9 Completely Useless Gadgets from CES 2013

Panasonic 4K tablet

A great idea that just wasn't ready for prime time. The massive 20-inch, 4K screen on this tablet "would make it perfect for architects, designers, and other folks who could really benefit from the extra detail and screen space," writes Babb at InfoWorld. But testers complained about lag time even when doing basic tasks. In any case, it'll likely be a while before this kind of tablet makes it to your desk. As Sascha Segan notes at PC Mag, "Panasonic's 4K tablet is an awesome proof of concept, but it has some usability issues and will likely carry a very high price tag—two things that suggest that it's going to take a generation or two before anything like it comes to mainstream businesses and consumers.
