CES 2023, the most influential tech event of the year, is scheduled to run from January 5-8 in Las Vegas, Nevada. For many, it’s a return to form and we’ll be there to cover the show extensively to give you a peek at all the coolest tech gadgets to come out of the show. Tech trends for the year are often established at the show, so we’re excited to see what’s in store.
Before the big show gets here, we want to look back and revisit the biggest awards winners of CES 2022. While many of the devices that are announced at CES are subsequently released, it may take months or even years — and in some cases, they become vaporware and never come out.
From foldable laptops, to versatile digital projectors, we were fascinated by the tech gadgets that came out of CES 2022. Here’s where our award winners from last year currently stand.

Foldable laptops became a more viable reality in 2022 with the arrival of the Asus Zenbook 17 Fold OLED UX9702.

Review: Meet the Swiss Army Knife of Digital Smart Projectors
It was without a doubt one of the most versatile tech gadgets we reviewed last year, partly because of how it was more than just another digital projector.

Nothing’s more awe-inspiring than a giant sized OLED TV. We know the feeling after reviewing some of the best OLED TVs around, but the LG G2 OLED Evo takes it to a grander level with its immense size and equally high price tag. It’s been released, but it’s one of those super thin TVs that’s hard to find.

Review: Does The Roborock S7 Max V Ultra Robot Vacuum Really Suck?
The Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra is one serious robot vacuum. Not only does this 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mopper clean up rooms extremely well, but its self-empty base also scrubs down the bot each time. Now that’s something we haven’t seen before.

Anker’s Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K projector didn’t take too long to be released. In fact, it came out at peak summertime for those perfect backyard movie nights. While it delivered stunning picture quality, its price tag will certainly put a dent into any budget.
