A litany of consumer tech, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2017 in Las Vegas was chock full of all manner of gadgets, drones and phones. But amidst all this there was a vein of tech that could slot as nicely in the business world as it does in home life.
This year’s CES brought new workstation machines, pocketable computers, the spread of virtual assistants and an inevitable new routes into driverless cars.
It was a strong start for the PC maker that refused to believe the rumors that the PC market is dead. To this end the company went on to show-off the Dell Canvas, a 27 inch touchscreen secondary screen designed to work with workstation PC and laptops, offering a similar yet different take on Microsoft’s Surface Studio giant tablet-cum-all-in-one-PC.
But a big secondary screen is one thing, so Dell revealed its Workstation 5720 AIO, a speaker stuffed all-in-one desktop workstation, with a specification designed to take on heavy workloads, from parsing data to video editing. It then packed up a similar spec in to a laptop with its Precision 7720 mobile workstation, which offers Kaby Lake processors and graphics power for either Nvidia and AMD.
Lenovo also got into the overhaul game, revealing tweaked versions of its ThinkPad X1 Carbon and ThinkPad X1 Yoga laptops.
