I don’t know about you guys, but we’ve been busy fawning over all of the cool stuff companies are revealing at CES this week. We’ve seen all kinds of laptops, projectors, EVs, smart home tech, peripherals, wearables, and other cool gadgets that we thought we’d hand out some awards to those that stood out from the crowd.

• Alienware’s newest monitor is packing some downright impressive technology, and we’re pretty sure gamers will love it.
• … and so much more!
