Summary

We're halfway through CES 2026, and one of our biggest takeaways is that it's going to be a rough year for the PC industry. In this episode, Devindra chats with Engadget's Daniel Cooper about Intel, AMD, NVIDIA and the sad state of the PC industry. We've got some new CPUs, but the volatile RAM market will likely make everything expensive this year. Also, they dive into Dell's revival of the XPS brand, as well as iPolish's smart nails and Subtle's AI-powered VoiceBuds.
