When it comes to the most impressive electronics at CES this week, you're gonna hear a different story from every source. Besides all the super-slim 4K TV's, self-driving cars, and smartphones, there were plenty of gadgets that caught the eyes of many. From wearable gadgets, computers, fitness gear, gadgets for your pets and your babies, windows, and car, it would be easy to get overwhelmed seeing it all in person. Luckily, we can just sit back, read the headlines, and formulate our own decisions about what we think was the coolest stuff. Without any further adieu, here is mine.

For laptop and convertible devices, the gold stars went to Lenovo and Dell. Lenovo released its LaVie models, claiming them to be the lightest 13.3-inch notebooks on the market. However, Dell pushed out one of its sleekest looking hardware ever in its new XPS 13, pretty much making it the winner out of the two. Not only is the XPS 13 super light and beautiful, it's got an introductory price of just $800, and is wowing reviewers with its 15-hour battery life.

Here's something goofy - a heated insole for your shoe. Digitsole is an innovative foot product that can be controlled via smartphone. Not only for heating (although this would be great if you live in Alaska), it can track your footsteps and calories through out the day.

Another temperature related idea could help take the headache out of dealing with a sick kiddo. Called TempTraq, this soft patch thermometer is worn on your child, and works with Bluetooth to send updates to your smartphone throughout a 24 hour period. It makes monitoring body temperature easy, so you can pinpoint exactly when it's time to go to the doctor.

Let's give it to virtual reality. It only keeps getting bigger and better, and now AltspaceVR is working with Intel to create the world's first “immersive social VR platform” (Slash Gear). This means no matter what brand of headset you might be wearing or where, you could interact with another user in the same world. Now that's a great idea for VR gaming.

Last but not least is the most popular device at this year's CES, called Witricity. The power to charge your gadgets is a precious commodity, and that's exactly what this open electrical outlet does. Without the need for any wires, cables, or plugs, Witricity “exploits resonant magnetic coupling by emitting an electromagnetic field that extends several feet from the charging base” (Beta Boston). It's basically a constant electricity absorber, and can charge up to 10 smartphones, tablets, and other wireless gadgets as long as they are placed near it.

Out of the 3,700 companies sprawled across 2.1 million square feet of space, CES brings some of the most fascinating gadgets of the year. Whether fun, futuristic, or odd, many will continue to influence that truly massive tech wonderland out there.
