It’s that time once again: CES 2026 is here. Think of CES like a harbinger of what’s next in technology. Every January, the industry descends upon Las Vegas to pull back the curtain on the products that will power the upcoming year. Not only will you gawk at massive walls of bleeding-edge OLED monitors and oddball demoes of all sorts of PC gear, but CES often serves as the grand reveal for new generations of processors — and the army of laptops you’ll find them inside. This year is no different — but what is different is that for CES 2026, PCWorld’s crack team of PC experts will be blogging about the gaudy sights and fresh new tech goodies live as we see them. The show proper kicks off Tuesday, January 6, but many of the biggest blockbuster keynotes will take event on Monday, and CES Unveiled will even showcase a horde of goodies Sunday night. It’s a packed week, y’all — and the PCWorld team is here and primed to cover all of it. Check out our early primers on what we expect from major PC chipmakers and the laptops of CES 2026, then bookmark this page and check back throughout the week for the hottest announcements and wildest sights from the show. Here’s hoping we don’t get too unhinged as the announcements, interviews, and briefings bleed into a week-long haze. It’s Vegas baby. Let’s get weird! ~ Brad Chacos 17 mins ago , By bchacos White Castle² On the Vegas strip, White Castle is literally a White Castle. Back to tech shortly but ? — Brad Chacos Link copied SHARE 24 mins ago , By bchacos Jensen welcomes the crowds to Las Vegas CES 2026 hasn’t kicked off yet, but the signs are everywhere — literally. Not gonna lie, seeing a 100 foot-tall digital display of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang smiling benevolently down at the crowds from a gigantic techno-pedestal, in front of high-end Forum Shops dedicated to former Roman emperor Julius Caesar, feels a bit on the nose. Don’t be surprised if AI is the major theme of the show yet again, and Huang certainly is the kingmaker in that field. Look for Nvidia’s livestream keynote to go live at 1p.m. Pacific Time on January 5. –Brad Chacos Link copied SHARE
