This week's picks
We opened the week with the Loupedeck Live S — still the most honest answer to "is a Stream Deck enough?" — and closed it with the Nothing Phone (3), which continues to be the only Android flagship we can pick out of a lineup. In between: the Oura Ring 4, whose sleep data we actually acted on, and the Razer Blade 16 (2025), a gaming laptop that doesn't embarrass you in a meeting. On the creator side, the Lume Cube Studio Panel earned its spot in the bag, and the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 finally cracked the brightness problem that's haunted ultrawide OLEDs since day one. And yes, the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra empties itself, mops itself, and washes its own mop. We're running out of chores to give it.
What's coming up
Next week leans into security, health, and things you carry. We're starting with the Yubikey 5C NFC (buy two, thank us later) and the Withings Body Scan, a bathroom scale that runs a six-lead ECG — which is a sentence we didn't expect to type in 2026. Then it's the Steam Deck OLED, still the handheld everyone else is chasing, followed by the Whoop 5.0 and the Sony WH-1000XM6. We're closing the week with the Anker Prime 27,650mAh, which — spoiler — is also on sale right now.
On sale right now
Our pick of the week: the Anker Prime 27,650mAh at 179 USD (down from 199). If you were waiting for a nudge before next week's full review, this is it. For the off-grid crowd, the Goal Zero Yeti Tank Expansion Battery is 100 USD off at 399, and the Anker Solix C1000 drops to 799. Smart-home tinkerers: the Aqara Hub M3 is 129 USD, a fair price for a Matter controller that actually behaves. Big spenders, two options — the LG OLED M5 wireless set at 4499, or the M5 Apple Vision Pro at 2999. Neither is cheap. Both are 300-500 USD less cheap than yesterday.
