Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable
Lenovo had a busy time at CES 2025 – its biggest highlights being new additions to the ThinkPad and ZenBook series. However, what caught our attention was its rollable display laptop. That’s right, the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable is the world’s first laptop with a rollable display. First unveiled as a concept two years ago, this laptop is finally available as a consumer product. With the press of a key or a simple hand movement, the display expands vertically from 14 inches to 16.7 inches. This display flaunts 100% DCI-P3 colour accuracy, 120Hz refresh rate, and 400 nits of brightness. The laptop is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 line of processors. It costs a whopping $3,499 (~ Rs 3,01,600).

Acer’s newest handheld gaming consoles go up against the likes of Nintendo Switch, Asus ROG Ally, and Steam Deck. The Nitro Blaze 8 & 11 are powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS processor and pack AMD Radeon 780M graphics. The WQXGA touch displays (8.8-inch and 10.95-inch) have a 144Hz refresh rate and feature AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution technology for fast graphical upscaling and high-quality frames.

It can upscale images to 8K and optimise sound components using AI.
Omnia
CES wouldn’t be complete without a glimpse at the tech of the future. This year, Withings showcased its smart mirror concept which left us in complete awe. Omnia serves as the central hub in Withings’ wearable and health ecosystem. The smart mirror compiles all of your health metrics and displays them in one place. It uses advanced AI tech to analyse your health metrics and provide meaningful insights. The clean design and seamless data integration make Omina a one-of-a-kind lifestyle product.
Swippitt
Swippitt claims to charge your smartphone in 2 seconds and double the lifespan of the battery. It does this using an Instant Power System which consists of the Swippitt Hub, Swippitt Link, and Swippitt App. The Swippitt Link is a smartphone case with an integrated 3,5000 battery. This case snaps onto your phone and powers it instantly. When the battery runs out of charge, the Swippitt Hub swaps it in just 2 seconds. The Swippitt App helps you keep track of the battery status and performance. At the moment, Swippitt is available for iPhone 14, 15, and 16. Support for Android devices will be rolled out later this year.
LG AeroCat Tower
The LG AeroCat Tower is equal parts weird and adorable. At its core, this device is an air purifier. It just happens to have a cat bed attached to it. The air purifier adjusts its flow when a cat is sitting on the bed. Additionally, it warms the bed to create a cosy environment for your feline friend. The cat bed has an integrated scale to weigh your cat. It can measure the cat’s sleep cycle as well. These metrics can be accessed from the LG ThinQ app. If you have an older cat that struggles with jumping, the AeroCat Tower has a second platform to help it scale the height of the bed.
LG StanbyME 2
LG’s StanbyME sequel generated a lot of buzz at CES 2025. The battery-powered portable TV now comes with a strap that lets you hang it on a wall. LG has bumped the resolution of the 27-inch display from 1080p to 1440p. The StanbyME 2 offers a four-hour battery life, which is thirty minutes more than its predecessor. The briefcase cover with an integrated stand is still an essential part of the TV, especially when you’re taking on a road trip. There are 2 USB Type-C ports on the device if you want to connect any accessories to the TV while simultaneously charging it.
Nékojita FuFu
The Nékojita FuFu was hands down the weirdest device showcased at CES 2025. It is essentially a mini robot that blows on hot drinks/food to cool them down. Why, you ask? Because it can. Yukai Engineering, the startup behind the portable robot, says that it is designed to help people who have a highly heat-sensitive tongue. The robot attaches to cups and plates and has an internal fan that generates a cool breath in a way that a human might. As of now, the Nékojita FuFu supports 8 blowing modes. Yukai Engineering will begin the crowdfunding process for the device this summer.
