This week's picks
The Aqara Hub M3 was our headliner: a Matter-over-Thread bridge that quietly does the job every other hub keeps promising. Pair it with the Withings Body Scan (yes, a scale with a six-lead ECG — we're still not over it) and your house starts feeling less like a gadget pile and more like a system. On the go, the Anker Solix C1000 hit under-an-hour recharge times in our testing, and the Anker Prime 27,650mAh is genuinely the last power bank we want to talk about for a while. The Yubikey 5C NFC remains the cheapest peace of mind in tech. And two heavy hitters: the M5 refresh of the Apple Vision Pro is finally light enough that we'd wear it past a demo, and the Bambu Lab P1S Combo continues its streak of just… working. First print, every print.
What's coming up
Next week gets fun. We're reviewing the Garmin Fenix 8 (the screen upgrade alone is worth the headline) and the Framework Laptop 16, which we've been waiting on since the GPU module was a rumor. On the smaller-but-mightier side: the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 packs a one-inch sensor into something pocket-sized, the Ember Travel Mug 2+ makes a case for itself on any drive over 90 minutes, and the Eufy Security E340 Doorbell keeps footage on your own network — a rarer feature than it should be. We'll also test the Goal Zero Yeti Tank expansion against the Solix to see which off-grid setup actually earns the trunk space.
On sale right now
The Goal Zero Yeti Tank Expansion Battery leads the pack at 399 USD (down from 499) — 20% off a product we haven't even reviewed yet is unusual, and worth a look if you already own a Yeti. The Aqara Hub M3 is 129 USD (13% off), which is the price we'd have expected at launch. The Anker Solix C1000 drops to 799 USD, the Anker Prime 27,650mAh to 179, and the Apple Vision Pro (M5) sees its first real cut at 2999 USD. Wildcard: the LG OLED M5 wireless OLED is 4499 USD, down 500. Still not cheap. Still the only TV with no cables running to it.
