This week's picks
Smart home did the heavy lifting. The Aqara Hub M3 is the first Matter-over-Thread bridge we'd actually call infrastructure, and the Eufy Security E340 keeps your doorbell footage where it belongs — on your network, not someone's cloud. On the productivity side, the Framework Laptop 16 finally answered the modular-GPU question, and the Bambu Lab P1S Combo kept its streak of just working on the first try. For the road: Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 for disappearing at 35,000 feet, the Ember Travel Mug 2+ for keeping coffee civilized, and the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 — a one-inch sensor on a gimbal, smaller than a hot dog. We measured. Sort of.
What's coming up
Big week. The LG OLED M5 arrives with its wireless 4K party trick — no HDMI, no power-brick-across-the-room compromises. The iPad Pro (M5) gets the panel it's been quietly asking for, and the Insta360 X4 crams 8K 360-degree capture into something that fits in a jacket pocket. On desk duty: the Keychron Q1 Pro brings custom-grade mechanical to fully wireless, and the Logitech MX Master 4 refines the mouse that already won. Heading outside? The Goal Zero Yeti Tank expansion turns a weekend of solar into a week of it.
On sale right now
The Goal Zero Yeti Tank leads the board at 399 USD (down from 499) — worth grabbing before we even write it up. The Aqara Hub M3 is 129 USD, a rare discount on something this new. If you're going big: the LG OLED M5 is 500 USD off at 4499, and the Apple Vision Pro (M5) drops to 2999. Rounding it out, the Anker Solix C1000 is 799 USD and the Anker Prime 27,650mAh power bank is 179 — both solid floors we haven't seen beaten this quarter.
