Wahoo cycle computers have long been a safe bet among the pedal-proficient. Why? The laser focus on performance, instead of a bunch of frills and features that might not see any use while out on the road. The Elemnt Ace takes that one step further, being the first of its kind with an integrated wind sensor. Calculating air resistance in real time lets it show how much extra work you’re putting in on blustery days, and how drafting impacts your ride.

That should grab the attention of anyone that spends their weekend decked in Lycra somewhere in the middle of a peloton, but there’s plenty here for the more casual cyclist. Wahoo has taken inspiration from the smartphone world, with a larger, clearer screen that gets touch controls for the first time, and a redesigned UI that’s suited to swiping. Impressive battery life and Wahoo’s reliable tracking complete the package.

It lands for less than a Garmin Edge 1050 at $600/£550/€600. Does that make it an affordable flagship as well as a fully-featured one?

Custom keyboards used to be a hobbyist heaven, but now mainstream makers of gaming-grade PC hardware are getting in on the action. Razer's first foray into hot-swappable switches and gasket mounting was the Blackwidow V4, and now there's a Pro version that goes even further upmarket. As well as adding wireless connectivity into the mix, it also finds room for an OLED control screen to make on-the-fly adjustments.

Add in some extensive RGB backlighting and an extensive software suite for fine-grain customisation, and this is about as top-tier as it gets in Razer land - at least, without straying into magnetic switch territory. Those extras have pushed it into the same price bracket as the Hall Effect competition, though, as well as that of boutique board-makers willing to tweak every virtually every aspect of your typing experience. Can an off-the-shelf model with mechanical keys still compete?

As some of the first mirrorless cameras to properly get 4K video recording, the Panasonic Lumix GH series has been a regular go-to for amateur movie makers. The firm’s most recent effort had a Hollywood backlot’s worth of recording formats, along with outstanding image stabilisation in a (relatively) compact body. The GH6 relied on an ageing autofocus system, though.

The Lumix GH7 addresses that pain point, while also improving its smart subject recognition and audio recording abilities. Micro Four Thirds converts will be happy to see Panasonic continuing to fly the flag for the format, too.

Can a new generation of the little sensor that could challenge full-frame filmmakers from the likes of Sony, Canon and the rest?

LG has been an OLED panel pioneer for well over a decade now. There was a point where pretty much all of the best 4K TVs with OLED tech used LG panels, whether they wore an LG badge or not. There's a lot more competition in 2024, but the firm can still be relied on to produce stunning sets. The LG C4 sits smack bang in the middle of the line-up, below the top-tier G4 and above the value-minded B4.

It brings a brighter panel and new generation image processor to better compete with QLED and mini-LED rivals, while the familiar WebOS smart TV system has been given a fresh lick of paint. Pricing was a little more competitive at launch, possibly in light of more competition - and retailer discounts were quick off the mark, too. As ever, there's a generous range of screen sizes to choose from.

I've been testing the 42in version; is there enough here to make it the de facto small OLED choice?

Home cinema projectors are rarely the most graceful of gadgets, so usually get stashed out of sight once the credits have rolled on your latest movie night. The Leica Camera Cine Play 1, on the other hand, deserves permanent exhibition. This 4K shiner stands out with an all-metal chassis, compact footprint and an industrial design worthy of wearing the famous Red Dot logo.

Like the ultra-short throw Leica Cine-1, the Cine Play 1 shares much of its inner workings with a model from Hisense – in this case the C2 Ultra. Except the German lens specialist has supplied its own aspheric glass here, and with some home-grown image processing and focus adjustment tech that promises to deliver a superbly sharp image. A bright triple laser lamp should deliver impactful HDR content, too.

It commands quite the premium over short-throw 4K DLP rivals that are similarly coffee table-friendly. Can a focus on picture quality justify the extra cash?

Bowers & Wilkins set a very high bar for wireless earbuds in 2024. I was so impressed by the Pi8 that I named them best in-ears of the year in the Stuff Awards. Now it’s the turn of the Pi6, a baby brother that loses a few features – but tries to stay close to the Pi8’s sublime sound.

🔊 12mm dynamic driver
📶 Bluetooth 5.4 w/ aptX Adaptive
☔ IP54
🔋 8hrs (ANC on, buds) 16hrs (case)

They’re a big design departure from the outgoing Pi5 S2, having taken the same approach to fit and comfort as the Pi8 to sit securely in more ear shapes and sizes. Different driver material, a stripped-back charging case and simpler streaming codecs mark it out as the more mainstream offering – but it’s also more affordable.

