Best Mobile Device: ASUS ZenFone AR
The ZenFone AR is the first phone that doubles down on the future, promising both virtual reality (with Google's Daydream platform) and augmented reality through Google's Tango technology.
No other smartphone does both.
To do both features justice, ASUS has crammed in 8GB of RAM, three camera sensors and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 821 processor, all wrapped up under a 5.7-inch AMOLED display.

Best PC: Dell XPS 13 2-in-1
The Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 has everything we want in an ultraportable. It retains the refined style of the previous XPS 13, which itself was the best Windows laptop of both 2015 and 2016.
This 2-in-1 can be folded over like a tablet and, thanks to Intel's latest CPUs, it's more powerful than similarly thin machines.

“CES 2017 shifted to a new level as large and small companies from around the globe gathered to reveal solutions for many of our world’s most challenging problems,” said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, Consumer Technology Association (CTA).
“Our industry is bettering the world through connectivity and innovation, touching literally every facet of our lives. Today’s connected world was on full display this week at CES 2017 – our largest, boldest show in history.”
|
Best TV Product & Best of the Best: LG OLED W-Series
LG's flagship OLED is our Best TV winner for the third consecutive CES.
Even as the technology is popping up across other brands, as and LCDs continue to improve, this is still the best display we've seen during this show.
Shifting its smarts and inputs to its Dolby Atmos soundbar enabled the "wallpaper-thin" design that makes it seem more like a window into another world than any TV we've seen before.

“From startups to established businesses, traditional tech companies, along with those in new industries like travel and sports, came together and vigorously embraced technology for the 50th anniversary of CES,” said Karen Chupka, senior vice president, CES and corporate business strategy, CTA.
“This year’s show was all about connectivity – both in the form of the technologies unveiled and in the valuable face-to-face business connections happening throughout the show.”
|
Best Accessibility Tech: Whill Model M
Whill's Model M is an electric wheelchair meant to boost mobility for people with disabilities.
The patented omni-wheel technology enables maneuverability and makes this wheelchair a clear winner in this category.

“CES is the world’s most important technology trade show, but now it is so much more,” said John Penney, chief strategy officer, Starz.
“By gathering the world's great innovators, companies, technologies, products and entrepreneurs in one place, CES is now an integral part of the global innovation system. CES and its attendees are working to build a better future for us all.”

Best Digital Health and Fitness Product & Best Wearable: Willow smart breast pump
The technology world is so dominated by men that it's so rare to see a gadget designed to solve a problem that's wholly the preserve of women.
Willow has crafted a bra-worn breast pump that tackles an issue you rarely hear discussed here at CES.
Too many wearables exist for gimmicky reasons; only a few actually make our lives more convenient. Willow's smart breast pump belongs in the latter category.
This thoughtfully designed device is for mothers who want to avoid being chained to a wall outlet while breastfeeding and instead have more time to themselves or to spend with their babies.

“CES 2017 was a global showcase that demonstrated that we are in a new era of innovation where technology is valued not just for the devices it produces but for the experiences it makes possible,” said Bridget Karlin, managing director, IOT, Intel.
|
Best Automotive Technology & Best Innovation (Disruptive Tech): Honda Riding Assist
Once again CES has transformed itself into a de facto auto show. But amid all the future-looking, AI-based vehicles, it was the self-balancing Honda Riding Assist motorcycle that ultimately made the biggest impression.
Using research from the automaker's UniCub mobility scooter and Asimo robot, the bike stays upright on its own without any help from the rider.

Connectivity was everywhere at CES 2017 – enabling nearly every product category, from self-driving cars and smart cities to digital health and 5G – and a major focus throughout CES conference tracks.
5G will revolutionize our connected world, and the entire connected ecosystem came together at CES 2017.
|
Best Gaming Product & People's Choice Winner: Razer Project Ariana
Razer is, yet again, the winner of our People's Choice award!
This time it's for Project Ariana, a 4K projector that expands your game beyond the confines of your monitor.
In a sea of laptops, mice, monitors and game streaming services, Project Ariana stood out.

“CES 2017 was a coming out party for the future of 5G which we estimate will generate a net 20 million new jobs,” said Dr. Jim Mault, vice president and chief medical officer, Qualcomm Life.
|
Best Startup: Amber Agriculture
Plenty of startups promise solutions to problems that are either overblown or don't really exist, but we can't say the same about Amber Agriculture.
With Amber's array of sensors, farmers can more easily check the quality of their stored grain and get their wares to the companies that make our food at the right time.

Other top level U.S. government attendees included representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Energy, Department of Homeland Security, International Trade Commission and Patent and Trademark Office.

Best Connected Home Product: Zera Food Recycler by WLabs of Whirlpool Corporation
The Whirlpool's Zera Food Recycler makes making your own fertilizer not only easy, but efficient. For urban gardeners or folks who just want to reduce the amount of waste they send to local landfills, the fertilizer-making device is one-button simple, turning food scraps into fertilizer in about a week.

Best Robot or Drone: UVify Draco HD
At CES this year we've seen a slew of drones, but UVify stood out for a number of reasons.
Drone racing is becoming increasingly popular, but there are still many challenges for new pilots to get into the sport.
UVivy's Draco dissolves many of those, with a modular, easy-to-repair design, high-quality live video feeds from the camera and assisted flight modes for learning.

“CES educates public officials about our industry,” said John Godfrey, senior vice president of public policy, Samsung Electronics.
“It was great to see so many key officials at this year’s show.”
CES is the global stage for innovation, with attendees from more than 150 countries and more than 100 official national delegations.
|
Best Home Theater Product: Dish AirTV
The Engadget team spent a particularly long time debating this category. In the end, though, AirTV's blend of streaming and over-the-air broadcast television won us over.
The Sling TV guide neatly organizes live channels alongside Netflix, Android TV apps and whatever networks you can receive for free with an OTA antenna.

Best Offbeat Product: Fisher-Price Smart Cycle

Best Maker-Friendly Technology: Lego Boost
Lego has been doing that for decades, but its new Boost set lets you build five different motorized creations and program their actions with the accompanying tablet app.
It's similar to Lego Mindstorms but much simpler - created with younger builders in mind.
