If you like the idea of a touchscreen MacBook but are tired of waiting for Apple to bring it to market, Intricuit has a clever solution. The company has unveiled an accessory called the Magic Screen at CES, which adds touchscreen functionality to existing MacBook models. The Magic Screen attaches seamlessly to the MacBook’s display using…

At CES, smart lighting companies often compete for attention through spectacle – bigger effects, brighter demos, and increasingly elaborate setups. Govee is taking a more practical approach. Instead of focusing purely on visual impact, the company is demonstrating how advanced lighting setups can enhance everyday living. Under the theme “Lighting the Future,” Govee is showcasing a new generation of smart lighting products designed to feel at home in living rooms, bedrooms, and workspaces, rather than existing purely to impress on the show floor. Smarter color control for everyday spaces At the heart of Govee’s CES lineup is LuminBlend+, a new…

Meta appears to be exploring a new way to get users to spend more time in the Threads app. In a bid to keep users engaged, the company is reportedly testing a feature that could make private conversations a little more fun. According to a recent post on X from reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi, Meta could soon introduce mini games to Threads DMs. An early screenshot of the feature reveals a basketball-themed game with a simple swipe-based mechanic that allows users to flick shots back and forth with friends while chatting. This feature seems less about competitive gaming and more…

Anker’s audio sub-brand, Soundcore, just dropped a new AI-powered voice recorder called Work at CES 2026. It’s a clear shot at professionals and students who are tired of toggling between their phones and notetaking apps. While AI transcription isn’t a new frontier, Soundcore is gambling on the idea that a tiny, privacy-first piece of dedicated hardware is exactly what people actually want in a crowded meeting room. The Soundcore Work is built to stay out of the way. It’s roughly the size of a large coin – just a bit thicker – and is designed to be worn almost any…

When Samsung finally announced its dual-hinged foldable phone towards the end of 2025 I’ll admit I was intrigued. As a Pixel 9 Pro Fold owner, I’ve embraced the foldable phone era, and so the TriFold was always going to turn my head. I was delighted then, when I got the chance to get hands on with the Galaxy TriFold during CES 2026, giving me a taste of Samsung’s latest foldable. This isn’t the first tri-fold I’ve handled though, as I spent a brief amount of time with the Huawei Mate XT a year or so ago. The key difference between…

ASUS is pushing into the big-screen ultralight space with the Zenbook A16 Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme, a 16-inch Copilot+ PC that it says weighs 1.2 kg. The hook is simple. You get a roomy display, but you don’t have to carry a typical 16-inch workload on your shoulder. The headline spec is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme with an 18-core CPU, paired with an 80 TOPS NPU for on-device AI acceleration. If you’ve been waiting for Windows laptops that feel quick on battery while still taking AI features seriously, this is the kind of configuration that’s meant to close that…

Acer is leaning hard on the Acer Swift 16 AI touchpad as the standout feature in its refreshed Swift lineup. The idea is simple. If the touchpad is big and responsive enough, you might stop reaching for a separate tablet for quick drawings, markups, and precision tweaks. The setup also fits the broader push around AI-ready Windows laptops, since the Swift 16 AI is part of Acer’s Swift AI Copilot+ PC range built around Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors. What buyers will want next is clarity on price and real-world feel, because that’s what decides whether this turns into…

As smart home technology matures, consumers are becoming more selective about where they choose to pay a premium for. In floor care, for example, features such as automation, improved hygiene, and easier maintenance are rapidly shifting from premium extras to everyday expectations. Yet price sensitivity remains high, particularly for households juggling children, pets, and busy schedules. With two new releases, Eureka is positioning itself squarely at that intersection. The Eureka Z50 Robot Vacuum and the Eureka FloorShine 890 Wet/Dry Vacuum bring high-end features to the mid- and entry-level market. Backed by more than 115 years of vacuum engineering heritage, Eureka’s…

Drone cameras let amateur cinematographers, travelers and explorers get cinematic footage at the press of a button, and popular drone brand Potensic has just lowered the bar of how easy it is to record such videos thanks to a new unveiling at CES 2026. The Potensic Atom 2, released in early 2025, has solidified itself as a popular lightweight consumer drone, standing out for letting you record 8K or 4K HDR video footage while weighing less than 250g. This weight is an important distinction, as it classifies the Atom 2 as a mini-drone; these have more relaxed flying rules, and…
