech lovers can never get enough of gadgets or the latest in technology. So, even if you have splurged on tablet PCs, gaming consoles, wireless accessories, new operating system (OS) for the PC and smartphones last year, 2012 is here to lure you with gadgets that will blow your mind all over again. Some devices may be upgrades of their predecessors, but they still promise better performance and stunning results which can be compared with those that have gone before them.

Ultrabooks, not tablet computers, will be the talk of the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show this week, according to industry analysts. Ultrabook pricing could curb early enthusiasm.

As manufacturers rush to capitalise on the attention given to the Apple iPad, there seems to be new tablet computers coming out every now and then.

Vizio, the company best known for selling budget flat-panel TVs, is going retro. It’s unveiling a line of low-cost, but high performance personal computers at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Attending the annual International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas is like walking along a loud, crowded boardwalk on a hot summer day. There may not be much sun or sand, but amongst the thousands of tech peddlers who flock there each January, you’ll find no shortage of hype, hoopla and expensive gimmicks. What keeps visitors coming back, however, is the chance to hear about new trends and see new technologies before they’re available to the general public—a glimpse at the gadgets that are most likely to be the hottest gifts by year’s end.
