Stuff UK的September 2022目录

Hello and welcome to this productivity-themed issue of Stuff. We’ve put together a themed lead feature of wonderful gear to get things done, whether you’re a home worker, on-the-road roamer or student about to embark on a new course or school year. As part of it, we’ve also reviewed three bleeding-edge new laptops: Apple’s M2-powered MacBook Air, Microsoft’s latest Surface Laptop and the 2022 version of the super-light LG Gram 16. Elsewhere we’ve tested two of the year’s most anticipated new phones – the Google Pixel 6a and light-up Nothing Phone 1 – both hoping to dominate the mid-range as we move into the time of the year when a new iPhone and a next-gen Pixel are imminent. We’ve also compared six fine cordless vacs, including new launches from Dyson…

£N/A / ford.co.uk Fast Fords are back, then? They never went away. In the case of the SuperVan, it’s been around in one form or another for the last 50 years or so. The latest version is fully electric and, as you’d expect, very fast indeed. It’s based on that iconic workhorse, the Transit… but it’s hard to spot much connection with the conventional ‘white van man’ edition. What’s the performance like? It’s nothing short of astonishing for a van. There are quad motors, which means all four wheels get their chance to grip the tarmac. This is necessary as the Ford Pro Electric SuperVan packs around 1973bhp, which can propel it from 0 to 62 in under 2secs according to unofficial estimates. Wow! The range must be dismal. Probably.…

Samsung Galaxy A53 from £379 / stuff.tv/A53 What’s the story? The Galaxy A53 is what happens when you take most of what we love about the Galaxy S22 (bold design, killer screen, capable cameras) but slash the price. From a distance, you wouldn’t know it wasn’t a full-on flagship… and Samsung’s new entry-level phone hasn’t had to compromise much either: you’re still getting a beefy battery, a 120Hz AMOLED display and four rear snappers. Is it any good? Look past the pointless macro and depth sensors and there’s still lots to like on the photography front. Image processing does a lot with the 64MP main sensor, putting it up there with Google and Apple in the cut-price camera stakes. It’s a shame the home-grown Exynos CPU is so underwhelming, though,…

GOOGLE PIXEL 6 PRO £649 / store.google.com We’re sure it’s possible to thrive at college without a really good phone, but for most students a smartphone is the most important gadget of all. If you’re already all-in on Apple then an iPhone is the obvious choice, but if you aren’t then Androids are usually much better value. Google’s Pixel 6 Pro was already an ace Android, but its summertime price cut took it from £849 to a much more affordable £649. And that makes it the one to buy: a premium phone that no longer demands a premium payout. Cam-brain supernova The biggest selling point here is the camera. If you’re looking for something to document your student days or to create content – whether that’s TikToks for fun or…

NOW APP THESE THINGS We have tried very many productivity apps over the years, but Things remains our favourite for freelancing and solo home working. It makes it easy to track projects, personal stuff and calendar events, and perhaps most importantly of all it’s really fast. £8.99 / (iOS) MICROSOFT TO DO Microsoft’s free app is a wonderful task and time manager, and because it’s cross-platform you can use it across all kinds of devices including PCs and Android phones, as well as on anything with a browser. It’s fast, simple and useful. £free / Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, web • NOW ADD THESE LUMIE HALO As the days get shorter again, many home workers may find their work area a little too dark – and over time that can…

TESTED LG GRAM 16 (2022) from £1349 / stuff.tv/Gram16 Alaptop with a 16in screen should be something of a beast but LG’s Gram range has always focused on weight… or the lack of it. While LG hasn’t quite managed to get it down to the single gram that the name suggests, it still weighs in at a full kilo less than the 2021 version of Apple’s 16in MacBook Pro with M1 Max, which tips the scales to a fiendish 2.2kg. That’s quite incredible when you consider the power on offer here. It’s made from the same magnesium alloy that’s used to build planes so it’s tough too, and may even take off if you throw it hard enough – although that will almost certainly void your warranty. Like a square…

£810 / stuff.tv/360Edition No time to sigh The camera looks like a serious piece of gear, with an all-black finish and faux-carbon-fibre accents. It’s large for a 360° camera, but still just about pocket-sized and light enough to carry around all day. Appier than ever We edited all of our clips and photos using Insta360’s PC desktop software (you can also do it with the mobile app). It was a joy to use, fairly simple to grasp and just all-round better than the Insta360 app of old. The One RS 1-Inch 360 Edition is Insta360’s first all-round camera to come equipped with 1in image sensors – physically much larger than the ones used in previous models. Co-engineered with Leica, it aims to bring premium image quality to the small 360°…

