Need a hand in the kitchen? The Smartchef is designed to assist and entertain cooking enthusiasts. The PC provides recipes and cooking advice through its free-standing touch-controlled tablet. The tablet is also built to connect with other devices in the kitchen, the designers say, and entertain the cook with music and video. The other main piece of the PC is the "smart cutting board." Food placed on this surface can be weighed, analyzed for nutritional information, and screened for toxins or spoilage.
