| January 4, 2023. It's a new year and we're back to our regularly scheduled Tech Today. Got any New Year's resolutions you're determined to commit to this year? Personally, we just want to fit more jokes into this space. | | | ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds | | | Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): | | 213 articles, 9 podcasts, 8 press releases, 271 tweets, and 9 YouTube videos | | | 1. Samsung Wows With Foldable Displays That Extend to New Lengths | | Samsung is using CES 2023 to show off several innovative display prototypes. From the Flex Hybrid folding tablet to the Flex Slidable Duet displays and a range of smart TVs with updated QD-OLED tech, there's a lot to be impressed with. Hopefully these all become products we can actually use one day. | | 2. Dell's New Monitors Aim to Improve Productivity and Collaboration | | Dell has three new monitors on the way, with the intention of making work and collaboration easier. Want a 6K screen? Dell has that. A curved display? Yep, you can get that, too. Heck, they can even do a four-way split screen so you can see multiple PC inputs all at once. Sounds like information overload to us. | | 3. Acer's New Predator Gaming Laptops Are Thin, Light, and Powerful | | In more CES news, Acer has new gaming laptops on the way! The Predator Helios 16 and 18 are high-end offerings with RTX 40 GPUs, while the Nitro 16 and 17 have similar internal specs, but sport a slimmer and lighter form factor. They're expensive, coming in at over $1k, but you have some time to save up. | | | PC gaming isn't the most popular | | | Data: The Entertainment Software Association | | | People play games on all kinds of devices, and it's no surprise that phones and tablets are a lot of people's preferred hardware to play games. Apologies to PC players, though. You may have the most powerful gaming specs around, but you still can't beat the convenience of a smartphone or console. | | | 🔥 Today's Hot Deal | | Your laptop excels in portability, but its screen leaves much to be desired? Pick up the TeamGee Portable Monitor and add two 12-inch monitors to your setup. It's down to $319.90 on Amazon and should give you all the workspace you'll ever need. | | | | | "Isn't a metaverse party just a chat room?" —Evan Killham, Editor | | | 💎 You Know You Want It | | Image: WaterField Designs | | A new year means new stuff to haul around, right? Fortunately, WaterField Designs has you covered with the Miles Laptop Backpack. Need to move two laptops? Maybe a laptop, a tablet, and a bunch of cables? This backpack can handle all that and more without harming your shoulders. | | | Sure, we can meet with our doctors via video chat, but what if they were a hologram projected into our homes? The idea isn't too far off, as NASA just accomplished this last year when it "holoported" a doctor to the ISS. Whoa. | | |
