This biometric smart lock features wireless optical charging technology, eliminating the need to replace or recharge batteries altogether. Called AuraCharge technology, the V7 Max receives power from an optical output device plugged in within four meters' distance to wirelessly recharge its internal battery. Power is sent from within the house using an eye-safe controlled light beam that reaches the lock's receiver, which is then converted into electricity to recharge and power the smart lock.

New OLED gaming monitors from top companies coming out this year should look clearer and crisper. LG Display and Samsung Display, which typically provide the actual panels used in gaming monitors, are finally lining up the colors of their subpixels in vertical RGB stripes - remember when we used to worry about Pentile OLED displays? - which means, among other improvements, the panels should have easier-to-read text.

Before you do any of those things, your top three priorities should be migrating your apps and files to your new device, expunging your personal data from the old PC, and resetting the operating system on the device you plan to recycle, so the new owner can be productive right away. As with all things Windows, there are multiple ways to accomplish these goals.

Narwal's mattress vacuum cleaner not only sucks up all that ick, it heats up to 137 degrees and shines a UV light for sterilization. Then it uses high-speed tapping to dislodge what's living in your bed before sucking it up with 16.000 Pa of suction power. The dust bag seals itself so all the bad stuff stays put before you throw it away.

There's a good chance you spend more time talking to your phone's virtual assistant, or dictating text with your voice, instead of actually calling people these days. But, as convenient as voice input can be, you don't want to be the obnoxious person shouting commands to Siri in a quiet library. And you probably won't have much luck dictating an email in a room with toddlers screaming and Peppa Pig blaring on the TV. (Ask me how I know.)

Shure's original MV88 microphone (no, not the + version) was a convenient snap-on option for iPhone users. Since Apple ditched the port for USB-C, the audio accessory became obsolete for newer handsets. At CES 2026, the company debuted a revised version of the mic, swapping the Lightning connection for USB-C, which also adds compatibility for Android users and a host of other devices. The best part is the updated MV88 is available now, and it's priced at $159.

Instead of relying on a physical boundary wire or just an RTK antenna, the Tri-Fusion system combines three technologies to maintain its position as it mows your lawn: LiDAR, NetRTK, and AI for visual recognition. The robot captures a large LiDAR field of full 360 degrees horizontally and 59 degrees vertically, with a range of up to 330 feet. This generates a live 3D map composed of millions of data points, ensuring the robot detects obstacles within one centimeter and adjusts its course accordingly.

The Mui Board is, as far as smart home controllers go, soothing and nondescript. There's no bright HD screen, or even anything obviously technological. It's a smooth piece of wood that gently glows when you interact with it. So it makes sense that Mui Lab would suggest it as an excellent option for the bedroom. And, if you're gonna have this weird connected bar hanging near your bed, it might be nice if it could also track your sleep.

I went hands-on with the TrackPad Pro earlier this year and found it to fill a gap in the market as a premium, highly customizable trackpad for Windows, targeting creatives, programmers, or everyday users who prefer using gestures on either a laptop or desktop. The result is a device that lacks distinct parallels on the market, particularly at this level of hardware. It features a 240Hz report rate for mouse-level accuracy, powered by multiple layers of click haptics.

Google goes on to explain that you will receive emails at both your old and new address and that data related to your old address, like photos, messages, and emails, will not be affected. You will be able to sign in to Google services like Gmail, Maps, Drive, and YouTube with your old or new email address, and you can reuse your old email address at any time.

The ROG Xbox Ally X is the newest handheld gaming device from Asus, and the third of its kind from the company in as many years. The Xbox Ally X, along with the cheaper Xbox Ally, is made in collaboration with Microsoft's Xbox division, and features a unique design that mirrors Xbox controllers, as well as ships with a lightly modified version of Windows 11.

CLOiD isn't the first laundry-folding robot we've seen, it's not even the only one at CES this year - SwitchBot's Onero H1 will also be able to tackle your hamper. LG's does seem particularly impressive, at least on paper. While the Onero looks like someone stuck some arms on Stop & Shop's Marty, CLOiD has two fully articulated arms with seven degrees of motion mounted on a torso that can tilt and bend.

The hybrid controller features a miniature direct-drive steering wheel positioned in the center, delivering force feedback and 1080-degree rotation for immersive racing game action. Designer: Gamesir For racing sim fans, the quandary has always been to either choose a portable setup, or go for more detailed but bulky setups. This gamepad hits the sweet spot for casual gamers like me who always wanted something that's compact.

There's an adjustable 25W Qi2.2 pad atop Belkin's dock for charging compatible smartphones that folds flat, and beneath it you'll find a smaller pad for charging wireless earbuds. On the back of the dock is a pop-out support where a smartwatch charging puck can be installed using an included collection of spacers to ensure they fit. Smartwatches from Samsung are supported, as are the first- and second-gen Google Pixel watches and the Apple Watch.

