Live from Intel's CES 2017 press conference!
It's been a pretty big year for Intel, what with its new CPUs, its investment in self-driving cars and its ever-increasing focus on the internet of things. And how could we forget that all-in-one VR headset? At CES 2017, we'll expect to see Intel address these topics and more. So check back here at 4PM Pacific/7PM Eastern to check out our liveblog and see what Intel has up its sleeve for 2017.

It's no secret that Samsung didn't have the best 2016, so you know the company is ready to start the new year on a high note.

We're liveblogging Apple's 'Hello Again' MacBook launch!
Hello again, indeed! If it feels like we were just doing this, it's because... we were. Apple held an event last month to unveil the iPhone 7 and Apple Watch Series 2. There was much fanfare and we had quite a bit to say about it all. Now, just a few weeks later, Apple is back, hosting yet another event, with this one rumored to be all about MacBooks. Rumors point to refreshed 13- and 15-inch models, obviously with newer chips inside, and very likely some smaller ports along the edges. We'll also be curious to see if the long-neglected MacBook Air line gets some love, or if it gets the axe. (Or, it could die a long, slow death, the way the iPod Classic did.) One thing you probably won't hear about at this event: those rumored MacBooks with E Ink keyboards. If those are even real, they're not expected until at least 2018. With those expectations set, get comfy and hunker down as we give you the blow-by-blow on today's keynote. (And stay tuned afterward for our first impressions of the new devices, once we get to see them in person.)
Live from Microsoft's Surface 2016 event!
After surprising us with the Surface Book last year, what could Microsoft have in store next for its flagship PC lineup? We'll find out today during its Surface media event in NYC. As we explained in our preview, rumors currently point to an all-in-one PC that can be converted into a large tablet. It could be something like a cross between the iMac and the Surface Hub. We might also catch a glimpse at Microsoft's Amazon Echo and Google Home competitor, the "Home Hub," and hear more about how Windows 10 will evolve.
We're live from the #MadeByGoogle launch event!
Not-so-cryptic teasers, seemingly ironclad leaks and a truly surprising advertising push have all led to this. Buckle up, folks: today might be a turning point for Google as an honest-to-goodness hardware company, and we're bringing you all the news live from the company launch event in San Francisco.
Live from Sony's PlayStation 4 Pro event
Apple isn't the only big tech company making headlines today: Sony is also set to divulge its next console plans at its PlayStation event in NYC. While the company hasn't revealed any specifics yet, we're expecting to get a look at the PlayStation 4 Neo, its faster, 4K-ready PS4 follow-up. And of course, the thinner PS4 Slim will likely make an appearance as well, after being unceremoniously leaked over the past few weeks.
Live from Apple's iPhone 7 launch!
It's September and Apple is hosting an event. That can only mean one thing: New iPhones are afoot. You may have heard that the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are rumored to ditch the headphone jack, but we're also hearing talk of larger (maybe even dual) cameras, a pressure-sensitive home button, increased base storage and possible new color options. Even if the no-headphone-jack thing ends up feeling unsurprising, though, we'll still be curious to hear how Apple justifies the move to would-be buyers, who are likely pretty set in their ways.
Live from Samsung's IFA 2016 press conference!
Samsung's already announced the Note 7, so there's clearly nothing else for the company to reveal, right? Nope, since the Korean conglomerate is here at IFA with a glitzy pre-show press conference that's got something to do with time. Given that it was around this period last year that the firm unveiled the Gear S2, it's reasonable to assume a follow-up is coming. If you're curious for what's ahead, join us here live at 12:00pm ET and we'll take you by the hand and lead you through the quagmire. We're live all week from Berlin, Germany, for IFA 2016. Click here to catch up on all the news from the show.
We're live from Samsung's 2016 Unpacked event in New York!
Samsung is holding its annual Unpacked event in New York City today, and we're here ready to bring you all the news as it happens. As is often the case with its summer Unpacked events, we're highly likely to see the new Galaxy Note 7 this morning (yup, Samsung is skipping right over "6" in its naming scheme). There have also been rumors of refreshed VR hardware, and the company may have other surprises up its sleeve today. For all the news as it happens, stay tuned in right here -- we'll keep you updated on everything Samsung has to show us today.
