We’re about to be drowning in new releases for all kinds of technology as CES quickly approaches, but Lenovo is ready ahead of the crowd with new ThinkPad and IdeaPad laptops to close out 2023 on a high note; plus, we now have a release date for their exciting ThinkVision 3D monitor!
The Aiper Seagull 1500 cordless robot I reviewed last summer has done a fantastic job helping me keep my pool clean. At CES last week, Aiper announced its new flagship Seagull line, with models including the Seagull Pro, the Seagull Plus, and the Seagull SE; Aiper has also introduced a limited edition Elite Pro. If keeping your swimming pool clean has become a tedious daily chore, Aiper can help you spend less time cleaning your pool so you can spend more time enjoying it.
It was a blast to be back in person for CES this year, and as is always the case, we found plenty of new gear that caught our fancy. After sorting through hundreds of announcements and making our way through dozens of CES events, venues, and demos, we’ve decided on the gear that we found to be the most innovative and intriguing. Without further ado and in no particular order, here are our top ten choices for Best of CES 2023!
When the first images of the Dyson Zone appeared in late March last year, the internet had an absolute field day. Headphones with a detachable mask that served as a personal air purifier? April Fools’ Day had come early! Everyone who saw the photos or read about them had a strong opinion, and it’s understandable why. The Dyson Zone has a very unique and possibly polarizing design, but underneath its futuristic and slightly dystopian style is an impressive melding of audio and health tech that works.
We can tap into multiple lifetimes’ worth of music libraries on our phones, but nothing will replace a home entertainment system to really enjoy our music. JBL has a slew of stylish and powerful speakers, turntables, CD players, and streaming devices in classic and modern designs to up your music game in 2023!
JBL makes amazing home sound systems, but they also know how to shrink that experience down to a portable one in both speaker and headphone forms. They have a new and exciting slate of devices coming out in 2023, so let’s dive in!
Anker has become a household name in the world of electronic accessories by selling well-made, reliable, and cost-efficient products. Whether you’re using an Anker portable battery, 3D printer, docking station, or one of their Eufy or Soundcore devices, Anker’s offerings never fail to impress us. Here are some of the products they were showing this week in Vegas.
Roku has been making streaming boxes you can attach to your television for years. They’ve also partnered with other TV companies to put their Roku operating system on their sets. But now, you’ll be able to buy a Roku-made TV in just about any size you might need!
Acer may not be as familiar a name these days as it once was, but that doesn’t mean the company doesn’t have some impressive hardware to offer. And that became clearer than ever at CES when Acer announced three new laptops, the Acer Nitro 16, Nitro 17, and Swift Go 14. Each is powered by new AMD Ryzen mobile processors and promises excellent performance.
We can’t discuss Lenovo’s new ThinkBooks without first discussing the jaw-dropping new ThinkBook Plus Twist. Lenovo has experimented in the past with putting an eInk screen on the lid of a laptop, but the ThinkBook Plus Twist has, well, a twist to it.
Fun lights make everything better. They’re not just for arcades anymore. You can outfit your gaming cave or even your home office with all sorts of great LEDs. Twinkly offers up all sorts of LED products that can brighten your space, and now they’re offering a new Entertainment Hub desktop app to really take your LED game up to a new and sparkling level.
Lutron makes all kinds of great devices to keep your home lights going. Their Caséta system aims to make sure you can customize your lighting controls wirelessly, and they’ve expanded that lineup at CES with the new Diva smart dimmer and Claro smart switch in a variety of colors to match your decor!
CITIZEN has a deservedly excellent reputation for making stylish and reliable wristwatches. They’re taking their eye for style and combining it with some seriously smart machine learning to make smartwatches that actually adapt to your needs. The second generation of CITIZEN CZ Smart watches will be powered by the YouQ application with the aim of improving your health and your daily routine!
We take our phones everywhere. After all, they’re our cameras as well as communication devices; when we’re on a remote hiking adventure or skiing in the mountains, we not only want to be able to capture those moments but more importantly, we want to be able to call for help if it’s needed, even in truly remote areas that don’t have cellular service. That’s where Snapdragon Satellite will come into play.
Withings offers many amazing medical devices to quantify your health, from scales to blood pressure measurements to fitness trackers. But they’re taking that kind of health monitoring to a whole new level of dedication with the Withings U-Scan, which functions as basically a connected home urine lab.
We’ve reviewed several of EcoFlow‘s products, and all have exceeded expectations. However, the company makes more than portable power solutions, and they’ve just announced three exciting new products today at CES! On top of the Whole Home Backup Power Solution announced today, EcoFlow is also adding the Glacier, Blade, and Wave 2 to their lineup.
EcoFlow has quickly become an important maker of all things power. Their products are well-made and designed to work seamlessly within their ecosystem. Today at CES, they’re debuting the latest advancement in the power space with the EcoFlow Whole-Home Backup Power Solution. This system is built around the Delta Pro portable power station and could be a game-changer for home power.
Lenovo Legion means one thing: Gaming. And Legion has got plenty of goodies to keep gamers engaged in 2023, with both software and hardware upgrades sure to please even the most dedicated players.
Lenovo has always looked to what the future of computing might be, and they’re doing the same with tablets too. Their new Lenovo Tab Extreme is a glimpse into the future.
Sure, some people hear “Yoga” and think of exercise. But if you’ve followed Lenovo, you know that “Yoga” means Lenovo’s all-in-one laptops and desktops that bring multiple form factors and features in slim and attractive packages!
One of the coolest things about CES isn’t just the flagship products but the ways brands you don’t think of as technological find ways to improve our lives. The L’Oreal HAPTA and Brow Magic merge makeup with accessibility, and we’re so excited about the possibilities!
