Everything we’re excited about from CES

Our journalists have been on the ground all week at the Consumer Electronics Show, the annual tech-centered trade conference. Frankly, most of the so-called “innovations” on display are overhyped (table tennis-playing robot, anyone?) and may never even publicly launch. But CES lets us see where the industry is heading and what we might want to test.

This year, we’re eyeing a nearly paper-thin TV, a humanoid machine that claims to fold laundry, and a speaker that looks like a sculptural work of art, to name a few.
