CES 2025 is still thriving, and there are numerous extraordinary announcements that we’re finding challenging to keep up with! The updates from days 1 and 2 were quite abundant, but I genuinely believe that day 3 features some of the most significant news of the entire event. It’s proven to be quite a challenge to determine exactly which part I appreciate the most.
We’re discussing entirely new automotive technology from BMW, improved methods for playing PC games while on the move, brain-operated motion controls, and a laptop that might contest heavily with Apple’s Macbook Air. Here are the 11 top new gadgets that were disclosed on CES day 3.
Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6
Rollable displays have returned at CES 2025, with Lenovo launching the new ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 laptop. However, this is not a prototype, like the models we’ve seen earlier; this one is genuinely going to be available for purchase. It’s set to retail for at least $3,499, which is extraordinarily pricey, but at least we have confirmation that it’s not just a concept anymore.
So what exactly are you obtaining for your investment? The key feature is the expandable display, which is guaranteed for 20,000 openings and extends from a typical 14-inch size to an incredibly-tall 16.7-inch screen. It’s akin to having two 16:9 displays layered on top of each other, providing a significant amount of screen area to utilize. Additional specifications include an Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU, up to 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, two Thunderbolt 4 ports along with Wi-Fi 7 support.
A definitive launch date hasn’t been announced, but Lenovo indicates that this should be available before the conclusion of Q2 2025.
Anker 165W Power Bank
Power banks for smartphones are widely available, but choices for laptops are considerably more scarce — and costly. Fortunately, things are seemingly evolving, and Anker just introduced a brand new power bank at CES.
Not only does it feature a 27-inch retractable cable, and up to 165W of charging power,
combined charging rates, it’s additionally equipped with sufficient power to completely recharge a Macbook Air M2. The 25,000 mAh capacity also indicates it complies with airline regulations, and USB-PD 3.0 enables it to charge as many as 4 devices simultaneously. Not only with the extendable USB-C cable, but also featuring a trio of USB-C outlets and a single USB-A port.
While it’s true laptop batteries are significantly less likely to deplete than those found in smartphones, as someone who owns an aging laptop with a battery that barely holds a charge, this could be quite advantageous. At a minimum, it allows me to swiftly recharge my other devices without needing to lug around multiple power banks. The Anker 165W is priced at $99 and is currently discounted.
Lenovo Legion Go S
Another gaming handheld, this time from Lenovo, aiming to challenge the Steam Deck’s top position. This 8-inch device will actually come preloaded with SteamOS (the first non-Steam Deck handheld to feature this), signifying Lenovo could be competing with Valve on its own turf. Windows 11 is also an option for those who prefer it, but it comes at a higher cost — starting at $599 compared to the $499 of the SteamOS model.
Noteworthy hardware specifications include up to 32GB of RAM, up to 1TB of storage, microSD card support, 2 USB4 ports, a headphone jack, and a choice between the AMD Ryzen Z2 Go chipset or the Ryzen Z1 extreme. All enclosed in a sleek design that weighs only 1.63 lbs.
The first version with Windows 11 will be launched later this month, priced from $799. Meanwhile, the $599 Windows 11 Lenovo Legion Go S will debut in May, followed by the SteamOS version in the subsequent month.
Mudra Link
Gesture control can be exceedingly beneficial, but if you seek something substantial, typically you would require some expensive equipment — like the Apple Vision Pro headset. However, Wearable Devices’ Mudra Link offers an analogous experience for merely $199, thanks to a “neural wristband.”
compatible with Android, Windows, and macOS.
The wristband doesn’t possess mind-reading abilities, even if it may appear so. It utilizes exclusive Surface Nerve Conductance sensors that can detect “electromyography signals from subtle finger movements.” Paired with an integrated accelerometer and gyroscope, it translates this data into commands. Essentially converting your hands into a mouse, in a manner that currently seems somewhat system-neutral.
The initial implementation will be on smart glasses, courtesy of a collaboration with TCL — potentially implying you won’t need to carry any hand-tracking technology directly on your face.
BMW’s Panoramic iDrive

Vehicles are more technologically advanced than ever before, and automotive manufacturers are not showing any signs of slowing down this trend in the near future. Long-time CES exhibitor BMW is no exception, recently unveiling its latest Panoramic iDrive system at the event. In simple terms, it’s a 3D heads-up display that projects pertinent information across the entire windshield — from pillar to pillar.
On the left side, right above the steering wheel, is vital information that the driver requires at a quick glance. This encompasses speed, directions, and speed limits. To the right, by the passenger seat, there are customizable widgets that you can select — featuring apps and information that might be useful while driving. It may sound trivial, but having utilized a heads-up display in a vehicle, I can assure you it’s exceedingly convenient. Especially since all the information is within your direct line of sight.
Panoramic iDrive is expected to be integrated into new BMW models by the end of this year. Although likely, similar to Mercedes’ Hyperscreen, it will be a rather expensive enhancement for your vehicle.
