Devindra Hardawar and Cherlynn Low, hosts of Engadget's podcast, are wrapping up their coverage of CES 2026, the tech giant conference where hundreds of announcements from top brands were made. The duo took some time to reflect on their favorite moments from the show, including the latest innovations in TVs, health technology, and consumer electronics.
In a recent episode, Devindra and Cherlynn had a chance to sit down with Eric Migicovsky, the founder of Pebble smartwatches, who has been working on reviving his brand. Migicovsky discussed his plans for a new smartwatch that's designed to be more user-friendly and innovative than its predecessors.
One area that caught their attention was the latest advancements in artificial intelligence, particularly when it comes to notetaking. A company called Eyebot unveiled an AI-powered ring that can transcribe handwritten notes with remarkable accuracy. This technology has huge potential for individuals with disabilities who struggle with typing or handwriting.
Engadget's Best of CES 2026 list featured a range of products, from Lego's Smart Brick, which lets kids build and invent, to Lenovo's innovative rollable laptop screen that could change the way we work on the go.
For those who missed out on some of the highlights from the show, Engadget has recaps available for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The company also published an official Best of CES 2026 list featuring its top picks for the year's most exciting innovations.
The team also touched on some of the more unexpected announcements made at the conference, including a super quiet leafblower that could revolutionize gardening and a new type of LED/Infrared face mask from L'Oréal.

I mean, who wouldn't want a more user-friendly watch? The AI technology from Eyebot is pretty mind-blowing too, especially for people with disabilities. Being able to transcribe handwritten notes is such a game-changer! 
It's also awesome to see companies like Lego and Lenovo pushing the boundaries of tech and innovation. That Lego Smart Brick sounds like so much fun for kids... and let's be real, who wouldn't want a rollable laptop screen? 
The quiet leafblower thing is kinda weird, but hey, if it can make gardening easier that's all I care about 
Like, who wouldn't want an AI-powered ring to transcribe their handwritten notes? That's literally gonna change the game for people with disabilities, you know? 
But what really caught my attention was the quiet leafblower... I mean, who needs all that noise when you're trying to garden in peace? 
. And can you imagine being able to take notes in class without having to worry about writing them out? Game changer for students and professionals alike 
! The Eyebot AI-powered ring is literally mind-blowing - can you imagine being able to take notes without having to worry about handwriting or typing? It's gonna be a game-changer for people with disabilities 
. And omg, that rollable laptop screen from Lenovo is SO cool - it's like having your own portable workshop on the go 
anyway back to ces 2026... what was up with all the cool gadgets? i mean lego smart brick is soooo cool 
but that rollable laptop screen sounds like a total game changer 
the idea of an ai-powered ring transcribing handwritten notes is game changing for people with disabilities - it's like a superpower! 
and lenovo's rollable laptop screen? mind blown! 
the fact that l'oreal came out with an led/infrared face mask is also crazy - talk about tech meeting skincare! 
what's not to love about ces 2026? 
I can only imagine the possibilities for people with disabilities. And a quiet leafblower? That's genius! My neighbor is always yelling at me to turn down my music, not the other way around 
. but what really caught my attention was the leafblower thing... super quiet? how do they make that even possible? 
. And don't even get me started on that Pebble smartwatch founder, Eric Migicovsky... what's his real motive? Is he just trying to cash in on the nostalgia of old watch owners or is there something more sinister at play? 
I mean, we've got smartwatches and laptops, but something like this just takes it to the next level. And can you imagine all the possibilities? Like, being able to take notes in meetings without having to type them out...
