Wireless OLEDs, 8K pockets, and a mouse encore

Seven picks, one theme: gear that quietly deletes the cables, dongles, and compromises we've all learned to tolerate. Here's what mattered, what's next, and what's worth spending on.

This week's picks

The headliner was LG's OLED M5 — a 4K OLED that runs on a single power cord and beams everything else wirelessly. It's absurd. It works. Nearby on the desk: the Keychron Q1 Pro (custom-tier build, finally cable-free) and the Logitech MX Master 4, which somehow found things to improve about the mouse that already won. On the wrist and in the pocket, the Garmin Fenix 8 got the screen it's always deserved, and the Insta360 X4 crammed 8K 360 video into something smaller than a card deck. The iPad Pro (M5) rounded out the screen story with a panel that finally matches the chip inside. Our outdoor pick, the Goal Zero Yeti Tank expansion battery, turned solar weekends into solar weeks — and, conveniently, it's on sale (see below).

What's coming up

Wearables kick off the week with the Oura Ring 4, whose sleep data we actually trust enough to change behavior around. Then the Razer Blade 16 (2025) makes the case that a gaming laptop can live a double life in meetings. Creators, watch for the Lume Cube Studio Panel — cinema-grade output that still fits in a camera bag. On the desk, Samsung's Odyssey OLED G9 finally nails ultrawide brightness, and the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra graduates to a vacuum that empties and washes itself. We'll close the week with the Nothing Phone (3), the rare Android flagship that looks like nothing else on the shelf.

On sale right now

The Goal Zero Yeti Tank expansion is $399 (down from $499) — the best 20% off we've seen on solar storage this quarter. The LG OLED M5 is also $500 off at $4,499, which softens the sticker shock on that wireless magic. Smaller wins: the Aqara Hub M3 at $129, Anker's Solix C1000 at $799, and the Anker Prime 27,650mAh at $179. If you've been circling it, the Apple Vision Pro (M5) is $300 off at $2,999 — modest, but the first real move on the M5 refresh.
