CES is still trucking along in Las Vegas, Nevada, and we’re reporting from the show floor and surrounding venues to bring you coverage of all the hot gear coming in 2025. Be sure to check out our Day 0 and Day 1 articles for even more news from the show.

Corsair Xeneon Edge secondary touch screen

The best portable monitors have burgeoned into an exciting category for computer users who need additional real estate to remain productive. However, Corsair has a slightly different take on this segment with its new Xeneon Edge, a 14.5-inch landscape touch display (2560 x 720) that can fit below your existing monitor. You can even magnetically mount it to the side of your PC case.

The primary purpose of the $249 Xeneon Edge is to provide quick, glanceable information like fan speeds and CPU/GPU temperatures. Even though Windows sees the Xeneon Edge as a standard monitor, you'll can use widgets to customize the display to your liking.

New MSI Project Zero motherboards arrive at CES

MSI’s Project Zero, along with similar initiatives like Back to Future and Project Stealth, is aimed at reducing clutter and improving airflow in your PC case by moving data, fan, power and RGB connections to the back of the motherboard. Now, MSI has introduced a trio of new motherboards.

The Pro Z890-S WiFi PZ isn't as well equipped, as it have just one PCIe 5.0 slot (but two PCIe 4.0 slots), and only 2.5 GbE (although it retains Wi-Fi 7.

Pricing and availability isn't yet known for these new Project Zero motherboards.
