First look at Lenovo Legion Go S — with SteamOS!
Our very own Tony Polanco went hands-on with the Lenovo Legion Go S, the new handheld gaming PC that’s powered by SteamOS. It boasts a new ergonomic design and strong components, but more importantly, it’s first third-party device to have SteamOS as an option, rather than just the Steam Deck.
There’s still much to learn about the Legion Go S, and we’ll have to wait until May 2025 to check out. In the meantime, the Legion Go S looks like one of 2025’s standout gaming handhelds, and that says a lot as there’s some competition, including the huge Acer Nitro Blaze 11.

Panasonic’s new OLED and Mini-LED TVs
If you thought Panasonic was out of the TV game, think again. The company came roaring back in 2024, and it’s now in a good position for 2025 with the new TVs announced at CES 2025.
Panasonic’s 2025 lineup of displays looks promising. The high-end Z95B OLED TV leads the charge, followed by the W95B Mini-LED TV and the more affordable W70B LED TV rounding out the lineup.
If you want to know more about Panasonic’s lineup of TVs (and you do if you plan to buy a new TV shortly), read our CES coverage, breaking down the specs of the three models.
L’Oreal has a new skin analysis system to determine your skincare routine
L’Oreal teamed up with the Korean company NanoEnTek to make a a machine called the Cell BioPrint.
This device reads information on chips that you put bio tape with samples from your skin in. It then reads that chip and spits out a determination of your skin and suggestions to help improve your skin routine.
It’s not exactly a home-kit but something we might see in commercial or clinical settings down the road.
It sounds Theranos so we checked out L’Oreal Cell BioPrint machine at CES 2025 to see how this partnership works and what it actually does.

Sony surprised at CES with a new XR headset that is built specifically for spatial content creation.
We got to check out the 4K OLED microdisplays and saw how the headset could be used for designing virtual environments.
Even for non-designers like us it was fairly intuitive. Check out our hands-on experience to learn more.
Anker’s new 165W power bank has this one nifty trick
It’s no secret that Anker makes some of the best power banks on the market, and the company did not disappoint at this year’s CES. Meet the new Anker 165W Power Bank, an impressive charger with a 25,000mAh battery capacity and 165W of power, enough to charge an iPhone 14 four times over or a 16-inch MacBook Pro to 50% in just 30 minutes.
But the neatest feature is one you normally wouldn’t even look twice at: the strap. You see, more than just a way to carry it around, the strap is a built-in retractable USB-C cable that spans up to 27.2 inches. While the Anker 165W Power Bank may not be the most powerful charger around, its useful design makes it super handy for keeping your devices topped up on the go.
Eureka unveils a new robovac that’s better at spotting spills
Revealed at CES 2025, Eureka’s J15 Max Ultra has all the makings of the most versatile robot vacuums in years. It uses an advanced system that integrates both infrared vision and an FHD sensor along with AI to better spot spills on the floor. It’s also equipped with a new extendable spinning mop and side brush that can jut out from the robot’s body to better clean baseboards.
Even the smartest robot vacuums have a habit of getting tangled up when sweeping the floor, which is why Eureka equipped with the J15 Max Ultra with a new DragonClaw side brush that has uniquely V-shaped bristles to use centrifugal forces during rotation to actively untangle hair. And it all comes with the same base station as its predecessor that empties its dustbin and cleans its mops automatically.
An entire security suite built into your door
Home security innovations may not be the sexiest thing on display at CES 2025, but this smart lock from Lockly is still one of the coolest gadgets we went hands-on with. The Lockly Styla comes with all sorts of clever tech to make it easier to get in and out of your house and comes in a variety of svelte finishes that’ll make your door the envy of the neighborhood.
It packs a motion sensor, video camera, speaker, a number pad, an RFID reader, and traditional key lock as well as a biometric fingerprint reader tucked away on the underside of the handle. The lock also comes with a Wi-Fi-connected hub, which acts as both a door chime and storage for video captured by the lock’s camera. We’ll have to wait until the Lockly Styla launches in the third quarter of 2025 to see how it stacks up to the best smart locks.
Razer’s new chair will keep you cool or warm you up
Razer introduced a new concept chair dubbed Project Arielle, a mesh gaming chair that features wraparound RGB lightstrips.
The chair itself has an all-mesh design that adds integrated heating and cooling. The heating modes has multiple modes and the cooling fan with three speeds.
Razer claims the cooling mode can reduce the perceived temperature of the person in the chair by 35.6 degrees and heat up to 86 degrees.
We got to try it out at CES 2025. Check out our impressions of this interesting new gaming chair.
A rollable laptop has arrived

