LAS VEGAS—Like all the key laptop makers at CES 2025, Gigabyte took stock of its gaming laptop lineup in sync with the latest component launches from AMD, Intel, and Nvidia. Gigabyte, however, used the opportunity to revise and rename the whole of its laptop line—not just spruce up the parts inside. We looked at updated 16-inch and 18-inch systems at Gigabyte’s CES showroom, going hands on with the Aorus Master 18, Aorus Master 16, Aorus Elite 16, and the Aero X16.

LAS VEGAS--At CES 2025, we have been covering a vast fleet of laptops and desktops packing the very latest components, but we're seeing a lot of familiar, last-year designs, just refreshed with new innards. MSI brought along one of the few desktop PCs with a wholly original look: its MEG Vision X AI 2nd gaming desktop. This tower certainly has some interesting features inside the box. But its main draw is a full-size vertical screen on the front panel.

The 58th annual CES was an absolute whirlwind of computing news, the most jam-packed with new silicon in years. Every single major PC chipmaker involved in the laptop game—AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm—had new mobile processors debut at the show. Of course, with that came a deluge of new laptops from nearly every vendor, including Acer, Asus, HP, Lenovo, LG, and Samsung. This was also the year that the AI PC finally came alive.

LAS VEGAS—With dozens of collective CES events under our belts here at PCMag, we thought seen it all, and perhaps we have. But we apparently hadn’t yet smelled it all. Asus’ curiously named Adol 14 Air is a laptop with an aroma diffuser built in to keep your immediate workspace smelling pleasant with a fragrance of your liking. As you can see in the video above (and in our deeper dive below), we stuck our noses into this demo to show you how it works.

Lenovo brought a towering stack of products to CES 2025 across its consumer and gaming PC lineups, with new Legion Go gaming handhelds headlining its gaming announcements. The Legion Go reveals are threefold: Lenovo debuted a prototype for the upcoming Legion Go 2 sequel device, unveiled a new side-grade, more mainstream Legion Go S Windows handheld, and announced that the Go S will support SteamOS in a separate configuration. These will all run on AMD's recently announced Z2 processor generation.
