The 2015 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is a melting pot of new technology that is eager to burst open with a lave-like influx of new gadgets right from the first day. In fact, the first day of CES 2015 is usually the busiest one, jam-packed with new announcements, with devices battling for attention.

The main battle this year, however, seems to have transitioned to smartphones and other electronics, as tablets in particular seem to have lost just a little bit of their initial steam. Nonetheless, we have some fairly interesting new announcements: Asus in particular is not holding back anything and it unveiled a trio of new 'Chi' series of tablets: the Asus Transformer Book T90, T100, and T300. With a keyboard, Windows 8.1 on board for maximum productivity, and a Surface-like keyboard-equipped package, those will certainly appeal to heavy typers.

There is a little something from other companies, and we'll be updating this as soon as more new tablets get announced at CES 2015. Take a look at all the new tablets at CES 2015, and stay tuned for more!
