In the late 1980s, a little monochrome television appeared in certain public spaces, and for a few quarters, you could see some programming on it. Known as the Vend-O-Vision, this small device transformed idle waiting into something you might pay to see.
Compal Electronics, the company that makes many of the laptops you see under famous brand names, has introduced a concept called the AI Book. This design replaces the traditional palm rest and trackpad with a color E Ink touchscreen. You can rest your hands on an active display that shows information, allows you to tap it in, and even accepts stylus input for handwriting or sketching.
Unihertz plans to debut the new Titan 2 Elite on Kickstarter early next month, and by all accounts, it will be a natural evolution of the company’s previous Titan handsets, although one that has managed to reduce the entire thing down into a much more pocket-friendly container. You’ll still get that characteristic QWERTY keyboard that reminds you of the good old days of BlackBerry phones; after all, some people still prefer the experience of pressing actual buttons to swiping at a glass screen.
Samsung quietly slipped a 27-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor onto the market at a much lower price than anyone expected. The Odyssey OLED G5, that’s the G50SF model, comes in with a 2560×1440 resolution and a 180Hz refresh rate, a 0.03 millisecond response time, gray to grey, being the icing on the cake. It’s currently selling for around $350, which is significantly cheaper than the original asking price of close to $550.
The Bugatti W16 Mistral ‘La Perle Rare’, the last of a vanishing breed, marks the end of an era defined by raw mechanical power and an obsessive quest of perfection. There are only 99 of these Mistrals in total, and each starts at over €5 million. ‘La Perle Rare’, on the other hand, is a handmade unique that will cost a little more than $8-9 million.
The Lenovo ThinkBook Modular AI PC concept is one of the most intriguing things Lenovo has planned for MWC 2026. Some leaked renders from technology insider Evan Blass show us a laptop that still looks like a laptop on the outside, with the same familiar clamshell design, but on the inside it has been entirely flipped on its head.
Leo Torres has done an incredible job with his new Skyrim project. He takes the Forgotten Vale from the Dawnguard expansion and essentially reimagines it from scratch in Unreal Engine 5.7.2. Anyone who has delved into this place will know it as a vast, glacial valley dotted with ancient elven ruins, those rather disturbing falmer enemies, and an atmosphere of endless isolation. He increases its scale to give it a more realistic and lore-accurate feel, completely free of the constraints of Skyrim’s original graphics engine. The resulting result runs smoothly on an RTX 3090 and has sixteen times the level of detail you would have seen in 2012.
In the early 1990s, handheld gaming was booming, and two absolute titans ruled the roost: Nintendo’s Game Boy and SEGA’s Game Gear. These two were extremely expensive, typically costing more than $100 each ($225 today), so only young gamers with deep pockets could get in on the action. Then the Hartung Game Master appeared unexpectedly from Germany.
BMW employees at the Leipzig plant have been juggling all the complex parts of vehicle assembly, especially the hefty battery modules. However, a new member has joined the team: the AEON humanoid robot. AEON was created by Hexagon Robotics, a company BMW has been collaborating with for years on grunt work, to manage the physically taxing and repetitive tasks that wear people out.

O House, finished in late 2025 within Kurihara, Miyagi Prefecture, is a 50-square-meter, 3D-printed two-story home. The 31-square-meter ground floor holds a master bedroom and bathroom, while the 19-square-meter upper level hosts the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Curved walls rise 7 meters, stacked like bricks and set half a meter below ground for stability, while skylights let natural light pour into every corner.
