IntheNews.tv What's Trending in the news today
As the Mashable team scampered around CES 2025 in Las Vegas earlier this month, we had one top-of-mind question every time we visited a booth or attended a demo: “That’s cool, but when can I buy it?”
A lot of times, the answer is never. Many gadgets exhibited at the annual tech industry trade show are just concepts and prototypes that don’t make it to market. (That Withings OMNIA smart mirror for at-home health screenings, for instance? Yeah, there’s a good chance it’ll never see the light of day.)
But sometimes the answer to that question is soon — or even now. Below, we’ve rounded up a list of 22 new products from CES 2025 that consumers can buy or preorder immediately, from a smart planter that waters your garden with fog to an ultralight Copilot+ PC that will give Apple’s MacBook Air a run for its money. We’ve also thrown in one honorable mention for a viral product that’s finally up for grabs after debuting at CES 2024.
1. Dreame X50 Ultra
Read Mashable’s CES coverage of the Dreame X50 Ultra.
It’s a Jetsons dream to have a house run by robots. While we get closer each day, with smart speakers, lights, and thermostats, the Chinese tech company, Dreame, is pushing us even closer. While robot vacuums already feel like the peak of technology, now the Dreame X50 Ultra is a robot vacuum that climbs stairs… kind of. While that’s the big selling point being pushed by the brand, in reality, the robot vacuum actually just navigates thresholds of about two inches. While we didn’t get to test it at CES 2025 due to WiFi issues, the specs on this device look promising.
Right now, you can preorder the Dreame X50 Ultra vacuum prior to its release. Dreame is offering special early bird savings when you pay $39 for a $390 coupon. That reduces the price of the climbing robot vacuum to $1,309.99.

2. Anker Charger (140W, 4-Port, PD 3.1)
CES usually makes headlines for hosting grand (and sometimes straight-up weird) innovations. But that can leave the small stuff in the dust, like the Anker 140W 4-port charger. This charger charges not just one, not just two, but four devices at a time with three USB-C ports and one USB-A port. Plus, it can simultaneously charge two laptops at a time: You can charge a 16-inch Apple MacBook Pro or 15-inch MacBook Air by up to 50 percent in just 25 to 30 minutes. It’s available to preorder now; the Anker website says it will ship out between Jan. 18 and 20.

In addition to its 4-port charger, Anker also debuted a new power bank at CES. It comes with two retractable USB-C cords that can simultaneously charge a MacBook and other devices. In addition to its two included cables, the power bank also has another USB-C as well as a USB-A port. It has a 25,000mAh capacity, and it’s quick charging, getting devices up to the 50 percent mark in as little as 25 minutes. You can preorder it now.

3. LeafyPod
Got a finicky pothos that acts like it’s perpetually under- or overwatered? The LeafyPod is an AI-powered smart planter designed to tell you exactly what it needs to thrive. It features environmental sensors that keep tabs on soil moisture, light, temperature, and humidity levels, and its built-in rainfall-esque watering system can change its schedule based on the plant’s current condition. (Its companion app features care info and watering schedules for over 100 common houseplants.) Also nice: There are no cords, so it looks just like a regular planter. Preordering a starter kit with one LeafyPod Planter and a LeafyPod Bridge for connecting it to WiFi saves you 25%, and shipping is targeted for April.

4. Lymow One
You’ve heard of the robot vacuum and the robot mop, but a new challenger is about to enter the arena: The robot lawnmower. If you’re lucky enough to even have a yard in this economy, one of your least favorite chores is most likely mowing your lawn manually. The Lymow One is an all-terrain model for large yards (up to 1.75 acres) that features mulching blades and tracked treads for scaling slopes as steep as 45 degrees. It can also detect and avoid obstacles. While there’s no exact release date just yet, you can back the Lymow One on Kickstarter as we speak.

5. XREAL One Pro AR glasses
Augmented reality is still in the “early adopter” phase in terms of audience and widespread utility, but if you’re looking to dip your toes in nonetheless, XREAL’s new One Pro AR glasses seem to be the new standard. The recently upgraded wearable has a speedier chipset with the XREAL X1, as well as a larger FOV, higher max brightness, and a more lightweight design compared to its predecessor. You can pre-order the XREAL One Pro AR glasses right now — they’ll run you $599 and are expected to ship out in March 2025.

