I did n’t go toCES 2025 , and under normal portion , I would n’t leave out the 10 - hr flight clutching hand luggage pack to the brim with lip balm and moisturizer or the endless traipsing around casinos once I ’d arrived .   But watching the event from afar this year did give me more than just a stab of FOMO .

I see peer and workfellow find contraption that not only wait fun ( ordinarily the best part of CES ) but also devices Ireallywant to own in the future . Here are seven that caught my eye , along with one affair that irritated me quite a lot .

Plantaform Smart Indoor Garden

Whether it ’s my love of weird sci - fi likeSilent run , YouTube channel likeAntsCanada , or the fact I ’m frightening at think back to irrigate my indoor flora , Plantaform ’s Smart Indoor Gardenreally seize my attention .

It ’s apparently ego - cleanup and self - lacrimation , which beseem my hands - off approach shot to my poor indoor plant at the minute , and the combination of colored lighter and fog deep down will control it meets my sci - fi design expectation .

I do n’t need to spring up vegetable or herb in it , but ornamental works and flowers alternatively . I wish technical school products that are also talk pieces , and because the Smart Indoor Garden isgigantic , no one who get into my theatre will miss it .

Nekojita FuFu

Japanese robotics company Yukai Engineering makes wonderful mathematical product , from the delightfulQoobo tail cushionto the unusualAmagami Ham Ham , and I was very sad not to see its late cosmos , Nekojita FuFu , in person . In true Yukai Engineering fashion , it solve a problem you did n’t have it away you had in a very adorable way . The precious computed tomography - like robot has an internal fan that cools down hot drinks and food , and as a fan of umber , cats , and robot , I ’d quite like one , please .

LG AeroCat Tower

One thing that does worry me about the Plantaform Smart Indoor Garden is my latterly arrived kitten gain access code to it , so I will attempt to twist its care toward a new gadget made especially for it . LG ’s AeroCat Toweris an air purifier with health - trailing technical school for your cat .

There are two platform — one for sleeping and one for sitting on — that have sensors for weight and sleep tracking , and it ’s controlled using LG ’s ThinQ app . While I like the idea of multi - use gadgets , I ’m pretty certain my kitty will discount it entirely , base on how it discount most of the matter I ’ve buy it already .

Samsung Ballie

Samsung ’s orchis - shaped golem has been a mainstay of CES for several years , and plain it ’s now almost ready for release . I ’ve beenhankering after a robotic companionfor a while , and Samsung says it ’ll be out in 2025 . I knew I should have held off getting a kitten instead , just for a short while longer . Ballie is part AI comrade , part house robot , and part petsitter , so I ’m sure I ’ll still find a position for it in my life . If only it did the vacuuming , too .

Amazfit V1tal

leave privacy issues aside , theAmazfit V1talreally does seem to solve the problem of remembering to lumber your meals in a wellness app . The camera watch you eat , and the software analyzes your food breathing in before breaking it down into calories and macros in an app . I ’ve never been bothered to log my food , but I do think it would be beneficial . Get past the camera - watch - you - spadeful - food - into - your - mouth outlandishness , and the V1tal has a fortune of potential .

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6

I have absolutely no need for theLenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 , but every time I see the 14 - inch filmdom unroll to become a 16 - in improbable blind , I smile . It ’s silly , not especially helpful , and I count I ’d terminate up only using the small CRT screen after a while , but it ’s saturated CES playfulness , and everyone who see it will undoubtedly say , “ Wow ! ” It ’s apparently go to be released later this year , and I ca n’t wait to geminate it with theMotorola Rizrand live the rollable life .

PocketBook InkPoster

I have a fairly large , blank area of wall in my home that ’s cry out for some artistic production , but I ca n’t decide on what to put there . My indecision would be solved with thePocketBook InkPoster , a massive 31.3 - inch Es Ink “ poster ” that has a library of images already installed , or you’re able to use your own . It utilise a battery so there ’s no penury to hold back any wires , there ’s no backlight , and E Ink intimately replicates the look of paper , so it wo n’t look like a screen on the wall . The trouble is , the 31.3 - inch variant costs $ 1,700 and I have a touch I ’ll need two .

One thing irritated me

What list would be stark without a product that I did n’t wish ? It ’s not that IdislikeBMW ’s Panoramic iDrivedashboard ; it just disappoints me . Car interior designing center around multiple filmdom just is n’t very interesting to await at , but worse is if you remove the BMW badge from the steering wheel — there is dead nothing that says it ’s a BMW Department of the Interior at all .

Lately , car brands seem intent on strip away all the individual , define aspects consociate with them , fall back to faceless “ high - tech ” interiors that wait as boring as they do annoying to use . TheSony Honda Mobility Afeelasuffers in the same way . It ’s all forgettable , exanimate , and entirely uninspiring .

But as the home plan in elevator car I ’ll never buy are the only matter that irritated me from CES 2025 , I ’d say it looked like a jolly unspoilt show , and I was sad to overlook out on seeing all these things in person .
