CES 2025 Dispatch 2 ! 24 Pieces of Tech in 24 Minutes from the Pepcom Digital Experience

[@screenplayhouse4932]

It's not CES without LON.

[@LGR]

Aw yeah, even HP is hopping aboard the woodgrain PC train! Really enjoying the coverage from the show floor, as I do each year. Hope I can actually make it to the show next year!

[@LonSeidman]

It would be great to do a meetup if you make in to town next time!

[@LonSeidman]

And I think you were the wood grain trendsetter that started the craze!

[@GameSack]

Thanks for doing these. It really is the next best thing to being there.

[@LonSeidman]

If you'd like to be here it can be arranged :)

[@buhidef]

@@LonSeidman I was there last year and ran into you to take a photo :). Not a fan of Las Vegas, and CES is too large, spread out and overwhelming. Thanks for all you do!

[@jmr]

​@@LonSeidman Keep your eyes open for ATSC 3.0 Edgebeam.

[@justanotherstanczyk]

Having worked a booth at NAB in 2000, i'm SOOO glad Lon is there instead of me.

[@LonSeidman]

@@buhidef It's exhausting.. you'll see me wearing down as the week goes on here! :)

[@MrThedennisblack]

Looking forward to finishing the video, but I really wanted to give you some feedback that I’m loving the new way you’re handling the supporter shout-outs. I love that it doesn’t interrupt the content in any meaningful way, but it also doesn’t just leave it for the end which most people (myself included) will completely skip. It really seems like the best of both worlds to me, personally.

[@LonSeidman]

Thanks! Yeah I think it has worked out well since I got rid of the end credit rolls. I have so many supporters that it was dramatically lengthening the overall video !

[@ShoelessJP]

​@@LonSeidmanI think so too! I think this version is a much better way of handling supporter shoutouts. I suspect your watch time will go up too, and not have so many people skipping the end of the videos.

[@kishbaby7658]

Thanks for the continued great coverage Lon! Please get the Synology BeeStation in for review. Your coverage is efficient and informative. Keep doing what you do

[@LonSeidman]

Thank you so much for your support!

[@groveh1]

Thanks Lon...always love the CES shows and follow-ups!

[@theloweman]

He does the best CES coverage, straight to the point... filters all the trash.

[@rafaeltorovip]

Aweson video Lon. I hope you can get some sponsors for your trips in the future as you are doing an excellent coverage of CES. 👍

[@sndes-x2x]

Your review has been my favorite of all the reviews I have seen today of CES. Your passion for the unconventional comes through and provides another level of entertainment. Thanks for reviewing CES.

[@FinalDriveTV]

I was at CES for two days but missed so much. The show is so big that it is easy to miss many great products. Thanks for covering the smaller companies. The big boys seem to take over the show sometimes.

[@MrNick0230]

I really appreciate your CES coverage. I like seeing the odd things or the interesting gadgets that no one else talks about.

[@garynagle3093]

Love dispatches. The eclectic content is perfect. Maybe track down a mini pc nas?

[@mokisan]

Absolutely love these ces coverage from lon Lon is the goat ❤

[@blingauntie]

13:27 - Love the subtle nod to @ChefJohn He's the best! And so are you. 🥰

[@johnlevison9552]

Lon you're the greatest! Thanks for all you do!

[@mikecarrington4297]

Yes to certifying usb cables.

[@joshuaguenin9507]

the same group that convoluted the usb port is going to simplify the cables?? Laughable

[@yvesrn]

I ❤ my Remarkable! I used the Remarkable 2 for a couple years and just upgraded to the new color version Lon just demonstrated. It’s truly Remarkable!

[@sinisterpisces]

Great video! Glad you're having such a great time there. I really appreciate these. I know they aren't always great with the algorithm for you, but your CES coverage really is the best for non-gamer focused tech that's theoretically affordable (or will be affordable some day) for real people and actually does something real humans want. So much of CES seems like a concept car show for millionaires, and most of the concept cars are inhabited by terrifying AI. :P Have a great rest of your trip. Stay warm when you head home. :)

[@mustafapoonawala633]

I was like who's this random guy but you did what most other people didn't do-give an amazing brief explanation of several companies all at once. Hope to see more and all of them if possible. You're Amazing. and Thank you!!!

[@andrewavila1084]

What I liked best was at the beginning when security was walking behind you with extra long sleeves on his jacket! Great episodes , I am now subscribed.

[@jimpeter3453]

Whew, fast-paced and nicely-edited! Regards from Baltimore.

[@DIOS_PRIMERO]

Fantastic video lon thanks and the video quality is excellent

[@n3o3x]

Great coverage sir. Quick, concise, and well paced!

[@33yoal]

Used to go to CES while "stuck" in Ca. Not a fan of 300k crowds anymore...But we have great geeks like you reporting for all of us! Thank you.

[@tapoutkimura4731]

Outstanding video of the CES. Keep them rolling

[@tractorgt]

Just a fantastic dispatch! Love this stuff Lon! Thank you!

[@LonSeidman]

Thanks! It's fun to look for this stuff.

