CES isn’t just a tech show — it’s where tomorrow’s gadgets come to show off and occasionally leave us wondering: “why didn’t we think of that?”
From rollable laptops to solar-powered cloaks, here are the head-turners that caught our attention at MONIIFY this year.
A robo vacuum that picks up your socks
Roborock’s Saros Z70 is multitasking, not just vacuuming. Equipped with OmniGrip, a robotic arm that (slowly) picks up stray socks and shoes, this bot can tackle clutter one item at a time.
It is limited to objects under 300gm for now, but future updates promise heavier lifting and teddy bear tracking. Roborock has kept a lid on the price but it’s rolling out in June.
The pop-up toaster for your phone
Charging your phone in two seconds? Meet the Swippitt Hub, a sleek toaster-like device that swaps out your phone’s drained battery case for a fresh one.
It’s a clever system of swappable batteries that fit custom cases. Priced at $570 (with five batteries included), it launches this June, supporting iPhones first, with Samsung models to follow.
The only wall art you’ll ever need
E-paper meets elegance in the InkPoster, a digital photo frame that only needs charging once a year.
Powered by the latest technology from E Ink — the company that powers display on premium e-readers — these wall-mounted frames deliver the widest color range ever seen on an e-paper screen.
It’s easier on the eyes than traditional screens and ideal for bedrooms. The frames come in three sizes and pair with an app for uploading or choosing artwork. Pricing and shipping? Still a mystery.
The roll-up laptop
Folding screens is a thing of the past — they roll up now. If you go by the tech press, Lenovo’s ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 is the biggest head-turner at CES this time.
Its OLED display rolls up from 14 inches to 16.7 inches vertically, making multitasking or scrolling documents smoother. Powered by Intel Core Ultra 7 processors and priced at $3,500, it’s a tech flex for now, but whether you need it is another question.
A camera for birds, bugs, and plant geeks
Bird Buddy’s Petal Camera is a nature lover’s dream. With 4K video, AI plant and bug identification, and solar-powered petals, it’s perfect for remote setups or capturing bird-and-bee drama.
For a closer look at the wild, this is your gadget. But you might also want to check out Bird Buddy’s CES hit from last year: a bird feeder that records your feathered visitors mid-peck.
BONUS: Solar powered beach umbrellas and cloaks
Anker, known for its reliable power banks and phone cables, is getting adventurous.
Its Solix Solar Beach Umbrella blends function and eco-friendliness, with perovskite solar cells charging gadgets and powering a portable fridge indefinitely.
Their solar cloak? Maybe less practical for fashion but just as ambitious. Perfect for the beach — or the eco-conscious Jedi in you.
