CES 2026: The eTeknix team is here at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, bringing you coverage of the latest, greatest, and next-generation of PC hardware, components, gaming tech, and much more! While we’re currently on the show floor taking many pictures and having meetings, we will endeavor to update our live gallery throughout the day, which you can check out here!
Gigabyte
As one of the leading PC hardware brands, Gigabyte always have a big showing at CES, and 2026 is no exception. Gigabyte have a lot of product ranges, such as motherboards, monitors, coolers, power supplies, systems and so much more, so there’s always going to be something for everyone here.
One of their star products are the new Aero X16 laptops, featuring the AMD Ryzen AI 400 processor, for more powerful on-device AI acceleration. While they’ll also have new Gaming A18 Pro laptop, measuring in at just 20mm thickeness, and their extremely powerful MASTER 16, which feature the latest AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D CPU with an RTX 5090 laptop GPU. However, all these new laptops are powered by a combination of AMD CPUs and Nvidia 50-series graphics cards, giving you some serious mobile performance options.
Laptop cooling technology continues to improve to meet the demands of extreme hardware too, with their new thermal design capable of cooling up to 270W combined over the CPU and GPU blocks, and also features a 0dB passive cooling mode for daily work tasks.
Wood?
I also expect the wood trim in PC hardware trend to kick off in a big way, but it never really did. Every year we see one or two brands throw some wooden highlights into their hardware, and I absolutely love it. This year, Gigabyte has gone for a stunning X870E AERO X3D Wood Custom Gaming PC, and it’s full of cool little details.
There’s wood decals and details on the case, the ram and even the motherboard. Plus, this is by far one of the coolest looking PSU shrouds I have ever seen. This is a very pretty system, and I hope we see more like it from Gigabyte in the near future.
OLED
Why reveal one new OLED when you can have four! At CES 2026, Gigabyte unleashed their latest 4th Gen OLED panel monitors, with the ultra-wide QD-OLED MO34WQC36, the 4K QD-OLED MO32U24, QD-OLED MO27Q2A and MO27Q2A ICE. The first two now feature their ObsidianShield film on the panel, OLED panels are notoriously scratch prone, so this helps toughen things up, with a surface hardness of 3H vs the older 2H coating, plus they’re now True Black 500 certified, as they new coating improves black levels, and enhances contrast.
The MO34WQC36 also features their new V-stripe sub-pixel structure, greatly improving text cliarity; a common issue on some older OLED models. Plus, their MO27Q28GR features a glossy WOLED panel, allowing it to deliver a much more bright and vibrant image, making it ideal for use in a brighter room such as the office environment.
Graphics Cards
One of the more unique products has to be the new Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 INFINITY Graphics card, which features one of the more unique and interesting cooler designs we’ve seen on any modern graphics card. With their unique WINDFORCE HYPERBURST cooling system, it features a separated PCB design, allows for what they’re calling a Double Flow Through, ensuring that air can pass unobstructed through both ends of the heatsink, and providing significantly more cooling and airflow to the backplate. The card also features a powerful Overdrive Fan, which you can use under extreme loads, such as RTX AI computing tasks.
