CES Unveiled

Gizmodo: Kevin Christley—Night before last was the annual CES Unveiled, a press-only party where journalists got a preview of the best of the upcoming products featured in the show as well as the winners of the Innovations 2005. The room was a bit small, but there were plenty of interesting finds, if you could squeeze past the huge crowd.
AMD was showing off the latest laptops powered by their AMD Mobile Athlon 64 Processor. They had a Sharp Actius AL27 running the AMD 64 2700+, 15″ XGA screen, built-in 802.11g, 512MB DDR SDRAM, 60GB HD, Dual Format DVDRW, 10/100 LAN, 56k Modem, PCMCIA Type II slot, USB 2.0 ports and Firewire, all in a small laptop that weighs just 6.5lbs. It looked a lot like an Apple iBook, which is probably why the booth babes liked it the best out of the bunch.
