CES

The Intel Lunar Lake handheld, on sale now, looks and feels SO much better than the original, and I hear it performs far better, too.

Today at CES, NBCUniversal announced that Peacock is adding a curated selection of vertical video clip playlists and games to its iOS and Android apps to “drive even deeper fan engagement around its most popular titles.”

Lenovo sent Dave2D an entire pre-production unit of the soon-to-be Steam-ified Legion Go S, complete with its Lenovo-exclusive AMD Z2 Go chip, so he’s got the best look yet. You can see its full-length SSD slot here (with spacer for smaller drives) for easy upgrades.

This is Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s introduction of Project Digits, a GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip-powered system with 128GB of RAM that costs about $3,000 and can run sophisticated AI models in a package small enough to sit on your desk.

I just walked past not one but TWO karaoke parties in the LVCC central hall. The Sansui booth had a boxing ring, a punching bag, and booth babes encouraging everyone to punch out their stress, get up onstage SOBER, and sing in front of everyone.

TCL welcomes you to its booth with a giant robot featuring, naturally, TCL screens. But just behind it is the much smaller Ai Me, an AI companion robot concept. It’s not totally clear what it does, but it’s awfully cute and definitely more cuddly than the big robot.

This is the Asus Zenbook A14, it weighs just 2.18 pounds, and while that doesn’t make it the lightest laptop ever, this 14-inch machine is lighter than the old 11-inch MacBook Air! More in Antonio’s full story. Both of us agree three fingers is the right quantity.

Ring has a giant video doorbell at its booth outside the LVCC at CES.

Is the future of charging our phones a world where we just don’t charge them at all?

Often at events like CES, companies will showcase a timeline of their past innovations and memorable products. This vintage microwave is what caught my eye at Panasonic’s booth. No AI gimmicks. No screens. Just good colors, buttons, and four clicky dials.

The company behind Reolink is launching the Camovue Talon Pro Trail Cam sometime before the end of March. It can identify 12 animal species — including wild boar, deer (bucks and does), mountain lions, elk, ducks, weasels, cattle, goats, turkeys, raccoons, and foxes — and send alerts over 4G. It’ll last for two months on 10 AA batteries or much longer when paired with a rechargeable battery pack and solar panel.

The smart security camera company debuted the latest addition to its 16MP lineup at CES. As the name implies, the Duo 3 WiFi works over Wi-Fi and stitches together video from two cameras to create a 180-degree panoramic view with color night vision, motion tracking, and people, vehicle, and animal detection.

John Deere has its autonomous vehicles on display here. They are, and I cannot emphasize this enough, big. Or at least this dump truck and tractor are. Is there interesting tech on board? Yep. But I’m not gonna lie, I’m here to take pictures of the big tractors because they are big and cool as hell.

In addition to magnetic SSDs that piggyback on your phone, at CES 2025 SanDisk announced new Fortnite-themed storage solutions including a bright yellow Peely Edition portable SSD and USB-A flash drive. They’re both available for preorder now in several capacities and are expected to ship in the next couple of weeks.

If you missed it last night, here’s the moment we found out the pricing for both trim levels of Sony / Honda’s Afeela 1 EV: $89,900 for the Afeela 1 Origin and $102,900 for the Afeela 1 Signature.

We are descending on the LVCC from all directions and trading the gorgeous Nevada sunshine for the glow of digital screens. There will be robots. Screens that bend. Glasses with screens. And if we’re very lucky, lunch. Stay tuned.

As a journalist, I don’t cheer or clap from my seat at keynotes, and I’m skeptical that each of Nvidia’s four new cards can truly feel twice as fast as the previous gen. But when this happened, my heart went out to all my fellow Small Form Factor (SFF) enthusiasts. Hope we see more two-slots in future!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
