Engadget 2026年CES最佳产品：拉斯维加斯展会上我们眼中的新科技

为您呈现我们的15项获奖产品，以及全场最佳大奖。

本周，超过4000家参展商齐聚内华达州拉斯维加斯，在2026年国际消费电子展上展示他们的产品。Engadget团队一如既往地全力投入，报道这场盛会。展会周以各大公司的新闻发布会拉开序幕，内容大多充斥着人工智能的流行语、模糊的承诺，而实质性的硬新闻却寥寥无几。

不止一家公司甚至决定在发布会上放弃宣布新品，以便留出更多时间谈论AI。直到后来才悄悄发布新闻稿，承认他们确实推出了一些消费科技产品。我想，这倒也合适——当我们开始感受到AI行业对计算资源贪得无厌的胃口所带来的连锁成本效应（更高的水电费和设备价格）时，公司们宁愿用他们华丽的发布会来强化AI所谓不可或缺的属性，而不是真正向公众介绍他们的新产品。

在Engadget，我们绝非AI卢德主义者，但可以说，我们的团队对能丰富我们生活的有形产品比对大型语言模型的迭代改进更感兴趣。因此，远离英伟达马拉松式的主题演讲和联想那既浮夸又沉闷的Sphere秀场的喧嚣，评估那些争相吸引我们注意力的各种新奇小玩意、家电、玩具和机器人，是一种乐趣。

经过数天详尽的讨论和热情的推介，我们的CES团队从数百件产品中筛选出了我们的最爱。从一个包含约50件候选产品的跨品类初选名单开始，我们最终选出了15项获奖产品和唯一的全场最佳。

如果您本周一直关注我们，请继续期待更多内容——尽管我们已经发布了近200篇展会报道，但仍有大量信息要与您分享。不过现在，先来看看我们的获奖产品，每件产品都由最熟悉它的编辑进行介绍。——总编辑 Aaron Souppouris

最佳机器人：Switchbot Onero H1

在2026年CES上，我们看到许多机器人展示了引人注目且实用的能力。虽然很多机器人给我们留下了深刻印象，但愿意承诺真正将其推向市场的公司却较少。不过，我们看到的Switchbot Onero H1（它能拾取衣物并装入洗衣机）是一款该公司计划在今年销售的助手机器人。

我们看到的演示有限，但Switchbot声称它可以协助完成一系列家务（尽管可能比人类做得慢一些）。它还有点可爱。该公司尚未公布Onero的售价，但承诺这款机器人将低于1万美元。近五位数的价格对大多数人来说仍然遥不可及，但至少让我们有希望在CES展馆之外的某个地方看到它。——资深记者 Karissa Bell

最佳无障碍技术：WheelMove

WheelMove为手动轮椅提供了一个简单的升级方案，能让使用者更容易在草地、不平整的土路等粗糙路面上行进。这个附加装置固定在轮椅的前横杆上，除了提供五种速度选择的动力辅助外，还能将小脚轮抬离地面。它便携，续航里程不错，约15英里，并且支持在行进中更换电池，可以让轮椅使用者更容易进入原本难以活动的区域。它还能防止轮椅在下坡时加速。

这感觉非常像一款真正会问世的产品，并且可能确实有帮助。它在现有轮椅配件类别的基础上进行改进，以一种不把事情复杂化的方式解决实际问题，并且能与人们已经在使用的轮椅兼容。——周末编辑 Cheyenne MacDonald

最佳电视：LG Wallpaper TV (OLED Evo W6)

今年我在CES上看到了很多电视，但很少有像LG的OLED Evo W6这样让我驻足惊叹的。这是该公司“壁纸电视”的回归，但这次它甚至更薄（厚度约一支铅笔），并且不再与回音壁绑定。它还使用了LG的无线控制盒来减少线缆——唯一需要隐藏的线就是电源线。

最重要的是，OLED Evo W6采用了LG最新的OLED技术，承诺亮度比前代产品高出约20%。视频演示看起来绝对令人惊叹，拥有我们一直喜爱的OLED电视所具有的绝佳对比度和黑色水平。而且关机时它也是一件艺术品，从侧面看几乎会消失不见。——资深记者 Devindra Hardawar

