More from CES 2025: all the news, gadgets, and surprises
The doors are officially open on CES 2025. We’re here at the Central Hall as the crowds stream into the LG booth.

A real expanding screen straight out of science fiction! Antonio, Andrew and I couldn’t stop grinning, particularly as Lenovo encouraged us to just use the $3500 ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 instead of treating it like some fragile prototype.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a tad awkward because Windows doesn’t officially support expanding screens, but an invisible multimonitor hack seems to work. Get on it, Microsoft!
Asus didn’t announce any huge changes for these beloved laptops at CES, with the new Zenbook Duo just being bumped to a series 2 Intel Core Ultra 9 processor.
Meanwhile, the ROG Zephyrus G14 and Zephyrus G16 gaming laptops are being refreshed with AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Intel Core Ultra 9 285H CPUs, respectively, alongside Nvidia 50-series graphics.
Physically, and on paper, I would pick this one over the original Legion Go in a heartbeat. It feels so much better — and it’s the first third-party handheld with SteamOS, which vastly improves that feel.
Sorry I couldn’t provide any performance or battery impressions, though: this unit has an old Z1 Extreme chip inside, no intensive games on display, not even a Portal 2 savegame.
Here’s our first look at the “production-intent” Pebble Flow all-electric trailer. It can be moved into position by remote control thanks to a dual-motor system that can eliminate range-sapping drag when pulled by EVs. It features a massive 45kWh house battery and 1.1kW of rooftop solar to keep everything running for days. It starts at $109,500 with first deliveries available in the spring.
iDrive uses 3D graphics and augmented reality to keep your eyes on the road.
They include 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 OntheGo folding chargers that feature a 15-watt Qi2 magnetic charging pad and an Apple Watch pad with 5-watt output to AirPods. The 3-in-1 supports Apple Watch fast charging.
Satechi also announced a set of magnetic Qi2 power banks reminiscent of Anker MagGo chargers like this one. Satechi says it’s all coming in the second quarter, with prices ranging from $69.99 to $99.99.
That’s how much more the OnePlus 13 costs compared to the 12 — it’s $899, up from $799. It goes on sale today in the US. The OnePlus 13R is up for preorder now, too, with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, a 6,000mAh battery, and an updated 50-megapixel main camera. It’s $599, which is also 100 bucks more than last year’s model.

This cute little guy is all over LG’s CES booth, winking at people and offering them popcorn.
The LG On-Device AI Hub (great name) is a smart speaker with a 4-inch screen, built-in camera, and microphone. Designed to be a satellite to the ThinQ ON home hub, LG says it’s a concept product, so there’s no price or release date.
Similar to the Dockcase Smart Magsafe SSD, SanDisk’s new Creator Phone SSD sticks to the back of your phone using magnets while connecting with a short USB-C cable. It offers read speeds up to 1,000MB/s and write speeds up to 950MB/s, which is fast enough to unlock ProRes 4K recording at 60fps on the iPhone 15 and 16.
The Legion Go S is the immediate successor to the Legion Go handheld, minus the detachable gamepads / mouse / kickstand and plus a SteamOS option. But a Legion Go 2 is coming sometime in 2025, Lenovo has announced.
Specs include Ryzen Z2 Extreme, an 8.8-inch 144Hz OLED screen with VRR (!), and a big 74Wh battery. This one didn’t turn on, but the grips are definitely comfier!
The second-gen Lenovo Legion Glasses pull the same magic trick as the original — putting a 1.26-inch full HD MicroOLED USB-C display in front of your eyeballs — but with a stylish new prescription-ready aviator frame that’s lighter at 65 grams.
The display now supports up to a 120Hz refresh rate, a 98 percent DCI-P3 color gamut, and is significantly brighter at 800 nits (up from 270 nits).
The new 16-inch Legion Pro 7i, announced at CES, features Nvidia 50-series GPUs and up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX. It will start at $2,399 when it launches in March.
There’s a lot of intriguing new gaming laptops in this range, but not all of them offer a 2560 x 1600 240Hz OLED in all configurations.
