As CES 2026 comes to a close in Las Vegas, one trend has become unmistakably clear: AI is no longer an emerging concept — it is now the core force driving the evolution of consumer electronics and modern computing platforms.
From AI PCs and gaming systems to intelligent robotics and data centers, artificial intelligence is redefining performance benchmarks, system architectures, and user experiences across industries.
Against this backdrop, high-performance, stable, and sustainably supplied storage solutions have become essential infrastructure for AI to move from concept to real-world deployment.
At CES 2026, KingSpec demonstrated how advanced storage technologies can comprehensively support AI and high-performance computing across diverse application scenarios.

AI was not just a concept at CES 2026 — it was fully embodied. Across the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), especially in the North Hall, physical AI and humanoid robots emerged as one of the most striking and undeniable highlights of the show.

Compared with previous years, the scale and maturity of humanoid robotics at CES 2026 marked a clear inflection point. Dozens of well-known Chinese AI, robotics, and smart home companies appeared at CES in a highly concentrated manner, spanning core components, full humanoid platforms, and real-world application scenarios. From industry leaders to fast-growing “hidden champions,” these companies demonstrated not only technical capabilities, but also growing global influence in the physical AI ecosystem.

According to incomplete statistics, at least 28 Chinese humanoid robotics companies participated in CES 2026, a dramatic increase compared with last year, when only a handful of companies such as Unitree and Galbot appeared sporadically. This year, more than half of the humanoid robots showcased on the show floor came from China — a clear signal of the country’s rapidly expanding role in global robotics innovation.

From Dynamic Combat to Long-Hour Autonomy: Robots in Action

Several demonstrations stood out as crowd magnets:

• AgiBot made its first full-scale appearance in the U.S., showcasing its complete humanoid lineup, including X2 Series, A2 Series, and G2 Series. A2 series demonstrated autonomous guidance capabilities, while X2 surprised audiences with highly dynamic dance performances.

• Unitree once again captured attention with its humanoid robot G1, delivering live boxing demonstrations that highlighted balance, coordination, and real-time motion control.

• Engine AI presented its full-size humanoid robot T800 in static display, while its flagship PM01 performed a series of high-difficulty movements on-site.

• Tien Kung Ultra, the world’s first humanoid robot half-marathon champion, demonstrated long-duration running, while Tien Kung 2.0, powered by the HuiSi KaiWu platform, autonomously completed end-to-end tasks such as component picking, classification, and stacking.

• LG unveiled its first humanoid robot CLOiD, designed for home environments, capable of collaborating with smart home devices to complete daily tasks.

• Boston Dynamics publicly demonstrated its next-generation electric Atlas, featuring 56 degrees of freedom, 360-degree rotation of the head and torso, a four-hour battery life, and autonomous battery swapping within three minutes.

• Agility Robotics showcased multiple Digit robots working collaboratively in warehouse environments, while DYNA Robotics demonstrated garment-folding robots in real time.

To address these diverse needs, KingSpec provides a complete and scalable range of storage solutions for AI robotics, covering multiple interfaces, capacities, and form factors. By balancing performance, power consumption, and environmental adaptability, KingSpec helps customers deploy AI robots in complex and dynamic real-world environments.

CES 2026 was not only the stage for robotics and edge AI innovation — it also highlighted a new wave of AI-ready personal computing platforms, with major manufacturers showcasing next-generation AI PCs designed to bring powerful on-device intelligence to both productivity and creative workflows.

• ASUS expanded its AI PC lineup with a broad portfolio that spans sleek laptops, all-in-one desktops, and compact PCs, the ASUS ExpertBook Ultra, a lightweight Copilot+ professional laptop enhanced with on-device AI capabilities; the Zenbook DUO, a dual-screen AI multitasking laptop; and the Zenbook A16 and A14, which blend premium hardware with built-in AI workflows.

• Acer also took the opportunity to showcase a range of AI PC devices under its Aspire, Swift, Nitro, and Predator families. These models emphasize on-device AI acceleration and are optimized for both everyday productivity and performance-intensive tasks.

• Lenovo brought forward innovative AI PC concepts and gaming hardware, including the Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition and Yoga Slim series, all infused with AI acceleration and enhanced productivity features. Lenovo’s exploration of AI across both mainstream and creative segments reflects the broader industry trend toward integrating ambient and on-device AI experiences.

As AI workloads increasingly shift toward local processing, storage performance has a direct impact on real-world user experience. Among them, storage is no longer a passive component. It has become a critical factor that directly impacts:

• AI model loading and inference speed

• System responsiveness and multitasking performance

• Power efficiency and thermal management

• Long-term stability and reliability

At CES 2026, KingSpec showcased a comprehensive portfolio of AI-ready storage solutions, covering consumer, industrial, and enterprise-grade applications.

Our goal is clear:
to deliver reliable, high-performance, and scalable storage that enables AI-driven computing platforms to perform at their best.

In addition to enterprise and industrial AI applications, CES 2026 also demonstrated the continued growth of consumer AI and gaming hardware in the North American market.

DIY PC builders, custom system integrators, and boutique PC brands place clear demands on storage products: stable supply, consistent performance, and strong brand recognition.

For North American system integrators, OEMs, and PC builders, KingSpec emphasizes long-term supply stability and product consistency:

• Stable and sustainable product lifecycles

• Consistent performance across production batches

• Strong compatibility with mainstream platforms

This allows partners to focus on system differentiation and design without concerns about underlying storage supply risks.

OneBoom, KingSpec’s gaming-focused sub-brand, was one of the highlights at the CES 2026 booth. With a bold design language and performance-driven positioning, OneBoom is highly favored by North American gamers, DIY enthusiasts, and esports-oriented system builders.

At CES 2026, OneBoom officially introduced several new products designed to help gamers build highly personalized gaming systems:

• OneBoom X500 PCIe 5.0 SSD Series
  Built for next-generation gaming and ultra-fast load times, delivering lower latency and enhanced performance for AI-enhanced gaming experiences.

• DDR5 RGB Memory Modules
  Combining high-frequency performance, stability, and customizable RGB lighting, allowing gamers to balance performance with visual identity.

Together, these products empower gamers to build systems that are not only powerful, but truly unique.