最佳AI硬件：Subtle Voicebuds

Subtle的Voicebuds耳机有个独特之处：它们内置了一个AI模型，经过训练，可以在非常嘈杂的环境中，或在安静空间里低于耳语的声音下，准确转录你的语音。我们在熙熙攘攘的CES展馆现场见识了它的实际效果，在混乱中它成功转录了几个句子。唯一的缺点是，Voicebuds需要互联网连接才能使用最佳的转录模型，而且你需要订阅Subtle应用才能使用它。没有应用，它则依赖一个较小的本地模型进行转录。

虽然我们仍需对Voicebuds进行全面测试，但它们之所以引人关注，是因为我们还没见过多少真正有用的AI硬件产品。此外，我们已经很久没看到一家小型初创公司推出硬件产品试图挑战苹果这样的巨头了。——资深记者 Devindra Hardawar

最佳智能家居：宜家Matter兼容智能家居

我在CES上看到的最佳智能家居设备与AI或机器人无关。似乎其他公司，从博世到LG再到三星，都将这两项热门技术中的一项或两项融入了他们新的智能家居产品中。但宜家首次参加CES，带来了一系列简单、基础、支持Matter协议的智能插座、传感器、灯具和遥控器，价格极具吸引力。功能与亲民价格的结合正是宜家为人所知的特点，所以这个产品线与其说让我惊讶，不如说让我欣慰终于有人在简化和普及智能家居产品了。

总共有21款Matter兼容设备。包括一款6美元的智能灯泡、一款8美元的智能插座、一款6美元的智能遥控器和一系列家庭传感器。一款稍贵（15美元）的球形灯泡看起来非常漂亮。终于有一款你真正愿意看的智能灯泡了——而且价格不是50美元。另一个亮点是BILREA遥控器。它不仅是宜家智能设备和新智能灯具的直观控制器，还带有磁性底座，这样你就不会弄丢它。Matter设备需要一个集线器才能工作。在这里，你可以选择宜家自己的DIRIGERA集线器，也可以使用你已经拥有的Matter集线器。新的产品线预计将于1月份在宜家官网和门店上架。——资深记者 Amy Skorheim

最佳家庭影院：三星 HW-QS90H

许多公司声称他们的回音壁低音足够强劲，无需单独的 subwoofer（低音炮）。这些承诺很少能兑现，即使公司设计了新技术来解决这个问题。三星通过HW-QS90H，承诺其Quad Bass低音单元系统也能做到这一点。这些低音单元双向运动，产生的低音效果比大多数回音壁单独工作时强得多。更重要的是，三星加入了去年首次亮相的Convertible Fit Design技术，因此你可以将这款扬声器平放或壁挂，内置传感器会自动相应调整驱动器输出。所以，如果你一直渴望回音壁能有深沉的低音，又不想在角落里放一个又大又丑的低音炮，今年晚些时候你可能终于能如愿以偿了。——副主编 Billy Steele

最佳音频：Shokz OpenFit Pro

说到开放式耳机，声称提供主动降噪的公司通常做不到；当你的耳朵没有被完全封闭时，很难有效阻挡外部声音。Shokz是为数不多破解了这个难题的公司之一，其产品就是OpenFit Pro。耳挂式设计使耳机位于耳道外，让你能清晰感知周围环境。当你需要更安静一点时，该公司的降噪技术能很好地消除咖啡馆、办公室等场所的中等程度噪音。你能在这里获得的降噪效果令人印象深刻，而且由于没有任何东西塞入耳道，佩戴起来非常舒适。此外，Shokz通过新的驱动器改善了整体音质，并增加了杜比全景声功能。——副主编 Billy Steele

最佳户外科技：Tone Outdoors T1

户外工具公司越来越多地出现在CES上，尤其是那些提供一系列电动工具的公司。不过，Tone Outdoors不是你常见的电动工具公司；它是航空航天工程公司Whisper Aero的衍生公司。通过开发更安静的电动飞机发动机，Whisper Aero意识到其技术还有其他用途。于是便有了T1吹叶机。

