CES has always been the ultimate playground for futuristic gadgets and innovative technology. Despite the unfortunate timing right after the holidays—which cuts short vacation time for many in the industry—I still find myself eagerly anticipating this show each year. CES 2025 was no exception, with standout innovations in AI, fitness and health tech, personal computing, and robotics.

This time, I’m skipping the usual Product of the Week because frankly, each item on this list could easily take the crown. They’re all unique in their own way, making it impossible to pick just one winner.

Let’s kick things off with the product I want the most.

Bodyfriend 733 Massage Chair

I already own a massage chair and have massage seats in my car, so I’m a fan. But nothing I’ve tried comes close to what the Bodyfriend 733 offers. If you’ve got $20,000 to spare, this chair could change your life—especially if you’re feeling the years creep up on you.

It looks like a cross between a yellow recliner and a Transformer, and it’s not just for luxury relaxation. This chair offers real physical therapy benefits, with AI-driven routines that enhance flexibility, mobility, and circulation. With 50 automatic programs, it combines massage, heating, and targeted pressure to simulate hand therapy. It’s as close as you can get to a personal physical therapist at home—and a lot less painful than the real thing.

Definitely at the top of my 2025 wish list.

Lenovo Legion Go S – 8” Gaming Handheld

Lenovo’s innovation game is strong this year. One standout is the Legion Go S, an 8-inch handheld gaming PC powered by AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Go chip with integrated RDNA graphics.

Available for $749 (pre-order at Best Buy), it packs dual USB-C 4.0 ports, runs full Windows 11, and even supports external GPUs—making it surprisingly capable for high-end gaming. You won’t find a camera, but it does include mics and speakers. That said, use headphones if you’re gaming on a plane unless you want to make an early exit.

It’s also impressively versatile, allowing quick switching between PC, Xbox, and Steam games. A more affordable $599 model with reduced memory is coming in May, though the $130 upgrade for the extra RAM is well worth it.

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable

While foldable displays are now common on smartphones, Lenovo is pioneering rollable screens in laptops. The new ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 starts with a 14-inch display that expands vertically to 16.7 inches—ideal for those who need extra screen space on the go.

It weighs under 4 pounds (1.7 kg), uses Intel’s Core Ultra processors, and supports Microsoft Copilot+. With a price tag of around $3,500, it’s not cheap—but the productivity gains (and wow factor) could justify the investment. Just don’t expect to use the roll-up feature in a cramped airplane seat.

This is the PC I want in my 2025 gear bag.

Nvidia Project Digits – Grace Blackwell AI Supercomputer

Nvidia made a huge splash at CES with a keynote focused on AI, robotics, and autonomous vehicles. But the real showstopper? Project Digits—a personal AI supercomputer unlike anything we’ve seen.

Despite being the size of a Lord of the Rings paperback, this compact system delivers a petaflop of FP4 performance, powered by an Arm CPU and Nvidia’s cutting-edge Blackwell GPU. With 128GB of unified memory and up to 4TB of NVMe storage, it’s built for serious AI workloads.

Running on Nvidia’s custom Linux-based DBX OS, this desktop powerhouse is designed for developing, prototyping, and training AI models, including Omniverse simulations. It won’t run your favorite PC games—but if you’re building the future of AI, it belongs on your desk. Pricing starts around $3,000.

Frankly, I think they should have named it AWESOME (AI Workstation Engineering System Operative Manufacturing Engine), but “Digits” will do for now.

Tombot Jennie – The Robotic Puppy

Aging can be lonely, and caring for pets becomes harder over time. Enter Jennie, the robotic puppy from Tombot—a realistic-looking and -feeling companion designed to offer comfort without the responsibilities of real pet care.

Jennie responds to voice commands, has lifelike movements and sounds, and includes interactive sensors. She doesn’t require feeding, walking, or cleaning up after—just companionship. Ideal for seniors or anyone who wants a loyal little friend without the long-term worries.

Final Thoughts

CES 2025 was packed with innovation. I haven’t even mentioned the flying cars and autonomous vehicles (most of which won’t hit the market for a while). From robots that help with rehab and fitness to PCs built for gaming and AI development, this year’s event was a glimpse into a rapidly approaching future.

I can’t wait to see what CES 2026 brings—though hopefully without any appearances by Skynet. If you know where John Connor is, maybe give him a heads-up. It might be time to get ready.
