### **Roborock Saros Z70**
We had great expectations for this product, and it certainly met them. In fact, it amazed us by offering two versions.
The **Roborock Saros Z70** is a robotic vacuum that includes a robotic arm for picking up items like socks from the ground. While its everyday usefulness is still to be determined, it’s unquestionably one of the coolest robotic vacuums we’ve seen.
But Roborock isn’t the only contender. **Dreame**, another manufacturer of robotic vacuums, unveiled its prototype with a robotic arm as well. While Dreame’s model is still under development, the Roborock Saros Z70 is expected to be available in April 2025.

It can handle extensive language models with up to 200 billion parameters (think of ChatGPT 3.5-level capabilities).
With a price tag of $3,000, this AI-oriented supercomputer could transform app development upon its launch in May 2025. It’s a serious tool for dedicated developers, but it’s also an envy-inducing piece of tech for those who appreciate cutting-edge computing.

### **Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090**
The worst-kept secret leading to CES 2025 was Nvidia’s new RTX 50-series graphics cards. And predictably, the company delivered.
The flagship **GeForce RTX 5090** promises to double the performance of its predecessor, the RTX 4090. Some of this improvement stems from Nvidia’s DLSS 4 technology, which utilizes AI to boost frame rates, though not all games may support it.
Retailing at $1,999, the RTX 5090 is a powerhouse for serious gamers. For those watching their wallets, Nvidia also introduced the RTX 5080 ($999), 5070 Ti ($799), and 5070 ($549). While these models won’t reach the 5090’s performance level, they still surpass the 40-series cards, making them significant for gaming fans.

That’s the allure of the **Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6**, a laptop featuring a rollable OLED display. It’s a functional device that provides additional screen space when necessary. The downside? It will retail for $3,499 when it launches in June 2025. For many, that price might be prohibitive, but it’s hard not to appreciate the innovation.
