Best Tech from the CES Show Floor! (CES 2020 Wrap Up)

**Concept Vehicles: The Future of Innovation**

At CES, we saw many exciting concepts and innovative products that showcase the future of technology. One of the most impressive was Lenovo's ThinkPad x1 Fold, which features a 13-inch OLED foldable panel that can be used in various different form factors with an on-screen keyboard or with a keyboard attachment concept, known as UFO. The UFO is Dell's take on Nintendo Switch styled gaming PC, featuring two removable game pads, a large and very vivid 8-inch display smack dab in the middle, and comes with the ability to be docked into a TV or monitor.

The ThinkPad x1 Fold was incredibly impressive during testing, and it's clear that Lenovo has put a lot of thought into its design. The device seemed to work seamlessly, with no lag or deficiencies during gameplay. While these devices are still concepts at this point, they didn't feel like unfinished prototypes or products that are so wild and obscure that we probably won't see them for years.

Concept vehicles are a great example of the opposite, with many autonomous car concepts and ideas on display at CES. However, one of the most surprising was Sony's concept car called the Vision S. The Vision S is a sleek, modern, and downright beautiful-looking concept car that will unfortunately only remain a dream as of right now. Sony has no plans to sell this car, but it hopes that consumers and other manufacturers will see what new advancements in technology are possible moving forward.

The Vision S features high-end Sony sound equipment and a Sony lidar setup that powers the side view cameras, replacing traditional years. This technology is impressive, but it's unclear how practical it would be for everyday use. The car did look cool, with a sleek design that showcases the latest advancements in automotive technology.

Samsung also had several interesting concepts on display at CES. One of the most notable was the indoor garden fridge, which allows consumers to grow herbs and produce indoors all year round. This is perfect for those who live in apartments and want to garden but can't due to space constraints. The garden fridge features cool-controlled temperatures, built-in lights, and a built-in watering system.

Samsung also introduced the Bali, a robotic ball that rolls around your house and responds to voice commands. The Bali is supposed to serve as an alarm, record video, play with pets, or manage smart home devices. However, for now, it mostly just rolls around, although it does come in a few different colors.

In other news, we learned some random facts at CES. One of the most surprising was that cat litter machines are a real thing! If you have a cat, you might appreciate not having to change the litter box thanks to the Litter Robot 3. This machine can be controlled by your iPhone and sifts the litter, placing everything in a bag for you to throw out later.

We also learned about John Deere's booth at CES, which showed us that there's way more tech involved with modern-day farming than we knew about. The company showcased a tractor with an Apple CarPlay option, built-in refrigerator, and massage chairs. We were able to test out the massage chairs, and it was amazing and hilarious at the same time.

Finally, TCL announced that they will be releasing several phones under their brand, which are shaping up to be incredible value. The TCL 10 Pro can give other smartphone manufacturers a run for its money in terms of premium design and features. There's also a 5G variant expected to cost around $500, which is absolutely insane given the current market.

Last but not least, we saw the Rivian Rivia NAND Ford Mustang Mach II in person, both of which were really awesome-looking. The Rivia is expected to begin production later this year, and while I'm not a huge truck guy, I thought this thing was beautiful. One of the coolest features is the little trapdoor storage area behind the passenger seats, which looked really cool in pictures and looks even better in person.

