Dell 2-in-1 Laptops
Dell introduced several convertible laptops this year, and the most notable include its Latitude 7285 and new XPS 13 models. The former is a Surface Pro 4 rival that includes a sharp screen, stylus, and a sturdy keyboard that more closely resembles that of a laptop than most hybrids. The latter is an updated version of Dell's already great XPS 13 that includes a flexible rotating hinge for use in different positions.
Lenovo Smart Assistant
Lenovo's new speaker is a slightly cheaper and more colorful alternative to the Amazon Echo. It includes eight microphones that Lenovo says can pick up speech from 16 feet away. It's also powered by Amazon's Alexa voice assistant, meaning you'll get access to the same array of "skills" that you would with Amazon's own gadget. Similarly, Lenovo is touting the Smart Assistant as ideal for tasks like answering questions, managing calendars and to-do lists, and playing music. It launches this May in several colors and will cost $130 for the standard model and $180 for a version with upgraded Harman Kardon speakers.
Razer Project Valerie
When you're using a laptop for doing work, playing video games, and streaming Netflix, one screen isn't always enough. So why not include three? Razer's Project Valerie concept does just that by adding two foldable displays that expand out from the primary screen in the center. Each display is 17 inches diagonally and supports 4K resolution, and Razer says they can be used independently or together as one giant display. The downside: it weighs 12 pounds, which isn't unacceptable for a beefy gaming laptop but is way more than the average notebook.
Asus Zenfone AR
Asus is betting that in the near future we'll be using our phones for way more than hailing Ubers, playing games, and video chatting. The Zenfone AR, as its name implies, is built to provide augmented and virtual reality experiences. It supports two platforms created by Google to enable these technologies: Tango and Daydream, meaning its hardware is tailored to track motion, perceive depth, and learn about its surroundings to run AR and VR apps.
Toyota Concept-i
Toyota doesn't believe the future of the car is only about teaching vehicles to drive for us. While the Concept-i vehicle shown at CES would be capable of driving autonomously, its biggest draw is the artificial intelligence that powers it. Toyota claims the car will be able to learn more about the drivers' preferences and needs over time, such as suggesting destinations after a driver chats with the vehicle's virtual assistant, called "Yui."
PowerRay Aquatic Drone
PowerVision's new PowerRay drone sounds like a fisherman's dream. The waterproof vehicle is compatible with an optional FishFinder add-on that uses a sonar system to detect fish and send images to the user. It operates in both fresh and salt water and includes a 4K camera that can shoot 12-megapixel stills.
Mattel Aristotle
Mattel's Aristotle is like a smart baby monitor and Amazon Echo rolled into one. The smart voice-activated speaker works with a companion camera and is intended to help with tasks like soothing a crying baby, buying more diapers, encouraging kids to mind their manners, or helping them learn a foreign language.
Mohu Airwave
While cord-cutting has improved the binge-watching experience in many ways, its Achilles heel has always been its lack of local broadcast TV offerings. Antenna maker Mohu hopes to address this with its new Airwave, a $150 wireless antenna that brings local channels to platforms like Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Android, and iOS. It makes live TV viewable through an app, making it possible to access in the same way you would Netflix or Hulu
While some laptop and desktop computers are designed to be customized and upgraded, Intel is thinking about how we'll be upgrading the various Internet-connected home appliances and robots we may own in the future. Intel's Compute Card, which is about the size of a credit card, is a mini-computer designed to be easily inserted into smart devices. The idea is to make upgrading gadgets like smart refrigerators, interactive retail kiosks, and connected security cameras as easy as swapping out one component. This prevents the need to buy an entirely new system once new standards in connectivity or faster processors are released. The computer includes essentially all of the same aspects of a standard-sized computer, including a processor, memory, storage, and wireless tech

Pup Smart Scanner:
Using a scanner is usually not the most user-friendly experience you'll ever have. Since you'll have to find your scanner, which is probably under about 5 boxes. You then have to connect it to your computer, which the drivers are probably either not installed or out of date. Then you have to put each individual document you want to scan into the device and wait about 2 minutes each. The Pup is a super simple scanner that works just like a camera, and takes just seconds to scan each item you want digitized. How it works is, you select the settings beforehand on how you'd like to scan it, and what you'd like to do with it once it's scanned, then you hold the Pup Smart Scanner above what you'd like to scan, and lasers will square off and show you exactly what you're about to scan. Then just press the button to initiate the scan, and a flash will illuminate the document, and it will scan it within seconds. Perfect for keeping your child's dr
What is Muzo?
Using Billion Sound Technology (BST), the Muzo smart acoustic device attaches to any smooth surface and generates dynamic, realistic sounds, while promising to cancel vibration and outside noise. This way, the company claims that Muzo can turn almost anything into a crystal clear acoustic environment, including windows, walls, and desks and other furniture; improve the quality of your sleep, and even help protect your speech privacy. And it promises to do all of this over three steps: Position Muzo toward the noise and reposition if needed. Gently press the large button on the surface to select your ambient noise (or, use the noise-canceling technology by itself). Rotate the button to adjust soundtrack volume. Together, the company tells us that Muzo’s noise-blocking technology can create a “personal zone creator” that can work as an alternative to sleep aids and costly sound machines. Muzo sure sounds cool, but is it worth the money? Is it even a feasible concept? W
GOOGLE WIND
GOOGLE WIND Google has made umpteen numbers of things possible for us with just one click. We have access to Google maps and getting accurate weather conditions along with answering any question for us all on our smartphones. Now Google has gone one step further has done something completely unbelievable and extraordinary. While weather predictions help us prepare ourselves against a potential cyclone or storm or massive blizzards, a new Google project has set its eyes to go one step further. Now, Google has announced his latest project ‘Google Wind’, with this project the company claims to be able to change the direction of winds, keep a tab on rainfall and control the weather in Netherlands through repurposing the country’s old windmills. The Google Cloud Platform team in Netherlands came up with the novel idea of ‘Google Wind’. Netherlands is known for its tulips and windmills and has a moist climate where it rains 145 days a year. There are not many sunny days in th
