KANDY | CES 2019 RECAP By Liam Davis When a fake meat product captures many “Best of Shows” awards it is a sad day for tech. That is exactly what occurred this year at CES as the media fawned over a meatless burger. With major mobile phone companies now withholding mobile phones releases for the MWC Barcelona (formerly Mobile World Congress) in Barcelona, CES has been stripped of a significant product line. The show continues being a powerhouse for home consumer electronics and computing devices, as well as new and emerging technologies. Here is our “Best of” in those categories. BEST TV LG OLED TV R After showcasing prototypes for multiple years, LG has finally made its rollable, 65" 4K HDR Smart TV available for purchase. Made of organic materials, the LG SIGNATURE OLED TV R can transform itself to offer three different viewing options – Full View, Line View, and Zero View. Enjoy Full View for the traditional experience of a 65” TV; roll it down to line view to turn into a home photo gallery or just stream your favorite tunes. And do we really need to explain Zero view? Gone are the days of arguing with the wife over what is more important to hang on the wall, your 65-inch tv or the family portrait from 2005. BEST ROBOT Samsung Bot Care Samsung Bot Care is the healthcare-specialized robot. It will measure blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, and sleeping state, and is even capable of reminding you when it’s time to take your medicine. Meet George Jetson or should we say, Bot meet Rosie the maid. How much longer do we have to wait for flying cars?
BEST WEARABLE Withings Move ECG MSRP: $130 At a fraction of the cost of Apple Watch 4, and with a fraction of the bells and whistles, the Move ECG watch will monitor your cardiovascular health and heart conditions. It is the first watch to record an electrocardiogram (ECG) on-demand and has one-year battery life. Copyright Kandy Magazine | February 2019 - Issuu Edition
Best Business Laptop Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1 MSRP $1,599 Dell has the world’s smallest commercial 14” 2-in-1, with up to 24 hours of battery life. Are you ready to be amazed? The Latitude 7400 2-in-1 is the first PC to use a proximity sensor which detects your presence, wakes the system, and immediately scans for facial recognition to log in with Windows Hello. HELLO! Even when you step away for a break, it will recognize that you have left and will lock itself to preserve battery life and maintain security. Serious Mission Impossible tech inside this device.
