CES 2019 preview: the PC gaming hardware to look out for in January

The annual post-Christmas techgasm that is the Consumer Electronics Show is kicking off in January. As soon as the New Year hangover subsides the tech industry will turn its steely, Sauron-esque eye on Las Vegas and the bright lights and excess of CES 2019. There will be a heady mix of audio, televisual, and computing goodness on show, with an added slice of washing machine and fridge/freezer tech to give it a little edge. But it’s the computing side that we’re most interested in, and while CES 2019 will not be the most PC-centric trade show of the year, there are still set to be some important techie noises filtering out of the desert sands and the faded casino razzmatazz of Vegas. We’re taking a look at what the big PC companies are likely to show off and what alternative gear the January event is likely to present. It’s a good chance to see what’s coming at the start of 2019, as well as a first look at some of the tech that might be filtering out a lot later in the year.
