Techaeris Best of CES 2025

This year I made it to CES 2025 and I saw plenty of stuff, just not enough. I had to leave early thanks to the CES flu, but I do have the Techaeris Best of CES 2025 here for your reading pleasure. This is the Best of CES, at least the CES I saw. I am making this a short article, but I’m including links to the various winners. I am still recovering from the CES flu and I could use all the rest I can get!

So here’s what, I thought, was the Best of CES 2025 and congratulations to all the winners on this list. This list is in no particular order. Links are highlighted in teal.

Samsung Odyssey 3D Monitor: A fantastic gaming monitor with 3D functionality that does not require 3D glasses to use. Probably one of the coolest monitors I have ever seen.
Samsung S95F OLED TV: Samsung continues making some of the very best OLED TVs and the new S95F is a killer looking TV well worth your time considering.

Alienware Area-51 Desktop: Alienware desktops are some of the best looking on the market, and this one has grabbed the Best of CES 2025 award from yours truly.

Lenovo Legion Go S Steam: The Lenovo Legion Go was an outstanding gaming handheld and this year, Lenovo brings us a slightly smaller handheld but with Steam OS instead. This is a fantastic collab and well worth looking at. There is a Windows version too.
Lenovo ThinkPad X9: The X9 is the newest ThinkPad with some unique features. This could be the best MacBook Killer ever made. It might ruffle some feathers, though, considering the TrackPoint has been removed.
Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i: An outstanding looking, well-built, sleek, and beautiful laptop. Easily one of the best-looking laptops and the Best of CES 2025 winner.
TCL QM6K TV: TCL has been doing great things with their TV lineup. Last years’ QM8 was a winner, and this year the new QM6K should be on your short list of TVs. It is also a winner of the Best of CES 2025 award.
TCL60XE Smartphone NXTPAPER: I am still a fan of TCL smartphones for budget minded users. This US exclusive is a great

Litheli EASYSURGE 18.5’’ Lawn Mower: Robot lawn mowers are getting better and easier to use, and the EASYSURGE is one of the better ones.
Dreame Z1 Pro Robotic Pool Cleaner: Like robot lawn mowers, pool cleaners are also getting better. The Z1 Pro represents a breakthrough in pool cleaning technology, offering a cordless, automated solution for comprehensive pool maintenance. With powerful suction capabilities and advanced navigation, it delivers thorough cleaning across pool floors, walls, and waterlines while eliminating the hassles of traditional corded cleaners.
Soocas NEOS ll 2-in-1 Electric Toothbrush with Water Flosser: We all need clean teeth, and tech is getting crazy good in the oral care segment. This toothbrush is one of the Best of CES 2025.
Rokid AR Spatial – glasses pack: AR Glasses aren’t for everyone, but these might tickle some people. Rokid Glasses, another highlight of Rokid’s exhibition roster, is the only smart glasses on the market that integrates advanced AI, AR, and first-person camera technology into a stylish 49-gram frame. Designed for lifestyle and professional applications, these glasses empower users with real-time language translation, instant object recognition, meeting transcription, and personalized navigation.

Swann MaxRanger4K Video Doorbell with SwannShield: To go along with the 4K Pro, pair it up with this doorbell.
Intel Lunar Lake Processors: Intel expanded its Lunar Lake Processors. We were already impressed with what they introduced last year, and this expansion is going to take Intel to some really great places. Lunar Lake is truly a tech breakthrough, and it got the Best of CES 2025 award.
Lili Dyslexic Screen: I didn’t get to spend much time with this one, but I really love the idea of helping those with dyslexia read. This new monitor device is supposed to help do that, and I hope I get a chance to test it, as two of my kids have dyslexia. This is not a production product, yet.
Donut Lab electric motor: New EV hub motors are very cool and poised to change the EV industry. All this EV tech is new, but this one certainly deserved the Best of CES 2025 award.

XGIMI Ascend: An astonishing ALR screen for your projector with a built-in soundbar that rolls up out of a cabinet and keeps things tidy. This isn’t in production, but the company says it is likely they will produce it.
Focal Diva Utopia speakers: Expensive, but very amazing speakers with built-in amps, dacs, and preamps. These are for serious sound lovers, but they deserved the Best of CES 2025.
Shure MV7i microphone: A new mic with some outstanding features, perfect for podcasters, gamers, and even musicians.

That is our Best of CES 2025 list this year. I wish I hadn’t missed my last day at CES, but this flu got a hold of me. I would have had more winners if I had made the other events I missed. Thanks for reading, watching and supporting Techaeris!
