The Best of Computex 2012

Computex 2012

TAIPEI—PCMag is getting ready to decamp back to our head offices in New York City following an exciting week here covering Computex 2012. The largest technology trade show in Asia, and the second largest in the world, was a show case for lots of interesting products and highlighted some key trends that will undoubtedly continue to play a role in the months and years to come. Hopefully we've given you a good idea over the last several days of some of the most important things the show announced or produced.

But what were our favorites? That's more difficult to answer. Because this year's Computex wasn't about making a lot of news, aside from incessant chatter about Windows 8 (maybe you've heard of it?), there weren't truckloads of new computers to see aside from the ultrabooks and tablets that every major company now apparently feels they have to put out. So, although we picked a few specific items we got to see and play with, we also selected some of the fun things we did and saw while we were here.
