For most of the world this week represented a return to work after a much needed break from the chaos that was 2024, but for the tech world it meant one thing – CES 2025.
The Las Vegas-based event kicks off the tech calendar for many and often sets the tone in terms of what we’re going to see from some of the world’s biggest industry players. Given the flurry of announcements made this week, we have compiled two lists below detailing the announcements and stories that we deemed worth highlighting.
The first list comprises content from international publications and the press rooms of several big tech companies, including a pair of exciting looking EVs from Honda, a biodegradable paper (yes, that’s right) battery, a rollable laptop from Lenovo, Samsung’s Ballie robot concept coming to market, and an off-the-grid connectivity solution from HMD.
The second list is coverage direct from Hypertext, looking at some of the most notable hardware that was announced at CES 2025, along with what is expected to land in South Africa, when it will do so, and how much it will cost when it does.
With January only set to ramp up in terms of tech announcements over the coming weeks, take a look at the roundups below to ensure you’re well caught up.
