00:00CES 2025 delivered the most jaw-dropping tech
00:02that we've seen yet.
00:03Laptops with rollable screens,
00:05TVs that look better than ever,
00:06and smart rings that could revolutionize wearable tech.
00:09Let's check out some of the best gadgets
00:10that the Tom's Guide team saw here on the show floor.
00:13Starting off with a product that might look like a concept,
00:15but is something you'll actually be able to buy.
00:18The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6
00:20is the world's first rollable laptop,
00:23meaning that with a press of a button,
00:24the OLED display expands from 14 inches
00:26to a roomy 16.7 inches.
00:29This can really come in clutch
00:31when you're reading long documents
00:32or multitasking with apps stacked vertically.
00:35Add to that the latest Intel Core Ultra processor,
00:37Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, and a host of AI features built in,
00:41and you've got a multitasking powerhouse.
00:43Sure, the $34.99 price tag is steep,
00:46but for cutting-edge innovation,
00:47it's hard to beat and the device
00:49that we're probably most excited to testing out ourselves.
00:52The Samsung Frame has always been the TV
00:54for people who hate how TVs look,
00:56but the all-new Frame Pro is for people
00:58who also care about picture quality.
01:00The biggest upgrades compared to the regular Frame TV
01:02is a Neo QLED display for brighter and better visuals,
01:06as well as the new Wireless One Connect box
01:08that eliminates cable clutter completely.
01:10This means you'll get stunning picture quality
01:12and a perfectly clean aesthetic.
01:14Whether it's on or off,
01:15this TV feels like a natural part of your decor
01:18without making you compromise on movie nights.
01:20It's clear to us that Samsung gives the Frame Pro
01:22to remind us why it's still the leader
01:24in the art TV category.
01:26Not gonna lie, when we first heard
01:27LG ditched MLA technology on its flagship G-Series OLED,
01:31we got a little nervous.
01:32But it's looking like the switch
01:33to a new four-stack OLED panel will pay off spectacularly.
01:37In checking out the LG G5 in person,
01:39we saw even brighter, more colorful visuals
01:41than its predecessors,
01:43with especially impressive contrasts
01:44that stood out above every other consumer-ready TV
01:47we saw at CES.
01:49But this 165-hertz TV isn't just a visual marvel.
01:52It's packed with AI and the latest gaming specs,
01:55all wrapped in an elegant, ultra-thin design.
01:57It's the kind of TV that makes you think twice
01:59before turning it off
02:00because even its mini-screen looks that good.
02:02Speaking of looking good,
02:03L'Oreal's Cell BioPrint system
02:05isn't just another skincare gadget you see on social media.
02:08It's a revolution in personal care.
02:11Using microfluidic tech,
02:12this device analyzes specific proteins
02:14in your dead skin cells to diagnose your current complexion
02:17and predict potential issues you'll face in the future.
02:20From there, it creates a science-backed plan
02:23tailored specifically to your skin's needs.
02:26So you can forget about generic product recommendations.
02:27This system delivers real, actionable solutions
02:30with detailed ingredient information.
02:33And for us, it's the kind of breakthrough
02:34that could change how we approach
02:35personalizing skincare entirely.
02:38We've seen a lot of gaming handhelds at CES,
02:40but if there's one that's leveled up the category entirely,
02:43it's probably the Lenovo Legion Go S.
02:45Unlike most competitors, it runs SteamOS out of the box,
02:48giving you instant access to your Steam library.
02:51But if you wanna stick with Windows,
02:52there's a model for that too,
02:53but it'll cost $100 more.
02:55The smaller unibody design
02:57ditches the detachable controllers
02:58for a sleeker and more portable form factor,
03:01which a lot of people will appreciate.
03:03With a new D-pad and trigger locks,
03:05it's perfect for everything from fighting games
03:07to first-person shooters.
03:09Starting at just $499 for the SteamOS model,
03:11it's not just a great handheld.
03:13It's positioned to be the one to beat in 2025.
03:16Smart rings are another category that took over CES 2025,
03:19and the Circular Ring 2 is leading that charge.
03:22It's the first major smart ring
03:23to ditch the annoying sizing kits
03:25with a fully digital sizing process
03:27you can do from basically anywhere using just a credit card.
03:30It also packs groundbreaking health tech,
03:32like an onboard ECG sensor and FDA-approved AFib detection,
03:37all in a very sleek subscription-free package,
03:39which is a big deal.
03:40And I can already hear a lot of people saying,
03:42take that, Aura.
03:44The Circular Ring 2 starts at $380,
03:46works with both Apple and Android,
03:48and has a whopping eight days of battery life.
03:51If you've been hesitant about wearables
03:52or are getting tired of your smartwatch
03:54or other fitness trackers,
03:55keep an eye out for the Circular Ring 2 launch
03:57later this year.
03:59Why settle for a monitor that's just for gaming?
04:01With the HP Omen 32X, you don't need to.
04:04Our favorite gaming monitor from CES 2025
04:06looks to blur the line between work, play, and streaming.
04:10At a glance, it's a gaming monitor
04:11with a 32-inch 4K display and smooth 144Hz refresh rate,
04:16which is perfect for all your favorite fast-paced games.
04:18But its biggest trick up its sleeve,
04:20it also doubles as a Google Smart TV,
04:22letting you relax and watch your favorite shows or movies.
04:25Add Android Casting and DeX Mode for productivity,
04:28and you've got a versatile monitor
04:29that fits into every room and part of your day.
04:32So from rollable laptops to smarter wearables
04:34and TVs that double as art,
