CES 2026 travel-tech report: notes on taking notes
I gambled heavily at CES 2026 in a way that could have blown up disastrously but did not. By which I mean, choosing the year’s busiest workweek to put a new note-taking app into intense service didn’t leave me struggling to reclaim lost input or untangle duplicate records.
(I also got in a little gambling of the blackjack sort; that worked out okay too.)
Evernote’s new management choosing to impose a 92 percent rate increase pushed me to migrate most of my existing 15 years’ worth of notes to Obsidian before my Evernote subscription would renew at that jacked-up $249.99/year rate Jan. 2. And then Evernote’s customer-retention offer of a year of service at the old rate came after I’d gotten over the worst of the migration, so I boarded my flight from Dulles Sunday morning with a new set of note apps on my phone and laptop.
Obsidian’s $48/year, end-to-end encrypted synchronization service didn’t allow the luxury of seeing keystrokes or onscreen-keyboard taps on one device show up on the other device’s screen almost instantly as Evernote had in recent months. But it proved reliable enough even over the iffy bandwidth at CES, with a couple of cases of the service flashing a “merging changes automatically” notice when the automatic sync lagged my device-to-device switches. I didn’t notice more than a few characters lost in the bargain.
I was less happy with some weird onscreen-keyboard misbehavior that delayed my work for a minute or less each time.
I turned to an extra app, Google’s Pixel-only on-device transcription of recorded audio, for two longer conversations that I needed to capture at length before writing them up. That more private AI service did not seem as accurate as Evernote’s cloud-based AI transcription; it looks like I’ll need a start-to-finish playback of the original recording to check the results.
The hardware I brought to Vegas, meanwhile, remained unchanged from last year’s except for my buying a smaller, faster-charging USB-C power adapter last spring. The HP Spectre x360 laptop that I’d purchased in 2023 showed its age in the form of a shorter battery life compared to last year; I don’t expect to take it to CES 2027. My much newer Pixel 9 Pro, meanwhile, continued to serve as a terrific phone for photography and for standing-up notetaking.
I wish I could be as complimentary about the T-Mobile service on my phone, but I saw my phone struggle for connectivity often enough (especially in the bandwidth hellscape that is much of the Venetian Expo) that I wished I’d repeated my earlier Wirecutter-review trick of bringing some new loaner WiFi hotspots to CES.
And then there was the time Sunday night when everything seemed to conspire against me: The crowds at a goat rodeo of a Samsung keynote seemed to crumple T-Mobile’s network, I saw no event WiFi advertised, and even my phone somehow charged at its slowest possible rate off that charger. CES regularly serves up moments like that; getting past them does make the rest of the year’s events seem easier.

Of course I’m going to CES. Again. Why would I not?
Normal people can look forward to easing their way back into the work after the holidays, but I know I won’t have that luxury–because I will once again fly to Las Vegas for CES only a few days after New Year’s Day.
That’s been my journalistic lot in life every January since 1998, aside from the pandemic-frozen winter of 2021, and 2026 will not break that streak. Nor will any future January that I can imagine until I retire, whatever that means to somebody who strings together words for a living.
And yet so many tech-industry publicists open up their CES pitches by asking me, the guy serving a life sentence of covering the show, “Going to CES?”
So here’s my official answer to that question: Yes, I am.
To try to get ahead of other questions I keep getting in PR pitches for the Consumer Technology Association’s trade show:
- I should land at LAS late in the morning of Sunday, Jan. 4 and fly home late in the evening of Thursday, Jan. 8.
- Right now, my schedule looks least crowded on the afternoons of the 4th and the 5th and during the day on the 8th.
- If your client is hosting an evening event, my least scheduled evening is Wednesday and my most scheduled evenings are Sunday and Tuesday.
- If your client is hosting a morning event involving breakfast, please tell me about it so I have an alternative to the crime against bagels that is a CES press room.
- I will be at Pepcom’s Digital Experience Monday night and ShowStoppers Tuesday night; if your client will be at either of those giant receptions, please tell me how to find them there, but don’t ask me to set a time to say hi.
- If your client is hosting an event somewhere off the Strip Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, the answer is no. Vegas traffic is at its worst during CES, Clark County never does anything meaningful to improve it, and an Uber voucher won’t make the other cars disappear.
- Invitations with no hint about an event’s location are also a complete waste of everybody’s time. (What is it about this event that makes PR types lose their minds and commit elementary mistakes like that?) Please accept the reality of the space-time continuum and describe an event’s whereabouts upfront.
- Speaking of time, please get your pitch over with already. I don’t want to have to be reshuffling my CES schedule between Christmas and New Year’s.
- If your pitch is good enough, I may set aside most of what I just said here and take you up on it. Case in point: In January, I accepted a day-before invitation to get a ride to Lake Mead on Monday of CES week and experience a battery-electric sport boat.
- Yes, I got your e-mail about CES.