T1比大多数手持燃气型号安静得多，平均峰值噪音仅为52分贝。它的风力也更强劲，气流体积达到880 CFM。T1的运行时间也更长，即将推出的背包将使其运行时间延长数小时。但这里最重要的进步是，当你进行庭院工作时，不会打扰到邻居——或者你自己。——副主编 Billy Steele

最佳玩具：乐高智能玩乐系统

乐高在不断进化，但很少像推出智能玩乐系统这样迈出如此大的一步。该系统旨在通过技术满满的智能积木，让标准乐高套装更具互动性。这些积木内部有一个乐高颗粒大小的微型芯片，能实现运动、颜色和接近感应等功能。它们还有一个微型扬声器，进一步帮助乐高搭建作品活起来。

智能积木基本上是一块白板，但与乐高的智能标签和智能人仔配对，才能实现这些新的游戏场景。不出所料，乐高在推出智能玩乐系统时，同时发布了《星球大战》套装，使这些新的沉浸式元素更加明显。卢克·天行者驾驶的X翼战机可以与达斯·维德的TIE战斗机进行空战，你会听到引擎轰鸣启动，角色在遭受攻击时惊呼，如果飞船被击中太多次还会爆炸。而且智能玩乐系统无需设置，这意味着智能积木中的技术会悄然隐退，让孩子们（以及童心未泯的大人）专注于玩耍本身。你不需要知道它是如何工作的——它只管用就行。——副主编 Nathan Ingraham

最佳PC或笔记本电脑：戴尔 XPS 14 + 16

在某种程度上，这个奖项既是颁给戴尔最新的旗舰笔记本电脑，也是颁给戴尔公司本身。去年，戴尔为其所有硬件推出了新的命名方案，包括用“Premium”一词取代标志性的XPS系列。尽管我们反对，但该公司还是坚持完成了这次品牌重塑。但在2026年CES上，戴尔不仅承认了错误，还通过XPS家族的两名新成员纠正了错误，而这正是我们一直想要的。

在XPS 14和XPS 16上，我们获得了全新的机身设计，搭载了英特尔最新芯片，华丽的串联OLED显示屏，以及体现了我们多年来对XPS笔记本所有热爱的精密工程。戴尔还简化了设计，更大的XPS 16比上一代轻了整整一磅。该公司甚至通过从电容式触摸控制键改回经典的功能键行，以及从无缝玻璃触控板改回分段式触控板（无缝玻璃触控板难以追踪光标位置），解决了我们之前提出的一些批评。

但也许最棒的部分是戴尔并未止步于此，因为该公司还预告了其传奇的XPS 13的新版本，计划于今年晚些时候推出，这将是该系列中最薄最轻的成员。还有另外两款XPS型号的占位符，计划在不远的将来推出。——资深记者 Sam Rutherford

最佳健康科技：Eyebot视力检测亭

如果更新眼镜处方不像现在这样是个漫长的过程，那该多好？Eyebot的新亭子旨在将去医生诊所的过程自动化，缩短为走到机器前的三分钟。它结合了模拟和数字技术，能迅速识别出你需要什么才能看得清楚。更好的是，处方必须由持证眼科医生签署，所以你仍然可以依赖一定程度的专业严谨性。我们喜欢Eyebot，因为它在我们的测试中证明了自己：它简短的检查结果与我去年由专业人士完成的处方相符。但它让有效的眼部护理变得更容易获得和负担得起的能力（这是目前所不具备的），甚至比技术本身更吸引人。——资深记者 Daniel Cooper

