And some are just strange. At CES 2024, we’ve had them all. Below, we’ve rounded up the coolest and most interesting gadgets, laptops and tablets that have been announced so far.

The show runs through January 12th, and we’ll continue updating this post as new gadgets get revealed.

Asus Zenbook Duo (2024)

Asus’s newest Zenbook Duo is quite different from its past dual-screen laptops. Specifically, instead of having a second smaller screen integrated into the keyboard, the newest Zenbook Duo has two 14-inch OLED touch screens that can be rearranged in a number of form factors. Similar to last year’s Lenovo Yoga Book 9i, you can use the Zenbook Duo in tablet or laptop modes, with or without its detachable keyboard, or as a dual-screen laptop (with the two screens stacked on top of each other).

Price: $1,499+

Samsung Ballie

Samsung announced a new-and-improved version of Ballie, its smart home rolling robot that it originally showed off in 2020. Like before, Ballie can follow you around the home and act as an ever-present smart home assistant. The big upgrade with the 2024 model is that Ballie now has a built-in projector and can play videos on your wall, floor or ceiling. It can show you visual messages, play video calls or fitness videos, or project a variety of images or videos as you command it.

Mophie Juice Pack (2024)

Mophie is bringing back its Juice Pack battery case after several years in limbo. The new cases will fit the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max — but not the (less popular) iPhone 15 Plus, unfortunately. Each case will add protection and give your iPhone hours of extra juice.

Price: $100
Availability: February 2024

HP Spectre x360 14

HP made quite a few changes to its high-end 2-in-1 laptop, the Spectre x360, this year. The new model features an Intel Core Ultra processor, a larger 14-inch OLED display, a new touchpad with haptic feedback, and a 9-megapixel webcam that can capture 4K video. It also has a smoother, more refined overall design.

Price: $1,650+

Rabbit R1

The Rabbit R1 is an adorable AI-powered device designed in collaboration with Teenage Engineering. It has a 2.88-inch touchscreen, button/scroll wheel, built-in camera, processor and its own operating system. The tiny device also has its own virtual assistant and the idea is that you can interact with it without actually needing to look at a screen. You can get it to call or text people, play music, answer questions and do simple app-based tasks.

Price: $199
Availability: March 2024

Razer Blade 16 and 18 (2024)

The big thing with Razer’s new Blade gaming laptops is, they have much-improved displays. The Blade 16 has a new 16-inch OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate and the Blade 18 has an 18-inch 4K display with a 165Hz refresh rate; both, according to the company, are firsts of their kind. Each laptop retains the same overall design as previous Blades, but they’ve been given a number of spec improvements, as well.

Price: $3,000+ (Blade 16); TBD (Blade 18)
Availability: now (for Blade 16)

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid

The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid is a pretty funky gadget. It’s a 2-in-1 device that runs Android when in tablet mode, but then switches to Windows when used as a traditional tablet — yep, it can seamlessly switch between two different operating systems.

Price: $2,000
Availability: Q2 2024

Withings BeamO

The BeamO is an innovative 4-in-1 wellness device that serves as a thermometer, stethoscope, oximeter and EKG.

Basically, it’s a versatile health assessment gadget that you use at home or carry with you.

Price: $250
Availability: TBD

TP-Link Tapo DL130

The Tapo DL130 is a smart video doorbell that is HomeKit-compatible and can be controlled with any of the major smart voice assistants: Google Assistant, Alexa and Siri. There are a number of ways to unlock it other than a voice assistant, including a keyboard, fingerprint scanner, a physical key or even your Apple Watch.

Price: TBD
Availability: TBD

Clicks for iPhone

Clicks is an iPhone case that adds a physical keyboard a la Blackberry. The case connects to iPhone via Lightning or USB-C (depending on the model) and supports passthrough power; you can leave it on your iPhone while charging. Unfortunately, this isn’t a MagSafe case — there are no built-in magnets — so MagSafe accessories and chargers won’t grip your iPhone quite as strongly.

Price:$139
Availability: February (for iPhone 14 Pro); March (for iPhone 15 Pro)

Asus AirVision M1

The AirVision M1 is a wearable display that (sorta) looks like regular eyeglasses. They connect to your smartphone or computer (via USB) and, thanks to a 1080p Micro OLED display, create a virtual screen. Wearers can pin up to three virtual screens in front of them to better multitask. Effectively, this eyewear aims to be a streamlined and budget-friendly alternative to Apple’s Vision Pro.

Price: TBD
Availability: TBD

Acer Swift and Aspire Laptops (2024)

Acer announced refreshed versions of its high-end Swift and more budget-friendly Aspire laptop lines at CES. They both received spec bumps over their predecessors, but the big news is they are Acer’s first laptops to feature Intel Core Ultra processors.

Philips 5000 Series Wi-Fi Palm Recognition Smart Deadbolt

Philips’s upcoming smart deadbolt lock is pretty unique in that it’s integrated with palm-reading technology; when you get home, it scans the palm of your hand and unlocks your door when recognized (cool!). It comes with built-in Wi-Fi, making it easier for you to control it remotely, and it supports both Alexa and Google Assistant.

Price: $360
Availability: Q1 2024

Satechi 3-in-1 Foldable Qi2 Wireless Charging Stand

Satechi announced several wireless chargers that support the new Qi2 wireless charging standard; basically, Qi2 offers the same benefits as MagSafe — fast iPhone charging and a magnetic connection — but doesn’t cost quite as much. This 3-in-1 charger has a unique design that allows it to fold flat so it looks less like a stand.

Price: $130
Availability: Q2 2024
