Razer surprises at CES 2025 with the thinnest gaming laptop, Project Arielle, Project Ava, and an immersive ecosystem with Chroma RGB and Spatial Audio.

Razer's Project Arielle heating and cooling gaming chair is the company's big concept for CES 2025, and I can't wait until I can buy it.

At CES 2025, we had the chance to see everything new Razer was showing off which ran the gamut from practical to extravagant. Some new products are refreshes like the updated Razer Blade 16 laptops outfitted with the upcoming Nvidia RTX 5090 mobile GPUs,

At a glance, Project Arielle looks like your normal mesh office chair, complete with a comfortable lumbar-supported design and Razer’s iconic RGB lighting. However, this chair has an extra motor at its base to warm or cool it as desired.

An “AI esports coach,” Project AVA is essentially a companion that can watch your footage alongside you and provide you with advice as you play. This works for both single player and multiplayer titles, as I saw in demonstrations showing off AVA at work in both Black Myth: Wukong and League of Legends.

With Project Arielle, a bladeless fan system pumps air through a gaming chair to keep gamers cool during long gaming sessions. Project Ava aims to help you level up your skills.

Razer's prototype gaming chair is fitted with fans that can cool you down during intense gaming sessions or warm you up on a cold day.

This year's CES event is nearly at an end, and we've heard lots of weird and wonderful tech announcements come out of it. But among the battery toasters and tea-cooling cat robots, there's new tech that looks useable, effective, and promises to solve real life problems.

Razer unveiled a bevy of products at CES 2025. Their air conditioned chair and their AI gaming coach had me cynical, but I'm now a believer.
