At the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show, we saw a deluge of new ultrabooks computers and some interesting new tablets.

Intel said it anticipates 75 new ultrabooks in the coming year. The trend is even attracting non-computer makers. TV manufacturer Vizio jumped into the computer market with a couple, including one of the first thin-and-light 15-inch models.

Consumers will be the beneficiaries if Vizio offers the kind of bargain prices for its ultrabooks that it does for its TVs, because such a low price would really set ultrabooks apart as innovative products. Many manufacturers haven't announced ultrabook pricing yet. Others have set theirs in the $900 range. But such prices must drop for consumers to really embrace this new category.

Meanwhile, a few innovations are making their way onto tablets. Samsung, for example, really pumped up the display in its Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 by adding Super AMOLED Plus technology. Sony debuted a dual-screen tablet, with small 5.5-inch displays.