[@KeyBored101]

Thanks Lon, this is my first 2025 CES video

[@mn55019]

Thankyou for this sir. I have been following the CES since i was a salesman in the 70s. Those days are long gone but I still like to keep my hand in and was wondering the best way to get a synopsis of what is going on when I came across your first vid from yesterday. I always enjoy your content and want to thank you for these.

[@Montisaquadeis]

The Anker vacum would be GREAT for stairs for example

[@MarkDell]

It's cool to hear the new Xreal are working better with you!

[@LonSeidman]

Yes big improvement ! Need to play with them a bit more

[@JayPatrol]

You are a great reviewer on things lon

[@JanLandy]

Excellent. I wish I was there myself. So you are my surrogate. Thank you.

[@RicardoCalina]

Loved the sensors that have no batteries. Would be awesome a version that could go on doors and windows. Nd not have to worry about batt

[@kjcantgame]

I am going to CES too... And I'm so tired! I don't know how you can do it and still make pro content! Great stuff! 🎉🎉🎉

[@LonSeidman]

You will see me deterioating as the week rolls on :)

[@BodyByGaming]

Thank you Lon!

[@keikeninu]

The AI integrated printer is interesting. As a web coder I think it’s a bit terrible that so many websites have been so poorly coded that the AI is needed. A properly coded website will always have the print css so the site prints correctly without the unnecessary bits.

[@GregM]

Geez Lon you were busy, Appreciate the snippets.

[@OldMan_PJ]

Ozone generators are not safe for home use. The vacuum that adapted from robot to handheld was my favorite this episode.

[@headerahelix]

only if improperly used. not anymore dangerous than a gas stove.

[@JonBoehm]

Hmmm. I agree. Not sure producing Ozone is a good idea. Long-term exposure to ozone is associated with an increased risk of cancer. Ozone is an unstable gas that is highly reactive with other gases in the air.

[@0LoneTech]

@@headerahelix ... which are of course infamously dangerous.

[@headerahelix]

@@0LoneTech yes, if improperly used. which is what I said.

[@CURZONDAVID]

Subbed. No messing , to the point , love that

[@gewema-makkum]

Excelent info from CES. Nice Camera vídeo and Sound ..! 73 Gerben PA0GDW The Netherlands

[@druxpack8531]

can you find the Minisforum NAS?????

[@LonSeidman]

I will see if they are here!

[@traviscunningham_1]

15:35 Gonna need to see Lon’s input lag test on this in the future. 👀

[@bryancarder5943]

Great video as always

[@chrisgrable5319]

I'd love to see a review of the Remarkable tablet. I would be particularly interested in whether or not you can load up a pdf form and fill it by writing on the tablet. Thanks!

[@Clubmud]

Nice job Lon!

[@leskaighin8903]

Another great report. Many thanks

[@christophergraeme2346]

Hope you will get a chance to see new/upgraded nextgen tv receivers thanks😊

[@josephrottman4057]

Thanks so much, Lon!

[@StariusPrime]

As a fan of Chef John, I was happy to see one of his recipes in the HP AI demo. 😆

[@kuftamarc]

If you pass by the smart lock makers, I’d be curious to get your take on the upcoming smart locks. The one Schlage announced sounds interesting, but I don’t think anyone’s been able to get a real ETA out of them

[@76_SPZL]

That fan-less PC tech is super cool, hope it really works out.

[@joejoe6949]

I need that pluggable in my life .

[@avhound2]

Man the world really needs some heavy hitting shows like CES, maybe a mid year show just as big? Maybe also a second chance for some of the companies that didn't come to CES. Maybe they already do. 🤔

[@QianMa-q]

Many interesting stuff🎉 thanks

[@YorkshireHillbilly]

Another good job!

[@Starchface]

Love your reports Lon! The reversing fan concept isn't new but it will be interesting to see how effective it is in a laptop chassis-or it would if not for Dell eliminating the fans entirely in the very next segment. 😄

[@MarkDell]

It's crazy that the most exciting thing is the potential for a future when the capabilities of a cable are printed directly on it. What a boring thing to wish for, but damn that would make my life so much easier!

[@anargyroi]

Thumbs up for the Ventiva mention. I expected though to see all the amateur radio staff in CES 2025 from your channel , unfortunately I didn't...

[@James_Ryan]

The only product that interests me here is HP Print AI, but I would like it to print to PDF for viewing web-pages offline on a tablet. Anyone know if that's possible?

[@michaelrfx7]

Anything that replaces Bluetooth is great!!

[@josephrottman4057]

I felt like I was walking from table to table with you!

[@TechRide.]

great stuff LON. Can you please share your vlogging setup rig specs? thanks!

I have been wondering when someone would come up with a Magsafe SSD drive for video creators for their iPhones

[@LonSeidman]

There are a ton now on the market! Some are much better than others

[@tonyvalenti6614]

Thanks Lon! If you stop by Synology again would like to see what the DP320 is all about?

[@robertmason7013]

Are there any ATSC3.0 devices you will be showing us.

[@LonSeidman]

I might see their booth when I'm over that way tomorrow.. Only new tuning device announced is a USB dongle that requires an Internet connection.

