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.
Indeed, what we can achieve with AI seems unbounded, as the recent CES 2025 event in Las Vegas proved. New AI products were unveiled, showcasing astonishing features and making unbelievable promises, practically taken out of a Black Mirror episode.

Microsoft announces new Surface devices! Their light form factor blends the experience from a traditional laptop with a tablet.

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.
