Technology CES 2012

[ARon]

So much to see this year.

I really want to see how good LG's 55" OLED will be.

If Vizio's laptops have good specs I'd highly consider getting one. They look high quality from the photos floating around, it'll be good to have someone new come in and shake up a rather dormant laptop market.

I think what I'm most excited for are Windows 8 tablets, I'm not really sure if any will debut but talk is good enough. I think Toshiba or lenovo said they had one but I'm not sure. I think once win8 is on tablets then they will truly catch on and be used for way more.

So yeah, what are you looking forward to

Vizio laptops look really crappy, just like the company is.

I'm the most excited about new phones, ultrabooks and tvs

 

[ARon]

Crappy? Lol they're the best thing you can get for the price. I don't own any Vizio TV's but I know people who do and they're quality. I think the laptops look clean. People just give that label because they're cheap. Most reviews say they're up to par with top of the line sets so I know you probably know some weird little detail about them but real world reviews show them as good

 

[ARon]

Oh yeah, 4k TV's should be nice

No, they're one of the worst TV brands there are and they're very far from being quality. Their tvs often use TN panels. It's hard to tell what's the best "for their price" mainly because noone should buy a tv for that price
It's better to buy a PC display and use it as a tv for that price.

4k Tvs and the SIII

i'm not excited for anything windows, ever.

i'm not excited for anything windows, ever.

I won't lie, I think Windows 8 might suck if they release it with changes and features they announced not long ago and most people might as well stick with Windows 7, which is still awesomeness.
If they do their planned changes to the multitasking system permanently I might as well have to stick with Mac in the future (o gosh).

Now if it comes to Windows Phone I think it has a lot of limitations and forces the use of retarded Microsoft ecosystem that noone cares about. But technically it's a good system.

I find Microsoft's latest politics to be annoying. I dislike almost everything that they have been doing since Windows 7 and Xbox 360. I will not use Bing, sync with Microsoft's services, outlook, hotmail and bing maps simply because they suck compared to other solutions. I might stick with Office though.

 

[S O F I]

when you say limitations, what do you mean?

 

[masta247]

Like..

No system-wide file manager
No Bluetooth file transfers
No USB mass storage mode
Limited third-party apps availability
No Flash (nor Silverlight) support in the browser
Too dependent on Zune software for file management and syncing
No video calls
New ringtones available only through the Marketplace
Music player lacks equalizer presets
No multitasking
No copy/paste
No DivX/XviD video support (automatic transcoding provided by Zune software)
No sign of free Bing maps Navigation so far
No internet tethering support
No handwriting recognition support

 

[S O F I]

wait, bing maps navigation isn't free like google maps?

LOL.

 

[masta247]

To be honest I'm not sure. I stole that list from Gsmarena.
