1 DJI MINI 3 From £519, dji.com Every few months a fresh DJI drone crosses the Horizon desk, and every few months we feel compelled to tell you about it because, frankly, nobody does drones like DJI. So here we have the DJI Mini 3, the bafflingly late-arriving sibling of the existing Mini 3 Pro, and it might just be the most exciting consumer drone ever. That’s not because of its features, as such; this drops the intelligent proximity sensors of the Pro spin, for example, and others work out far smarter on paper even considering the arm-long list of fancy flight features here. It’s also nothing particularly new – more an iterative upgrade of the Mini 2 than a revolutionary bit of new drone tech. But it’s a winner…

What better way to kick off the new year than with a visit to sun-soaked Marrakech? The January opening of Morocco’s Nobu Hotel Marrakech (Africa’s first Nobu hotel) should be on the radar of any self-respecting foodie, although other highlights of this all-suite property include the stunning rooftop pool and a 2,000 square metre spa. Across the pond, we’re particularly excited about Ambiente, which opens this February in Sedona, Arizona. Forty cube-shaped rooms made from glass and steel will provide fantastic views of the surrounding desert, along with Coconino National Forest and Sedona’s famous red rocks. Since late 2022, visitors heading to India have once again been applying for e-visas rather than having to apply in-person for paper visas. And the slick new Westin Rishikesh, due to open in early…

MARIO CAMEROTO, LONDON Q Can I turn my regular trainers into smart trainers? A Well, it’s probably easier to add smarts to your shoes than it is to find a pair of kicks with brains built in. The plug-in sneaker market basically consists of party-only AliExpress light-up stompers and the Nike Adapt and Puma Fi, two sets of self-lacing shoes that don’t seem to have lasted long past a brief 2019 Back to the Future revival fad. Okay, that’s not entirely true. Under Armor has made the actually-smart HOVR Phantom shoes and apparently named them after a specific kind of ghost, and smaller companies are trying every ounce of their luck in the market. But they shouldn’t. You know why? Shoes don’t actually need to be smart. For all intents and…

Exciting earbuds 1 CAMBRIDGE AUDIO MELOMANIA 1+ Cambridge Audio are famed for their high-end hi-fi equipment, and these earbuds deliver 45-hour battery life plus sound quality that you just wouldn’t expect at this price tag. They’re crisp, clear and deliver excellent bass without overpowering the rest of the audio, and while they’re a little medical-looking you won’t care when you hear how they sound. £39.99, cambridgeaudio.com 2 REALME BUDS AIR 3 If you’re looking for an AirPods rival without the Apple price tag, RealMe’s noise cancelling earbuds offer a lot of features for the price including active noise cancellation, 30-hour playback (22 with noise cancelling switched on), IPX5 water resistance, customisable EQ, transparency mode and fast charging. They look and sound much more expensive than they are. £59.99, realme.com 3 EARFUN AIR S…

SPECIFICATIONS Display 16-inch 60Hz 3840 x 2400 OLED CPU AMD Ryzen 7 6800U GPU AMD Radeon Graphics RAM 16GB Storage 1TB Operating system Windows 11 Home Battery life up to 10.5 hours Connectivity USB-C x2, USB 3.2 x2, HDMI, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 Dimensions 13.9x356.7x242.3mm Weight 1.17kg With so many laptops on the market, it’s important to mark out a point of difference. And Acer has certainly found one with the Swift Edge, trumpeting it as “the world’s lightest 16-inch OLED laptop” and, as far as we can tell, this claim stacks up. The Acer Swift Edge’s weight – or rather lack thereof – is its main selling point. And let us be clear: in practice, it does feel incredibly light for a large, premium laptop. With a 16-inch display,…

SPECIFICATION Drivers 9.1.5 Audio formats Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Connectivity HDMI x2 (eARC x1), optical, USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5 Microphones 3 per bud Dimensions 1200x63x135mm (bar), 202x407x403mm (sub), 159x223x142mm (rear) Weight 25.3kg combined Sitting at the top of LG’s soundbar range, the S95QR offers a stellar set of features and a highly immersive 9.1.5-channel speaker layout with a centre height channel. But will the extra centre height channel make a difference? And does this flagship model justify its price tag? The LG S95QR is an immersive audio system composed of a soundbar, a pair of wireless rear speakers, and a wireless subwoofer. The big new feature this year is the addition of a centre height channel – which is a world first. The speaker layout uses front, rear and…