£170 / stuff.tv/FreeBudsPro2 Educating tweeters In-ear detection works well, pausing tracks quickly when you pull out one bud but not when you’re just jiggling them a bit. The eartip fit test, which is supposed to check if the buds have a good seal, is more hit-and-miss. Surely balance time The AI Life app lets you tweak the ANC, apply EQ presets, customise the controls and enable LDAC for hi-res playback on supported devices. It’s also good for swapping devices – the buds can connect to two at once. This is the latest collab between Huawei and French sonic nerds Devialet. Dual drivers, hi-res audio support and adaptive EQ promise audiophile appeal, while adaptive noise-cancellation and dual-device connectivity make them a cheaper rival to the Apple AirPods Pro. These buds’ stems…

from £399 / stuff.tv/Nothing1 DAY 01 Meet the smartphone equivalent of a freshly-launched pair of Yeezys. Excitement for Nothing’s Phone 1 was so frenzied that the first 100 handsets changed hands for almost ten times their retail value – and that was before the final hardware had even been revealed. Talk about hype… On taking it out of the box for the first time, the flat glass and recycled aluminium frame gives off serious iPhone 13 vibes. It costs a third of Apple’s most expensive handsets, but does a good impression of them from the front and sides – just with a punch-hole selfie camera instead of a notch. It feels pretty premium too, and while its IP53 rating means it’s not as hardy as some pricier flagships, an IP…

1 Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra from £1149 / stuff.tv/S22Ultra If you’re a tech-loving Android fan and can justify the outlay, this is the most fully-featured phone of the 2022 crop. The first ‘S’ model to have a built-in S Pen, it also offers a wonderfully sharp 6.8in QHD+ screen with super-smooth 120Hz scrolling and a stellar zoom camera, aided by a new neural processing unit that creates Samsung’s best pictures yet. Stuff says This is the most capable smartphone you can currently buy TIPS & TRICKS Swipe up from the bottom of the screen for the app tray, so you can browse all of your apps. Press volume and standby together to take a screenshot, or just swipe your hand across the screen. Go to Settings > Battery to finely…

1 Apple Watch Series 7 from £369 / stuff.tv/WatchS7 If you’ve got an Apple Watch Series 3 or even earlier, upgrading to this one will be like walking into a lighting shop from a dark and foggy winter evening: the display is bigger and clearer, and there are new input options too. As a wearable it can’t be beaten simply because it does so much, especially if you’re into fitness; just bear in mind that it’s probably not worth upgrading from a Series 5 or 6 – and of course, its usefulness remains totally dependent on you having an iPhone. Stuff says The mighty Apple Watch cements its place at the top of the wearable tree 2 Garmin Fenix 7 from £600 / stuff.tv/Fenix7 If your budget stretches, the impressive…

1 Amazon Echo (4th Gen) £90 / stuff.tv/Echo Having morphed from a cylinder to a sphere, the latest Echo is an excellent newsreader, weather forecaster, personal assistant and intercom straight out of the box; but it’s now also a capable speaker and a very accessible smart home hub. It doesn’t sound as good as the Sonos One for listening to music, but it’s significantly smarter and considerably cheaper too. Stuff says An all-round upgrade that makes the Echo a smarter speaker than ever TIPS & TRICKS The Echo’s built-in Zigbee hub can hook up hundreds of smart home devices without a bridge. Pair a compatible thermostat and the Echo’s temperature sensor can activate the heating. Alexa Flash Briefings deliver bursts of news or trivia; choose from 5000 sources in the…

1 Fujifilm X-T4 £1549 / stuff.tv/XT4 The Fuji X-T4 might be the high-end mirrorless camera of your dreams. Relatively affordable for a flagship, it excels at stills and video thanks to in-body image stabilisation, high-speed shooting and 4K recording at up to 60fps. Rapid shooting is backed up by fancy AF tricks that feel equally fast and reliable, and even the battery life goes above and beyond the usual standards. There’s no doubting this is a worthy successor to the already fabulous X-T3. Stuff says A superbly capable mirrorless camera for shooting pretty much anything in style TIPS & TRICKS It’s easy to set up the X-T4’s customisable Q button: just hold it down for a couple of seconds for options. Avoid those wonky horizons by turning on the built-in…