最佳游戏科技：华硕 ROG Zephyrus Duo

华硕ROG Zephyrus Duo尺寸大，设计奇特，设置起来可能很麻烦。但说实话，什么样的游戏玩家不想要更多屏幕呢？即使你在激战中无法使用它的第二块屏幕，更多的屏幕空间也意味着为Discord、攻略指南或你可能需要的任何其他东西提供了额外空间。此外，华硕配备的不是一块，而是两块出色的OLED面板，亮度高达1100尼特，色彩准确性极佳，编辑照片或视频毫无问题。你还能获得大量端口，并且支持最高到NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU，ROG Zephyrus Duo拥有足够强大的性能来处理你能扔给它的任何任务。——资深记者 Sam Rutherford

最佳移动科技：三星 Galaxy Z TriFold

三星可能已经在韩国发布了其可折叠智能手机的最新迭代，但CES是我们许多人首次亲眼看到Galaxy Z TriFold的机会。它是一款隐藏在6.5英寸智能手机外形下的10英寸安卓平板。

从三星过去可折叠设备近乎正方形的屏幕比例跃升至约4:3，这是一个重大改进。这是一款我可以愉快地在上面看完整部电影的设备。有更多的水平空间用于阅读，更多的空间用于打字，一切都是更明亮、更鲜艳的AMOLED屏幕。展开两侧的过程令人极其满足，而且或许因为它更厚，手感也很有分量。其余规格参数反映了另一款时尚的三星手机：2亿像素主摄像头，以及三星可折叠手机中迄今为止最大的电池。

不过，它可能很贵。三星尚未确认在美国的定价，但根据其在韩国的发布价格，可能在2500美元左右。——英国分社社长 Mat Smith

最具前景概念产品：联想 Legion Pro Rollable

概念设备很难评判，因为即使是那些潜力巨大的产品，也可能因为制造难度太高或市场过于小众而无法上市。但凭借Legion Pro Rollable概念，联想创造了一个简单而强大的构想：一款屏幕可以按按钮变宽的游戏笔记本电脑。

为了制造Legion Pro Rollable，联想拿了一台普通的Legion Pro 7i，然后将其标准的16英寸显示屏换成了柔性显示屏，可以一直扩展到23.8英寸——中间还有一个额外的停止点。这意味着你可以根据情况选择16:10、21:9甚至24:9的屏幕比例，这感觉是增强赛车游戏、飞行模拟器以及任何能利用超宽屏幕比例的游戏体验的绝佳方式。诚然，当屏幕完全展开时，它看起来确实有点笨拙。但在今年CES上我们看到的所有概念产品中，Legion Pro Rollable是我们最希望有朝一日能存活下来成为正式零售产品的那一个。——资深记者 Sam Rutherford

最佳新兴技术：IXI自动对焦镜片

IXI的自动对焦眼镜是我们讨论中较晚加入的，但我们对这项可能成为眼镜技术重大进步的创新印象深刻——自20世纪50年代以来，眼镜技术基本上处于停滞状态。IXI的眼镜采用了一种优雅、独特、无摄像头的眼球追踪系统，使用超低功耗LED和光电二极管精确监测用户的眼球运动和聚焦汇聚点。这些数据驱动一个液晶镜片层，能在约0.2秒内实现远近焦距的切换。将视线聚焦到别处，你的眼镜就会恢复到正常的处方度数。可以把它看作是对我们目前不得不使用的通常又厚又笨重的多焦点镜片的高科技改良版。

IXI目前正在完成生产流程、开发制造工艺并获得销售其眼镜所需的医疗认证，但它已经与欧洲的镜片制造商达成了协议。该公司接下来的一年会很忙碌，因为它要将这项技术转化为消费产品。——英国分社社长 Mat Smith

全场最佳：乐高智能玩乐系统

或许没有比CES更能突显行业趋势消亡速度之快的地方了。多年来，这个展会一直是VCR、DVD、平板电视、PDA等基石技术的推动者。有些趋势留存下来，有些则没有。

乐高几乎可以被视为典型CES产品的反面：该公司创意玩乐的核心理念在其漫长的历史中始终如一，并通过积木类型的持续渐进演变和品牌联名合作得到加强。

在其首次CES新闻发布会上宣布的智能玩乐系统，代表了科技与经典玩具的深思熟虑的融合。一个乐高颗粒大小的微型芯片使该公司的智能积木能够感知周围环境，开辟了新的游戏方式。该系统将首先以三款《星球大战》套装亮相，但我们相信乐高计划推出广泛的授权和非授权产品。

