BRAWNY vs BRAINY BLUETOOTH SPEAKERS

NEXT GEN LAPTOPS
Need an AI wingman? CoPilot Plus laptops have hardware and software made to make your life a bit easier, with artificial intelligence
GET ACTIVE
Fitbit's premium tracker has Google Maps, Google Wallet and controls for YouTube Music, but it's the fitness features that are the big draw here.
JLAB HEAR OTC
The democratisation of hearing aid tech is no bad thing. It's a trend we're seeing more and more in the market as highly affordable ANC chipsets are being put to work supercharging their transparency modes and offering help to those with hearing loss.
EVERCADE ALPHA
What might be most impressive about Evercade's offerings thus far is not the emulated games - we're pretty sure a washing machine could have a stab at running classic NES titles these days - but the effort the company has put in to replicate the tactile sensations of retro gaming with cartridges and controllers that really meet the brief.
COROS DURA
Coros, by day, makes very good fitness watches. By night, and we say this because the company is being very coy about the actual looks and specs of the Dura, it apparently makes cycling computers.
DAYLIGHT DC-1
Another e-paper computer/tablet hybrid, something which is not entirely remarkable (wordplay intended) in 2024.
ACER SPATIALLABS EYES
The logical next step of Acer's hugely interesting Spatial Labs series of glasses-free 3D devices is here in the form of a camera which, like the screens and laptops already in the line, gives us slight Nintendo 3DS vibes.
MCLAREN EXTREME 600
Naturally, the announcement that McLaren would be launching a range of battery-assisted mountain bikes led us to assume that they'd actually be coming from Lavoie, the scooter making subsidiary of McLaren's Applied division.
LEICA D-LUX 8
It's a Leica camera. We don't really need to say much more. But if we didn't mention that this is possibly the best compact camera that 2024 is going to see, you'd rightly accuse us of dereliction of duty.
PORSCHE 911 CARRERA GTS
Porsche's battery-only Cayman, Taycan and Maycan have each knocked it out of the park, but VW's most accessible sporty marque hasn't abandoned the internal combustion engine just yet.
ASUS TUF GAMING A14
Oh, that's just fine, Asus. No problem. You go ahead and drop a new entry in the affordable TUF range, and make it about as close to a Macbook killer as Windows machines get. Slap a 'Gaming' badge on it, why not?
TRACK STAR Sennheiser Momentum Sport
