Acer Predator 21 X gaming laptop
Acer had me at $9,000 gaming laptop (that's about £7,300 or AU$12,400). But it also has a ginormous 21-inch curved screen -- the first in a laptop -- and an eye-tracking camera. Of course, it has nine heat pipes to cool the two GeForce GTX 1080 GPUs and two power supplies, four speakers and two subwoofers, plus it weighs 19.4 pounds (8.8 kg).
Already available February 2017.

Norton Core router
I know what you're thinking: "A router?!" I have no clue if it's any good, but this geometric orb, available in gold or silver, certainly doesn't look like a piece of networking technology. It also offers real-time network security for every device connected to it.
Available for preorder for $200 (about £165 or AU$275).
LeEco smart bikes
Watching the bicyclists speed down New York streets while staring at their phones is scary enough. Integrating a 4-inch Android touchscreen into the bicycle for navigation, music playback and walk-talkie talking to other people not watching where they're going, as LeEco has done, is just asking for trouble. But useful!
Available in the US in the spring.LeEco smart bikes
PowerVision PowerRay underwater drone
This underwater drone can submerge up to 98 feet (30 meters) and records 4K video streamed to your phone, which you use to navigate. Not impressed? OK, with its add-on Fishfinder sonar it can detect fish up to 131 feet (40 meters) away and and lures them with a blue light. Still not wowed? PowerVision will be offering VR goggles that allow you to robot around by tilting your head.
Preorders started on February 27.