我们的团队立刻爱上了智能玩乐系统，副主编Nathan Ingraham有机会搭建了一些套装，并与该技术背后的一些人员进行了交谈。在家长们对屏幕时间感到焦虑的当下，智能玩乐系统无需应用或屏幕即可开始，令人耳目一新。孩子们可以直接开始搭建。——总编辑 Aaron Souppouris

Engadget's best of CES 2026: All the new tech that caught our eye in Las Vegas
Presenting our 15 winners, plus our best in show award.
Over 4,000 exhibitors flocked to Las Vegas, Nevada this week to showcase their wares at CES 2026. The Engadget team, as usual, was out in full force covering the show. The week began with press conferences from huge companies at the show, mostly filled with AI buzzwords, vague promises and quite little in the way of hard news.
More than one company even decided to forgo announcing things during their conferences to make way for more AI chatter, only to publish press releases later quietly admitting that, yes, actually, they did make some consumer technology. It's appropriate, I guess, that as we're beginning to feel the knock-on cost effects of the AI industry's insatiable appetite for compute resources — higher utility bills and device prices — companies would rather use their flashy conferences to reinforce AI's supposedly must-have attributes rather than actually inform the public about their new products.
We're by no means AI luddites at Engadget, but it's fair to say that our team is more excited by tangible products that enrich our lives than iterative improvements to large language models. So, away from all of the bombast of NVIDIA's marathon keynote and Lenovo's somehow simultaneously gaudy and dull Sphere show, it's been a pleasure to evaluate the crowd of weird new gadgets, appliances, toys and robots vying for our attention.
Over the course of several days of exhaustive discussion and impassioned pitching, our CES team has whittled down the hundreds of products we saw to pick our favorites. Starting with an initial shortlist of around 50 candidates across a diverse range of product categories, we eventually landed on 15 winners and our singular best in show.
If you've been with us all week, stay tuned for a lot more to come — despite publishing almost 200 articles from the show already, there's still plenty we have to tell you about. For now, though, here are our winners, each introduced by the editor most familiar with it. — Aaron Souppouris, Editor-in-chief
Best robot: Switchbot Onero H1
We saw a lot of robots showing off intriguing and useful capabilities at CES 2026. While a lot of robots impressed us, there were fewer companies willing to commit to actually making them available. But Switchbot's Onero H1, which we watched pick up clothes and load a washing machine, is a helper robot the company intends to sell this year.
The demo we saw was limited, but Switchbot claims it can help with an array of household chores (even if it might do them more slowly than a human). It's also kind of cute. The company hasn't said how much Onero will cost, though it promises the droid will be less than $10,000. A nearly five-figure price tag is still out of reach for most, but it at least gives us hope we'll see it somewhere outside of the CES showfloor. — Karissa Bell, Senior reporter
Best accessibility tech: WheelMove
WheelMove offers a simple upgrade for manual wheelchairs that could make it much easier for the rider to navigate rough surfaces like grass and uneven dirt paths. The add-on is affixed to the front bars of the wheelchair and can lift the small caster wheels off the ground, in addition to providing power assistance with five speed options. It's portable, has a decent range of about 15 miles — with the option to swap out its battery on the go — and could give wheelchair users greater access to areas that would otherwise be difficult to move about in. It can also keep the wheelchair from speeding up when a person is traveling on a downward slope.
This feels very much like a product that will actually see the light of day, and could be genuinely helpful. It builds upon an existing category of wheelchair accessories to address a real issue in a way that doesn't overcomplicate things, and would work with the wheelchairs people already use. — Cheyenne MacDonald, Weekend editor
Best TV: LG Wallpaper TV (OLED Evo W6)
I’ve seen plenty of TVs at CES this year, but few stopped me in my tracks like LG’s OLED Evo W6. It’s the resurrection of the company’s “Wallpaper TV,” but this time it’s even thinner (about the depth of a pencil), and it’s no longer tied to a soundbar. It also uses LG’s wireless control box to reduce cabling — the only cord you need to hide is the one for power.
