PRODRIVE RACING SIMULATOR There are racing simulation setups, and then there’s the Prodrive Racing Simulator. It’s a complete immersive experience for driving enthusiasts, with a strong emphasis on statement styling: the housing resembles a work of art more than a gaming system. Each Prodrive Racing Simulator is taken on commission and built to order, with custom touches such as personalised stitching and family crests available on request. Conceived by automotive designer Ian Callum, Prodrive’s product comprises a swooping housing for the racing seat, encapsulated in 16 layers of steam-formed beech. The result is evocative of aerodynamic cars and other craft, and gives the appearance of an enclosure floating gently above the ground. On the inside is a padded seat, a multifunction steering wheel, the computer that powers the experience, and…

1 LEGO NINTENDO GAME BOY • £60, lego.com Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be, as they say, but Lego is determined to offer grown-ups a full hit of the stuff with its latest classic console build ’em up. And why not? The company’s embrace of its adult fans has been careering at full speed for the past decade or so, and if there’s a single adult builder who hasn’t held Nintendo’s monochrome handheld icon in their hands at some point since 1990 we’d be flabbergasted. And what a perfect celebration of the Game Boy’s 35th anniversary; a ‘near’ 1:1 recreation of the hardware, as close size-wise as Lego’s scale will allow, in the right pre-yellowing grey, at an entirely affordable price – unlike, say, the somewhat over-complex Nintendo Entertainment…

Like everything else, domestic vacuuming has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past century. Having endured decades of wrestling with a slew of cumbersome ‘Hoovers’ that required loads of physical effort to operate, James Dyson finally came to the rescue in the 1990s with the world’s first cordless stick vac – and that was the beginning of the end of trailing cables. Things got even better in 2002, when the first iRobot Roomba robot vacuum cleaner scuttled across living room floors, turning autonomous cleaning into a reality. Fast forward to today, and we now have a wide range of hybrid robot cleaners that don’t just vacuum your floors but mop them, too. Typically, today’s innovative bots feature self-emptying dustbins, water tanks for mopping, smart mapping to navigate your home efficiently,…

T3 loves testing luxe, high-end products. That’s our forte. It’s also precisely where the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 fits into the, erm, fold. The latest in a long series is a considerable shift for the book-like foldable, bringing a slimmer, better-proportioned and altogether more rounded proposition. You might be wondering what’s new. Well, what isn’t new? Put it next to the Z Fold6 and you’ll see a similarity is there, but also a night-and-day set of differences. The Z Fold7 has a wider main (or ‘cover’) display, with a 21:9 aspect ratio. The eight-inch internal panel is larger, in part owed to the reproportioning of the overall design. It’s approximately a 5:6 aspect ratio, akin to that of Google’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold, but with an all-new hinge mechanism –…

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip7 is no cursory upgrade. It brings with it a huge change for the series thanks to a full-screen cover display called the ‘Flex Window’ design. How about that for flipping off its biggest competition? In its folded form, with the display off, the Z Flip 7 doesn’t necessarily look immediately different to its predecessor. Activate that exterior ‘Flex Window’ through touch or button-pressing, however, and the change is immediately obvious. Bezels are smaller, the screens are brighter and have a faster refresh rate, and there’s the latest edition of Samsung’s Exynos processor inside instead of the Snapragon 8 Elite that was widely expected. It’s not hugely different from a Galaxy S25 Ultra in terms of physical thickness, even if its 21:9 aspect ratio when unfolded gives…

SONY MAVICA MVC-CD1000 AUGUST 2000 In the days before tiny memory cards took off, camera makers were always looking for new ways to store photos on your device. The first attempt was Sony’s original Mavica, but its curious floppy disk storage couldn’t keep up by the year 2000. But then Sony had a brainwave: the Mavica MVC-CD1000, which swapped out the floppy for a three-inch CD disc, and let the camera truly soar. While the floppy Mavica could only hold about four images at a 1600×1200 resolution, the CD edition’s 160-shot capacity was 40 times greater. The problem was that Sony used CD-R discs rather than CD-RWs, which meant you couldn’t erase images once they were burned. Much like the film cameras the Mavica aimed to replace, once you’d taken…

Let’s face it: GaGu is nothing if not a rollercoaster of mood and fancy. To the first of these, it should be explained that he currently sits at the base of the first rise, the chain lift clattering around rather noisily but not quite catching on his car. In turn, the Great Laird of Gadgetton (not sure if that one’s going to stick) has turned to reckless spending as a way to do away with the dour. Will it work? No! Of course it won’t. But one cannot argue with a serotonin imbalance. Credit card mania or not, there are some things even a violently depressed Guru will not buy. You won’t catch him with smart specs, for example, because despite last issue’s desperate attempt to justify them Guru still…

#ESCAPE THE CITY #1 OAKLEY META SUNGLASSES We already know how the Meta collab with Ray-Ban has changed the smart glasses game, but there’s a new player in town. Oakley’s classic sunnies get the Meta treatment, with a built-in camera, discreet open-ear speakers, and your voice to control it all.

Loop Quiet 2 Plus earplugs block out snoring tentmates, rowdy neighbours, and birdsong without compromising comfort. Made from soft-touch silicone with a handy app for personalisation and noise tracking, they’re brilliant for camping trips, travel, and any time you need a proper night’s sleep. £19.95,…

You wake up to an eerily silent city. The hum of traffic has ceased and the only sound is the flutter of trash and detritus that is strewn along the streets. Abandoned cars weakly flash hazard lights as the last of their batteries die out and a thin, grey veil of smoke hangs in the air. You reach for the bedroom lamp but the power is out, there’s no running water for the morning shower and your smartphone is useless – SOS mode isn’t even functional. Survival instincts kick in and it’s now a race to find something clean to drink, provide heat and make fire to eat whatever rations and tinned goods you can find. It’s a rather bleak – and massively hypothetical – doomsday scenario, but there are…

DREAME X50 ULTRA COMPLETE £899, dreamstore.co.uk WE’RE IMPRESSED Dreame’s pulled off a doozy with this exceptionally well-designed autonomous floor-care package. With top-notch cleaning performance, expert navigation, superior obstacle avoidance and multi-faceted docking station, the flaw-free X50 Ultra is a cracking contender for hybrid robot of the year.
