Robosen Optimus Prime Elite ($699)
A less expensive version of a model that was released last year, the Optimus Prime Elite stands 16 inches tall and has 60 microchips and 27 high-precision servo motors that allow it to automatically transform from robot to semi truck via voice commands.

Cync Dynamic Light Strips ($60)
The Cync Dynamic Light Strips are the hottest new light strips for bedrooms and entertainment areas. While teens will love them, they’re also great for elevating any space because the segments can be controlled individually, for making the perfect ambient light in any room. They’re also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control.

Bartesian Duet ($279 normally, down to $199 at Walmart for Black Friday)
The new Bartesian Duet is a more compact version of the original robot cocktail machine, so it’s perfect for anyone who has a favorite cocktail of choice. Just be sure to give your friend or family member at least one pack of their favorite drink along with the machine, whether it’s a margarita, martini or old-fashioned. The price goes for $199 at Walmart for Black Friday.

Therabody SmartGoggles ($199)
The Therabody SmartGoggles certainly aren't the most stylish wearable device ever tested, but they certainly seem to be effective. The goggles, which actually look like an inflated sleep mask, give the user's eyes a warm massage that follows the tempo of their heart rate, as read by a small sensor that makes contact with their cheek.

Ultimate carry-on luggage for the techie traveler. It features a power bank as well as a place for wirelessly charging your phone, which no other smart suitcase currently has. It also comes with an AirTag and a special compartment to secure it, that way you can track your luggage and make sure you always know where it is, even if you check it at the airport.