And best of all, the OLED Evo W6 features LG’s latest OLED technology, which promises to be about 20 percent brighter than previous generations. Video demos looked absolutely stunning, with all of the wonderful contrast and black levels we’ve come to love from OLED. But it’s also a work of art when it’s turned off, one that practically disappears when viewed from an angle. — Devindra Hardawar, Senior reporter
Best AI hardware: Subtle Voicebuds
Subtle’s Voicebuds are earbuds with a twist: They feature an AI model that’s trained to transcribe your voice accurately in very noisy environments, or when it's below a whisper in quiet spaces. We’ve seen these things in action on the bustling CES show floor, where they managed to transcribe several sentences amid the chaos. The only downsides is that the Voicebuds require internet access to use the best transcription models, and you need to subscribe to the Subtle app to use it. Without the app, it relies on a smaller local model for transcription.
While we still need to put the Voicebuds through their paces, they’re intriguing because we haven’t seen many genuinely useful AI hardware products. Plus, it’s been a while since we’ve seen a tiny startup deliver hardware trying to take on the likes of Apple. — Devindra Hardawar, Senior reporter
Best smart home: IKEA Matter-compatible smart home
The best smart home devices I saw at CES had nothing to do with AI or robots. It seems every other company, from Bosch to LG to Samsung, had one or both of the buzzy technologies baked into their new smart home offerings. But IKEA came to its first CES with a simple lineup of basic, Matter-enabled smart plugs, sensors, lamps and remotes at screamingly good prices. Function paired with accessible pricing is sort of what IKEA is known for, so the lineup didn’t exactly surprise me as much as make me appreciate that someone is finally simplifying and democratizing smart home stuff.
There are 21 Matter-compatible devices in all. They include a $6 smart bulb, an $8 smart plug, a $6 smart remote and a slew of home sensors. A slightly pricier ($15) globe bulb looks very lovely. Finally, there’s a smart bulb you’d actually want to look at — one that doesn’t cost $50. Another standout is the BILREA remote control. Not only is it an intuitive controller for IKEA’s smart devices and new smart lamps, it also has a magnetic mount so you don’t lose the thing. Matter devices require a hub to function. Here, you can either go for IKEA’s own DIRIGERA or use a Matter hub you already own. The new lineup should land at IKEA’s website and stores sometime in January. — Amy Skorheim, Senior reporter
Best home theater: Samsung HW-QS90H
Many companies claim their soundbars have enough bass that you don’t need a separate subwoofer. Those promises rarely pan out, even when the company devises new technology to solve the problem. With the HW-QS90H, Samsung is pledging to do the same with its Quad Bass woofer system. Those woofers move in two directions, producing a lot more low-end tone than most soundbars are capable of on their own. What’s more, Samsung included its Convertible Fit Design tech that debuted last year, so you can lay this speaker flat or mount it on a wall and the built-in sensors will automatically adjust the driver output accordingly. So, if you’ve longed for deep bass on a soundbar without a large or ugly sub in the corner, you may finally get your wish later this year. — Billy Steele, Deputy editor
Best audio: Shokz OpenFit Pro
When it comes to open fit earbuds, companies that claim to offer active noise cancellation (ANC) usually don’t deliver; It’s difficult to effectively block external sound when your ears aren’t completely sealed off. Shokz is one of the few that has cracked the code with its OpenFit Pro. The over-the-ear hook design allows the earbuds to sit outside of your ear for a clear line to your surroundings. When you need a bit more quiet, the company’s noise reduction tech does well to silence moderate sounds in a cafe, office and more. It’s seriously impressive how much noise reduction you’ll get here, and the fact that nothing is stuck in your ear canals makes them very comfortable to wear. Plus, Shokz improved overall sound quality with new drivers, and tacked on Dolby Atmos for good measure. — Billy Steele, Deputy editor
Best outdoor tech: Tone Outdoors T1
Outdoor tool companies have increasingly shown up at CES, especially the ones that offer a range of battery-powered gear. Tone Outdoors isn’t your usual power tool outfit though; it’s a spin-off of the aerospace engineering company Whisper Aero. Through its development of quieter electric airplane engines, Whisper Aero realized its technology had other uses. Enter the T1 leaf blower.
