In brief: In between all the daring form factors presented at CES by laptop manufacturers, there's the much more down-to-earth Lenovo ThinkBook Plus, a laptop that can double as a Kindle for a relatively palatable $1,199 price tag.

Lenovo unveiled several new laptops at CES with updated internals and new form factors, such as the ThinkPad X1 Fold , a

What just happened? Nikon at CES this week officially introduced the D780 DSLR, the successor to 2014’s D750 – the company's most popular full-frame DSLR to date. The new D780 features a 24.5-megapixel backside-illuminated (BSI) FX-Format CMOS sensor mated to the familiar Expeed 6 image processor (the same chip used in the Nikon Z6 and Z7). ISO performance now scales up to 5

Why it matters: It’s getting to be a familiar theme. Some of the most interesting announcements from CES 2020 in Las Vegas are focused around PCs. In fact, this year, there are probably more PC developments from a wider variety of vendors than we’ve seen in quite some time. From foldable displays, to 5G, to AI silicon, to sustainable manufacturing

In a nutshell: ToTok, a popular messaging app removed from the Google and Apple storefronts last month after it was accused of being a UAE spy tool, is back on the Play Store following a two-week absence.

In late December, a report by the New York Times that cited United States intelligence officials claimed ToTok was a surveillance tool that can track every conversation, movement, relationship, appointment, sound, and image of those who install it–information that ends up in the hands of the United Arab Emirates

Something to look forward to: Most PC fans prefer putting together their own rigs rather than buying a pre-built system, but the latter option can have its advantages, such as coming with some unusual cases and features. MSI’s MEG Aegis Ti5, for example, has a dial, an OLED panel, and looks like something from the future. It’s also the “market’s first 5G-compatible desktop.”

We usually see weird and wonderful pre-built PCs at events such

What just happened? Sony driving its electric car on-stage probably makes for the biggest surprise reveal of CES. Called the Vision-S Prototype, the concept car isn't meant to turn Sony into the next big EV maker, rather serve as a testbed for showcasing automotive technologies that leverage the company's expertise in imaging, sensors and entertainment products.

Sony doesn't plan on selling electric cars anytime soon, but the company's first effort with the Vision-S concept certainly looks promising. Focused

In a nutshell: While you’re unlikely to use traditional mail over email these days, those living in the UK will soon have a good reason to opt for physical letters: a set of postage stamps that celebrate classic titles from the British video game industry.

Royal Mail has announced the set of 12 stamps, which feature games going back to the 1980s. Four of these are from the Tomb Raider series, which was created by Core Design. The images show the original Tomb Raider from

Something to look forward to: With the 3.5mm jack all but gone from smartphones, Bluetooth has become the standard for listening to our headphones—though there’s plenty of room for improvement. At CES, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has announced that the technology will receive a new set of features known as Bluetooth LE Audio.

The LE part of the name stands for “ low energy ,” which has been connecting devices such as wearables and sensors without rapidly draining their batteries since 20

In context: If there's one event we at TechSpot look forward to every year, it's the Consumer Electronics Show. Companies don't always bring their most practical in-dev products to the show, but they do tend to bring their most ambitious or otherwise exciting ones. Alienware arguably has a foot in both camps this year following the reveal of its "Concept UFO" handheld gaming device.

When you first lay eyes on the Concept UFO , you'll likely notice some striking similarities to Nintendo
