LAS VEGAS -- If you're coming to CES, bring a cool ultrabook or innovative tablet or don't bother stepping off the plane. They're the hottest things at the show.
Ultrabooks are poised to disrupt the traditional notebook space, and with good reason. They're thin, they're light, and they're loaded with panache, making traditional business notebooks and desktops look like relics. And since they use solid-state storage, ultrabooks boot up almost instantaneously, a feature that could convert critics who wonder why anyone would pay the big money these sleek, aesthetic dream machines command.
And then there are the tablets, which dare to challenge the Kindle Fire and almighty iPad. We're seeing tablets with Super AMOLED screens, lower prices and a bevy of form factors. Hell, we even found a waterproof tablet.
We expected to see a lot of quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 tablets, as well as tablets that run Ice Cream Sandwich. We were not disappointed.
One of the most interesting tablets we've run across is the ASUS MeMO 370T, which offers both those killer features in a 7-inch form factor for $250. We covered the 370T in our Nvidia report, but Asus' PR people dropped the ball on getting us a chance to photograph it so we haven't included it here.
Here are the 11 coolest ultrabooks and tablets we've seen at CES. Yes, there are a lot of Samsung products on the list, but they're killing it this year, and deserve the recognition.
