January may be one of the most interesting months for PC hardware fans.
Next week marks the start of CES 2024, one of the most important events this year.

Expect multiple gaming laptop announcements from popular brands such as MSI, Gigabyte, and ASUS, the latter planning a dedicated stream for the occasion called Transcendence, where new ROG monitors are also to be unveiled.
For enthusiasts focused on GPUs, CES 2024 kicks off with NVIDIA’s Special Address on January 8. During this session, NVIDIA will formally present the RTX 40 SUPER series, consisting of three SKUs: RTX 4080 SUPER, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and RTX 4070 SUPER.