We are seeing that there is a huge move towards voice as a new interface that a lot of folks are adopting. You can do much more with voice in a natural way than with a keyboard. However, we saw that voice is rarely an interface people use when others are around. So that using our noise isolation model, we will give consumers a way to experience a voice interface in the form of our earbuds,

Govee describes the new Ceiling Light Ultra as "the industry's first ceiling light designed as a true creative canvas." It uses 616 individually controlled LEDs (the highest in its class, according to Govee) to provide that level of detail. Using the Govee app, you can design visuals for it "with up to eight distinct layers of motion, color and shapes."

There's something oddly nostalgic about Caligra's c100 Developer Terminal, yet it feels completely modern at the same time. At first glance, it looks like someone took a pristine keyboard from the early computing era, polished it up, and reimagined it for 2026. But this isn't just a keyboard. It's an entire computer, cleverly disguised as the thing you type on.

1. A ring light so you can take all your important meetings looking like your brightest, best self and not like you work in a dark cave. It's got three different light modes, 10 brightness levels, and easily attaches to your computer or phone.

The ConnectAir lets you cast from any USB-C device to any screen. It's a compact, plug-and-play device with no need for an app, driver, or Wi-Fi. Simply plug the USB-C transmitter into your laptop, tablet, or phone, and plug the HDMI receiver into your TV, monitor, or projector screen to start sharing. The HDMI receiver simply requires access to a USB-A port for power.

I've been a food and travel journalist for several decades, and solo traveling is a big part of the job. Whether going cross-country to attend a restaurant opening or taking a transatlantic flight to visit a vineyard, I spend a lot of time by myself in hotels and on airplanes. As a female solo traveler who is constantly having fascinating new experiences and learning so much about people, places, and ingredients,

Jackery, the home battery company, is back at CES with a solar-powered Gazebo it swears you'll be able to buy in the second half of the year, starting in California. With an expected price of between $12,000 and $15,000 before adding any battery storage, you might want to save a few bucks and build one yourself from solar panels and power stations that Jackery, and many others, will happily sell you.

The Samsung HW-Q990F is the system to get if you want everything you need for an immersive surround sound setup right out of the box. The package includes the main soundbar, featuring 15 drivers, two wireless rear speakers with three drivers each, and a subwoofer equipped with dual 8-inch drivers. That adds up to a true 11.1.4 channel configuration, which is about as immersive as soundbar systems get.

Durable all-weather build: IP65-rated housing, level 9 seismic resistance, and 1-meter drop protection keep power available in dust, rain, and rough conditions. High output for demanding devices: A 1536Wh LiFePO4 battery with 1800W AC output and 3600W surge runs most home appliances, DIY tools, and pumps with ease. Long life and smart protection: Over 4,000 cycles to 70 percent capacity, ChargeShield 2.0, and a 5-year warranty support long-term, safe use.

The self-inflating Therm-a-Rest lumbar pillow that takes up almost no space in your carry-on and saves you from an achey, sore back after spending hours up in the air. One pilot called it a "lifesaver" for long-haul flights, while other frequent fliers claim to use theirs every single day, regardless of their travel plans-and you can buy their favorite travel hack on Amazon for under $50.

T-Mobile is now running an offer where you can get your ludicrously capacious . All you have to do is trade in a phone in any condition on T-Mobile's Experience Beyond or Go5G Next plan, and you'll receive the phone in return. That's right. You can turn in a broken, eligible smartphone and get a new Galaxy S25 for free.

Pebble Round 2 is that second chance, part of the broader Pebble relaunch. It keeps the same ultra-slim stainless-steel profile, just 8.1 mm thick, but fixes the two big complaints: the bezel is gone, and the battery now lasts around two weeks. It is framed as the most stylish Pebble ever, but this time without the asterisk or the mental math about whether style was worth the compromises.

History's geniuses tend to be a little quirky, and for a good reason: You can't create something innovative if you're constantly thinking inside the box. The same goes for products. Oftentimes, it's the weird stuff that ends up solving problems you didn't know could be fixed. These kooky things are selling out on Amazon because they're pure genius - and once you've tried them yourself, you'll wonder how you ever lived without them.

Built between 1949 and 1997, these vintage toasters come highly recommended and are known by their advertising slogan, "Automatic Beyond Belief." With so many popular toaster brands to consider, it's worth understanding why an older style can be a better choice. One Reddit user confidently proclaimed that Sunbeam Radiant Control Toasters are the "best toasters ever made, hands down." The user also suggests asking relatives from previous generations to source a hand-me-down gift.

As a nature lover, I enjoy spending my free time outdoors. Three seasons are easy to maneuver in the great outdoors-and then there's winter. During the year's last few months, I rely on heated clothing to ensure I stay comfortable while camping, hiking, and horseback riding during the cold "burr" months of January and February. Heated clothes are typically controlled by easy-to-use phone apps that let you dial up the heat with a button; they can even provide more warmth than traditional winter clothes like wool socks and beanies.

The Freestyle+ also brings features like 3D Auto Keystone, which automatically corrects distortion when projecting onto uneven surfaces like corners, curtains or angled walls; real-time focus, which continuously adjusts focus as the projector moves or rotates; screen fit, which automatically adjusts the image to match the screen area (when you're using it with a compatible projector screen accessory); and wall calibration, which analyzes the color or pattern of the projection surface and minimizes visual distractions.