Overall, CES was an incredible event with many exciting concepts and innovative products on display. From foldable laptops to robotic balls, there's a lot to cover at this annual technology conference.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enCES 2020 is about to wind down and in this video we're going to go over some of the more interesting devices and the tech that I found when roaming the showroom floors before we get started be sure to subscribe and hit the bell to get notifications whenever we share a video starting off with some Apple related products we have the new bridge Pro Plus keyboard for your iPad pro we have actually made an entire video about the original bridge pro keyboard if you want to check that out go ahead and click the link in the top corner but obviously what separates this new model from the old is the inclusion of a built-in trackpad even though Mouse support is technically an accessibility feature in iOS 13 users were clamoring for a case like this and bridge is now delivering it it looks and feels pretty similar to an apple trackpad and makes the experience much more laptop like and seamless now for those who've purchased an original Bridge Pro keyboard fear not the company has actually developed a standalone trackpad that you can purchase to couple with your case also for those who might not know Bridge acquired henge docks and are now revamping and rebranding the vertical dock line so be on the lookout for new 13-inch MacBook Air options as well as an option for the sixteen inch macbook pro in our last video we checked out a few charging options from griffin that used Gann technology to reduce the footprint of the wall charger but also offer faster speeds with better thermal improvements Gann made its way into this new omnia lineup from a key that features these tiny little chargers capable of charging math books and even the 16 inch macbook pro with the new 100 watt charger option it's pretty mind-blowing and how small these wall chargers actually are hyper juice has a small 100 watt charger too but this one is a little bit bigger than the Aki because it features two USB C and two USB type A ports so in theory you could just travel around with just this one charger for almost all of your devices and it's still much smaller than a traditional MacBook Pro charging brick in our last video we talked about a smart faucet that unfortunately was not homekit equipped but Moen did show me a smart shower system that is homekit enabled and it can also be controlled using your voice through Siri the Moen smart-shower can obviously adjust temperature set specific shower lengths start and stop the shower from your phone and much more if you're looking for a series slash home kit enabled faucet Kohler has the new cetera touchless faucet which operates via motion control and/or voice commands Kohler also introduced the Moxie showerhead which has an awesome sounding Harman Kardon Bluetooth speaker integrated right into the center of the showerhead that's also removable but unfortunately it's not home kit or Siri enabled but I still thought it was pretty cool speaking of audio a new lineup of smart speakers and sound bars from JBL / harman kardon will be hitting the market soon and it will feature airplay - built in the citation smart speaker and sound bar line up from harman kardon will offer you a wide range of products with premium high quality sound and the new Jamie L 9.1 sound bar offers up an incredible true Wireless surround sound experience all packed into a sound bar and subwoofer combination the sound bar actually has two detachable surround sound speakers that can give you 10 hours of use on a single charge and can be placed behind you in your home entertainment setup the demo that we got was actually pretty incredible sounding from this tiny all-in-one form factor plus it also features airplay - Razer made a lineup of iPhone cases called the Razer archetype designed for mobile gamers and it offers up a new thermal solution during long periods of gameplay where your device usually gets super hot basically Razer added ventilation to the case which is a pretty great idea and it also made it look super sleek and minimal it comes in a few different colorways including this awesome red gold and black limited edition case Razer also announced a new dual sided mobile gaming controller called the Kishin controller it's certified by Apple features a lightning connector or USB see which has passed through capabilities allowing users to charge the controller and their iPhones at the same time it also looks and feels much like a traditional Xbox controller and should work with iPhone 6 and newer as well as select Android devices one last side note with Razer the company is also working on a 5g router called the Sela 5g and basically it's designed to spread your carriers 5g network all throughout your home and become your new internet service provider basically since 5g speeds are ridiculously fast this concept is much more feasible making Internet service providers basically replaceable but for now this is only just a concept speaking of concepts boy is CES just filled with them this next portion of our video is pretty much all about concepts some concepts that are useful and ready and some that are well interesting but probably not going to happen for a very long time I'm not sure where the 1 plus concept one phone lands in my opinion because while I am super impressed with the design and tech that goes into creating a smart phone with multiple cameras and then calling them invisible even though it's technically not invisible they are hiding behind the special glass and there is a way to make them appear and disappear by simply opening and closing the camera app I'm not sure this is all entirely necessary but I am hoping that this trend actually continues where phone manufacturers just hide the cameras or make them flush with the phone LG has actually done this in the past and if oneplus wants to hide there's behind glass to make them sort of invisible absolutely be my guest the glass also has more functionality than simply hiding the cameras but instead acts as an ND filter for these lenses and can reduce the light down a few stops now during my testing it was subtle so it probably won't show very well here on camera but hopefully when you're outdoors it should be much more noticeable sticking with mobile devices Dell introduced the concept UFO and concept ory the latter being a foldable laptop much like what we saw with Lenovo ThinkPad x1 fold where you have a 13 inch OLED foldable panel that can be used in various different form factors with an on-screen keyboard or with a keyboard attachment concept UFO is Dells take on well a Nintendo switch styled gaming PC that features two removable game pads a large and very vivid 8-inch display smack dab in the middle and comes with the ability to be docked into a TV or monitor honestly while I was checking it out it was hard for me not to just picture this being the new next-generation Nintendo switch but then I saw the window startup menu pop up on screen and realized it's being powered by Windows 10 so for what it's worth I'm totally on board with more devices like this and during my brief testing the concept UFO seemed to work incredibly well and I really haven't noticed any lag or deficiencies during gameplay while these devices are just concepts at the current moment they didn't feel like unfinished prototypes or products that are so wild and obscure that we
