Most Innovative New Products From CES 2025: Rollable Laptop, Solar Car, More
Every winter in Las Vegas we get to see a flurry of original, weird and wonderful new technology products, andCES 2025has been no different. CNET experts continue to trawl the show floor of the tradeshow looking for the most impressive tech inventions --AItools, tech for yoursmart home, newTVs, ground-breaking cars, laptops, health techand scads ofrobots.See the bounty of tech goodness we've discovered at this year's CES below. We'll keep updating this curated list of the coolest new stuff that delights, inspires and may soon solve real problems, from our homes to the world beyond.While a good chunk of the mosteye-popping finds of the show are concepts, you can check out the manynew products at CES you can buy now(or soon), or have a chuckle reliving thebizarro things we've seen at CES in the past. Honda Honda 0 series EVs From prototype to production We first saw Honda's 0 ("zero") series last yearas a concept, and this year Honda has shared a closer-to-final version of the sleek line, which goes into production in 2026. It's now running Asimo OS, an operating system named after its Asimo robot of yesteryear.These EVs look like what you'd expect a future car to look like; still with some wedginess to their shapes, and referred to as "gorgeous" by automotive reporter Antuan Goodwin. Honda's Gorgeous 0 Series EVs Begin Production Next Year. Geoffrey Morrison/CNET Xgimi Ascend A roll-up projector screen on the cheap-ish It's not the LG OLED rollable screen of your dreams, but the Ascend may be more within your grasp. It's a retractable, ambient light-rejecting screen with built-in speakers and an ultra short-throw projector that looks like a piece of furniture when the screen withdraws. TV tech guru Geoffrey Morrison has been an ultrashort throw skeptic, but thinks this pair may solve some of the issues he's had with them. There's no pricing yet for the screen (the projector is $2,700), but it's bound to be less than models like the LG. Finally, A Roll-Up Projector Screen of Your Budget TV Dreams. AC Future AC Future AI-THu, AI-THt and AI-THd Tiny homes with big tech When you're ready to go small -- or don't have the budget to go big -- a tiny home can be an appealing alternative, especially when it's luxurious and packed with the latest smart tech. Our favorite of AC Future's designer mini residences is the AI-Thu, a modular build (as small as 400 square feet) packed with smart technology that helps control lighting, heating, cooling and appliances, plus solar panels, a water recycling system, atmospheric water generation and a lot more. Would You Pay $100,000 for a Mini Smart House? We Saw the Details at CES 2025. Antuan Goodwin/CNET Top of mind for every potential EV buyer is how inconvenient charging is -- but the Aptera Solar EV is wrapped in solar panels to recharge while you drive. Forget the cockroach-looking solar-powered cars of yesteryear, as this EV is a svelte three-wheeler with a swooped design that looks like it's about to take off into the sky (that achieves 70% less drag than EV's on the road today). Aptera expects to start producing the $40,000 vehicle later this year, so start planning if a constantly-recharging two-seater EV would fit your lifestyle. I Took a Ride in an EV That Doesn't Need to Plug In. See at Aptera James Martin/CNET Dreame X50 Ultra A robot vacuum with tiny legs to get up ledges or cross door gaps. Roombas and other robot vacuums have been a big hit, but their little wheels can be defeated by the tiniest ledge or threshold between rooms. Enter Dreame's X50 Ultra, which has two short wheeled legs it can deploy to surmount very modest obstacles. No, it won't climb stairs, but we saw it conquer small ledges a couple inches high. This advancement comes at the steep price of $1,699 when it starts shipping in mid-February (preorder it for $390 off). Dreame's Robot Vacuum Won't Be Climbing Stairs, but We Saw It Summit a Small Ledge at CES 2025. Katie Collins/CNET Delta Concierge Delta's AI-powered app aims to reduce travel woes. Delta has a new feature for its phone app, and yes, it's AI-powered.

Like other new AI-powered features, you'll be able to ask questions through text or speech in natural language and have the app respond. Anything that makes travel less painful -- and for free -- is a big help these days. Delta Concierge Will Anticipate Your Every Travel Need Like an AI Trip Butler. Josh Goldman/CNET Lenovo Legion Go S New with added Steam! In addition to a prototype version of the update to its current Legion Go, the company's additions to its Go line of handheld gaming consoles include a couple of brand-new Go S models -- one of which is the first to run SteamOS natively, in addition to the Windows version. Yes, that's right: A Steam Deck alternative! Both models have identical hardware, and the Go S has a more traditional design compared with its somewhat overcomplicated sibling. It's pretty cool, but makes us wonder: where's our Xbox handheld, Microsoft? Lenovo Legion Go S Offers a Welcome, Less Complicated Design Than the Original.