BECKHAM SUNGLASSES If you’re going to go baggy this season then finish off the look with some oversized shades. These bins from Beckham feature a Havana brown frame in tortoiseshell effect with grey-tinted lenses. £206, farfetch.com MANAAKI PAPI FLARED JEANS Bursting with 1970s retro charm, these relaxed style jeans are cut from pure cotton-denim and are loose at the hip and flared at the feet with a low crotch style to keep your look stress-free. £145, mrporter.com CAMOUFLAGE PRINT JEANS Loose and large with stitched panels along the side, these wide-leg pants in tonal-blue camouflage will ring some reminiscent bells if you were a Stone Roses fan in the ’90s. Just don’t forget the swagger. £965, mrporter.com COMMES DES GARCONS GRAPHIC SHIRT The loose tailoring trend doesn’t just apply to…

As sure as eggs are eggs rationed, every year without fail sees a new Best Ever Robot Vacuum Cleaner Ever. That’s because Roborock, makers of the S7 MaxV Ultra and its predecessor the S7, tends to announce its new models at the big Vegas tech fest that is CES. So this year we are rubbing our hands in anticipation of the Roborock S8 series, including the very serious-sounding S8 Pro Ultra pictured here (price tbc, roborock.com). With this name/numeral upgrade, the new range will naturally be one better than what came before – and what came before was bloody awesome, so let’s get ready to Roborock once again. The killer feature here is the dock, which comprises clean and dirty water tanks plus a rubbish bin. So when the S8…

What sets House of Marley apart from other audio brands is that all of their speakers, headphones and turntables are made from more sustainable materials than elsewhere, like bamboo, upcycled plastic and reclaimed hemp to name a few. If you want a powerful, stylish portable speaker then the Get Together 2 XL is a good place to start. The House of Marley Get Together 2 XL might be a portable speaker but it’s so big, we can’t see anyone taking it much further than the garden. It’s 44.9 x 17.9 x 18cm, which makes it a lot bigger than a lot of home or multiroom speakers even. The fact that it is environmentally friendly is in itself likely to be quite a substantial draw to this speaker. It also looks…

SPECIFICATION Display 10.2-inch, 300ppi e-ink Storage 16GB/32GB/64GB Battery life 12 weeks reading (30min per day); 3 weeks writing (30min per day) Connectivity USB-C, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Dimensions 196x229x5.8mm Weight 433g Amazon’s Kindle portfolio is quickly growing with different sizes and features in each of the devices. Some are waterproof, some have auto-adjusting light sensors and some, like the Kindle Scribe, can be used for drawing and writing as well as reading. The biggest of the bunch, the Kindle Scribe has a large 10.2-inch screen that has a paper-like look to it. The matte texture is easy on the eyes and crystal clear to read on. The front of the slate is completely flat and the grey rear casing makes it both look and feel like a premium piece of kit. You…

DOOR BLIMEY TUT-AL BODY FITNESS ‘Micro gym’ TUT Trainer 2.0 boasts patented resistance band tech Multi-gyms have one fatal flaw from a home gym perspective: they take up a lot of space. So much so that only a few people can justify getting one, even though they provide an excellent way to train all your muscles at home. The TUT Trainer 2.0 ‘micro gym’ ($999.99, tuttrainer.com) – endorsed by Canadian Olympic champion sprinter Andre De Grasse – might be the best option for those who seek total body gains without sacrificing all the floor space at home. Taking up less than 2 square feet of space and weighing only 11.6lb, the TUT Trainer 2.0 is said to deliver an all-in-one functional strength solution, prehab/rehab and cardio training with more than…

1 TOM TABLE LAMP While teak and oak feature heavily in this look, the mid-century modernists weren’t averse to a splash of glam and would pepper the look with a touch of colour or metal. The black and antique bronze finish in this elegant, mushroom shaped lamp would provide a cosy corner to an MCM-styled living room. £165, atkinandthyme.co.uk 2 FARNHAM SIDEBOARD Possibly the most iconic MCM brand is Eames and we see a nod in its direction with this sustainably sourced mango-wood sideboard. Mid-century styled designs were bold in size and this piece measures in at H76 x W160 x D45cm so it carries some appropriate heft. A more delicate touch is the brass hexagonal inlays and slim brass legs giving it a touch of chic elegance. £985, modishliving.co.uk…

The OLED+907 range is a perfect example: it’s a mighty fine approach that delivers with aplomb. We may as well get right to it here. The Philips OLED+907 is an impressive and capable television, in every respect and in every circumstance. No matter if you…

Don’t get us wrong: the Apex 2 Pro holds its own against the Garmin Fenix 7X. But its real arch-rival is the Enduro 2, as both are aimed at endurance trail runners. So how does it stack up? The Coros Apex 2 Pro is a sturdy smartwatch. It has a Grade 5 titanium bezel, which is said to be resistant to salt water, marine atmosphere and a variety of corrosive media at temperatures below 300°C. The back cover is also titanium, while at the front, you’ll find a sapphire glass lens protecting the display. But it doesn’t feel as premium as the Garmin Enduro 2, which is a real shame, although not surprising, considering the Apex 2 Pro is half the price of the Enduro 2. Its 1.3-inch Memory LCD…