[@CantankerousDave]

2:15 - Lon, if your wife practices kenpo, has she seen a 90s martial arts flicked called The Perfect Weapon? The star, Jeff Speakman, is a kenpo guy.

[@LonSeidman]

I'll recommend it to her!

[@AlanBir]

How about what's going on with code-developer monitors?

[@MrTr3D]

Very useful video and gadgets.

[@cr-pol]

The moisture sensor was the one that got my interest piqued the most.

[@JoshuaTheYouTubeGuy2000]

Hi there, Lon! I have a question. Is that HyperX mouse shown in the video a gaming mouse, and can it be used for gaming?

[@LonSeidman]

Yes all of the HyperX products are gaming

Good job!

[@linuxzero7283]

I'm confused by the Cosmo smartwatch/phone offering for kids. T-mobile already offers a watch for kids with those same features and it's usually free for the watch at $5 a month. 🤔

[@rubinixcube8866]

Not going to lie, that AI printer tech is actual useful and will be so helpful for so many people - even techie ones!

[@LonSeidman]

Agreed ! I'm looking forward to checking it out with my own uses cases.

[@christothegreat1]

Lo, please would you test out the humanoid Robots see if you can get them to break out of their AI restrictive jail.

1:57, "whatever he hits, he destroys."

[@altairiv6326]

@ 2:28 The Display Wireless TV with Suction Cup Mounting, I will question the mounting. It is not practical and with very limited use. Let's see it suction itself and stay on a normal wall for more than a couple minutes before crashing to the ground. A normal wall (drywall) in any building is not smooth. Or how about on a convention center wall, those walls are usually either some type of textured wallpaper or sound quieting material/fabric. I don't know of any homes that have walls that are as smooth as glass. That TV will its " Suction Cup Mounting" has very limited use. It will only be able to stick to something extremely smooth like glass, plexiglass or highly polished metal. If I need to bring an extremely large stand, like they did, to hold that thing, it would be faster and simpler to just install the original stand that usually comes with the TV. What were they thinking? They were too busy seeing if they could do it vs should they do it. I would bet that it will be off the market within a year of going on the market (if it even reaches the market) due to lack of sales.

[@PeterKnagge]

I am wondering if the tv unit will have suction once the battery dies??

[@ShaneMcGrath.]

Still no new Synology 8 bay NAS? o.O

[@Quast]

13:35 I have there an old trick that might come in handy Ctrl+C and Crtl+V :>

If you tell something about electric unicycles on CES, would be cool.

for the average person I can see the ai printer feature being pretty useful but me being my families IT guy I have begrudgingly learned how to do most of what the ai is shown to do already

[@7_of_9]

Now that Apple finally installed the same Android USB-C to iPhones. Does that mean that MagSafe for iPhone will work with the rest of the world? I'm doing 80watts of charging on my latest Android

[@michaelg6686]

I like the Kid watch. it replaces the AirTag .

[@diarrabouba9909]

THANKS

[@jamesdelaplain]

I was stuck trying to figure out why you said one gig per second on that USB this extreme pro, and so I think maybe you meant to say something different as we now are at USB4 almost 5, which b4 usb3.2 2017 as a matter of fact , and that would be about 20 gigs per second Now 4 is 40gbps. If it's a terabyte, maybe the transfer rate is slower. But yeah, It prob wouldn't be 1gbps.

[@joshuaguenin9507]

its definitely 1000 MB, which is what he said. Its the Sandisk Extreme PRO dual drive

[@BreakTime10101]

Lon - that MacBook was running 5 displays?

[@LonSeidman]

Yes four via display link

[@Craig-bo5ir]

Have you thought about using a clip on mic, instead of carrying around a mic?

[@LonSeidman]

Too noisy for a clip on- you need a good handheld cardiod for this environment

[@BreakTime10101]

@@LonSeidmanwhat about a headset or earbuds?

[@pangea1now]

Great content. I am glad I came across this channel. I am curious about one of the EV's there, the Aptera. It's a solar charging EV and I wanted a review from someone that can be critical and honest. There's hype and haters and I just want an honest review. Thanks.

[@LonSeidman]

I can try to look for it. I have yet to see a vehicle solar panel that can provide any meaningful power to charge the car.

[@7_of_9]

Oh snap HP showing the bird from Print Artist software 1997

[@0LoneTech]

Regarding DisplayLink, I expect it's still the case that they require special drivers and fight to prevent others supporting their hardware. Planned obsolescence comes to mind, particularly having seen companies like FTDI and HP sabotage their drivers.

[@traviscunningham_1]

I’ve seen a lot of coverage of devices with retractable cables built in. That seems to be a trend. What are some other trends in your opinion? Other than putting AI on anything and everything possible…

[@altairiv6326]

@ 17:47 the WePower self powered sensors, they are chasing the companies that have already produced what is called Kinetic Sidewalks. Electric power is produced by just walking or driving on them. There are cities that are already installing these sidewalks. This company is about two to three years behind their innovation and attempting run to catch up. They might have already missed the boat unless they can show their product can generate more that 2 to 4 joules, which generates an average of 5 watts of energy: enough to operate an LED bulb for 30 seconds, It will also need to be more cost efficient and last longer.