Lenovo revealed the world’s first rollable laptop at CES 2025, and it features a 16.7-inch display that rolls out by simply using hand gestures. We knew rollable displays were on almost every tech company’s radar, but it looks like Lenovo will be the first to make it happen.
The screen starts at 14 inches and rolls to 16.7 inches, depending on your needs. And it’s not skimpy on the specs. Lenovo included an Intel Core Ultra 7, up to 32GB DDR5 RAM, up to a 1TB M.2 SSD, Wi-Fi 7 and more.
And this isn’t some theoretical device that could launch sometime in the distant future. Lenovo states it’s set to launch in the first quarter of 2025, with expected pricing starting at $2,999. That means sometime in the next two or three months, people can buy this incredibly innovative laptop.
For more, check out our own Mark Spoonauer’s hands-on impressions of the Lenovo rollable laptop.
Perhaps the coolest gadget at CES 2025
It feels strange to be talking about cooling things down in January, but that’s exactly what Anker has been doing at CES this year. The company may be known for its charging solutions, but it’s also unveiled an electric cooler designed to keep your drinks fresh during a day at the beach.
Anker’s SOLIX EverFrost Electric Cooler will come in three sizes: 23L, 40L, and a whopping 58L. As you’d expect from a battery company, there’s some impressive tech powering it. The cooler uses detachable 288Wh LFP batteries that can be swapped out to keep it running continuously. With one battery you’ll get 52 hours with one charge and you can expect double that if you use both. Drinks are on us!
The Ballie AI robot is real