The T1 is significantly quieter than most handheld gas models, clocking in at just 52 decibels of peak noise on average. It’s also more powerful than most of them with 880 CFM of airflow volume. The T1 can run longer too, and an upcoming backpack will extend run time for several hours. But the most important advancement here is not annoying your neighbors — or yourself — when it’s time to do some yard work. — Billy Steele, Deputy editor
Best toy: Lego Smart Play
Lego is constantly evolving, but rarely does it make as big a move as it did with Smart Play. The system is designed to take standard Lego sets and make them more interactive thanks to a tech-packed Smart Brick. Those bricks have a tiny chip the size of a Lego stud that enables things like motion, color and proximity sensing. They also have a tiny speaker that further helps bring Lego builds to life.
The Smart Brick is mostly a blank slate, but pairing it with Lego's Smart Tags and Smart Minifigures is what enables these new play scenarios. Unsurprisingly, Lego introduced the Smart Play system alongside Star Wars sets that make these new immersive elements more obvious. An X-Wing piloted by Luke Skywalker can get into a dogfight with Darth Vader's TIE fighter, and you'll hear the engines roar to life, the characters exclaim as they come under fire and the spaceship explodes if it gets hit too many times. And Smart Play requires no setup, meaning that the technology packed into the Smart Brick fades away and lets kids (and kids at heart) get down to the business of playing. You don't need to know how it works — it just does. — Nathan Ingraham, Deputy editor
Best PC or laptop: Dell XPS 14 + 16
In a way, this award is for Dell’s latest flagship laptops but also the company itself. Last year, Dell showed up with a new naming scheme for all of its hardware that included replacing the iconic XPS line with the word “Premium.” And despite our objections, the company followed through with the rebrand. But now at CES 2026, not only has Dell admitted its mistake, it’s righting wrongs with two new members of the XPS family that are exactly what we wanted all along.
On the XPS 14 and XPS 16, we’re getting brand new chassis featuring the latest chips from Intel, gorgeous tandem OLED displays and precision engineering that embodies everything we loved about XPS laptops from previous years. Dell also streamlined its designs with the larger XPS 16 dropping an entire pound compared to the previous generation. The company even addressed a number of our previous critiques by switching from capacitive touch controls back to a classic row of function keys and reverting to segmented touchpads instead of seamless glass ones that made it hard to keep track of your cursor.
But perhaps the best part is that Dell isn’t stopping here, because the company also teased a new version of its legendary XPS 13 slated for later this year, the thinnest and lightest member of the family yet. There are also placeholders for two more XPS models slated to arrive in the not too distant future. — Sam Rutherford, Senior reporter
Best health tech: Eyebot vision test booth
Wouldn’t it be nice if getting an updated eyeglasses prescription wasn’t as lengthy a process as it is right now? Eyebot’s new kiosk is designed to automate the process of visiting a doctor’s office to three minutes rocking up to a machine. It uses a combination of analog and digital wizardry to identify what you need to see properly in no time at all. Even better is that the prescriptions have to be signed off by a licensed eye doctor, so you can still rely on a degree of professional rigor. We like Eyebot because it proved itself in our tests: its brief examination matched my professionally completed prescription from last year. But its ability to make effective eye care accessible and affordable in a way that it isn’t at present is even more compelling than the tech itself. — Daniel Cooper, Senior reporter
Best gaming tech: ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo
The ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo is big, weird and potentially awkward to set up. But honestly, what kind of gamer doesn’t want more screens? Even if you can’t use its second display in the middle of a firefight, more real estate means extra room for Discord, build guides or anything else you might need. Furthermore, ASUS included not one but two brilliant OLED panels with up to 1,100 nits of brightness and color accuracy so good you won’t have a problem editing photos or videos. You also get a ton of ports, and with support for up to an NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU, the ROG Zephyrus Duo has more than enough performance to handle anything you can throw at it. — Sam Rutherford, Senior reporter
