First look at LG's notebooks and desktops from CES 2014

By Gadjo C. Sevilla

LG is not the first name to come to mind when your're thinking notebook or desktop computers, but judging from the range of new products showcased during CES 2014 and captured by contributor Alex Davies, LG's been busy ramping up their PC and even Chromebase (?) portfolio. Now, while many of these look really sweet, LG's traditionally focused its notebook sales in Asia, so it's anyone's guess if any of these will make it to Canada anytime soon but we can always hope.

CES 2014: Lenovo joins the 8-inch Windows 8.1 tablet category with the ThinkPad 8

The 8-inch tablet market for Windows 8 devices is going to see some serious competition. We love Dell's Venue 8 Pro and what it brings to the market but Lenovo's done one better with its recently revealed ThinkPad 8 which brings an 8.3-inch screen with a  1,920 x 1,080 resolution. It is powered by a 2.4GHz quad-core Atom processor, 128GB storage and an 8-hour battery life plus 8 hours of battery life. It should start at around US $449 when it comes to market in the next month.
