Highlights from CES 2025

in Las Vegas since 1967, the “Consumer Electronic Show” (CES) has been showcasing the most cutting-edge consumer tech to excited enthusiasts and casual attendees alike for decades now. It’s truly a capitalistic miracle! CES 2025, held from January 7th to 11th, kickstarted the year with several promising and futuristic gadgets from a wide range of companies. Without further ado, let’s dive into some of the most captivating and extraordinary products unveiled at the tech extravaganza.

Have you ever had a strange desire to see through your TV? Well, hold on to your hats because LG, a trailblazer in display technologies, has unveiled its “Transparent T” TV at CES, leaving audiences in awe. Although it comes with a hefty price tag of $60,000, this TV boasts the breathtaking picture quality of an OLED, the remarkable flexibility of a sheet of paper, and the transparency of... well, glass.

CES is not all about entertainment devices, however. Also unveiled at the convention was a game-changing electric spoon created by health-conscious innovator Homei Myashita. Myashita believes that excessive sodium consumption is a significant health issue in today’s world, so they’ve created a spoon that can replicate the taste of salt using electricity. Shockingly, the electric spoon doesn’t shock its user’s tongue.

When it comes to laptops, one size rarely fits all. Luckily, Lenovo’s “Thinkbook Plus Gen 6” addresses this problem with its expandable display. The laptop’s default screen size is 14 inches, but it can be scaled upwards with the click of a mouse. This allows the hidden screen within the hinge to unravel, revealing additional screen real estate. Perhaps extendable display laptops are here to stay? Hopefully, that $3,500 price tag will drop as it garners attention from more people.

Last but not least, LG strikes again with its “Stanbyme 2.” A sequel to last year’s all-purpose “magic screen,” Stanbyme 2 is a 24-inch TV-smart tablet hybrid. The durable device can be propped up with a stand to be used as a traditional TV or taken on the go with its smart cover accessory and touch screen. Essentially, it does whatever you want it to, and that’s exactly where the future of smart devices is heading. Now we just have to wait for its screen size to be adjustable before it purges all the iPads of the world. A price tag lower than $1,000 wouldn’t hurt either.
