NXT - June 2025

In this issue

Welcome to the June 2025 edition of NXT. This month, we cut through the hype to reveal how AI PCs bring on-device smarts to everyday computing—from specialised NPUs and Copilot+ frameworks to instant photo edits and real-time transcripts—while weighing the power, thermal, and price trade-offs. This feature unpacks today’s capabilities, real-world use cases, and the road ahead for truly intelligent PCs.

In Test, we put three of this season’s standout devices through their paces: the gaming powerhouse Acer Predator Helios 16 AI, the versatile Canon EOS R50 V mirrorless camera, and the audiophile-grade Sennheiser HD550 headphones. Whether you’re dominating in ray-traced battles, capturing crisp travel portraits, or losing yourself in crystal-clear soundscapes, these picks prove that cutting-edge performance, portability, and immersive experiences can coexist seamlessly.

Lastly, in NXT Big Thing, we spotlight how AI is transforming productivity and creativity, making every laptop a truly responsive, creative partner.
