The 10 Best Gadgets of CES 2013

Samsung NX300

As if the announcements of its stunning UHD TV and flexible YOUM screens weren’t enough, Samsung introduced a new mirrorless shooter that can only be described as a photography beast. The NX300 mounts a 20.3MP APS-C sensor that’s capable of capturing stunning 3D visuals and 1080p video recording at 60 frames per second, while offering an ISO range of 100 to 25,600. Shutter speeds clock in at 1/6000th of a second, plus the camera automatically pairs with a Samsung phone via app that allows for wireless photo transfers. This is serious.

NVIDIA Project Shield

The Xbox-inspired controller manages to bring together handheld, PC, and mobile gaming all into one contraption, which is powered by the manufacturer’s new monstrous Tegra 4 CPU. NVIDIA’s portable console boasts a 5-inch (1280 x 720) display and runs on Android Jelly Bean at the moment. That’s not the dopest part about Project Shield. It’s the ability to stream games from any PC storing a GeForce GTX 650 GPU via wi-fi, while having the luxury to port over controls from PC titles. In the immortal words of Homer Simpson: aghhhh!!!!
