55″ Samsung OLED TV
Samsung’s new ultra-thin TV made real waves at CES. Its eye-popping picture quality and super-fast response time make the 55-inch screen size merely one amazing feature among many.The display is thinner than my pinky finger, so you won’t have to worry about the screen protruding off the wall. The price is yet to be announced, and it very well could be out of reach for some small businesses, but you have to admit — that is one awesome machine.
NOKIA LUMIA 900
Nokia’s new flagship Windows smartphone offers an expansive screen and speedy 4G mobile downloads. The Lumia 900, celebrated by Microsoft in the company’s final CES keynote, looks similar to other recent Nokia releases, except for a 4.3-inch AMOLED screen. It also packs in an 8-megapixel camera, a 1.4GHz processor and 16GB of storage.It shares a sleek design with the 3G Lumia 800, but has a bigger 1840 mAH battery to give better performance on the power-hungry 4G network. It also sports killer front and back cameras, the back camera has a wide-angle 28mm f/2.2 lens; the front-facing lens is f/2.8.

Windows Phone 7 is rated as the OS is fresh and good performance. The Nokia Lumia 900 also excels in the sector of the camera, great screen and 4G LTE connectivity.
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga
The Yoga makes the most of the forthcoming (and very finger-friendly) Windows 8 with a gorgeous 13.1in touchscreen, but without scrimping on the keyboard.So there’s no compromise and we get a gadget that’ll (literally) bend over backwards for us.The Lenovo Yoga is bringing users to a whole new level of personal computing. This thin notebook PC can also serve as a tablet by rotating its screen around on a hinge attached to the edge of the display.The new IdeaPad model will be one of a handful of tablets using Windows 8 when it is released and will do so using a chip as powerful as the Intel Core i7, while storing up to 256GB. The Yoga 13 will be just 1.69cm thick and weigh 1.47kg.
Lenovo’s IdeaPad Yoga 13 includes a touchscreen, but it still comes in at just 17mm thick. It also manages to do all this without sacrificing battery life, as Lenovo still rates the Yoga for over eight hours of battery life. Things get even better from there, as not only do you get a touchscreen, but it uses an IPS panel.
