1. CES or Consumer Electronics Show always gives a sneak peek into the future of consumer tech and 2024 was no different. CES serves as a barometer for emerging trends and technologies, offering insights into the direction of the consumer technology market and anticipating the products and innovations that will shape our lives in the years to come. From cutting-edge gadgets to transformative technologies, CES remains a pivotal event that captures the imagination of both industry professionals and consumers worldwide, setting the pace for innovation and shaping the future of technology.

As expected, this year we saw a lot of AI (Artificial Intelligence) in most things on the show floor. We also witnessed an AI pocket device that aims to replace modern-day smartphones. So let's start with that as we list the best of CES 2024:

2. Rabbit R1 was the biggest surprise from CES 2024, an AI device that wants you to give up on your smartphones. This square device, which is about half the size of a smartphone, relies on simple controls to interact with the company's Large Action Model. You can speak or type your commands or queries and even use the camera for object recognition and machine learning. The company says its Rabbit OS is lightweight since it leaves the heavy computing up to the cloud. The r1 supports Bluetooth 5.0, dual-band WiFi, and LTE 4G for cellular connectivity. It will be available from March. Priced at $199
