The 6 best computing products we saw at CES 2020

Dell's flagship laptop gets even better at CES 2020 with an updated frame design featuring a larger screen and improved keyboard.

Not content with the processor bump made late in 2019 for its XPS 13 lineup, Dell has taken the XPS 13 laptop design and refined it even further, increasing the screen size within a similarly-sized frame and widening the keyboard. Starting at $999.99 and available now, the laptop comes with the latest Intel processors and other high-end hardware inside.

The most notable changes start with a 13.4-inch display that's larger, thanks to smaller bottom bezels and its ultra-thin bezels throughout. Then, we most appreciate the keyboard size expansion, as comfort is always king.

It may not be the flashiest laptop of the show, but the new Dell XPS 13 is likely to be yet another incredible flagship laptop across just about every field and use case. The welcome design tweaks alone are enough for it to be worthy of a call-out.

The first-ever laptop with 5G connectivity debuted at CES 2020, giving us a solid reason to be excited for a Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered Windows laptop at last.

Not only does Lenovo have the world's first laptop with a foldable display, it also has the first laptop with 5G cellular connectivity in 2020. Due out this spring for a $1,499.00 starting price, this will likely be the first ARM processor-based Windows laptop worth buying.

This is because not only will the laptop feature Lenovo's excellent keyboard craftsmanship, but it will contain Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8cx System on a Chip processor for Windows laptops. Of course, this processor features Qualcomm's 5G cellular modem, which has basically no competition in this particular space until Apple launches the modem it purchased from Intel.

Until then, ARM through Qualcomm is the way to get a 5G Windows laptop, and this gorgeous, 14-inch 2-in-1 device is a fine way to welcome in the new connectivity technology. Mobile internet that's 10 times faster than 4G is going to be a big deal this year, and we have to respect Lenovo being on the forefront.

The ultimate accessory for PC gamers with an endless budget, Acer will release its Predator Thronos Air gaming chair this March for $13,999.99 — and it's the coolest thing in PC gaming since, well, RGB lighting and gaming chairs.

This isn't a brand-new product to CES 2020, but it's the first time that it's being shown in the US ahead of a retail debut later this March for a cool $13,999.99. Nope, that's not a typo. This is a $14,000 PC gaming accessory, and it's called the Acer Predator Thronos Air.

Believe it or not, this chair is actually half as expensive as the original model. The device is a gaming chair rigged inside of a pod mounted with three 27-inch, curved monitors, which you, unfortunately, provide yourself in addition to the gaming PC powering the whole thing.

Clearly, this is another piece of tech that's fun to look at for most of us, but only within reach for the ultra-rich. Regardless, it's one of the downright coolest pieces of PC technology at the show this year.

Dell's gaming arm just brought PC gaming into the realm of the Nintendo Switch with its Alienware Concept UFO, a device that's basically a Switch for PC gaming.

It would be easy to call this concept device a Nintendo Switch rip off, and we're not above it, but we absolutely dig the Alienware UFO's ambition to bring PC gaming to a Switch-like concept.

With the ability to support Windows 10 and Valve's Steam PC game service, and detach its controllers for single-player tabletop play, it can make PC games more mobile than they've ever been.

We're all about portable gaming here and would love to see PC gaming continue to grow and thrive on mobile platforms. Plus, it's got a sharper 1,920 x 1,200-pixel screen and Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) connectivity, so it's gunning to be a bit more luxe than Nintendo's portable marvel. This is one we seriously hope to see out before the end of 2020.

This semi-modular gaming PC makes good on Razer's five-year-old concept first debuted at CES 2014. Now, easier PC gaming building and maintenance is here.

When we saw Razer's Project Christine concept for a fully modular gaming PC way back at CES 2014, we had hope for an easier future in building or upgrading computers. That never came true, but Razer compromised with reality to achieve the Tomahawk gaming PC chassis.

An ultra-slim and short PC case — seemingly not much longer than an external graphics card enclosure — Razer has managed to fit a full-sized graphics card inside as well as all of the other necessary parts. How? Intel's NUC Compute Platform, which packs the processor, memory and storage into a single module that can be removed and upgraded with future models.

In short, the Razer Tomahawk case has made building a gaming PC as dead simple as it's going to get for a while. Razer will sell complete systems using the case as well as the case on its own for prices unknown yet. Regardless, Razer has brought incredible style and accessibility to desktop PC gaming, and for that, we're awfully excited.
