Well, CES is now behind us and we have tons to sort through. While we do that, we'll give you some opinions on what we thought was our favorites. First up was NVIDIA's Tegra K1. By now everyone has seen the reveal video and the press conference. Going into the booth, our minds were collectively blown. The first two K1 devices we saw were on prototype boards that look like a double stacked micro ITX motherboard. One was running 4K video to 2 screens. The video was clear and no stutters to be seen. The second was showing in car use, giving real time lane detection, collision warnings, car tracking, current speed and more! Needless to say, the K1 is a game changer for Android and mobile computing as a whole.

Today MAd Catz not only gave us the final specs for its M.O.J.O. Android TV device, but also a price and release date. On December 10th, you can take your $249.99 + tax down to the store, or online, and purchase this tiny box that houses a: Tegra 4 T40s @ 1.8Ghz 2GB ram 16GB storage USB 2.0 and 3.0 Bluetooth HDMI @ 1080p MicroSD Slot with support for up to 128GB Wifi a/b/g/n and comes with a C.T.R.L.R. controller. The specs are pretty great, but we are a bit unsure if it's price point will agree with gamers considering the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One launching weeks before. Read the full PR after the break

Now this is the tablet I have been waiting for. NVIDIA has unveiled the Tegra Note platform for OEMs. What does this mean for you? That means that NVIDIA will not be selling them directly, like their video cards, but through OEMs like EVGA, ASUS, and others. Luckily, according to the press release, NVIDIA will be handling firmware releases directly. so everyone will be up to date regardless of who you bought it from! Full press release is after the break!

Well, last night Nvidia announced its follow up to the Tegra 3 SOC (Kal-El) with the 72 core gpu Tegra 4 SOC (Wayne). So far NVIDIA's new Shield portable gaming unit and Vizio's new 10 inch tablet are confirmed to be using it... MadFinger's Dead Trigger 2 was shown running off the Tegra 4 and shows almost current gen console quality... Maybe early Xbox 369 and PS3 quality... Time to sell the Nexus 7?
