More from CES 2026 live: all the news, announcements, and innovations from the show floor and beyond
Something has gone horribly wrong when your portable battery has a screensaver.
The Australian company is back with a colorful new range of 15-inch portable monitors powered by a single USB-C cable. The $249 entry-level Lite models feature a 1080p display packed into a 1.55-pound (700g) plastic and glass slab. It comes bundled with a versatile magnetic folding stand and pulls just 5W at 400 nits of peak brightness.
I loved Espresso Displays’ Pro monitor that I recently reviewed, but its products are much more expensive than generic brands offering similar specs.
The 2026 Vivobook S14, S15, and S16, announced today at CES, pair a familiar design with new processors, including the Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite, along with updated Intel Core Ultra Series 2 and AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series options.
According to Asus, the Snapdragon-powered S16 boasts 25 hours of battery life.
The original version that debuted at CES 2025 had an E Ink Spectra 6 screen that maxed out at 31.5 inches. A larger 40.5-inch version will debut this year, along with a version featuring a sculpted frame created by Pininfarina that also includes exclusive design sketches from the Italian design house’s archives.
I covered Peri — a wearable meant to help people track and manage perimenopause — at last year’s CES. So many health tech gadgets at the show never end up making it to consumers, but good news: You can actually order this one now.
Who needs humanoid robots when your vacuum can sprout legs?
Launching in 1TB ($219) and 2TB ($339) capacities in early 2026, the SSD-01 offers 2,000MB/s read and 1,800MB/s write speeds, unlocking ProRes RAW and Open Gate recording on supported iPhones. It includes a pop-up USB-C connector plus two extra USB-C ports for power and attaching accessories like mics to your phone while recording.
The Verge’s Dominic Preston got a look at a static prototype of the phone this week, but unlike Boston Dynamics’ Spot robots, the phone’s fancy camera didn’t move. In case you missed the announcement for the Robot Phone and its gimbal camera (which is apparently intelligent), check out this video for a recap of what we know so far.
You’ll soon be able to browse through third-party integrations that can add more features to your camera. Meld, for example, uses your Ring camera to analyze your dog’s behavior and alert you to anything concerning, while PoolScout can send real-time notifications before an unattended toddler or pet reaches your pool.
Ring says the new store will be available within its app in the “coming weeks.”
