Vuzix Ultralite AR glasses last up to two days on a single charge

Vuzix Ultralite AR glasses weigh about the same as a normal pair of sunglasses, but are actually smart lenses that have a remarkably long battery life. While Vuzix is best known for augmented reality solutions for enterprise and military use, the Ultralite is designed for consumers.

Weighing just 38 grams, Vuzix Ultralight promises to solve the problem of fatigue that has plagued early AR glasses. It also solves battery life issues with a reported two-day battery life. Unlike some solutions that are bulky or feature camera humps, the Vuzix Ultralight is slim and stylish with only a tiny hint of technology hidden behind the right lens.

The monocular display is based on advanced waveguide and micro-LED technology, which has previously only been available in the most expensive TVs, so it should be quite bright and crisp. The full details are not yet available, but it will be compatible with both iPhones and Android phones to display notifications, directions, translations, workout status, and more.

It’s unclear what processor will be used in the Vuzix Ultralite, but we’ll get all of the details at CES and hope to share a review of this exciting technology in the near future.

Today you can save $100 on the Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus — the pre-assembled Surface Pro alternative
A Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus with keyboard and pen.

Let's face it, the line between tablet and laptop is getting blurred right and left these days. In our list of the best tablets, updated just today, you'll see the Apple iPad Air (2025) along with a list of 'Pros' and 'Cons'. The fourth pro is none other than "More affordable new Magic Keyboard," which really does seem to show that people want their tablets to be laptops. There's a whole genre of 2-in-1 laptops that can be bulkier but convert to a tablet mode easily.

But perhaps the most egregious offender of this trend is the (absolutely wonderful) Microsoft Surface Pro line, which has a bought-separately keyboard. We love it, however there is room to admit that it'd be nice to have everything in one package, at one price. And that's where we get the Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus, which even has a $100 discount today, dropping it from $770 to $670. Tap the button below to see it yourself, or keep reading to see how it works.
