The 1080p image can scale from 30 inches all the way up to 100 on any surface for a portable movie night or to make a flawless TikTok background. While portable projectors are a category that gets hurled at you in droves at CES every year, the Freestyle stands apart (for $899 it certainly should) with auto-focusing, auto-leveling and auto-keystoning that remove a lot of the typical frustrations with portable projectors. Samsung’s Freestyle projector is not a device that I was anticipating coming into CES 2022, but it’s one of the most fun gadgets I saw announced this year.

The gorgeous carbon finish of course remains present and it still astounds that Lenovo manages to pack two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB Type-A ports, an HDMI port, a combo headphone/mic jack and a Nano SIM slot into a laptop that weighs just 2.48 pounds. The addition of Intel 12th Gen processors, including the more powerful new P-series, may open up more users to the ThinkPad X1 Carbon as it should be capable of far more demanding tasks than its predecessor. Lenovo has had the business laptop market on lock with its ThinkPad X1 Carbon for years now and the 10th generation announced at CES 2022 continues that run. (Image credit: Laptop Mag) Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 And if previous price point trends are to be followed (average Swift X 14 pricing has been $1,000), this will be a great value machine for creative prosumers and gamers alike. Plus, with a 1080p webcam, WiFi 6E, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI 2.0 and a 3.5mm headphone jack (unlike the Dell XPS 13 Plus), the connectivity makes for a seriously user-friendly system. That power is combined with a 2240 x 1400 IPS display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and 100% sRGB color gamut, and all that is packed into a frame coming in at 12.3 x 8.4 x 0.7 inches and weighing just under 3.1 pounds. This Swift X boasts a 12th Gen Intel Core CPU, a dedicated RTX 3050 Ti GPU, up to 16GB of DDR5 RAM and up to 2TB SSD storage. –– Sean Riley Best LaptopĬES has proven that 2022 is going to be an amazing year for laptops, which made this category difficult to decide! But when we take into account what’s important here, one stood out: the new Acer Swift X 14. For users that don’t care about the latest flagships the Nokia G400 looks like an intriguing phone and an incredibly encouraging sign for where things are going in the budget phone market in 2022. The Nokia G400 launches with Android 12, a welcome change from some other budget brands, HMD promises two years of software updates, which may not match up with Google or Samsung, but for this price it’s a solid level of support. Those are the kind of specs that even many flagships couldn’t live up to a year or two ago and now it’s available on a phone for under $250? The processor is the biggest trade-off on the phone with a Snapdragon 480, we wouldn’t plan on doing any gaming on this phone, but the 6GB of RAM should help keep multitasking snappy. While it may not be a threat to the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, the Nokia G400 was the most attention grabbing phone of CES 2022 as it delivers a 6.6-inch, 120Hz display, 5G and a 48MP primary camera for just $239. ![]()
