Matt Binder reports: Can't choose between a flat screen or a curved monitor? Why not have both? He bent LG's new 5K2K bendable gaming monitor at CES 2025.

Mashable's own Chance Townsend got a sneak peek of Xpeng Aero HT's Land Aircraft Carrier, and climbed inside the cockpit of the vehicle's modular eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing). The carrier is basically an electric van — nicknamed "the Mothership" — that serves as transport and charger for the flying eVTOL. The two-passenger whirly-bird can travel hundreds of miles with a charge and appears relatively easy to operate via a joystick; there's also an autonomous flying option.

We're a few years off from this very expensive recreational vehicle (it should cost around $300K). Xpeng is hoping to get approval to sell the Mothership and its flying baby next year in China. But if you have real estate in China and a few hundred thousand laying around, you'll still need a Light Sport Aircraft license to get up in the air.

Another rave from CES was Evenflo's SensorySoothe smart car seat. Mashable's Haley Henschel describes it as a "first-of-its-kind car seat handle with built-in speakers and a color-changing light bar" that distracts and calms infants, while providing an alternative to baby toys that can sometimes be dangerously hurled at parents behind the wheel.

Geared toward preemies and infants from three to 30 pounds and utilized via on-device buttons, voice commands, and an app, the SensorySmooth displays calming colors and plays pleasing music that does not include "Baby Shark." Available next month, the SensorySoothe will retail in different iterations from $259 to $649.

Amidst the robots and cat purifiers, CES was also a platform for the shiniest, newest e-bikes. Segway's presentation impressed our reporters at the convention, especially the company's Xyber model. The e-bike was described as "a rugged-looking e-bike that looks like a serious racing machine, with massive tires, hydraulic brakes, and an imposing suspension system." The Xyber is fast — 0 to 20 mph in less than 3 seconds — and its powerful battery gives it 112 miles of range. The Xyber also comes complete with smart tech that offers remote monitoring, Apple Find Me support, and live health data. The Xyber retails for $2,999. Also of note, Segway's Xafari, more like a bike than the motorcycle-esque Xyber, and a bunch of awesome scooters.

For those of us waiting for CES to feature a flying car, well that's already happened. But if you've been waiting for a car that includes a helicopter, then the Xpeng Aero HT is the CES 2025 flying car reveal you need.

Featuring a "mothership" minivan and a two-person helicopter you can remove with one hand, this is a winning combo for anyone with a sense of adventure – and a lot of money. Mashable's Chance Townsend got a close look at the new vehicle and there's a lot to be excited about.

As many of us look ahead to the end of this long winter, warm weather and beach trips beckon.

Many of us like to pretend that we're going to disconnect, read a book, and listen to the waves. But our devices are never far from us, and now Anker has a way to let us maximize our time on both social media and in the sand.

The Solix Summer Beach Umbrella will allow you to charge those devices while also powering an electric cooler to keep your favorite beverages at the perfect temperature. Anker hasn't said how much the umbrella will cost, but expect it to hit shelves this year.

Meta is replacing fact-checkers with Community Notes, Cecily Mauran reports. Here's what X CEO Linda Yaccarino had to say about it at CES.

6:00 pm ET| January 7, 2025

Samsung has found a way to make flatscreen TVs new again, with The Frame TV, which hangs on the wall and makes moving and still images look like art. At this week's CES, Samsung debuted The Frame Pro, which improves upon a good thing.

Known for its unique usage of ambient light sensors that dim and matte-ify like magic, the new Frame Pro features a lighting system that utilizes Samsung's Neo QLED tech. Pricing for The Frame Pro eludes the public currently, but the pre-Pro version can be had now for less than $2K.

Robots are a staple of CES, but this year had some of the zaniest, reports Mashable's Tim Marcin. Yes, there were robots that do domestic chores like picking up trash and even doing dishes, but how about a robot that blows on your super-hot coffee? CES also featured robots with very little practical use — how about a super cute 'bot that dangles on your purse and impresses passers-by? Sure, why not.

When Dell announced the rebranding of the company's PCs at this week's CES, the reaction inspired moans and groans, Alex Perry reports. The company is phasing out names like "XPS" and "Inspiron," with every Dell machine now separated into three categories —Dell, Dell Pro, and Dell Pro Max. As noted by many in the CES audience, those names are very evocative of Apple products.

The reaction to Dell's Mac-esque news was also critiqued online, but a company spokesperson had a quick response to that response.

Of course, there are robots and laptops at CES, but what about an air purifying kitty tower? Yup, they got that too.

Utilizing a few creepily stuffed kitties, LG premiered its sleek AeroCatTower at the tech bonanza. Designed to welcome your feline with comfortable dome-shaped beds and even heating options, the AeroCatTower also cleans the air, reducing the dust and hair emitted by our whiskered friends. There's no price or release date yet, but be on the lookout for this in the future.

CES is no stranger to devices with screens that stretch, fold, or unroll.

So, it's no surprise to see Lenovo's ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable AI laptop unfurl its screen on the CES showroom floor on Tuesday.

With a flexible OLED display powered by small motors in its hinge, Mashable's Chase DiBenedetto reports the screen can expand from 14 inches to 16.7.

Reporter Haley Henschel is trying out the device today and will share more about the experience today.

Dylan Haas reports: "As the Mashable team scampers around the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week, there's one question that's top of mind every time we visit a booth or attend a demo: 'That's cool, but when can I buy it?'" He's got the answers to your burning question.

At the Nvidia keynote at CES 2025, CEO Jensen Huang didn't waste anytime showing off the new GeForce RTX 50 Series. Huang walked onstage carrying the graphics card to a round of applause, Mashable's Cecily Mauran reports.

This was the most anticipated moment of the Nvidia event, but not the only big announcement. The AI computing company integral to the rise of generative AI had many more cards to play at the Las Vegas tech conference. Nvidia is now building its own AI models, fueling robotics and autonomous vehicle development, and bringing some of the most powerful computing tools to the masses, Mauran writes. Here's everything that was announced at the Nvidia keynote.
