Laptops at CES 2010

For a scary moment there, we were definitely worried that CES 2010 would turn out to be a yawn fest for notebooks. With Pine Trail Netbook and Core i5/i7 platform refreshes dominating the announcements, we could have written a standard template and just kept replacing the model name as press releases flooded in.

Luckily, there were enough interesting machines to keep our eyelids from drooping to the floor, like the Lenovo IdeaPad U1 with its detachable screen and the dual-trackpad Asus NX90. HP has also spruced up its business Netbook with a multitouch display, while Samsung is epitomizing hydrophobia with a line of spill-resistant minilaptops.
