The weirdest tech we’ve seen at CES 2026 so far

CES is a launchpad for serious tech, but it’s also the place where companies proudly unveil devices that make you stop mid-scrolling and whisper, “Wait, this is real?” We’re keeping a running list of the weirdest, funniest, and most unexpectedly compelling gadgets we’ve seen in Las Vegas, from bathroom computers to robots that look like they escaped a Pixar pitch meeting.

Also, be sure to check out our list of the best CES technology seen at the show this year.

Dreame Cyber ​​X Robot Vacuum

Robot vacuums may already be a little annoying, but Dreamy’s Cyber In person, it navigated both up and down with surprising confidence, actually using its legs horizontally rather than stepping. The vacuum itself docks inside the climbing rig, so it’s more about getting your bot up to the next floor than clearing stairs, which still seems like a fair trade if you hate lugging equipment around.

olobot

CES loves a companion robot, but Olobot is probably the first robot we’ve met who is part cyber pet, part penguin, part E.T. and somehow comes with a warm, furry, telescopic neck. Its “face” is basically a tablet for expressions, photos, and messages, and it’s meant to develop a personality over time based on how your family interacts with it. Bonus: Its memories reside in a removable heart-shaped module, so if the body breaks down, you can (theoretically) transplant your robot’s soul into a new shell.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo

Dual screens on laptops are nothing new, but ASUS putting two 16-inch OLED panels in a gaming notebook is the kind of chaotic CES energy we respect. The Zephyrus Duo uses a detachable keyboard and a built-in kickstand so you can stack, spread the screens, or generally arrange your portable battle station however you want. It’s heavy, it’s ambitious and it almost certainly won’t be cheap – but if you’ve ever wanted to moonlight as a two-screen Creator setup, this is the fastest possible way to do it.

throne toilet computer

Throne is a toilet-mounted computer that uses cameras and microphones to analyze your bowel movements, which is a sentence we didn’t expect to be typing this week. Designed to establish a personalized “baseline” for your bathroom habits, it’s intended to flag changes that may indicate digestive or metabolic problems, including in people taking GLP-1 medications. We can’t talk about its effectiveness yet… but if knowledge is power, this thing can know a lot.

Vivo Hygienic Flopad Smart Menstrual Pad

Vivo looked at health tracking at home and decided that the bathroom was still underutilized. With its clip-on smart toilet that analyzes your hydration virtually monitoring your urinationThe company also unveiled a menstrual pad equipped with microfluidics that can track fertility and hormone markers when scanned with your phone. It’s a bold reminder that CES 2026 is fully committed to quantifying everything — even the stuff we might not want to discuss over brunch.

Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable

Lenovo’s Legion Pro Rollable is what happens when a gaming laptop decides it wants to be a widescreen monitor in the middle of a match. Its 16-inch display can physically expand sideways to ultra-wide formats, turning flight sims and racing games into full cockpit experiences with the press of a few keys. It’s impractical, a little ridiculous, and exactly the kind of CES concept we hope will survive long enough to escape the demo floor.

lenovo thinkbook xd rollable

If the Legion Pro Rollable is extreme, the ThinkBook XD Rollable is philosophically confusing. Its flexible display not only stretches longer, but it wraps over the lid to create a “world-facing” screen for those sitting in front of you, which feels either futuristic or highly unnecessary, depending on your mood and situation (perhaps it’s the perfect device for hotel check-in and other points of sale?). Still, it’s a gorgeous piece of hardware theater and proof that Lenovo is committed to putting screens on every surface it can reach.

Ohdoki Handy 2 Pro

Ohdoki’s Handy 2 Pro came to CES with a clear message: more power, fewer limitations, and absolutely no cooldowns. The advanced sex toy model has a battery life of up to five hours and unlocks turbo mode so aggressively that it was described as “overclocked”, which is not a term we expect to hear in this category. It can even charge your phone, because apparently pleasure technology also needs to justify itself with productivity.

ipolish

iPolish eventually became total Recall Nell Takes Real, minus the dystopia and Schwarzenegger. These press-on acrylic nails use an electric charge to switch between hundreds of colors in seconds, letting you change up your outfit as well as your manicure. It’s extremely impractical, surprisingly affordable and the most convincing argument ever for treating your nails like a customizable display.

Hisense S6 Folio Display

Despite the name, Hisense’s FollowMe doesn’t actually follow you at all. It’s a 32-inch 4K smart display on wheels that you can manually drag from room to room, offering Wi-Fi 6, a built-in camera, far-field mic, and strong TV-and-VCR-on-a-cart power with a 10-hour battery life. It won’t judge you, stalk you, or demand attention, which may make it one of the least emotionally exhausting smart displays at CES.

ge profile smart fridge

If you’ve ever bought a bag of spinach “just in case” and had three more at home, GE’s latest smart fridge might want to give you a reality check on your grocery haul. A camera in the crisper records what’s inside, while a built-in barcode scanner in the water dispenser can add items to your shopping list with a quick wave, no app required. The AI ​​bits are mostly meant to answer practical questions like “Where’s my water filter?” The most convincing argument we’ve heard for putting a voice assistant on the fridge.

L’Oreal LED Eye Mask

L’Oreal’s beauty tech lineup includes an LED eye mask that looks extremely ridiculous in the best possible way: ultra-thin, semi-transparent silicone with visible microcircuitry that makes it feel like sci-fi skin care. The company says it precisely controls red and near-infrared wavelengths in a 10-minute session, and it works over a companion serum so your skin doesn’t feel like it’s been left to dry out.
