The new year had barely arrived when the Digital Trends team – site partners and blood brothers and sisters with us here at HRAC – rolled into Las Vegas, but they wasted no time prowling the Las Vegas Convention Center for the gear and gadgets that will come to define tech in 2017.
With more than 2.6 million square feet of exhibition space sprawling across nearly every convention center in Vegas, that was no easy task. The conference is well past its lean recession years and back to the sprawling, bawdy spectacle it was born to be. From drones to dishwashers, electronics manufacturers from across the world packed up their best to show it off in Sin City.
Fortunately, DT brought their own record-breaking crew to handle it all, and flew out its largest-ever editorial crew of writers, editors, and video staff, plus hosted a booth for the first time, delivering nonstop video coverage straight from the show floor.
When all was said and done – and plenty was said and done – a handful of gadgets rose above the rest. Whether cutting edge or just profoundly practical, these are the devices we can’t wait to buy in 2017.
