CES 2025 has come and gone, but the memories of the weird and wonderful gadgets on display will linger on for a long time. As we scoured the show floor, we stumbled upon some truly bizarre innovations that left us scratching our heads in awe.
First off, there’s the Mecha Systems Comet, a robot that’s part laptop, part companion robot, with a starting price of $160. Its modular design allows users to customize their own control panels and interfaces, making it an attractive option for hobbyists and engineers alike.
But if you thought robots were weird enough, wait till you see Jizai Mi-Mo, a humanoid AI robot that looks eerily like the Pixar lamp from Toy Story. Described as a “general-purpose AI robot,” it can recognize voices and images using multiple large language models, but its primary function seems to be reminding kids to do their homework – not exactly the most exciting use case.
In other news, we have the AirStudio One, a 2-in-1 gadget that combines a wireless condenser microphone with true wireless headphones. This thing is like something out of a sci-fi movie, and we can’t help but wonder if it’s a game-changer for musicians on-the-go.
The real showstopper, however, has got to be the SwitchBot K20+ Pro robot vacuum that doubles as a delivery bot. With its built-in stand, it can carry all sorts of attachments – air purifiers, tablets, you name it – and even deliver snacks and drinks. Sounds like the ultimate life hack, right? We’re still waiting on pricing details.
For those who prefer their tech to be a bit more… grounded, there’s Haus.me microhaus Pro – a 120-square-foot tiny home that can be placed just about anywhere. Yes, you read that right. It’s like a tiny, futuristic cabin that’ll set you back $35,000, but hey, it’s a home.
On the gaming front, we have Govee’s Gaming Pixel Light, a programmable, chatbot-powered display that lets you describe what kind of light show you want and voila! Your very own unique pixel art. It might not change the world, but it’s certainly an interesting party trick. The price tag? A whopping $100.
And finally, because we all needed something to make us go “huh,” MSI showed off their Mag Coreliquid A13 concept CPU water block with a built-in turntable. That’s right – you read that correctly. It’s got a cute spinning table that can spin around a dragon figure (which doesn’t come included, unfortunately). There are no plans to put this thing into production, but boy, was it a showstopper.
In conclusion, CES 2025 has left us with more questions than answers – like, why do we need a turntable in our CPU cooler? Or how exactly do you deliver snacks and drinks using a robot vacuum? It’s been a wild ride this year, folks.
