EVIATION ALICE
Fuel-guzzling planes are
opening the jet set up to a
whole lot of criticism these
days, so a fully electric
plane was an inevitability.
Eviation’s Alice might not
be able to make a quick
turnaround, but the nine-
passenger three-prop plane

this year, and its batteries
give it a 600-mile range.

MAC PRO
There are many ludicrous things about the
Mac Pro. Its design, for instance. Its price. Its
power. But this is not a machine for us mere
mortals. It’s a top-end marvel meant for those
who really need – and can afford – to have that

Climate 360 Smart Bed
is a “revolution in health,”
designed to help you fall
asleep faster and for longer
by “actively cooling your

TWINKLY SMART
CHRISTMAS LIGHTS
This year’s festive season
will be smart. LEDworks’
Twinkly RGB lights can,
in conjunction with your
phone’s camera, work out
exactly where they are on
the tree or wall, allowing
you to map funky (and
previously impossible)
positional effects.

EXOSKELETONS
Whether it’s helping the
disabled or giving manual
workers superhuman
powers, the new crop of
AI-assisted exoskeletons
looks set to make a real
impact. Finally we can shed

Guardian XO is a full-body,
battery-powered super suit;
others will surely follow in
its robot footsteps.

HYDRALOOP
It’s the little things that
count, and most households
waste the majority of water
that comes in. With the
Hydraloop home installed,
you’ll be able to recycle
85% of that water, helping
reduce your impact on the
