Dell XPS 13
Ultrabooks played a major part in CES this year, so it's no wonder there are a couple here. The first is Dell's new XPS. Not only is it reasonably stylish, but it's more compact than almost all of its rivals, Dell claiming the machine packs a 13in screen into an 11in form-factor. Well, almost. It won't challenge Apple's 11in MacBook Air, but it will take up less space than other 13in Ultrabooks.

High end audio company Behringer?
Oh come on! Behringer is not high end. They make low cost, let's say "equivalents" of other people's designs. Good value for money, but not high end.
To sum up
So the best from CES - the world's biggest gadget show - was a bunch of computers and tellies. With a (admittedly veeeeery cool) RC helicopter and toy guitar to mix it up a bit.
Disgusting!
That Behringer iAxe makes me SO mad.
There's a perfectly good bit of technology already available that allows people to learn the guitar and it's called a guitar. You can buy for £99 with an amplifier from that well known auction site! It has touch and feel and the required tactile feedback from the strings. Play the iAxe and all you're learning to do is play the iAxe not a guitar. I'm off to placate my Les Paul and my Strat now ... they're moaning in pain!