Samsung zapowiada rekord na CES 2026. To będzie największa ekspozycja w historii firmy
Samsung oficjalnie potwierdził swój udział w targach Consumer Electronics Show 2026, które odbędą się w styczniu w Las Vegas.
Producent zapowiada, że jego nadchodząca ekspozycja będzie największą w historii firmy, wyznaczając nowy standard prezentacji innowacji. To strategiczne posunięcie ma na celu podkreślenie dominującej pozycji marki na rynku elektroniki użytkowej.
Targi CES w Las Vegas to jedno z najważniejszych wydarzeń w branży technologicznej, które co roku wyznacza trendy na nadchodzące miesiące. Samsung od lat jest jednym z kluczowych wystawców, a jego prezentacje przyciągają uwagę mediów i konsumentów z całego świata. Decyzja o stworzeniu rekordowej przestrzeni wystawienniczej na edycję w 2026 roku świadczy o rosnącej wadze, jaką firma przykłada do kompleksowej prezentacji swoich osiągnięć.
Największą zmianą w stosunku do poprzednich lat ma być połączenie, pod jednym dachem, dotychczas oddzielnych wystaw telewizorów oraz sprzętu AGD. Celem jest zaprezentowanie odwiedzającym w pełni zintegrowanego i spójnego ekosystemu urządzeń marki Samsung. Taki model prezentacji ma lepiej oddać wizję połączonego domu i płynnej współpracy między różnymi kategoriami produktów – od telewizorów i smartfonów po sprzęt gospodarstwa domowego. Główna wystawa firmy zlokalizowana zostanie w hotelu „Wynn and Encore”.
Oprócz głównej ekspozycji Samsung planuje również mocną obecność w Eureka Park, gdzie zlokalizowana zostanie strefa C-Lab. Jest to wewnętrzny inkubator startupów należący do koreańskiego producenta, który wspiera rozwój innowacyjnych projektów. Prezentacja najciekawszych rozwiązań z programu C-Lab ma umocnić wizerunek firmy jako lidera wspierającego kreatywność i przedsiębiorczość w branży. Warto przypomnieć, że Samsung od 19 lat utrzymuje pozycję numer jeden na globalnym rynku telewizorów, co zawdzięcza ciągłemu wprowadzaniu innowacji, takich jak technologie QLED, OLED czy rozwiązania oparte na sztucznej inteligencji.
Pełne szczegóły dotyczące nowych produktów i technologii, które zostaną zaprezentowane na największej w historii wystawie firmy, poznamy podczas oficjalnego otwarcia targów CES 2026 w Las Vegas.

I filed my last copy for this week at 10 p.m. Friday, and then it was a delight to have Saturday be my first legit work-free day since… um, Jan. 1.
1/16/2024: Don’t Engage: ‘Pig Butchering’ Scams Start With a Text, End in Financial Ruin, PCMag
One reason I couldn’t unplug from work last Sunday: I had to watch my friend Sean Gallagher’s very good walkthrough of pig-butchering scams at the ShmooCon information-security conference in D.C. I did, however, opt to watch the livestream of his talk that morning instead of heading over to the Washington Hilton for the third day in a row.
1/17/2024: NextGen TV Airwave Upgrade Flies Under the Radar at CES, PCMag
This CES recap ran several days after the show ended because I needed to verify some Consumer Technology Association forecasts of sales of NextGen-equipped TV sets. And because I needed some uninterrupted time to finish writing the thing.
1/19/2024: Biden Admin OKs $150 Million in Grants to Fix Broken Public EV Chargers, PCMag
I spent Thursday afternoon at the Washington Auto Show’s public-policy day and came away with this update on the Biden administration’s latest efforts to ease electric-car adoption, in which I also noted how the White House’s plan to underwrite a nationwide network of fast chargers on highways has yet to yield much usable hardware. I ended the post by calling out ignorant remarks by two Republican congressmen on a panel that afternoon in which they characterized EVs as some sort of big-government plot.
1/19/2024: Ep 96 SmartTechCheck Podcast CES 2024 Recap, Mark Vena
I joined my industry-analyst friend’s podcast to compare notes about CES with Mark and my fellow tech scribe Stewart Wolpin–who drew on his deep knowledge of the business with a recap of the slow and halting adoption of color TV when our host asked about bumps in the road to EV adoption.