Best mobile tech: Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold
Samsung might have announced the latest iteration of its foldable smartphones in Korea, but CES was the first chance for many of us to see the Galaxy Z TriFold in person. It’s a 10-inch Android tablet hidden within a 6.5-inch smartphone form factor.
The jump from the almost-square screen ratio of Samsung’s past foldables to approximately 4:3 is a major improvement. This is a device that I could happily watch entire movies on. There’s more horizontal space to read, more room to type and more bright, vivid AMOLED everything. Unfurling the sides is incredibly satisfying and, perhaps because it’s thicker, it has a reassuring heft, too. The rest of the spec sheet reflects another fashionable Galaxy phone with a 200-megapixel main camera and the biggest battery yet in a Samsung foldable.
It’ll likely be expensive though. Samsung hasn’t confirmed pricing in the US, but based on its launch cost in Korea, it could be around $2,500. — Mat Smith, UK bureau chief
Most promising concept: Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable
Concept devices are hard to judge because even the ones with a ton of potential might be too difficult to make or too niche to bring to market. But with the Legion Pro Rollable concept, Lenovo created something with a simple yet powerful premise: A gaming laptop with a screen that gets wider at the touch of a button.
To make the Legion Pro Rollable, Lenovo took a regular Legion Pro 7i and then swapped its standard 16-inch display for a flexible one that can expand all the way up to 23.8 inches — with a bonus stop in between. This means you have the option to choose from 16:10, 21:9 or even 24:9 depending on the situation, which feels like an incredible way to enhance racing games, flight sims and anything else that can take advantage of extra wide aspect ratios. Granted, when its screen is fully deployed, it does look a bit ungainly. But of all the concepts we saw this year at CES, the Legion Pro Rollable is the one we hope survives to become a proper retail product someday. — Sam Rutherford, Senior reporter
Best emerging technology: IXI autofocus lenses
IXI’s autofocusing glasses were a late addition to our discussions, but we were impressed by what could be a significant advancement in spectacle technology — something that’s been largely static since the 1950s. IXI’s glasses feature an elegant, unique, cameraless eye-tracking system that uses ultra-low-power LEDs and photodiodes to precisely monitor the user's eye movement and focus convergence. This data drives a liquid crystal lens layer, enabling a focus switch between near and far distances in approximately 0.2 seconds. Focus your gaze elsewhere, and your glasses return to their normal prescription. Think of them as a high-tech take on the often thick and clunky multifocal lenses we’re currently stuck with.
IXI is now finalizing the production process, developing manufacturing and gaining the necessary medical certification to sell its glasses, but it has already struck deals with lens manufacturers in Europe. The company has a busy year ahead as it turns its technology into a consumer product. — Mat Smith, UK bureau chief
Best in show: Lego Smart Play
There's perhaps no place better than CES to highlight how quickly industry trends die. Over the years the show has been a driver of cornerstone technologies like the VCR, DVD, flatscreen TVs, PDAs and more. Some trends stick, some don't.
Lego could almost be seen as the antithesis of the typical CES product: The company's core concept of creative play has remained in place throughout its long history, boosted by a gradual and ongoing evolution of block types and brand tie-ins.
Announced at its first-ever CES press conference, Smart Play represents a thoughtful integration of technology to the classic toy. A tiny chip the size of a single Lego stud allows the company's Smart Bricks to sense what's around them, opening up new ways to play. The system will debut with a trio of Star Wars sets, but we’re sure Lego has plans for a wide range of licensed and unlicensed options.
Our team instantly fell in love with Smart Play, and Deputy editor Nathan Ingraham had the opportunity to both build some sets and talk with some of the people behind the technology. Amid parental anxieties about screentime, it's refreshing that Smart Play doesn't require an app or a screen to get started. Kids can just get building. — Aaron Souppouris, Editor-in-chief