The Ballie robot has been a Samsung concept for years now, but CES 2025 confirms it’ll finally be coming as a real product later this year.
The little ball has undergone a redesign and now benefits from an infusion of AI that’ll help it respond more accurately to voice commands.
We don’t know how much Ballie will actually cost when it does arrive but I’m hopeful we’ll have one rolling around TG Towers before too long.
Meet the chip powering the next generation of gaming handhelds
AMD has unveiled its Ryzen Z2 line, the latest-and-greatest silicon to power the nex generation of PC gaming handhelds. For 2025, Ryzen Z2 has three different versions, each geared toward a different audience and improves graphical fidelity while drastically enhancing battery life.
Even more exciting, AMD confirmed during its presentation that it’s working with Valve on hardware, which means we could see these chips make their way into the Steam Deck 2.
The weird side of CES 2025
Watch On
Our Managing Editor, Kate Kozuch, joined the popular YouTube channel Cheddar to discuss some of the interesting health gadgets they’ve seen at CES 2025. And there are some weird ones, to say the least.
Perhaps this smart electric spoon is taking the cake for the health category’s weirdest (while still being useful) product. It makes food taste saltier, so you can eat healthier food that tastes how you like it. Check out Kate’s rundown of using it in our Kirin Electric Salt Spoon hands-on.
Intel’s brand new Core Ultra chips just landed
Intel has just announced three brand new additions to its Core Ultra family at CES 2025. Now we have the 200U for budget PCs, the 200HX for high-end gaming systems and the 200H — which is supposed to sit somewhere between the two.
You can check out the full specs for every card that’s on the way here. But the simple matter is we’re looking at better performance and power efficiency, alongside improvements to neural processing (for AI) alongside better controls (and less antagonism with Windows 11) for gamers.
EXCLUSIVE: I was the first to see Hisense’s 136-inch ‘consumer-ready’ MicroLED TV
Watch On
It’s been a busy day of TV news, but we’re excited to be the first to tell you about the Hisense 136MX MicroLED TV. I traveled to Hisense’s HQ in Qingdao, China last year to check it out ahead of CES, and the dazzling display definitely caught my attention. MicroLED is still very niche, but Hisense planting it’s flag in the space might help drive prices down and make the technology more mainstream in the years to come. Make sure you check it out in the YouTube video above, and stay tuned for more announcements on the Hisense front from CES 2025. — Kate Kozuch
Do you miss Guitar Hero? LiberLive’s got you covered!
I’ve played guitar since I was 12 years old, and loved Guitar Hero ever since too. However, I can freely admit that Guitar Hero ended up being a bit of a flash in the pan.
However, LiberLive C1 doesn’t just keep that trend going, it is a foldable and portable live music party all in one dynamic instrument.
The first-ever stringless smart guitar has all the chords up its neck, a huge speaker system including a 3-inch woofer, and a 6-hour battery life to play to your heart’s content. Plus, it can interact with your phone to create playable rhythm games to your favorite songs. — Jason England
WowMouse is the missing piece in spatial computing
You know me, and you’ve already read about how I think spatial computing needs a lot more time in the oven. One of the main obstacles is around the hardware — making it small enough on your face to be a pair of glasses while giving you that spatial gesture-based interaction.
Meta Orion does this with a wrist strap that can detect gestures, and WowMouse just replicated it using your smartwatch. Previously, it was just for Android, but at CES, the company announced it’s not available on iOS, Windows and Mac too. Just connect it and you can move your hand around as the on-screen cursor and pinch to click on things.
It’s cool in practice! But of course it feels a little gimmicky in use on a phone or laptop. The real future of this will be when spatial computing becomes more of a thing. Maybe they can talk to Xreal to get the ball rolling? — Jason England
Want to go really big? Go Laser TV
We love OLED and QLED TVs, but if you want the biggest possible picture you’ve got to check out the Hisense L9Q. This laser projector will be available alongside five differently sized Ambient Light Rejection (ALR) screens: 100, 110, 120, 136 and 150 inches.
You also get a very impressive 5,000 lumens of brightness, and the L9Q has a built in 6.2.2 surround sound system that supports Dolby Atmos for a truly immersive home theater experience. — Mark Spoonauer
Smart glasses may finally have their year

Hey, it’s Kate Kozuch here! The hype around smart glasses at CES 2025 is off to a strong start. Although the Chamelo Aura color-changing tinted frames I showed off in the TikTok above have been out for a few months, they recieved a CES 2025 honoree recognition, and I understand the hype. With the press of a button, the tint changes between four total colors and they last for weeks on one charge. There’s going to be no shortage of smart glasses/wearable announcements this week, so be sure to stay tuned.
(Also, shamless plug, be sure you’re following Tom’s Guide on TikTok so you don’t miss any of our highlights from the show!) — Kate Kozuch
Welcome to Day One of CES (officially)!
You’d be a little shocked hearing that, given how much news has already happened. But today is officially the first day of CES, and we have a lot more news to cover. There’s normally a couple of press days like what you’ve seen us cover, but today is when CES is officially open to everyone!
To kick things off, let’s review what is easily going to be the biggest news of the entire show — Nvidia launching the new RTX 50-series graphics cards. You’ve got RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti and 5070 in both desktop and laptop flavors and the performance increases are insane!
As Jensen himself said, you’re getting “the power of an RTX 4090 in the 5070,” and at a starting price of $549, this card just got impressively affordable. We also heard a lot about how AI is core to everything Nvidia does — touching on all kinds from AI enhanced graphical imagery with DLSS 4 and neural rendering capabilities to how GPUs can impact Agentic and even robotic AI.
Once these start to launch a little later this year, you best believe we’ll be fully testing them to see if these live up to Huang’s hype.