In less than three and a half weeks, I will fly to Las Vegas to cover CES. Because I’ve now done that 25 times, I know that I should have my schedule set by now–and yet I don’t, because I continue to get pitches and invitations for the gadget gathering.
And many of the 61 e-mails I received Thursday alone (going by a search for “CES” in the subject line of messages that aren’t replies to my own correspondence) came from publicists pinging me about possible CES 2024 meetings and happenings for the first time this year. And as long as people keep putting new CES possibilities before me, I have little reason to nail down anything but the broad outlines of my schedule for those four days in Vegas.
(That’s late morning of Jan. 7 through almost midnight of Jan. 11, if any tech publicists are reading this.)
I have little room to talk about other CES types being late with their plans. But the runup period that I’ve taken to calling CES Advent really does need a lid, to steal the political-journalism term for the announcement to reporters from a White House or campaign spokesperson that there’s no more news coming out of their shops for the day.
A set and announced date for everybody to get their pitch out to CES journalists would simplify planning in the same way. Alas, I’ve never seen the Consumer Technology Association call a lid on pre-CES announcements. So instead I’ll just say that close of business Monday is my own lid, and anybody who waits until after then to try to get a bit of my CES time or attention only has themselves to blame for my ignoring their pitch.
But considering that since I started writing this post, I’ve gotten another four CES pitches, that means I’ll probably have another 130 e-mails about the show to deal with by the end of that day. Then I’ll just need a 28-hour day to give me four hours of free time to pore over these solicitations and decide which ones might merit a spot on my to-do or to-look-for lists, if not an actual timeslot on my calendar.

Its #CES week! The #ConsumerElectronicsShow where #NVIDIA, #Intel and all of gods #tech companies under the sun will shill their overpriced and overhyped products.
And like the sheeple we are, we will lap them up faster than Santa quaffs a million brandies.

How to get a CES PR pitch wrong
2018 is only six days old, and I have already received 725 e-mails mentioning “CES” somewhere–and that’s excluding those from colleagues at various clients.
Something about this gargantuan electronics show makes tech-PR types needier and thirstier than at any other time of the year–which, in turn, makes tech-journalism types crankier than at any other time of the year. It’s not a good look for any of us.
With that volume of pitches, any one CES PR e-mail faces dire odds. Those odds get a lot worse if the message gets some basic stuff wrong.
Undisclosed location: Proximity drives scheduling at CES, because the traffic is so awful, so I need to know where an event is at before I decide if it’s worth my time. If you don’t say where your event is at, am I supposed to think it’s at some venue miles from the Strip?
While I’m on the subject, a five-digit booth number is not that much of a help, since that could be anywhere in several square miles of convention-center space.
Unannounced time: More CES pitches than you’d think forget another Invitation 101 thing, telling me when an event is happening. Please remember to put that in the message–by which I mean in the message’s text, so mail clients can detect it and offer to add it to my calendar.
Micromanaged scheduling: The Pepcom and ShowStoppers receptions are an efficient way for smaller companies to get exposure to the press and for journalists to get dinner and a drink or three to numb the pain. I always attend them. (Disclosure: The ShowStoppers people put together my annual trip to the IFA trade show in Berlin.) I don’t mind PR pitches saying that a client will be at one of these events. I really hate requests to book an appointment at them; please don’t waste my time with them.
Breaking the laws of CES physics: Press-conference day and opening day of CES–this time around, Monday and Tuesday–are the two busiest days of the show. Coaxing journalists to some event that isn’t at the primary venue for each day (Mandalay Bay for press conferences, the Las Vegas Convention Center for opening day) is generally a doomed endeavor. PR folks reading this: I wish you good luck in convincing your clients to not try this next year.
Some of these event invitations come with an offer of a free ride to or from the LVCC. On opening day, that car will have to be of the flying variety.
Standard-issue mail #fail. CES is no better than any other time to forget about the BCC line in your e-mail and instead send a pitch to 258 people on the To: line. Somebody did that this time around, and it worked about as well as you’d expect. One recipient took the time to techsplain to the sender how he should check out the BCC option–“I heard it was rolled out at CES 1977”–and of course did so by hitting reply-all himself.