6. Birdfy Bath Pro
This camera-equipped smart bird bath does pretty much what you’d expect it to do: It allows you to check in on your avian friends as they use your bird bath to freshen up. How adorable! It comes with two different lenses — a wide angle and auto-tracking version — and has the option for an AI analysis add-on that’s supposed to recognize repeat visitors and take highlight photos. The Birdfy Bath Pro is currently up for preorder starting at $249.99 and is slated to ship out in March 2025. P.s. You can score $50 off if you preorder now.

JLab’s latest ANC headphones are here in the Epic Lux Lab Edition. Joining the likes of Apple AirPods and the Bose QuietComfort line, the Lab Editions feature Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation and an Aware mode.

The JLab Epic Lux Lab Edition ANC headphones are priced at $199.99 and should ship in mid-February.

8. Loona PETBOT
Read Mashable’s CES coverage of the Loona PETBOT.
This is not a drill: Loona, the cutest robot at CES (by a long shot), is already available for purchase. The AI petbot powered by ChatGPT may at first glance appear like another robot trying to imitate a dog, but it does more than imitate wanting pets: “It can respond to commands, expressions, and gestures; recognize different people’s faces; adapt to its owners’ habits; monitor their home when they’re away via a companion mobile app; and answer queries conversationally,” wrote Senior Shopping Reporter Haley Henschel. Bonus: You can accessorize her with little knit outfits.

9. TCL QM6K QD-Mini LED QLED 4K TVs
TCL released a new line of smart TVs on Jan. 6 called the QM6K. It’s the first release in the brand’s “Precise Dimming Series,” which claims to deliver a picture quality unseen before in these TVs’ price bracket. Several processing advancements come together to create the picture quality in what TCL is deeming the “Halo Control System,” alongside a 144Hz native refresh rate, Dolby Vision IQ and Dolby Atmos Support, and new modes like Dolby Vision Filmmaker mode and Sleep Sounds mode. The TV will come in six sizes: a 50-inch for $749.99, 55-inch for $799.99, 65-inch for $999.99, 75-inch for $1,299.99, 85-inch for $1,999.99, and a 98-inch for $3,499.99. So far, the 65-, 75-, and 85-inch TVs are available for preorder on TCL’s website.

10. Shokz OpenFit 2
Shokz OpenFit earbuds are already a popular pick for those interested in an open-ear concept, but the latest iteration of the earbuds comes with some nice improvements. First off, you’ll get 11 hours of battery life per charge and 48 with the case — a good deal more than the seven hours per charge and 28 hours you’d get on the first generation. Along with that impressive battery, these earbuds come packed with new drivers, multifunction buttons, and the ability to switch between two connected devices with the press of a button. Best of all? They’re already available on Amazon for $179.95, the same price as first-generation version (and just $20 more than their current sale price).

11. Govee Mini Panel Lights
Interested in customizable smart lighting but aren’t quite into paying Philips Hue prices? Govee is your brand. Though they’ve long been making products targeted at the budget Hue audience, the new Mini Panel Lights announced at CES are anything but an obvious budget choice. The curved lampshade and 15 lamp beads help create a three-dimensional effect, while AI helps ease the process of setup and creating unique designs.

12. Elvie Rise
CES innovations are infiltrating every room in the house, including your baby’s nursery. The Elvie Rise is a smart baby bouncer and bassinet that’s app-controlled to give parents some hands-free time. It has “SootheLoop” technology that remembers and repeats the bounce you input into the device, so you can customize the bouncing to your baby’s needs. It also offers a manual bounce mode so as your baby grows, they can bounce themselves.
The Elvie Rise is priced at $799.99. The first batch of preorders was sold out at the time of writing, but another round is forthcoming, according to the brand’s website, where you can sign up for the waitlist.

13. Dell Pro laptops
Dell has fully renamed its laptop lineup, and some of its new “Dell Pro” models are already available for purchase. Despite the similar naming conventions to Apple, Dell Pro laptops aren’t necessarily for users looking for a little more power. Instead, these laptops are suited for business users. The new options in the line include the Dell Pro 13 Premium, the Dell Pro 14 Premium (with a tandem OLED display), the Dell Pro 16 Plus, and the Dell Pro 14 Plus.

