In a show full of some very big ideas, the Razer Edge gaming tablet takes the concept of tablet PCs championed by Windows 8 and devices like the Microsoft Surface and applies them to gaming. In doing so, it succeeds in showing us where tablets, computing, and even entertainment will be heading very soon.
A PC gaming-oriented Windows 8 tablet available with a family of accessories that open up different usage modes, the Razer Edge lets you play full blown PC games practically anywhere.
3D Systems high-end CubeX 3D printer can make objects in up to three different colors, and out of two different plastics. It also lets you build bigger objects than any other printer in its price range.

Vizio's S4251W offers true surround from a sound bar via wireless rear speakers that connect to a subwoofer you can place in the back of your living room. It's not the first of its kind, but it also includes an innovative remote with a built-in display and an attractive $330 price.
Though its name is like a bad "Star Wars" joke, the YotaPhone is half e-reader, half smartphone: On the front, you've got a 4.3-inch, full-color LCD screen, and the back, a secondary screen that uses monochromatic e-ink technology. All for conserving battery life, you get the best of both worlds.
The Seagate Wireless Plus lets you carry 1TB of content with you on a compact device that has 10 hours of battery life. Stream the content to up to eight clients, and now clients can even upload videos and photos back to the device.
Lenovo's 27-inch Horizon Table PC works like a standard all-in-one. It also has a battery, and it can lie flat. Combine those features with a custom touch software environment and some unique accessories, and Lenovo hopes the Horizon will inspire new multiuser computing experiences.
4K resolution TVs were everywhere this year, but Samsung's version isn't just about the extra pixels -- for which there's no native content, and which create a difference you won't be able to discern. This 85-inch showpiece comes in a unique frame design that's as much art as any TV we've ever seen, and its picture quality should trump other 4K sets by virtue of a full-array LED backlight. Pricing wasn't announced, but we'd be shocked if it was less than $20K.
The Flex is Fitbit's first band-style health tracker. Unlike the similar Jawbone Up, however, the Flex can sync wirelessly via Bluetooth 4.0. It also works with Android devices in addition to iPhones.
The Dish Hopper with Sling, the original pick for Best Home Theater and Audio product and Best of Show, was removed from consideration due to active litigation involving our parent company, CBS Corp. We will no longer be reviewing products manufactured by companies with which we are in litigation with respect to such product.
