Folding the arms in, the DJI Mini 3, priced at $439 (was $549), fits nicely into even a jacket pocket with plenty of room to spare. Because it weighs less than 249 grams, most countries do not require registration for recreational flying. Seasoned pilots toss it in a bag without thinking twice, whereas rookies comment on how light it is, and that lightness is what makes a big difference in the air in terms of forgiveness.

At CES 2026, HP reinvented the traditional keyboard, changing it into a really capable all-in-one device. Most all-in-one computers hide everything behind a large screen, leaving a separate keyboard and mouse on your desk to clutter things up. HP took the other approach with the EliteBoard G1a Next Gen AI PC, which incorporates everything a Windows desktop requires within the keyboard itself.
At CES 2026, NVIDIA announced a significant breakthrough: they created self-driving vehicles capable of navigating extremely difficult roads with little to no human intervention. It’s all centered around their DRIVE platform, which is currently powering real-world automobiles and laying the groundwork for substantial automation.
Many people use wearables solely to track their runs, walks, or gym sessions, rather than getting bogged down in the continual stream of phone notifications or app madness.
