Personal computers aren't dead yet: Laptops are showing new signs of life at CES

For a product category that only a few years ago some people thought was dying, personal computers – and laptops in particular – are showing remarkable signs of life. In fact, based on the impressive range and number of PC and PC technology-related announcements from this year's CES, including systems, chips, accessories and more, it's probably one of the most vibrant periods in the device's 40 year history. It's easy to see why. During the pandemic, few items took on more importance than the PC. Whether for remote work, remote schooling or just remote living, PCs became essential for not just a household, but virtually every individual within the household.
