CES 2026 is MASSIVE this year–
BUT FIRST (before we talk about everything CES)–
IF you LOVE GADGETS — AND YOU LOVE A GOOD GAME SHOW— then check out my YouTube Guess-The-Gadget Game Show called “WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?” (it’s also on TikTok and streaming on DBTV !! )
The Game Show is sort of “Shark Tank” meets “What’s My Line?” / “I’ve Got A Secret”
During each episode panelists try to guess the identity of a “mystery gadget”
How’s your GADGET IQ?

ASUS Zenbook DUO — If you’ve ever wished you could take your dual-monitor office setup with you to a coffee shop or on a plane, the new 2026 Zenbook DUO is pretty much a dream come true. ASUS managed to fit two gorgeous 14-inch OLED screens into one laptop that’s actually smaller and easier to carry than last year’s version. The best part? The gap between the two screens is almost gone, so when you prop it up, it feels like one giant, fluid workspace. It’s built with that same tough ASUS Ceraluminum™ finish we’re seeing across the new lineup, so you don’t have to baby it—it handles scratches and fingerprints like a pro. This new Zenbook Duo has a battery that lasts much longer. There’s now a seamless transition between both screens. There are now six speakers, so when you watch a movie, it feels like you’re in a theater. And the whole laptop is now encased with ASUS’ ceraluminum coating which makes it scratch and smudge resistant and lighter than the previous version. Whether you’re a pro who needs to juggle ten windows at once or just someone who likes having a movie playing on one screen while scrolling on the other, this new version of the Zenbook Duo is built to keep up. It has a massive battery to power both displays all day and a new six-speaker system that sounds incredible. It even has a clever magnetic keyboard that snaps right into place when you want to use it like a “normal” laptop. It’s basically the ultimate “do-everything” device that adapts to however you’re working that day. For more info visit ASUS.com.

TDK’s AIsight aka I-Sight – CES is all about cutting edge technology, and a great example of that is the new AIsight from TDK. This is wearable-technology that takes AI Glasses to a new level. Here’s how it works. Using AI Glasses, you have 2 cameras looking out onto the world. And now 2 more cameras looking back at your eyes, tracking the movement of each eye. There’s chip in the bridge of the glasses which coordinates everything. By tracking your eyes—you can tell AI to “see what I’m seeing.” So, for example, as you glance at souvenirs in store, AI-sight sees which object caught your eye. Another example, you glance at table filled with food and your eye stares at the pizza in the upper left of the table. AIsight will it’s the pizza slice you are interested in learning about. Your AI Glasses won’t have to guess what you’re looking at—it will know because AIsight is tracking your eye movements. AIsight is made possible because of TDK’s cutting-edge chips and other AR device technologies. TDK’s advancements will make AI glasses more comfortable and more convenient.
