They are built to impress and they do, especially the Transformer Book T300 Chi from Asus, a tablet/laptop that has beauty and function all in one package. It was by far the most daring and appealing new device thanks to it’s ultra slim and lightweight design. Made from all aluminum it weighs just 1.6 pounds and is only 0.17 inches thick, making it paper thin without sacrificing quality or durability. It has a 12.5″ screen with a 2,560 x 1,440 display in 235 ppi for stunning clarity whether your reading or watching videos and is built with the latest Core M processor from Intel, so it can handle multiple tasks.

With the wearable device craze taking a stronghold of this year’s CES laptops and tablets aren’t as prominent as they once were, but they still have an impact. While there aren’t as many jaw-dropping devices as in years past there are still plenty of great offering from a diverse group of companies. The CES tablet trend seems to be an eclectic mix of new gadgets from veterans like Dell combined with budget friendly devices from up and coming companies trying to make a mark in this field. Here are the highlights of what we have seen so far.

Fresh Faces 2015

Among the new names entering the tablet/PC category is Lenovo, a big name in electronics and TV’s that is expanding into this field. Lenovo came out strong at CES by unveiling several new tablets and PC’s that were impressive in both looks and functionality. Their devices appear to be cutting-edge and packed with features consumers can appreciate.

In the tablet category Lenovo showed off it’s Yoga series, featuring the Yoga 2 with AnyPen. This tablet stands out because of it’s unique and unprecedented pen technology. As ZD Net reported the Yoga 2 does not use a traditional stylus to write: instead an actual ball-point pen is required to write on-screen. While that idea seems strange, Lenovo insists i is the best way to accurately write as opposed to a stylus or your hand. The tablet runs on Windows 8.1 with a 1.8g GHz Intel Atom quad-core processor and 2 GB of RAM.
