IFA 2019 It was press day one at the annual consumer electronics megafest, IFA, in Berlin, when PC vendors Acer and Asus unveiled their latest hardware, from impossibly light and fast laptops to heavyweight monsters.

The way it works at IFA is that two press days run ahead of the main event itself, which is Europe's largest consumer electronics show. Acer traditionally grabs the first spot, and suppliers such as Intel, Microsoft and Nvidia turn up to praise the latest products. Then the press – including The Reg – dashes across the German capital to the Asus event, where often those same suppliers turn up again, being careful to enunciate "Asus" rather than "Acer" as they repeat much the same speech (mistakes have been known, but not this year).
