I can’t tell you how glad I am that TechRadar's Get Fit For '24 week, a bonanza of indispensible health and fitness content and advice, ran just before the annual technology face-blast that is CES. You see, you can’t really prepare for the sprawling event in Las Vegas (January 9-12) without some serious cardio prep. Forget 10,000 steps a day – you might do 15,000 or more in a single busy day covering new giant mini LED TVs, AI PCs, robots, and a billion and one sustainability promises. So, yes, my brain is now almost entirely focused on the event, which officially starts a few days before the public opening with a raft of press events. The TR team will be on the ground to bring you all the breaking news, and even some TikToks (subscribe!).
Before I depart for Vegas, though, I just about have time to reflect on another busy week in technology, which included Microsoft Copilot’s bold appearance on the keyboards of many of the laptops and PCs you’ll buy in 2024. Meanwhile, Samsung is preparing to launch Galaxy AI along with its Galaxy S24 smartphone lineup right after CES – and I've been reflecting on the idea that AI is set make for a challenging year in the US, with truth and facts set to be at a premium.
Was Christmas really only a couple of weeks ago? No matter. Happy new year, folks, and buckle in for a wild ride in 2024.
CES doesn’t officially kick off until Tuesday, but all this week the leading tech brands have been teasing the products they’ll be showing off at the huge tech expo in Las Vegas. TechRadar will be at the show in force, and we’ve rounded up what we’re looking forward to seeing in the fields of smart home, TVs, computing, and more.
It's been Get Fit For '24 week on TechRadar this week, which means plenty of advice to help you start the year off right from a health perspective – including our Sleep Editor Ruth Hamilton's thoughts on hitting 10,000 steps a day versus visiting the gym.
Samsung has confirmed that its next Unpacked hardware launch event will be on January 17, so mark your calendars – and expect lots of new AI features and tools to be announced, alongside the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and Galaxy S24 Ultra.
It looks as though 2024 will very much be the year of AI – and that means we're going to have to be very, very careful about what we choose to believe, as artificially generated text, images, and videos take over the web even more than they did in 2023.
If you've logged into your streaming services lately, you'll know there's a lot to sift through – so let TechRadar be your guide to the pick of the content across Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more, with the best movies and TV shows to watch this weekend.
