We were rightly skeptical of AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 “Strix Point” laptop chips in 2024. Now they’re in some of the very best laptops you can buy, arguably hitting the sweet spot of price, performance, and battery life. Today at CES, AMD is announcing its successor, the Ryzen AI 400 line – but there’s nothing […]
AMD is introducing an improved version of its popular Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor today at CES. The new Ryzen 7 9850X3D offers up the same 8-core / 16-thread CPU as the 9800X3D, running at even faster boost clocks. “We’ve fine-tuned our best gaming processor in the world and have increased the boost clocks to 5.6GHz,” […]
HP is announcing a new mini desktop computer at CES 2026, and the whole thing is housed in a compact keyboard. The Eliteboard G1a looks like a normal office keyboard with either a captive or detachable USB-C cable, but inside it is an AMD Ryzen AI 300-series chip, stereo speakers, RAM, storage, a fan, and […]
Dell-owned Alienware is looking to reach a wider swath of gamers, announcing at CES 2026 that it’s working on two new laptops: one with a lower, entry-level price and one with an ultra-slim chassis.

Eureka’s new Z50 robovac comes equipped with a roller mop that it will automatically lift and shield before vacuuming your carpets, preventing them from getting wet. The roller mop cover is similar to the one we saw on the Roomba Max 705 Combo last year, but it’s available for a “tentative” cost of $800 as […]
Eureka is adding an even cheaper dock-equipped robovac to its lineup. During CES 2026, Eureka showed off the new E10 Evo Plus, a robovac featuring a mop pad, 10,000Pa of suction, two anti-tangle brushes, and a self-emptying docking station for just $299. It’s an even better deal than the Eureka E10s, a mopping pad-equipped robovac […]
Wellness tech companies are increasingly interested in bodily fluids like blood, urine, sweat, and saliva. At CES 2026, it’s time to add menstrual blood to that list, too. Health tech startup Vivoo just announced the FlowPad, a roughly $4 to $5 menstrual pad that doubles as an at-home hormone test for follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Users […]
At last year’s CES, Eli Health announced the Hormometer – an at-home hormone test for cortisol that utilized saliva and a smartphone. For this year’s show, the company is back and expanding into testosterone and progesterone. Eli Health isn’t changing up how its Hormometer works. You still stick a thin cartridge attached to a wand […]
Keychron is announcing new Q Ultra and V Ultra mechanical keyboards at CES 2026. They’re Keychron’s first ZMK mechanical keyboards, an open-source firmware that’s more battery efficient than the popular QMK. Keychron claims its ZMK boards can last up to 660 hours in 2.4G wireless mode with a high-speed 8,000Hz polling rate – matching wired […]
Six years ago, I first laid eyes upon the taint bandaid. It was the first night of CES 2020. In a corner of the inaugural CES Unveiled showcase, there was a lonely booth. Upon a sparse table lay a mannequin with its smooth Ken doll gooch exposed. In that valley of white plastic was a […]
