With CES slated to officially start next week the focus is understandably on all the new products that will be announced at this year s event But before diving into what s new we thought it was a good idea to revisit our best of show winners from last year to see where they re at After all CES is synonymous with vaporware The good news is the Engadget team has a keen sense for BS Of the ones we awarded at CES that nbsp haven t nbsp been released most are coming this year For the remaining few we ll be hunting them down this CES ASUS Zenbook AAn Asus Zenbook A sits out a patio table Devindra Hardawar for EngadgetWhen we saw the ASUS Zenbook A at CES it left us impressed with its lightweight but well made chassis beautiful OLED screen and excellent mix of ports After spending more time with it the A s shortcomings became more apparent In his review of the ultraportable Engadget s Devindra Hardawar gave the laptop a score of lamenting its poor performance and expensive price tag In the end it wasn t quite the Windows MacBook Air competitor he had hoped for initially nbsp nbsp nbsp BioLite Backup nbsp The BioLite Backup powers a Galan fridge Amy Skorheim for EngadgetAt CES BioLite was already taking pre orders for its automatic home backup power supply The BioLite Backup didn t arrive in but if you visit the company s website today you can reserve one for with final pricing expected to start at BioLite says units will start shipping this year nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp Jackery Solar RoofA CES display shows the Jackery XBC solar panels in obsidian Jess Conditt for EngadgetBefore CES Jackery was already an established player in the domestic solar power industry and at the event it impressed us with its XBC curved solar shingles They look like regular roof shingles but Jackery said they would deliver cell conversion efficiency of more than percent nbsp It s taken longer than anticipated but Jackery says it now expects the shingles to go on sale in the US quot very soon quot with pricing likely to range between and per square meter depending on the customer s design requirements and how they purchase the product When contacted by Engadget Jackery also teased a handful of announcements for CES including updates on devices like the Solar Mars Robot it s been working on for the last little while nbsp Lenovo Legion Go SThe Lenovo Legion Go S sits on an opaque glass table with a comic book behind it Sam Rutherford for EngadgetWith the Legion Go S Lenovo promised two different versions of its new handheld one running Windows and the other Valve s Steam OS Unfortunately the Windows variant arrived first shortly after CES and was about as good as expected However the wait for the SteamOS model was well worth it When Engadget s Sam Rutherford finally reviewed it over the summer he praised it for fast performance bright display and of course the ease of use offered by SteamOS nbsp LG OLED evo MA man and his dalmatian gaze at a inch LG OLED TV LGLG s OLED TVs are a perennial CES favorite at Engadget and the company s slate was no different The flagship evo M model impressed with its Hz refresh rate for gaming better image processing for lower resolution content and a wireless transmission system for video and audio At the set is expensive but the good news is LG typically does a good job of trickling down features to its more nbsp affordable sets and I m sure the company will continue to improve on its OLED technology this year Moonbird Moonbuddy nbsp nbsp A hand holds the Moonbird Moonbuddy The device has the teddy sleeve on MoonbirdThe Moonbuddy was one of two quot cute quot gadgets that made Engadget s best of CES list We liked Moonbird s decision to make a screenless meditation and sleep aid for children The good news is you can buy your kid a Moonbuddy right now with the device currently discounted to as part of Moonbird s end of year sale Unfortunately when Engadget contacted the company to ask about its CES all it sent us back was a response from quot Luna quot its automated AI agent quot I don t have specific information about our CES exhibition plans to share with you right now quot the bot told me adding I should email the address I just emailed to get a response from a human being nbsp OhSnap MCONEngadget senior reporter Jessica Conditt holds the OhSnap MCON in her hand at CES The attached phone displays Minecraft Jess Conditt for EngadgetThe OhSnap MCON won us over with its simple pitch it basically had the ability to turn any smartphone into a Xperia Play Actually accomplishing that feat was more complicated with components like Hall effect joysticks for added durability increasing the time it took for OhSnap to get the product ready For that reason the MCON didn t make it out to consumers in However you can preorder one now for about with shipments slated to start this year nbsp nbsp Roborock Saros ZThe Roborock Saros Z uses its robotic arm to put a handful of socks into a basket Karissa Bell for EngadgetThe Saros Z was one of a handful of robot vacuums that debuted at CES with a built in extendable arm but Roborock s flagship was the one that made the best impression We didn t end up recommending it in our robot vacuum guide there are more affordable options that will appeal to a greater number of people But if you want the latest and greatest the Saros Z is on sale right now for nbsp nbsp Yukai Engineering MirumiA Mirumi robot sticks to a pink purse Cheyenne MacDonald for EngadgetOf all the gadgets Engadget saw at CES it s fair to say the Mirumi robot from Yukai Engineering was the only one to steal our hearts All this cute little charm does is stare at you and move its head around a little until you ve been tricked into a few moments of happiness and honestly that was more than enough for us to award it a best of CES award Right now you can find Yukai Engineering accepting pre orders for Mirumi through Kickstarter The project which began at the start of December easily surged past its modest goal raising as of the writing of this article The campaign ends on January so you still have time to secure your Mirumi preorder nbsp Technics EAH AZ earbudsA pair of Technics AZ earbuds sit on a wooden desk with an iPhone and a pair of books next to them Billy Steele for EngadgetThey might have only been a pair of earbuds but a lot of us left CES really excited about the Technics EAH AZ The reason for that was that they were the debut of the company s new magnetic fluid drivers technology which promised to deliver even more clarity detail and bass than the drivers in Technics already excellent AZ earbuds When Engadget s resident audio guru Billy Steele got a chance to review the EAH AZ a couple of months later he gave them a score of saying they offered quot some of the best sound quality in any of the hundreds of earbuds I ve tested over the years quot nbsp Urtopia Titanium ZeroThe Titanium Zero sits at a CES display with other e bikes nearby Daniel Cooper for EngadgetAs a cyclist the Urtopia Titanium Zero was the one product I left CES excited to see in the real world If a titanium bike wasn t cool enough already the Zero s Quark DM motor offered something actually innovative a mid drive motor with more power output than even the best hub motor Unfortunately while you can buy plenty of other e bikes off of Urtopia s website the Titanium Zero isn t on sale yet That said the company plans to showcase the bike alongside the Quark DM at CES nbsp nbsp WeWalk Smart Cane A person uses the Wewalk Smart Cane to find their way through a CES booth Cheyenne MacDonald for EngadgetThe WeWalk Smart Cane won two awards from Engadget during CES including our coveted best in show nod At an event where nearly every manufacturer found a way to add AI to their devices the Smart Cane appealed to us for its thoughtful use of the tech It offers turn by turn navigation and obstacle detection in addition to a GPT powered voice assistant to give users a way to access information without also having to juggle their phone at the same time If you visit WeWalk s website today there s a quot buy now quot link for the Smart Cane that leads to a dead end When Engadget reached out to WeWalk the company said it would be once again at CES demoing the Smart Cane nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp This article
