As Quartz's time at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas comes to a close, we have rounded up CES's best phones, TVs, concept cars, and miscellany. Rather than being focused on breakout gadgets, this year was especially homogenous, dominated by similar products competing in a few categories: We saw droves of autonomous, electric concept cars, variations on the smart speaker, and half-baked home robots. The best gadgets, listed below, were chosen because they actually managed to differentiate themselves from the herd, or seemed like real, viable products amidst a field of prototypes. Find out what you can do. Even though Amazon wasn't showing off Alexa at its own booth, the digital personal assistant stole the show as the most widely integrated technology: It was hooked up with smart speakers, refrigerators, lamps, robots, cars, and the list goes on.

OZY and Giant Spoon are excited to partner on special live coverage from CES 2017-- where the most forward-looking technology and media come together. Rather than cover just the latest gadgets, though, we're taking you deeper with key takeaways, little-known rising stars, unconventional trends and, yes, the coolest sh*t from the convention. Erin Hauswirth and Nathalie Con are associate directors at Giant Spoon, an innovation-driven marketing agency. Our obsession with robots hasn't faltered since the first Consumer Electronics Show opened its doors half a century ago. But we dreamed that the future of robots would look more like Rosie Jetson or C-3PO -- humanoid bots that roamed and lived among us.

Razer's three-screen laptop behemoth wasn't the only ridiculous concept device the gaming company unveiled at CES 2017. Project Ariana, the projector that extends games off your main computer monitor or TV and onto your friggin' walls is just as awesome. Seriously, projectors have never been this cool before. In a private room, Razer let me check out Ariana. To recap, the projector has two depth cameras that can scan a room and detect where the main display is.

CES is, to a degree, all about appearances. As the first major tech event of the year, it's an opportunity for companies to show off their latest and greatest -- so looks matter. SEE ALSO: How to keep up with CES if you're stuck at home On day one of CES 2017, the fixation on looks took on an even greater focus. From gorgeous displays to gadgets that were literally dedicated to vision and sight, seeing and being seen were the dominant themes to kick off the conference. Samsung's new QLED TVs are a beautiful sight to behold.

At this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Lenovo came out with their guns blazing by stepping up their product announcements more than I have ever seen them do in the past five years. Lenovo is entering new markets, adding new brands and further improving current offerings. When Lenovo came out with the Yoga they showed that they were innovators and willing to take a risk, and I see their CES 2017 offerings build on that. Lenovo is really pushing their technology portfolio and their engineers to deliver the latest and most cutting edge technologies inside their products and it's nice to see. The first of these new products is the Smart Home which is an area Lenovo hasn't really played in a big way before.
