As it did last year, TCL is showing off a new generation of NXTPAPER tech this week at CES. The new NXTPAPER 11 Plus tablet is built around the also new NXTPAPER 4.0 screen which uses a "nano-matrix lithography" to improve clarity and sharpness. The color accuracy is better as well, with the new output measuring just one on the Delta-E scale (the metric measures how the human eye perceives color differences and any value of one or lower is said to be imperceptible to the human eye).
Since its launch in 2021, the goal of NXTPAPER tech has been to create a screen that's easier on the eyes and now, unsurprisingly, AI is here to help with that. The NXTPAPER 11 Plus has an AI-powered Smart Eye Comfort Mode that adjusts output based on different usage scenario and the Personalized Eye Comfort Modes let users adjust eye-comfort settings to their liking. Features like NXTPAPER's paper-like matte finish and blue light purification technologies go further to help make the screen easier to look at for longer periods.
The new tablet will support Google's Circle to Search feature and the Smart Voice Memo function will transcribe and summarize recordings. There's a Smart Translator to handle language from voice, text and images and AI Subtitles offers real-time dialog transcription.

I knew I had found my favorite computer of CES 2025 early last December, long before I had a chance to see what most other PC makers were cooking up. It comes from ASUS and it's the new Zenbook A14, a system that the company had joked about calling the Zenbook Air.
To be fair, the name would have been fitting: the notebook weighs less than 2.2 pounds (or 1kg), a half a pound lighter than Apple's most svelte MacBook Air. In almost every respect, the ZenBook A14 outclasses Apple's ultraportable, with specs like a 14-inch OLED screen and up to 32 hours of battery life. The only catch is that it runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon X and X Elite chips, which limits compatibility with older Windows apps (along with some devices).
What's most remarkable about the Zenbook A14, though, is that it simply feels great to hold. The light weight is a big part of that, but its also covered in ASUS's unique Ceraluminum material, which feels markedly different than a typical metal case. ASUS has deployed Ceraluminum across its premium lineup for years, but this is one of the first times we've seen it on practically every surface of a laptop (the top lid, keyboard desk and bottom).
The Zenbook A14 also features plenty of thoughtful design elements. It's easy to open up one-handed, thanks to a refined hinge that counter-acts the laptop's tiny frame. It also has a surprising amount of ports, including one USB Type A connection, two USB C ports, HDMI 2.1 and a headphone jack. That's all connectivity we'll never see on a MacBook Air.
In my short time with the Zenbook A14, its keyboard and trackpad also felt relatively comfortable. ASUS says the keys offer 1.3mm of travel, and while they c

 Lenovo's Legion gaming laptops are getting a big refresh thanks to CES 2025. The new series of notebooks includes what's probably the star of the show, the 10th-generation Legion Pro 7i. It supports up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU thanks in part to a cooling system that enables up to 250W thermal design power (TDP). It also uses an AI engine to dynamically adjust CPU and GPU wattage for optimal performance.
It'll also support up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor to pair with that high-powered NVIDIA graphics card. Lenovo's Legion Coldfront Vapor cooling helps it support that high-end hardware. On top of that, you'll get up to 64GB of 6400Mhz DDR5 (2 X 32GB) RAM and a built-in LA1 LA3 AI chip. All of that is a recipe for souped-up gaming on the go — or really just about anything you need to do, anywhere at any time.
The laptop has up to a 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600, 16:10) OLED display. The screen supports up to a 240Hz frame rate and has a 1ms response time. It can reach 500 nits of brightness. The Legion Pro 7i has two USB-C ports (one of which is Thunderbolt 4), three USB-A ports and HDMI 2.1. With all that high-end hardware inside, it's quite the beefy machine, with a starting weight of around 6 lbs.
It launches in March. But all that horsepower doesn't come cheap: Lenovo says the Legion Pro 7i has an expected starting price of $2,399 — and you can safely bet that RTX 5090 variants will fetch a premium on top of that.

Unveiled this week at CES in Las Vegas, the Altas Wireless Security System includes two 2K bullet-style Altas cameras, two 6-watt solar panels, and a Home Hub for centralized management. Each camera features a 20,000mAh battery, providing up to seven days of continuous recording. With just two hours of sunlight daily, the solar panels keep the cameras running around the clock, reducing reliance on motion detection.
The Home Hub acts as the system's control center, enabling users to manage up to eight cameras and access live footage, playback, and detailed reports through the Reolink app.
Reolink's ColorX technology delivers full-color night vision, capturing sharp, accurate images even in low light. The system's advanced lens and sensor collect up to four times more light than traditional infrared cameras.
Another notable feature is pre-event recording, which captures the 10 seconds leading up to an event. This extra context can make a significant difference when reviewing footage, providing a more complete picture of what happened.

