Awesome Computer RAZER PROJECT CHRISTINE

ith a field that mostly included refreshes of existing models, it was tough to get excited about PCs at this year's CES. But Razer's Project Christine is an important exception: It's so innovative, in fact, that it doesn't even look like a computer. In addition to its futuristic digs, we were instantly smitten with its modular design, which makes replacing the GPU as simple as inserting a pod into one of the many, many expansion bays. Project Christine could mark the beginning of plug-and-play PC upgrades for gaming machines and, with time, it could change the way OEMs design regular computers, too. -- Dana Wollman, Managing Editor

OCULUS RIFT "CRYSTAL COVE" PROTOTYPE

Virtual reality has captured the imagination of developers, consumers, and businesses for decades, but all VR headsets produced so far have been notable more for their limitations than their capabilities. With its latest prototype, Oculus VR has taken a huge leap forward, eliminating the stomach-churning motion blur that has plagued previous generations of VR headsets, and adding sensors and a camera to track the position of both your head and body and provide more accurate simulated movement. With the Rift, Oculus has created a device that may usher in in an era of truly immersive gaming and entertainment, and even create new opportunities for businesses to use virtual reality in everything from manufacturing to medical environments. Of all the exciting, innovative products we've seen at CES this year, the Oculus Rift "Crystal Cove" prototype is unquestionably the best of the best. -- Marc Perton, Executive Editor