Live from Sony's PlayStation showcase at E3!
Sony is set to unveil the latest games and hardware updates for the PlayStation 4 tonight, and we're on the ground at the big show. Rumor has it that the pièce de résistance is a new PS4 model with 4K output and all-around upgraded guts. Join us live from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles starting at 9 p.m. EDT/6 p.m. PDT -- and make sure to bring your own popcorn, because Sony is known for mic-drop moments.
Live from WWDC 2016!
Hello from lovely San Francisco, California! We're reporting live today from the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, where Apple is hosting its annual WWDC keynote. As you'd expect from any developers conference, today's presentation will focus almost entirely on software, with sneak peeks of iOS 10 and OS X 10.12 being the obvious shoo-ins. We've also heard tell of an Apple Music revamp, and it's entirely possible too that we'll hear news about watchOS and tvOS.
Live from Microsoft's Xbox showcase at E3 2016!
We're live at Microsoft's Xbox keynote at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, California, ready to kick off this year's E3 conference. Microsoft is poised to reveal new Xbox hardware during today's showcase, furthering its efforts to make PC and console gaming a unified, seamless experience. The Xbox event begins at 9:30 AM PT / 12:30 PM ET and we'll share all of the news right here, right as it's announced. We'll probably make some corny jokes, too. You're welcome in advance.
We're live from Lenovo and Motorola's joint phone unveiling!
Well, this is new: Lenovo and Motorola have had US launches before, but this year they've basically transplanted their entire Tech World event right into the heart of San Francisco. The festivities (if that's the right word) will begin at 10AM Pacific/1PM Eastern and we'll be covering all the day's news as it breaks, so stay tuned. Expect to get your first look at Lenovo's first Project Tango phone very shortly, and if we're lucky, maybe Motorola's new flagship phone will finally break cover too. Not a bad way to spend a Thurday morning/early afternoon, right?
Hulu will offer live TV in early 2017
That talk of Hulu getting into live TV? It's real. Company chief Mike Hopkins has announced that you'll see live entertainment, sports and news on the streaming service in early 2017. He didn't say which networks were involved or what it might cost, but the Wall Street Journal leak had suggested that at least Disney and Fox (including channels like ESPN and FX) were signing on. You'll hear more about Hulu's plans over the course of this year, Hopkins says.
Live from Microsoft's Build 2016 keynote!
It's time once again for Build, Microsoft's annual developer conference, where the company lays out its plan for the year ahead. Since Windows 10 is already out there in the wild -- where it's enjoying quite a bit of popularity -- we don't expect too big of an update on the OS front. Still, we'll probably see a few additional features; perhaps richer Live Tiles, greater Cortana integration and even more of those universal apps (Skype, anyone?). It seems especially likely that we'll hear more about how Windows 10 apps will work on the Xbox One. On top of that, we're expecting more Office and productivity suite news and fingers crossed that we'll get an update on Windows Phone too. Last, but certainly not least, we'll definitely get to see more of HoloLens, Microsoft's AR headset that's set to head out to developers later this week. To get the full rundown of what will be announced at the keynote, tune in to our liveblog right here at 11:30 am ET / 8:30 am PT.
We're live from Apple's 'Loop You In' event!
Nothing brightens up a dreary March day like the promise of some shiny new hardware, and Apple should have us covered there. Tune in at 1PM ET/10AM PT for some sweet liveblog action from Apple's "Loop You In" event in Cupertino, and be sure to stick around for some hands-on impressions as soon as the presentation winds down. Need a quick refresher? We expect to see a smaller iPhone and a more compact iPad Pro this morning, not to mention a series of software updates that span across Apple's hardware line-up. Our fingers are also crossed for some mention of a new Apple Watch and more juicy tidbits about Apple's ongoing fight with the FBI, but we'll just have to wait and see. Join us, won't you?