We've got no pricing or available for it yet -- it's a real product, not just a concept or prototype -- but being able to turn a laptop screen from 14 to 16.7 inches in a press of a button sounds like something I want.

James Martin/CNET Housing renters who want to mount their TV but are wary of drilling into their walls, your ship is about to come in. The Displace TV uses suction cups to stick to the wall and runs off batteries, meaning you can stick it pretty much anywhere in your home or office. It comes in varying sizes, starting with a $1,499 27-inch model and going up to a $4,999 55-inch TV, which will ship in spring 2025. I Suction-Cupped Displace TV's Wireless OLED to a Wall.

The new Nvidia cards just jumped more than a generation's worth in their power to render games and perform complex AI image generation, among a lot of other things. And they still fit into the box on your desk and cost about the same as before. The Wait Is Over: Nvidia's Next-Gen RTX 50-Series GPUs Are Here.

Samsung's turned the stretching screen of our nightmares into reality -- though it could be flowers as much as the undead pushing through. The screen bulges in the middle to produce a 3D effect; it's a little hard to see, according to editor Lisa Eadicicco, but it's there. Samsung's Wild Stretchable Display Concept Turns 2D Into 3D. Lisa Eadicicco/CNET Swippitt A fast way to fill up your phone's charge. And empty your wallet Swippitt's added a twist to the phone battery case: a box that swaps external batteries when you stick your phone in the slot. But it's not for everyone: At $450 for the hub and $120 for the Link case, the Sippitt is more expensive than aPlayStation 5and almost as pricey as an iPhone 16. I Watched a Printer-Size Gadget Add More Battery Life to a Phone in Seconds. Lymow Lymow One Robo-mows your lawn and spits back mulch I'm all for anything that can remove the tedium from everyday (or every-week) tasks, and this one is the first to do away with one of the most tedious homeowner tasks. It not only mows your lawn, it gnaws most of the detritus (including leaves and branches) into lawn food. A New Robot Mower at CES 2025 Can Do Something No Rival Can. Tara Brown/CNET Roborock Saros Z70 A robot vacuum with an arm You may not want, or even care about robot vacuums. If you're looking for the "see" in "must-see," this armed and dangerous (to dirt) robot vacuum has proven mesmerizing to watch. What's the arm for, you ask? It's not just vacuums;it can pick up after you. We Spent Hours Watching a Robot Vacuum Pick Up Socks. It's a Dream Come True. HMD Imagine you're cut off from mobile cell service in the outdoors or when networks are down, but it doesn't matter: HMD's new $200 OffGrid device lets you link your Android or iOS phone to networks of satellites to send texts, check-in messages to loved ones and even send emergency pings. From the ashes of last year's Motorola Defy Satellite Link comes a product with even more features, though you'll need to pay a monthly subscription to use it. Give Any Phone a Texting Hotspot Connection Using a Satellite. Just Like iPhone 16.

We've seen smart kitchen appliances, but none that cater to the...influencer crowd? The LG Signature Smart Instaview has cameras inside the microwave to record video of you making your favorite dishes -- and don't worry, there are plenty of sensors that check on how the food is cooking to make sure you don't end up with a smoldering mess. There's also a 27-inch HD display and speakers so you can watch TV while you cook. While only a concept device for now, the Instaview is an intriguing look at how kitchen-fluencers are nudging tech forward, too. Home Kitchen & Household LG Built the Perfect Fancy Microwave for Social Media. Circular Circular Ring Gen 2 A smart ring that detects irregular heartbeats to warn ahead of strokes or heart attacks. For years, premium smartwatches have been able to detect atrial fibrillations -- irregular heartbeats that could preclude strokes and cardiac events -- but not everyone wants a smartwatch. Enter the Circular Ring Gen 2, a $380 smart ring that watches out for these AFib events and tracks other health data, will be available to buy in the next couple months. Circular's New Smart Ring Can Detect AFib From Your Finger. James Martin/CNET Samsung's micro LED smartwatch concept A Micro LED display that's so bright you can see it in daylight. For all the smartwatch lovers who can't see their screens in broad daylight, Samsung debuted a concept device showing a next-gen micro LED display that's brighter than any watch you can buy. While it could be years before this reaches a consumer device, it's promising -- just promise to never take it out in a dark theater. Samsung's Micro LED Smartwatch Concept Is the Brightest Screen I've Seen on a Watch. Jon Reed/CNET Roam SodaTop Add fizz on the fly The SodaStream, which lets you create carbonated drinks at home, was a great idea when it launched. But now everyone's in motion and equipped with water bottles, so why should you be able to get your fizz on in only one location? The SodaTop is a cap for compatible water bottles that carbonates water in compatible containers. This Revolutionary Bottle Cap Lets You Make Sparkling Water Anywhere. 25 for CES 2025: The Must-See Tech We're Obsessed With
