Although there are features emerging from tech powerhouses like the conference Nvidia, Samsungand Toyotathere are also some very strange product concepts and announcements floating around the show floor. We’ve rounded up the weirdest, silliest, and most eyebrow-raising products from CES 2025.
A robot cat that cools your coffee for you
A new favorite gadget from Yukai Engineering Nékojita FuFu, a tiny robotic cat that can be mounted on a cup or bowl and blows air at human-like intervals to help cool your coffee or soup.

A handheld game console that is really, really big
Handheld consoles are great for gaming on the go, but Acer’s latest product really pushes the boundaries of what’s considered portable. Nitro Blaze 11 it’s undeniably big: with a 10.95-inch display, it’s not only the size of an 11-inch iPad Air, but weighs as much as two iPad Airs stacked on top of each other. You need to strengthen your wrist before trying!
A concept laptop with a ‘the rollable screen is becoming a reality
A few years ago, Lenovo sold its concept for a laptop with a larger screen. It became just a concept at this year’s CES ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable. The device’s 14-inch OLED display can unfold itself and expand to a 16.7-inch panel with the press of a button or gesture controls, effectively adding more screen space without additional monitors or accessories.

Spicerr is another quirky food tech device from this year’s CES. The device makes itself a kind of fashion Keurig machine for spices, With individual capsules you can rotate while its artificial intelligence detects how much you’ll need based on the recipe you’re using and dispenses for you. If you want to add a little more than he recommends, there’s also a “freeform” feature that gives you a little more control.
Bird bath powered by artificial intelligence
