As the upcoming Consumer Electronic Show at Las Vegas gains traction, reports confirm that a slew of laptops will inundate the conference. Most of the launches were due at the end of 2010 but the delay can be attributed to the delay in the launch of Android version Honeycomb, which is touted to be more suited for tablets.