Open up most phones and you’ll see nothing but a load of boring old silicon, sensors and storage, but the chassis of Nokia’s 5710 XpressAudio hides something much more interesting. Slide down a panel on the back of this old-school candybar and you’ll find a pair of wireless earphones that last 4hrs before they need to be popped back inside to recharge from the phone’s removable 1450mAh battery. That might sound paltry but the 5710 is running S30+ with a 2.4in QVGA screen, so battery life is measured in weeks rather than hours: it’ll do up to 31 days on standby if you don’t use 4G. While there’s only 128MB of built-in storage, you can fill a 32GB microSD card with MP3s and control your tunes using the dedicated music…

IT HAS ACTIVE STABILISATION TO SMOOTH OUT BUMPS AND POTHOLES Now that looks like the kind of BO you’d actually want. The designers certainly haven’t had a stinker here, have they? While most electric scooters look like they’d be at home dodging the feral Gen-Zers on your local high street, the Bo M’s aluminium ‘monocurve’ chassis and 360º Light Halo give it a more futuristic vibe – like it should be gliding effortlessly down some spotless space-age boulevard, elegantly weaving between self-driving cars and robot dogs. That means it doesn’t fold up, but it does have a range of up to 31 miles. What kind of speed are we talking? It can do 24mph but that will be limited depending on where you are, although it’s more of a luxury…

SONY PICKS WESTERN DIGITAL FOR ITS PS5 DRIVES Got a PS5 that’s running short of space? Sony and Western Digital have teamed up for an officially approved SN850 NVMe SSD, which is guaranteed to fit, guaranteed to work out of the box, and should deliver rapid file transfers too. Prices will start at £180 for the 1TB model, with the 2TB version at £290. PICO PI FLIES HIGH WITH SPRY WI-FI Raspberry Pi has updated its barebones Pico computer with the one thing it was missing. The Pi W (£5.90, thepihut.com) still has a dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ CPU clocked at 133MHz, but now also comes with an Infineon CYW43439 Wi-Fi chip, so bedroom coders can indulge in some cable-free IoT tinkering.

The AI adviser Oral-B iO Series 10 Automation will one day do away with dentists, leaving robots to wash and floss our fangs. Until then, this clever cleaner’s the next best thing. Putting AI in your mouth, it tracks your brushing action across six zones, using lights atop the magnetic charging dock to show where to focus those micro-vibrations. When you’re not wielding the wand, an integrated clock indicates the best time to brush, while an app points out where you can improve your technique. £tba / oralb.co.uk BUDGET BRUSHES The value vibrator Ordo Sonic+ Skimping on oral hygiene is a fast track to fillings, but healthy teeth needn’t cost hundreds.

AMAZON ECHO AUTO £50 / amazon.co.uk The main goal here is simple: get Alexa into the car so you can use it to summon music and weather, set reminders or get train times. It’s also ideal for capturing those thoughts you have while you’re driving along and adding them to your to-do list. You can even switch on your living-room lights or heating as you arrive home. This slim device can plug into nearly any car – it’s powered via USB – and it runs through your ride’s own speakers. It’s the closest thing we’ve yet had to Knight Rider’s KITT, so lap it up even if it means that Amazon dominates yet another of your spaces. Gimme some ’tooth Echo Auto took a while to get in gear (sorry),…

OXO GOOD GRIPS SWEEP & SWIPE There are all sorts of nooks and crannies on a laptop that love to gather dust and grime.

Fingerprints, be gone! £10 / amazon.co.uk LOGITECH ZONE TRUE WIRELESS The Gram’s speakers are OK for video calls but lack punch for listening to music for long periods. If you still spend a lot of time talking to your webcam, Logitech’s noise-cancelling Zone True Wireless have a dedicated USB receiver and three mics in each bud. £299 / logitech.com LG GRAM +VIEW If 16 inches still isn’t enough for you (stop sniggering at the back) you…

