Our unofficial, silly and meaningless CES 2025 awards, just for fun

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , , ,
CES (formerly the Consumer Electronics Show) is the biggest tech convention of the year. It helps set the stage for all the wonderful gadgets we're going to see over the next 12 months. However, among all the quadcopters, questionably benevolent robots and devices with fancy flexible screens, there's a lot of small things that go into making CES a one-of-a-kind event. To highlight some of the silly, stupid and occasionally wholesome things we encountered at the show this year, we humbly present the very unofficial Dumb Fun awards for CES 2025.Cutest digger - Komatsu PC01E-2 Sam Rutherford for EngadgetKomatsu’s PC01E-2…

CES 2025: The best tech and gadgets we saw in Las Vegas

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , ,
CES 2025 has come to a close — Friday was the final day of the show — and team Engadget has departed Las Vegas. Our reporters and editors spent the week scouring endless carpeted convention halls of the CES show floor, braving lines of chain smokers, overcoming nasty colds and sore ankles and fielding thousands of emails a day to find the best and most credible products at the show.It was quite the challenge, as the landscape was dotted with countless contenders. As expected, the vast majority of things we saw this CES had an AI component, with a noticeable…

18 CES gadgets you can actually buy right now

The $800 Roto VR Explorer is a swiveling VR chair that's actually supposed to help with common VR issues like motion sickness because "the signals from your inner ear will match what your brain is expecting from the visual cues." Engadget's Cheyenne MacDonald tried it out and said, while a little jarring at first, the chair doesn't give you that disorienting feeling of the ground shifting underneath you. And, after ending the demo, she did not get that typicaly wobbly-legged feeling upon returning to real life and removing her headset. Source link lol

Faraday Future pitches a ‘fresh start’ with a minivan EV prototype at CES 2025

At CES 2017, Faraday Future introduced its futuristic luxury EV, the FF 91. Seven years later, following repeated delays, bankruptcy, lawsuits and other controversies, the company has sold “15 or 16” FF 91s. Now the company is detailing its latest strategy shift, with a plan to sell cheap EVs under its new low-cost “FX” brand. FX CEO Max Ma came to CES, along with two prototype vehicles, to pitch the plan that he described as a “fresh start” for the embattled company.As you might expect with Faraday, the exact details are somewhat hazy, but it involves sourcing parts from Chinese…

CES’s Pebble Flow EV trailer gets some tweaks ahead of its spring shipping date

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , ,
It's always gratifying when something promised at CES actually comes to market. That's the case with the Pebble Flow electric trailer that my colleague Sam Rutherford checked out last year's CES. I was able to see the final draft on the show floor this week and was adequately impressed. Like the (four!) other sustainable, electrified tiny homes we saw this year, it was shiny and luxe and decked out in wood tones, glass, metal and white polymers.The main features that drew us to the Flow last year remain intact: sleeping for four, a 45 kWh battery and a 1.1 kW…

A tale of four Kodaks

A tale of four Kodaks

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , ,
It was while walking past the RadioShack booth at CES 2025 that I spied the Kodak stand not far ahead. And it was while musing about the fate of those two storied — okay maybe not storied — names that I spied another Kodak booth two rows over. For a company that’s been dead more than a few times over, it’s certainly enjoying something of a renaissance. Look, it’s not as if there haven’t always been brands that die and get revived in pursuit of a quick buck. Especially if the price is cheap and there’s any residual degree of…

The robots we saw at CES 2025: The good, the bad and the completely unhinged

stp2y0 CommentsNews, ,
It was an interesting year for robots at CES 2025. While we had hoped the AI boom would bring a new wave of useful robots to the show, it seems that many robotics companies are still figuring out exactly how to best use AI.  What we found instead was a mix of adorable robot companions, strange concepts and one, slightly terrifying humanoid. We visited a lot of robots at CES and, for better or worse, some really left an impression on us. These are the ones that stood out the most. TCL Ai Me Karissa Bell for Engadget Of all…