14. Asus Zenbook A14
Read Mashable’s hands-on review of the Asus Zenbook A14.
The Asus Zenbook A14 is the world’s lightest Copilot+ PC, weighing as little as 2.18 pounds (depending on the configuration) — and it’s surprisingly sturdy despite its svelte frame. Asus made it using a durable magnesium-aluminum alloy called “Ceraluminum” that’s shock resistant, scratch resistant, and recyclable. It supposedly offers up to 32 hours of battery life per charge, though we’ll have to test the model ourselves to verify.
The Zenbook A14 comes in two neutral finishes called Zabriskie beige and Iceland gray, and the latter model just hit the market at $1,099.99. (It was out of stock on the Asus website the last time we checked, but you can sign up for in-stock notifications.) It’s loaded with a new Snapdragon X processor, 32GB of memory, and 1TB of storage.

15. Razer Aether Standing Light Bars
Upgrade your gaming station with Razer’s flashy new vertical light bars, which support millions of colors and a bunch of cool RGB lighting effects. (You can sync them with your gameplay or just have them project different hues for the vibes.) They’re compatible with Matter and voice assistants, and they’re both powered by a single USB-C cable to minimize cord clutter.

16. Lenovo Legion Go S
The successor to Lenovo’s original Legion Go handheld gaming PC from 2023 has an AMD Ryzen Z2 Go processor, non-detachable controllers, a smaller (8-inch) FHD display, and a lower starting price. You can think of it as a Legion Go Lite. One model will bring support for SteamOS, making it the only other handheld that runs on Steam besides Valve’s Steam Deck. That configuration isn’t available for purchase just yet — it’ll go for $499.99 in May — but you can now preorder a beefed-up Windows variant with 32GB of memory and 1TB of storage for $729.99 at Best Buy. It’s set for launch sometime later this month.

17. Plantaform
Read Mashable’s CES coverage of the Plantaform.
The Plantaform isn’t your average smart indoor garden: It waters plants using cool-looking “fogponics” technology that NASA originally developed to grow stuff in space. With room for up to 15 plants, it uses 30 to 50 percent less water than hydroponic setups and features a handy self-cleaning mode. It comes with a free Lettuce Mix plant pod pack to get you started; other packs that contain herbs, edible flowers, and cherry tomatoes are available for separate purchase for $29.99 apiece. By the end of the year, though, you’ll be able to use the Plantaform with your own seeds.

18. Ohsnap MCON
Read Mashable’s hands-on review of the Ohsnap MCON.
Deemed “the coolest MagSafe accessory to date” by Mashable Contributor Christian de Looper, the MCON is a mobile gaming controller that snaps to the back of your phone. It sits flush against the back of the device when not in use, then slides out when you’re ready to play, revealing full-size Hall Effect joysticks, buttons, and a D-pad. “I found that it felt very natural despite its small and compact size,” de Looper wrote. Set for an August release, you can back it on Kickstarter now: $119 gets you one of the first units at a slight discount.

19. Ozlo Sleepbuds
These new sleep earbuds designed by former Bose engineers do more than just block the sounds of a snoring partner. They come equipped with biometric sensors that can detect when you fall asleep, pausing your audiobook or music when you drift off, and they have an in-ear alarm that only the wearer can hear. What’s more, their smart case is capable of monitoring the conditions of your bedroom (including light, noise, and temperature) to produce a custom report about any potential sleep interruptions you may not be aware of.

20. Chamelo Aura sunglasses
The Chamelo Aura were “CES 2025’s most practical smart glasses,” according to Tech Reporter Matt Binder: You can change the color and level of tint of their lenses with the touch of a button. Simple but snazzy.

21. HMD Offgrid
Satellite connectivity can be a literal life-saver in emergency situations, but it’s only available in newer devices like the iPhone 16. Enter: the Offgrid, a satellite tag that makes older phones capable of location sharing and sending messages (via the Offgrid app) without a cell signal. There’s also a built-in SOS button. Note that you’ll need an HMD messaging plan for it to work; subscriptions start at $79.99 and require an activation fee.

22. Formovie Theater Premium
Formovie’s latest projector can level up any home theater setup. It offers up to 2200 ISO lumens of brightness and a projected screen size of up to 150 inches, and it will soon support 3D. There’s also a built-in Google TV and two second-generation Bowers & Wilkins speakers. It’s priced the same as its predecessor, the Formovie Theater (no “Premium”), which had a shorter throw ratio, no 3D support, and 1800 ISO lumens of brightness. However, it’s currently on sale for $700 off, which brings its sky-high price down to a slightly more palatable $2,799.
