CES 2015 Day -1

The forty-eighth Consumer Electronics Show is almost upon us, and with it comes the next year of technology.

There are many gizmos, gadgets, and vehicles shown off at CES, but here are the best. Acer Chromebook 15 Acer was making news even before CES started by unveiling the largest Chromebook in the world.
