Ultra-thin laptops will take centre-stage alongside new software and smartphones at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES), a gadget extravaganza that officially opens on Tuesday in Las Vegas.
The more than 2,700 exhibitors filling an excess of 1.8 million square feet - approximately 33 US football fields - will range from car, computer and chip makers to technology startups and iPhone accessory sellers.
Attendance at the four-day show was expected to be on par with the 149,000 people who showed up last year to see what sexy gizmos will vie for consumers' hearts and cash in the months ahead.
While tablet computers aspiring to unseat Apple's market-ruling iPads were the rage at last year's CES, slim yet powerful laptop computers referred to as "ultrabooks" are expected to crowd the spotlight next week.
CES organisers on Thursday predicted that 30 to 40 new ultrabook laptops would debut at the show
