It was 1992 when Apple last presented at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. But the tech giant is finally making a comeback in 2020. They won't be introducing new products, though. Jane Horvath, Apple's senior director of privacy, will speak at the "Chief Privacy Officer Roundtable" happening on January 7. He will be joined by executives from companies like Facebook and Procter & Gamble. A commissioner from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission will also be there.

CES 2019: Dell unveils new XPS 13 with a top-mounted HD camera

Dell is coming on strong at the International CES in Las Vegas with a whole slew of compelling hardware during its #DellExperience event. One of the biggest products in Dell's stable is the XPS 13 which started the skinny bezel trend with the InfinityEdge display that everyone is following. One issue with older versions of the XPS 13 was that the front facing camera had to be placed at the bottom of the display.

This led to some very unflattering "nose-cam" images and was definitely not the sort of experience expected from a premium and corporate facing device.

Dell's solved that today with the all-new XPS 13 with the smallest mounted camera on a notebook yet. The Frost White variant of the XPS 13 is also whiter and frostier than ever. It will ship with 8 generation Intel processor, great battery life and innovative thermal technology. Definitely exciting stuff for one of the most beloved and desired notebooks out there.