Competition is fierce at that price point, though. Will sound quality alone be enough for the Pi6 to compete with ANC all-rounders from the likes of Sony, Bose, Sennheiser and the rest?

I was a Commodore 64 kid. Yes, I know: boo, hiss, etc. But I did have friends who adored Sir Clive’s rubber-keyed wonder. And I’ve since come to appreciate the ZX Spectrum more fully and how it was a hotbed of creativity during gaming’s formative years. I like it so much that I have a framed one on my office wall. And now, courtesy of Retro Games Ltd, I have a second Spectrum: The Spectrum.

If you’re wondering where the ‘ZX’ has gone in the new machine’s name, presumably licensing. That aside, this newcomer looks the spit of the original. But does it play like one? And should the Spectrum (and The Spectrum) have stayed back in 1982? Let’s dig in, as I don dayglo socks, leaf through a dog-eared copy of Crash magazine, and have the original Mad World blast out of the stereo. Because, let’s face it, you’d have to be a bit mad to play games using rubber keys in 2024.

There’s nothing like switching from a desktop PC to a gaming laptop to remind you just how many peripherals and accessories need plugging in. Solving a cable crisis isn’t as easy as it would be with a work laptop, either. Office-friendly docking stations rarely play nicely with high refresh rate gaming monitors or low-latency mice and keyboards. The Razer USB4 Dock is the exception, and has (almost) simplified my setup down to a single cable.

The deceptively small dock has 14 different connections, including both HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 inputs. That means it’ll spit out a 4K resolution, 120Hz display signal – and still have enough bandwidth for a second screen running at 60Hz. On top of whatever other gadgets and gear you have hooked up to the rest of its ports. Here's how it transformed my gaming setup:

Stepping up production values to give your content a more professional feel usually means investing in ever-pricier kit. Even if you’re shooting on a smartphone, lighting rigs, gimbal stabilisers and microphones should all be on your shopping list. Until now, DJI wireless mics have focused on pro-grade features – with prices to match – but the new Mic Mini is all about the entry-level.

Lighter, smaller, and much more discreet than the DJI Mic 2, this idiot-proof audio upgrade has something for every step of the content creator journey. The microphone can be had by itself for Bluetooth pairing to a smartphone. Adding a receiver brings direct USB-C and 3.5mm connections for devices that can’t record wirelessly on their lonesome. A charging case then adds a second microphone into the mix, along with a bunch of useful accessories.

It takes on the Rode Wireless Micro, which impressed me very recently with its compact dimensions and plug-and-play smartphone recording. Did the DJI’s more flexible approach replace it in my camera bag?

We’ve had handheld Evercades, plug-into-your-telly Evercades, and not-called-Evercades-but-actually-tiny-Game-Boy-like Evercades. Do we need another? Blaze Entertainment thinks so. Which is why we now have Evercade Alpha, the bartop arcade cabinet Evercade.

I was sceptical of this one. Despite being a fan of the Evercade ecosystem, a bartop felt like a step too far. So (spoiler alert) I was surprised to find it was way more compelling than I expected – even if it’s more limited than other Evercade hardware in certain ways. Let’s dig into whether the Alpha can top the high-score table...

26/11/2024

Cambridge Audio knows plenty about hi-fi separates, but it’s a relative newcomer to all in one wireless speaker streamers. The Evo One is a heck of a first attempt, though. This minimal monolith squeezes 14 speakers inside its real walnut-topped chassis, and has all the hi-res streaming support you’d expect from a brand as laser-focused on sound quality as this one.

🔊 14 (4x 1in tweeters, 4x 2.25in mid-range drivers, 6x 2.75in woofers)
⚡ 700W (Class D)
🔌 HDMI eARC, Digital Optical, Phono, USB, Wi-Fi, Ethernet
📶 Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay, Google Chromecast, Internet radio, Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect, Cambridge StreamMagic (Gen 4)

If $1499/£1299 sounds like a lot for a single box streaming system, keep in mind this actually undercuts the firm’s own EVO 75 – which, don’t forget, asked you to supply your own speakers. It’s seemingly priced to take on the wooden wonder that is the Ruark R410, as well as long-running premium wireless speakers from the likes of Naim. Can it possibly shunt them to second place at the first time of asking?
