When I recently wrote about the most noteworthy AI gadgets of 2024, I couldn’t help but wonder if the tech industry was nearing the limit of what’s possible with AI. But just a few weeks into 2025, the answer is already a resounding “no”—there is no limit in sight.

2024, a year of AI breakthroughs and backlash
2024 is drawing to a close, marking itself as one of the most influential and significant years in Artificial Intelligence (AI) history. Let’s take a moment to recap the changes that have defined this year, when AI transcended from a buzzword to become a product in itself.
We’ve dealt with failed gadgets, like the Humane Ai Pin. This wearable integrated a camera, a projector and a speaker into a magnetic pin.

ChatGPT gained mainstream popularity in 2023 and changed how Big Tech companies approached artificial intelligence (AI). This marked a major turning point in the AI Wars, a race between leading tech companies to develop the most advanced AI technology.
While AI has been studied and developed for decades, Large Language Models (LLMs) have managed to capture the consumer market’s imagination. Conversational and generative AI finally feels human-like, especially now that models are being trained using massive datasets.
Mainstream media has struggled to explain what LLMs are and what they can actually do, often focusing on the most alarming aspects of these AI models’ capabilities. Will AI eliminate our jobs? Will AI cause the end of the world? Will AI abuse your personal data?

I fell in love with the Pixelbook about two months ago. I saw a coworker at Google using one, and I was immediately impressed by its extreme thinness. The Pixelbook is as thin as two USB-C ports stacked. Why hadn’t I paid any attention to such a beautiful device until now?

Microsoft announces new Surface devices! Their light form factor blends the experience from a traditional laptop with a tablet. A new Windows version, especially built for low-power ARM processors, promises security and performance improvements. It gives users access to their favorite Windows apps with an all-day battery life. Microsoft believes these 2-in-1 gadgets can finally become their Apple-killer competitors.
You’d think that was referring to the new Surface devices announced at Microsoft’s Copilot+ PC event earlier this month. Or perhaps you thought that was referring to the Surface Pro X, launched in 2019. But in fact, it was actually talking about the Surface RT, launched in 2012.
That’s right, the Copilot+ PC launch is Microsoft’s third attempt to usher a new generation of Windows devices using the ARM architecture. What happened in the previous two?
