Apple MacBook Air M5
Released in March, the latest version of Apple’s thinnest laptop gets an updated M5 chip that brings faster, AI-ready performance in the same portable package beloved by fans. An aluminum case offers great durability, while a Liquid Retina display makes for stunning picture quality. MacBook Air now ships with 512GB of internal storage as standard, with up to 4TB available, and battery life sits at an impressive 18 hours on a single charge. From $1,099.

Nomad Tracking Card Pro 
Tracking technology became hugely popular among regular travelers in recent years, with devices such as Apple AirTag now commonly used. However, these tags are too bulky to fit in a wallet, which is where the Nomad Tracking Card Pro comes in. The same height and width as a standard credit card, it can slip into your card holder with ease. It’s also disguised as a normal card, with a fake magnetic strip and chip intended to stop thieves from immediately discarding it. The only downside: It measures 2.5mm thick, three times a standard card, but that means the rechargeable battery can last as long as 16 months. $39.

XREAL 1S Smart Glasses
Augmented reality technology hasn’t broken into the mainstream to the extent many boosters predicted, but the latest iteration of XREAL’s smart glasses may change that. Simply plug them into your phone, laptop or gaming device using a USB-C port, and you will be presented with a huge virtual screen on which to game or watch your favorite content. At a glance they look like normal glasses, and they weigh only slightly more than standard frames, so you can wear them out and about for extended periods if you so desire. $449.

DJI Osmo Action 6
Chinese firm DJI may be one of the biggest names in consumer drone technology, but it also makes a mean action camera, and the updated Osmo Action 6 garners rave reviews. It’s the first action camera ever made with adjustable aperture and swappable lenses, adding functionality compared to rivals such as the GoPro range, and it still boasts amazing battery life and low-light
performance. $369.
