Highlights from the annual tech event [What you missed from this year’s CES]( [The Noesis Florio 2-in-1 robotic floor cleaner.]( Positec For the first time since 2020, we’re live and in person at CES in Las Vegas, the yearly tech trade show that always promises big things it may or may not ever deliver. While we won’t be able to fully test these products until they’re in our hands, [these are some of the things our experts saw and are most excited for](. We independently review everything we recommend. When you buy through our links, we may earn a commission.

It’s an operating system for headphones. In the near future, you will be able to download apps to your headphones in the same way you can your iPad or iPhone. I don’t think this will be something most folks will be buying this year, but much in the way true wireless took off about 2-3 years after the first clunky models rolled out at CES, I think headphones with increased processing power are the future of headphones. —Lauren Dragan, senior staff writer [Smart lighting that’s pure genius]( [Several Nanoleaf Sense+ controls, shown side by side on a flat surface. ]( Jon Chase [Nanoleaf Sense+ Controls, Q3 2023, Price TBD]( The smart home buzzword of CES is Matter, an emerging tech standard developed in cooperation with every major smart home brand that should make the next generation of smart devices work together without worry about compatibility, while also being far more secure (here’s [our early look with more details](. Matter-compatible products are only beginning to trickle out, and Nanoleaf’s newly announced Sense+ Control line are among those that piqued my curiosity. A real spine tingler for smart home fans is the Learning Bridge, a plug-in device with a modest nightlight and also ambient lighting and motion sensors. Inside is a wireless Thread border router that enables other battery-powered Thread devices to stay in contact and talk to each other and in turn your home Wi-Fi network. It’s too early to say how that will pan out, but I love that once Matter is up and running I ought to be able to use all those built-in sensors to elevate and automate the skills of all my other smart devices. —Jon Chase, editor [A touchless kitchen sink]( [A motion controlled Moen smart kitchen faucet.]( Grant Clauser [Moen Smart Faucet with Motion Control, later this year, $1,100]( Kitchens have steadily been getting smarter as Wi-Fi and voice control find their way into more household devices. One of the latest is Moen’s new Smart Faucet with Motion Control, which replicates the convenience of touchless faucets at home with a lot more control. The one downside? The price: all that control will cost you $1,100. —Grant Clauser, senior editor [A cleaning genie]( [The Noesis Florio 2-in-1 robotic floor cleaner, shown over a rug in a living room setting.]( Sabine Heinlein [Noesis Florio 2-in-1 Robotic Floor Cleaner, February 2023, $1,500]( So much dirt, so little time! Who doesn’t want a smart little machine that does everything everywhere all at once? The [Noesis Florio 2-in-1]( a robotic floor cleaner that will become available this February, aspires to come awfully close to being your perfect cleaning genie. It can be programmed to switch automatically between vacuuming, dry mopping, wet mopping, and vacuuming-and-wet-mopping combined. —Sabine Heinlein, staff writer [A bold, dual-screen laptop]( [Two dual-screen Lenovo Yoga Book 9i laptops, shown side by side.]( Lenovo [Lenovo Yoga Book 9i, June 2023, $2,100]( Many laptop makers have tried to reimagine what a laptop can be—with touchbars, screenpads, E Ink displays, bizarre hinge decisions, and more—and so far all of them have missed. Lenovo is taking yet another swing with its new [Yoga Book 9i]( a thin and light laptop with not one, but two 13.3-inch OLED screens that can be used in a variety of positions. We’re excited for the potential, but we’ll have to wait and see if the finished device is a home run, or yet another swing and a miss. —Kimber Streams, senior staff writer A cult-favorite coffee grinder, now for espresso [A Fellow Opus coffee grinder.] Fellow Fellow Opus coffee grinder, February 2023, $195 For two years coffee geeks have lusted after the pricey Fellow Ode grinder, a wonderfully compact and quiet black metal grinder with custom-designed [flat burrs](. The catch was the cost, about $300 for a machine that was designed almost entirely for pour-over styles of coffee. The Opus is designed for more mainstream coffee drinkers. It has a lower price tag and it is theoretically designed to handle all kinds of coffee styles, and even comes with an internal blue adjustment wheel for dialing in a fine grind for espresso. —Rachel Wharton, senior staff writer [Better sleep ahead]( [Three Hatch Restore 2 sunrise alarm clocks in different colors.]( Hatch [Hatch Restore 2, now available for pre-order (shipping end of January 2023), $200]( Hatch released a new version of its [sunrise alarm clock]( the Hatch Restore 2. Like its predecessor, the Hatch Restore 2 aims to help build healthy sleep habits and reduce stress-induced insomnia via customizable sunrise and sunset simulations and personally-curated soundscapes. — Annie Chou, updates writer This was just a small sampling of the exciting announcements we saw at CES.
