Flying Bike Leo Flight
At CES 2026, Leo Flight unveiled the JetBike, a single-seat flying bike without propellers. Its lift and propulsion are provided by a system of dozens of air jets, making the device safer than its counterparts.
The JetBike is claimed to be able to reach speeds of up to 97 km/h, with a maximum flying distance of about 24 km. The time in the air on a single charge is limited to 15 minutes.
A pilot’s license is not required to fly the JetBike in the U.S. (per FAA Part 103 classification), but the manufacturer strongly recommends training or practicing on flight simulators. The cost of the device is $99,900. Deliveries are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.
LEGO Smart Play
At CES 2026, LEGO unveiled Smart Play, a technology to “bring constructors to life.” Smart Brick is an ordinary-looking cube with a mini-computer inside (sensors, light, speaker, radio module). Built-in accelerometer allows light effects and sounds to correspond to real actions during the game. The cube “recognizes” other smart parts and reacts to assembly – for example, it lights up and makes sounds.
The system works without cameras or microphones, and the data is encrypted. The first “Star Wars” kits will be released on March 1, 2026, priced between $70 and $160.
HP EliteBoard G1a – a computer in a keyboard
At CES 2026, HP unveiled the EliteBoard G1a, a mini-PC integrated into a full-size keyboard case. The device looks like a regular office keyboard with a USB-C cable, but inside is a processor, memory, storage, active cooler, stereo speakers, and ports.
EliteBoard G1a runs on AMD Ryzen AI 300-series processors, supports up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM and up to 2TB of SSD. There’s a replaceable battery (35Wh) that provides up to 3.5 hours of battery life. The device connects to monitors via USB-C (two 4K displays are supported), comes with a Bluetooth mouse, and a fingerprint scanner is optionally available. Weight – about 726 g, thickness – 17 mm, OS – Windows 11 Home. Sales will start in March 2026, with pricing to be announced later.
