This week's picks
Our headliner was the iPad Pro (M5) — a screen Apple should have given us years ago, finally paired with silicon that can push it. Right behind it: the Framework Laptop 16, which answered the modular-GPU question most people assumed was unanswerable, and the Garmin Fenix 8, now with a display you'll actually want to glance at. On the quieter side, the Keychron Q1 Pro proved custom-grade mechanical keyboards can go fully wireless without compromise, and the Eufy Security E340 keeps your doorbell footage off someone else's server. The Insta360 X4 crammed 8K 360 video into a pocket, and the Goal Zero Yeti Tank Expansion Battery turned weekend solar setups into week-long ones. A strong seven. Not a dud in the batch.
What's coming up
Next week leans into the desk setup. The Logitech MX Master 4 gets another look — yes, the productivity-mouse crown is still Logitech's to lose — alongside the Loupedeck Live S for streamers and editors who've outgrown keyboard shortcuts. We'll also cover the Oura Ring 4 (sleep data you can actually act on), the Razer Blade 16 (2025) that doesn't scream gamer in a meeting, the Lume Cube Studio Panel for creators tired of lugging softboxes, and the Nothing Phone (3) — still the only Android flagship with a design opinion.
On sale right now
Our pick: the Goal Zero Yeti Tank Expansion Battery at 399 USD, down from 499. We just featured it — 20% off a week later is suspiciously good timing. Also worth a look: the LG OLED M5 wireless OLED drops 500 USD to 4499, the Anker Solix C1000 hits 799, and the Apple Vision Pro (M5) sees its first real cut to 2999. Smaller but tidy: Aqara Hub M3 at 129 and the Anker Prime 27,650mAh power bank at 179.