Audio-Technica typically produces excellent sound quality on its headphones and earbuds even though it may not always build a complete package. The company has also been ahead of the competition on battery life at times, and at CES 2025, it's making some bold claims about its latest set of active noise canceling (ANC) earbuds. On the ATH-CKS50TW2, Audio-Technica says you can expect up to 25 hours of battery life on a charge when ANC is disabled, or 15 hours when you're trying to block distractions.
There's another 40 hours in the charging case (25 with ANC on), but the other big feature on the ATH-CKS50TW2 is... magnets. Audio-Technica calls it Magnetic Switch Technology, and the tool snaps the earbuds together to turn them off before you toss them in a pocket without returning them to the case. If you're ready to use them again, they'll turn on when you pull them apart.
Hybrid active noise cancellation is also on the spec sheet and 9mm drivers power the sound profile. Multipoint pairing is here too, as is Qi wireless charging and an IP55 rating for dust and water. There are touch controls on the earbuds as well, offering access to playback, volume, calls, voice assistant and noise control settings.
The ATH-CKS50TW2 is available now in black for $149 and a beige color option appears to be on the way.

The HomeCortex addresses the growing demand for unified smart home security solutions, where a single system can manage multiple cameras and related devices. As more households adopt connected technology, centralized control has become essential, streamlining what can often be a fragmented setup. With local storage options ranging from 32GB to 16TB, the HomeCortex also eliminates the recurring costs of cloud subscriptions, allowing homeowners to store years of footage securely.
At its core, the HomeCortex uses advanced AI tools to enhance security. Facial recognition distinguishes family and friends from strangers, reducing false alarms, while vehicle identification tracks license plates to alert users about unfamiliar cars. Wall-climbing detection adds another layer of protection, triggering alarms to deter potential intruders.

 Lenovo came to CES 2025 to prove that there's still room in its ThinkPad family for fresh designs. It may seem sacrilegious to ditch the carbon fiber frames and Trackpoint nubs found in classic ThinkPads, but that's exactly what the new ThinkPad X9 line does.
Lenovo may not admit it outright, but the goal with these new models is to entice younger buyers who might not have a ton of nostalgia for the company's 30-year-old laptop line. That said, the X9 line (which will be available in both 14- and 15-inch variants) still delivers the same military-grade durability (MIL-SPEC 810H) you'd expect from a typical ThinkPad while boasting an even sleeker and more minimalist appearance.
The lid of the X9 line is made from a smooth sheet of aluminum with the only defining characteristic (aside from the ThinkPad logo) being the long communication bar that houses the laptop's microphones and cameras. On the inside, Lenovo's streamlined aesthetic reveals the complete absence of a Trackpoint nub, a redesigned keyboard with new keycaps and an even larger haptic touchpad than what you'd get from the X9's siblings.

The laptop also sports a 1080p IR camera, speakers with Dolby Atmos support and Wi-Fi 7. Basically, it has everything we'd want in a premium laptop in 2025.

With a notebook PC with a screen that rolls, a monitor with directional audio, and the first third-party SteamOS gaming handheld, Lenovo is hitting CES 2025 hard.

Lenovo is already announcing one new handheld (or two depending on how you're counting) at CES 2025. However, that isn't stopping the company from looking ahead to its next portable gaming device by teasing an early prototype of the Legion Go 2.
Right off the bat it's important to note that this successor to the original Legion Go is non-functioning and meant to be more of a design preview of Lenovo's second-gen handheld instead of true first look. That said, the Legion Go 2 appears to share a number of features with its predecessor including detachable controllers, a large 8.8-inch display, a small touchpad on the right, a built-in kickstand and, if you look closely at the bottom, there's even a toggle that allows the right gamepad to enter FPS/vertical mouse mode. So it's clear this follow-up isn't straying too far from the first model's general blueprint.
Instead, it seems like Lenovo is focusing on making some small tweaks regarding the handheld's ergonomics including more rounded grips and tapered sides along with a new circular D-pad as opposed to the cross-shaped component used on the previous model.
Additionally, Lenovo shared some early (but still unfinalized) specs which include a new Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip from AMD, support for up to 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB of SSD storage and a significantly larger 74Wh battery (up from 49.2Wh). This should deliver a noticeab
