01 A Love Letter To iPadOS 26 • The latest iPadOS has changed the way I use the iPad.

02 INTEL CORE ULTRA SERIES 3 UNPACKED: CAN PANTHER LAKE ON INTEL 18A SECURE INTEL’S FUTURE? • This is what you need to know about Intel’s next-gen processors that will compete with the best client computing CPUs from the edge to high-performance AI systems in 2026.

03 THE PC HANDHELD YOU DESERVE • ASUS and Microsoft’s ROG Xbox Ally X finally makes Windows feel built for handhelds, combining Xbox-first software, refined design and all-day battery life for a truly portable PC gaming experience.

04 FINALLY FEELS COMPLETE • After years of incremental updates, Apple’s iPhone 17 finally gives the standard model its moment in the spotlight. With a silky-smooth ProMotion display, smarter cameras, more storage, and class-leading performance, this is the first time the regular iPhone feels like the one to get — not the compromise.

05 TITAN KILLER? • The DXRacer Martian Pro isn’t just a gaming chair – it’s a gadget in disguise. With motorised recline, adjustable lumbar support, built-in massage and cooling, it promises cockpit-level comfort at a luxury price. But when the battery dies, so does the magic – raising the question: has gaming furniture finally gone too far?

06 A SMARTER COMPACT POWERHOUSE • Razer’s 2025 Blade 14 packs serious power into a slimmer, lighter frame. With AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 365, NVIDIA’s RTX 5070, and a stunning 3K OLED display, it’s a premium gaming laptop that looks just as good in the boardroom as it performs in-game.

07 MORE POWER, BETTER VALUE • The Xiaomi 15T Pro continues the brand’s streak of delivering flagship performance without the flagship price. With the Dimensity 9400+ chip, Leica-tuned cameras, a refined flat design, and a lower $899 starting price, it’s a polished, powerful phone that proves true value still exists.

08 REPLACEABLE BATTERIES, BUT… • Google’s Pixel Buds 2a bring big upgrades to the A-series, adding active noise cancellation, multipoint connectivity, and improved sound for just $199. With a refined design, strong battery life, and even a replaceable case battery, they deliver premium features at a midrange price.