Razer PC Remote Play
I’m a huge enthusiast of playing games remotely from my consoles, but gaming on PC isn’t always as straightforward. While services are available, Razer’s new PC Remote Play aims to streamline the process significantly — with added benefits. Provided that you possess a Razer mobile controller, such as the Kishi V2, you will be able to initiate a remote play session from the Razer Nexus app.
Even better, this procedure consolidates all your gaming libraries into one location. Therefore, if you have games on Steam, Epic, or Microsoft Game Pass, they’re all accessible from a single hub, eliminating the need to switch between various applications and services. There’s also an adjustable aspect ratio included, but the best part is that Razer PC Remote Play is completely free — with no subscription fees to stress over.
Segway Xyber
If you’re in the market for an ebike that comes with a bit of excitement, Segway has just the thing. The firm has long established itself in the ebike and escooter market, and there are several notable announcements at CES that may pique your interest. Particularly, the Segway Xyber, an ebike capable of accelerating from 0 to 20mph in just 2.7 seconds. It also boasts a remarkable range of up to 112 miles, and puncture-resistant tires that can easily manage tough terrains.
Meanwhile, the Segway GT3 Pro escooter can achieve 30mph in less than 4 seconds, with a maximum speed of 49.7 miles per hour and a range of 89 miles. That’s quite impressive for a device you need to stand on and balance, so this is certainly not for those who are timid — or without a helmet. The standard GT3 is slightly slower, with a top speed of 31mph and a range of 45 miles. However, the 9-second 0-30 acceleration time is still quite remarkable.
The Segway GT3 is currently available for $1,699, while the GT3 Pro is expected to launch in Spring/Summer at an undisclosed price. The Xyber is available for pre-order now at a staggering $3,000.
Asus Zenbook A14
If you seek a slim and lightweight laptop that isn’t a Macbook, then Asus may have just the solution. While it may not be designated as the Zenbook Air, the newer Asus Zenbook A14 is the nearest alternative to a Macbook Air from the brand at present. Measuring merely 0.5 inches in thickness, and weighing 2.16 lbs (or just under 1kg), it certainly competes well against Apple.
Especially when considering features like Wi-Fi 7 support, a 70Wh battery that lasts up to 32 hours, and the powerful Snapdragon X chipset powering it. Even more impressive, Asus has ensured the Zenbook A14 minimizes heat generation — meaning no thermal throttling and the device can maintain its high performance for extended periods. Additionally, it boasts an appealing design made from a combination of aluminum and ceramics.
Be sure to check out our hands-on article for a detailed overview of all the specifications and everything else this fashionable machine has to offer — with prices commencing at $899.
VIV Ring
The year 2025 is shaping up to be significant for Smart Rings, and the newly-revealed VIV Ring is poised to join that arena. However, aside from all the standard health-monitoring capabilities like heart-rate tracking and blood oxygen monitoring, VIV Ring may distinguish itself due to its sleep enhancement features — including “Generative Sleep Aid Sound.”
This capability is designed to assess sleep patterns and cycles, alongside other biometric information. After thorough analysis via AI, the algorithm curates customized sleep audio composed of various natural sounds. Ocean waves, rainfall, birdsong, and other diverse sound effects are orchestrated to enhance the quality of your sleep. No more generic white noise machines for you, based on current indications.
The VIV Ring is expected to be released next month, although pricing details are still pending confirmation.
Sony XYN Headset

Although Sony’s venture into virtual reality was previously confined to the PSVR, that has now evolved at CES 2025. Here, the corporation introduced its “XYN” headset, a concept apparatus particularly designed for generating content for spatial computing. This is not likely something you would want for personal use, but a broader launch could facilitate creators in producing their own spatial content for various headsets.
The concept revolves around the 4K OLED microdisplays within the headset, capable of rendering virtual experiences for the user, and allowing for 3D modeling activities. This entails capturing real-world objects using 3D software and transforming them into assets for new virtual environments. The provided controller permits viewing and resizing these objects for functionality.
Regrettably, since this remains a concept, there is no information available regarding wider availability or the potential pricing of this device if it were to be offered for sale.
ERA Smart Layer
CES is not solely about conventional technology; it also showcases remarkable new advancements in various domains — including sleep. Introducing the ERA Smart Layer, an intelligent mattress topper equipped with integrated sensors and AI to enhance your sleep quality.
The sensors can track breathing and heart rate while connecting with other health devices through the cloud. Utilizing this information, the built-in AI will provide daily recommendations on improving your sleep. Additionally, there’s a spinal alignment system that conforms to your body shape, even as you shift, ensuring comfort.
Moreover, the topper incorporates active massage functions and dynamic thermal regulation to maintain an ideal sleep temperature throughout the night. Honestly, the massage feature caught my attention. Unfortunately, details about pricing or availability are yet to be disclosed.
