AI also found its way into personal gadgets, such as the Lili Dyslexia-Friendly Monitor, designed to ease reading for people with dyslexia. The monitor enhances text comprehension by emitting subtle light flashes, demonstrating how technology can address unique challenges.
Revolutionary Gaming Laptops and Handhelds
AMD showed its Ryzen 9950X3D and 9000HX Series for desktops and laptops, engineered for immersive gaming with extended battery life. AMD was not neglecting the portable gamer, however; it presented the Ryzen Z2 Series of gaming chips to enable handheld console-quality gaming on-the-go.
New Smart TVs and AI
Samsung and LG each displayed their latest OLED and QLED TVs that can be used with AI for smart viewing, including features such as adaptive audio-visual settings, content recommendation, and a Copilot+ from Microsoft, which means the concepts of entertainment and AI-driven productivity have become juxtaposed.

Sleek Accessories for Everyday Use
The Mac Mini stand hub was also unveiled at CES 2025, providing more storage, as well as a convenient way to get access to the otherwise hideous power button. Its practical design does not trade off style with usability.
CES 2025 is far from disappointing for tech enthusiasts, with everything ranging from sustainability to AI integration, and interesting hardware. The rest of this event promises more earth-shattering announcements that will further define the future of technology.
