SONY DUALSENSE
£TBC, playstation.comSony’s PS5 reveal is running at a trickle. We’ve
seen specs, we’ve seen a (likely bogus) render
of the main console, and now we’re seeing the
DualSense, the most radical controller change
Sony has made, well, ever. Borrowing from the
design language of the PSVR headset and
dialling up the sci-fi, it subtly tweaks just about
every long-established aspect of DualShocks of
old. There are new curves, designed to make
the controller feel smaller than it looks, and
that two-tone design begs for future
customisation options. There are re-angled
adaptive triggers, which can ramp up in tension
as games require, a built-in microphone array
and speaker, and haptic feedback to pipe game
actions directly to your fingers and thumbs.
There’s even a mysterious ‘Create’ button
where the Share button used to be.
T3 SAYS: We can’t wait to get our hands on it.
RAZER BLADE 15
From £1,599, razer.comRazer’s unibody laptops have long been little
gems – and with a new generation of mobile
graphics comes a highly desirable upgrade to
the jewel in its crown. The newest Blade 15
comes in Base and Advanced varieties; each
carries a tenth-gen Intel Core chip within its
aluminium unibody shell. You can, depending
on your spend, dial in anything from a GTX
1660 Ti to a RTX 2080 SUPER which is, let’s be
frank, a rather ridiculous spec for a laptop this
size; good job the Advanced model has vapor
chamber cooling to keep everything in check.
And we’ve not even mentioned the screen, a
15.6” OLED that runs at 144Hz in the base
model and a stupendous 300Hz if you go
advanced. The ultimate in laptop luxury – but
you can more than double that base price for
the fully specced-up version.T3 SAYS: Razer is just spoiling us now.IMAGE^SOURCE:^ SONYIMAGE^SOURCE:^ RAZER
