We are heading to Las Vegas for the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) from January 6-9, 2026. See what tomorrow will bring at the largest tech event that showcases the leaders in the tech industry and startups.
The biggest influence at CES 2025 was AI, and there were so many companies with AI technology embedded into their products that it will definitely be continued into the upcoming technology for years to come. Currently, that technology is driving up the cost of computer chip prices, which is affecting consumer pricing, especially with memory (DRAM).
There is so much to see at CES, and some of the off-site events like Pepcom and Showstoppers, that it can be overwhelming. Now, there weren’t a whole lot of products that stood out to me, but here are some highlights from CES 2025.
Gardyn. Full indoor, AI-driven Hydroponic garden. Grow over 100+ non-GMO varieties of produce and flowers all year round.
Neakasa Magic 1 Vacuum Steamer. Get those wrinkles out with this handheld device that irons and steams clothing at the same time.
Pawport Smart Pet Door. Bulletproof, secure pet door. Can be mounted in walls, doors, and even glass.
Wonder – Bird Buddy, Petal, Wonder Blocks. Birdfeeder, Smart Nature Camera, and Smart Nature Observatory that create habitats to help attract pollinators and helps rediscover nature in your backyard.
Eureka J15 Max Ultra. The new robotic vacuum and mop is powered by AI through the IntelliView 2.0 Dual Vision System.
Kirin – Electric Salt. Flavor-enhancing electric salt spoon that uses a mild electric current to the tongue to amplify flavors, such as saltiness and umami.
TCL Ai Me and PlayCube. The world’s first modular AI companion robot that looks like a baby owl is a very cute smart home system. The PlayCube was a surprise to me. At its small size and unique shape, it is a powerful 1080p projector.
My Arcade Retro Gaming Devices. So many different classic arcade games to choose from, mini arcade cabinets to handheld.
Clicks. A keyboard case for your iPhone for a tactile feel of typing. Programmable keys for one-button functions to apps and commands.

Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max. The first wireless robotic pool cleaning robot.
XPeng AeroHT. This eVTOL combines a van and a flying vehicle, in which the 2-seater van can separate.
There is always something changing with CES, as they have made a few schedule changes and expanded to the convention spaces at the other Las Vegas casinos. This year is no different.
The Press Day schedule is missing a few press conferences from the usual companies, like TCL, Samsung, Panasonic, and a few others. Samsung appears to have moved its press conference from Press Day, and attendance from its usual booth space at the Las Vegas Convention Center to the Wynn.
CES officially takes place at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Venetian Expo, Venetian/Palazzo suites & ballrooms, Westgate suites, Aria, Vdara suites, Wynn/Encore suites & meeting rooms, Park MGM, Cosmopolitan suites & meeting rooms, and has expanded to include Fontainebleau suites & meeting rooms, and Resorts World. That’s not even including all the unofficial CES events and companies holding their own meetings at the other Las Vegas hotels.
As with every year, and only 4 days to explore such a vast area. I’ll try to cover as much as I can, from early morning to very late in the evening, posting directly from the Press Day press conferences and the show floor from our X (Twitter) account – @ThatsITLA.
