CES 2025, which wrapped up on Friday, marked the first year I found more laptops than ever that hit this Holy Grail metric — and they did so without making the sacrifices often considered necessary to achieve a light form factor.

Lenovo remains the dominant force in the 2-in-1 laptop market, so it's no surprise that it has claimed the top spot for the best 2-in-1 laptop at CES 2025. The Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition brings the company's new AI-augmented features to the 9i for the first time after debuting in the Yoga 7i at IFA 2024.

At CES 2025, Shokz introduced its OpenFit 2 air conduction earbuds, each having a woofer and tweeter for better sound compared to its predecessor. They also now have buttons for finer control. JLab's Epic Lux Lab Edition Wireless Headphones are the company's first set of adaptive active noise cancellation headphones.