£999 / stuff.tv/InZoneM9 Mister space-span Sony has been sure to style the M9 so it matches the PS5. The tripod-style stand looks neat and largely keeps away from where your keyboard and mouse are likely to be, but it needs a lot of desk space for a 27in monitor. Chestnut pair Connectivity includes DisplayPort 1.4, USB-C (with DP Alt mode) and two HDMI 2.1 ports. Both of these can only do 4K at 120Hz; DisplayPort is good for 144Hz. Inputs change automatically when a signal is detected. The M9’s 4K IPS panel offers very good viewing angles and overly saturated out-of-the-box colours. This gives games plenty of punch, with vibrant hues to go with ample brightness, but it’s a pain if you’re also going to use it for work and…

Asics Gel-Cumulus 24 What’s the story? Designed for versatility, the Gel-Cumulus 24 isn’t a lightweight speed machine: it’s all about comfort and softness, with extra FF Blast (no, we’ve no idea either) cushioning. Unlike some shoes designed for pure speed, these make your feet feel enveloped in foam. At 286g, they’re available in black and grey colours, but our review sample came in a great-looking orange and blue colourway. Are they any good? Designed for neutral runners, these Asics are excellent all-rounders – although if you need extra support you’ll want to look elsewhere. Certainly after testing numerous lightweight shoes, we found them a welcome return to something a bit more comfortable. They’re ideal if you want to run somewhere but also need to be able to walk around afterwards.…

£114 / stuff.tv/MiniLink2 Steady or not Photos eject from the top and you load film packs at the back, behind a door held in place by a latch that’s just a bit too easy to knock accidentally in a bag. A nice lock would have been a handy addition. Go more The Mini Link 2 is just about small enough to slip in a pocket, but not the same one you keep your phone in. The Instax logo on the front doubles as a power button, with a long press also activating Bluetooth pairing. Fuji’s credit-card-sized Instax Mini prints are proper instant film, not the heat-reactive paper you’ll find on rivals like the Kodak Step. They use chemicals to react to light, which means colours have Fuji’s signature blend of…

1 Hammerhead Karoo 2 £359 / stuff.tv/Karoo2 For ages cycling computers have been held back by outdated tech… but Hammerhead’s sharp screen really is a gamechanger, and effectively running a tiny Android phone inside a custom case feels like a no-brainer. The 3.2in display is a delight, helping you spot new trails branching off from routes, all with the nostalgic feel of an early smartphone. Navigating with swipes and taps is intuitive (and works with gloves), and the software is constantly updated with helpful nips and tucks.

1 Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar £1999 / stuff.tv/AmbeoSoundbar Utterly convincing Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D sound, ample power and lots of inputs mean no other soundbar currently available can perform feats with the solidity and confidence of this Sennheiser. The sheer room-filling scale of this device’s sound is remarkable, and it’s hard to think of any content that wouldn’t benefit from being Ambeo’d. That’s why, as well as being the biggest and the most expensive, it’s the best you can buy. Stuff says The Ambeo Soundbar is a big unit but the sound it makes is bigger still 2 Sonos Arc £899 / stuff.tv/SonosArc Don’t expect this soundbar to do everything a multi-speaker Dolby Atmos setup can do, but its up-firing and side-firing drivers give a real sense of cinematic scale.…

1 Amazon Echo Dot (4th Gen) from £50 / stuff.tv/Dot This fabric-covered take on Marvin the paranoid android in disguise as a Magic 8-Ball feels playful yet classical. It can’t match a full-size smart speaker for audio, but as a little radio and an Alexa assistant for the bedside table or kitchen worktop, this cutey gets the job done. It’s worth paying £10 more for the ‘with Clock’ version, which adds extra functionality beyond telling the time. Stuff says With the optional clock, this is our favourite bedside wondergadget TIPS & TRICKS Fed up of yelling? Alexa’s voice can work like an intercom with connected Echo devices.

It’s 10 years since we started Nanoleaf. We were a group of students in Toronto who built a solar-powered car… and it finished races, which means it was a good car. You learn a lot of concepts in school but you never really get the chance to apply it; so after we graduated, we got back together thinking, ‘Hey, we built this amazing solar car but now we’re doing jobs that have nothing to do with sustainability or solar technology or even building products.’ We were bored. Our first product was solar, but we didn’t know how to ship lithium-ion for batteries. So we decided to make a really efficient lightbulb, and we soon realised we’d developed the most energy-efficient lightbulb in the world. Let’s put it on Kickstarter and…

