We’ve seen some interesting combinations of hardware at this year’s CES 2024, and one that really stuck out to us was from ADATA – not a company most people think of right away when it comes to cooling components. At first glance this product looks like your standard dual-fan CPU tower cooler, but when you take a closer look, you will see that it is much more than that.

Our friends over at CyberPowerPC were excited to show off some of their new cases, and even a liquid cooled laptop, at CES 2024, and we were more than happy to take a look. CyberPowerPC always seems to be working on something new, which is great for us, as we get to see the fruits of their labors every year in Las Vegas before they become released to the masses. Checkout some of the new cases and even a liquid cooled laptop in this review of what we saw from CyberPowerPC at CES 2024.

ASRock is a company we mainly know for their motherboards and they did have a few new boards this year at CES.

They showed us some of their new OLED panels as well as some very fast refresh rate displays at CES 2024!

The only booth that we visited on the show floor at CES 2024 was Razer. Not because we didn’t want to chat with anyone else there, but because they continue to be pretty much the only large company we work with that still has a large booth in the LVCC. Aside from the location info, we did get to experience some of their new products in-person at the show, and have provided at bit of info for each one in the following roundup.

Cooler Master doesn’t just make PC cases, coolers, and peripherals – they have a good variety of PC lifestyle offerings as well, and two of them that we wanted to cover from this year’s CES 2024 were pretty impressive. If you’re anything like me, my desk can become a bit of a mess, and I’m always looking to use multiple devices at my desk, but run into the issues of having to find an open outlet and running new cables for connectivity. They’ve got a nice solution for that now. Additionally, their new modular control surface aims to improve your on-screen presence with ease.

Check out these new products that we encountered while visiting them at the show.
