30 T3 MAY 2020Best tech for everything
(^1) MAC PRO
Okay, it’s prohibitively priced (and looks like
a cheese grater), but that’s not the point: if
you want a creative workstation with the
muscle to do anything and everything without
missing a beat, Apple’s exquisitely designed
and supremely capable powerhouse is it. It’s
upgradeable, too, which is a big bonus.
From £5,499, apple.com/uk
(^2) CANON EOS 90D
Making a highly compelling argument for the
continued existence of DSLRs in an increasingly
mirrorless world, this is a weighty and highly
capable camera with a whole lot of exciting
IXQFWLRQDOLW\LQVLGHåbQRWOHDVWRIZKLFKLVLWV
full-frame 4K shooting, which helps make the
most of your lenses.
£1,149, canon.co.uk
(^3) GOPRO MAX
Taking compactness to the extreme, the Max
is GoPro without the compromise. While the
Hero 8 Black is a marginally better choice if
you’re looking for resolution, this does 360
shooting, has a rear screen, stabilises incredibly,
ingeniously levels horizons, and doesn’t skimp
on the shooting modes.
£480, gopro.com
(^4) KORG WAVESTATE
Resurrecting the classic Wavestation synth
of old with a fresh 21st-century twist, this
compact 37-key keyboard, which runs four
sequenced sound layers at once along with a

up new options for sound exploration.
£699, korg.com
(^5) NETGEAR MEURAL CANVAS II
Though Netgear very much pushes the Meural
Canvas II’s ability to pull from a 30,000 strong
collection of artworks (with a subscription),
we’d say the gorgeous digital frame is the
perfect showcase for your own creations,
whether they be family photographs or
personal masterpieces.

(^6) ORBA
What is a musical instrument? Artiphon’s Orba,

rules. Tap it, tilt it, move it around, and your
hand motions are translated into sound through
its integrated synth. It’s just as capable as a
MIDI controller, too.