• TESTED APPLE MACBOOK AIR M2 from £1249 / stuff.tv/AirM2 The wedge is history. Two years after Apple shoved its own-brand M1 chip inside an existing MacBook Air frame, the skinniest laptop in its range has had a complete overhaul both inside and out. The 2022 edition is perfectly flat – and thin at 11.3mm. That’s way less than its predecessor’s 16.1mm maximum and almost half a centimetre thinner than any MacBook Pro. We thought we’d miss the wedge design; we don’t. The keyboard and ginormous trackpad are great for extended word-smashing sessions. Shiny happy peephole The reduced and refined screen bezels look smart. Yes, there’s a notch, but it’s less of an issue here than on a phone, and Apple has wisely moved the menu bar up into it.…

• TESTED MICROSOFT SURFACE LAPTOP GO 2 from £529 / stuff.tv/Go2 Microsoft’s Go series is all about bringing bits of its most expensive laptops to those who haven’t got a grand to spend; and the Laptop Go 2 is good-looking, extremely portable and admirably powerful… as long as you pick the £729 top-spec model. At 15.7mm thick and weighing just 1.13kg, portability is excellent. It’s made of aluminium and plastic, as opposed to the magnesium alloys of other Surface models, but the feel and finish don’t fall far below the high standards of the range. The slightly cut-down QWERTY lacks a backlight, but for most people that’s only likely to be an issue in a power cut. Killer screen Microsoft loves its tall displays, and this 12.4in 3:2 touchscreen is…

Halide II This high-end snapper is equally at home on iPhone and iPad, and even brings macro photography to blowers that lack lenses designed for that. Elsewhere, you get first-rate manual controls, focus aids and an excellent ‘instant RAW’ process that lets you quickly develop RAW files with a single tap. You can even sign up for lessons in-app to learn how to become a better photographer. £2.49/m / iOS ProShot Android camera apps tend to be rickety compared to iPhone snappers; this is an exception. Its sleek layout puts controls within easy reach, and programmable modes enable you to customise and save two setups. Timelapse and light-painting options give you creative outlets when you’re bored of standard snaps, but you’ll stick with this one because it’s so solid when…

THE BASICS Stop faffing Don’t waste time styling text when you’ve barely written anything. To get good, you must prioritise thinking and… well, writing. Use a plain text editor and learn Markdown (see markdownguide.org) for basic formatting. Only edit once you’ve at least a completed a rough draft. Set targets Novels aren’t written in a day. And if you’re just starting out, even a few paragraphs might be a challenge. So set aside a minimum daily target (ideally in terms of time rather than words) to build a routine. Unsure what to write? Pick a random subject and just write as fast as you can. Think of this as exercising your writing muscles. Get physical People genuinely tap out entire novels on a phone with their thumbs. But unless you’re…

The war at the centre of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is fought entirely by artificially engineered soldiers designed to live for only 10 years (unless they kick the bucket on the battlefield first). They spend that entire time fighting, since killing is necessary so their enemies’ life force can be absorbed. This theme weighs heavily on some characters, conscious that they have just months left of their existence. If the last game was guilty of succumbing to anime tropes such as its wildly under-dressed and over-proportioned female characters, this one pivots to the other extreme of giving us a serious case of the sads. But beneath this dystopian cross between The Matrix and The Hunger Games there’s also hope, as our heroes are made up of soldiers from both nations, brought…

1 Sony WH-1000XM5 £361 / stuff.tv/WHXM5 Nobody was able to displace Sony’s WH-1000XM4 headphones from the top of this list for two years… yet the 2022 model manages to be even better. Key to the XM5s’ overall quality is the new carbon-fibre composite 30mm drivers: they bring even greater clarity than the previous generation, and the sound reproduction is beautifully precise.

1 GoPro Hero10 Black £330 / stuff.tv/H10B At a glance it’s almost impossible to tell the Hero10 Black apart from its predecessor. Each is a little box with screens front and rear, and a lens housing that juts out. Under the hood, however, GoPro has truly levelled up its latest action camera – and much of that is down to the new GP2 processor. It’s more responsive and captures better images in all lighting conditions, while ‘nice to have’ features (better livestreaming and webcam support, faster wireless and wired transfer of video) iron out some old issues. Stuff says Beefed-up internals make the Hero10 Black a nippy, powerful, polished action cam 2 DJI Air 2S £851 / stuff.tv/Air2S DJI’s laurels remain assuredly un-rested-upon, and this may be its best drone…
