Best Tech of CES 2020

by the Mashable staff

Sometimes, CES is stupid. Nobody needs a $13,000 gaming chair. And the world definitely doesn’t need an Alexa-powered Coca-Cola Energy wall.

But at CES 2020, there was some cool stuff too, like a way-too-personal dinner with HBO's Westworld and the discovery that smart pajamas are now a thing.

So after days of scouring the convention halls and hotel suites of Las Vegas, the Mashable staff presents the very best tech of CES 2020.

Fisker Ocean

Most of the cars big companies like Mercedes, Audi, and now even Sony show off at CES are just concepts. Not the Fisker Ocean. The electric SUV made its debut this year with a production-ready prototype featuring a solar roof, carpeting and seating made from recycled materials, and karaoke mode. Fisker claims the five-seater will start under $40,000 and you’ll be able to drive the Tesla competitor in 2022.

The Galaxy Chromebook, available in a stunning red, is a beautiful machine on the outside and inside. The 2-in-1 laptop has a 4K display, latest 10th-generation Intel Core processor, and up to 1TB of storage. It's also Samsung's thinnest Chromebook, yet.

If you've always wanted to build your own PC, but have never been sure where to start, Razer's Tomahawk Gaming Desktop offers a clever compromise for those who want the flexibility of a DIY job without hours of work. The Tomahawk has a unique, modular design that even novices will be able to disassemble in a matter of seconds. And, since each component is easily swappable and upgradable, it's a PC you'll be able to keep around for a long time. It doesn't hurt that it looks pretty damn cool.

LG Display bendable and rollable TVs

In a year when seemingly every company is tinkering with bendable, foldable screens, LG Display's bendable TV concepts were mind-blowingly cool. The display tech company is experimenting with OLED TVs that can bend and roll with the push of a button, so you can have a curved set when you want it, and a flat one when you don't. It's not yet clear if the technology will make its way to actual TVs you can buy, but you will be able to get the LG roll-up TV that debuted at last year's CES in 2020.

Impossible Foods

First, meatless Impossible Burgers took the world by storm. (These days you can even find them at Burger King.) At CES 2020, Impossible Foods dropped its next product: Impossible Pork. Great news if you’re a vegetarian or just want to reduce the amount of meat you eat, an important part of fighting climate change.

The Withings ScanWatch comes equipped with an ECG sensor, continuous heart-rate monitoring, and an SpO2 sensor. The watch works around the clock to monitor your heart rate for signs of arrhythmia during the day and sleep apnea at night—all while boasting 30 days of battery life. And, at $249, it's literally half the price of the Apple Watch Series 5.

The ThinkPad X1 Fold has a 13.3-inch foldable display, a built-in stylus, and a Bluetooth keyboard packed into a compact form factor. While it comes at a steep price, it's super versatile. With this foldable PC in your bag, you can switch between tablet, laptop, or even full desktop mode within seconds.

With an electrochromic glass panel on the back that switches between opaque and transparent with the touch of a button, the quad cameras underneath only appear when you need them. While the phone not going into production, let's at least hope the disappearing cameras inspire future smartphone designs. That way, we can finally get rid of those ugly camera bumps.

The first generation of this biofeedback vibrator was one of our favorite high-tech sex toys for a reason. While the new Gen 2 is more of a massive firmware update, it greatly improves upon the core concept, giving folks with vaginas the ability to understand and track their orgasms through detailed data. Its applications are endless, a potential game-changer in both clinical and personal settings. 

The vertical Samsung Sero is quite possibly the strangest TV we saw at CES. But in a world where most content is filmed on our phones, it makes sense. With the ability to flip the TV between landscape and portrait mode, you can eliminate having to see those annoying black bars at the top and bottom of the content you're watching. And, since it casts from your phone, you can also use it to pull up all your social media apps on a larger display.

Delta Parallel Reality Board from Misapplied Sciences

This tech felt like magic, not a gimmick. Personalized flight information was displayed to me and only me after I scanned a boarding pass, while the dude next to me saw only his own flight details. Wild. It’s coming to the Detroit Airport later this year and I’m excited for travelers there to experience it. 

Celebrity looks have long-inspired the makeup on our faces. But a new tool from YouCam, a smart cosmetics company, will actually help you see if you can pull those looks off. YouCam's Beauty Advisor tool scans your face. It then surfaces celebrity makeup looks — like the latest baby pout from Ariana Grande or Rihanna smokey eye — that it determines might look good on your face. You select the look that intrigues you, and then it applies it in a way that actually looks realistic and accurate (not like a sticker someone just slapped your face).

BMW ZeroG Lounger

It’s a good sign if you don’t want a demo to end. That’s how I felt after riding around in BMW’s ZeroG Lounger seat. The reclining seat is meant to mimic the feeling of weightlessness, but all ll I felt — with a pillow nestled against my head, airbags cushioning the seat, and a screen instead of a sun visor meant to reduce motion sickness — was cozy. 

Lora DiCarlo

Lora DiCarlo Osé

The most controversial innovation award winner of CES 2019 is finally here in the flesh, and it’s definitely unlike any other sex toy we’ve seen before. The Osé is a hands-free, bio-mimetic pleasure device aimed at effortlessly giving women the “blended” orgasm of legend. From robotics engineering to materials, this device is pushing forward the boundaries of sex tech in many daring ways. Now can we please get our hands on it already?!
