Microsoft has teamed up with creature specialists John Nolan Studio to create one of its wildest custom consoles yet. The Xbox Series X-BITE takes the form of a five-foot alligator, complete with glowing green eyes, a console inside its body, and a bitten controller. Only one exists, and it’s being given away.
BYD is taking aim at Rolls-Royce and Maybach with the Yangwang ALTIOR, an extravagant electric flagship inspired by ancient Chinese ceremonial vessels. Beyond its 24K gold emblem and gemstone-inspired grille, the four-seat sedan boasts 39 speakers, rear-hinged coach doors, four independent motors, and an electric range exceeding 1,000 km under CLTC testing.
NEC hasn’t abandoned consumer tablets. Its late-2026 LAVIE Tab T12N arrives with a 12.1-inch 2.5K display, Android 16, 256 GB of storage, and something particularly useful: a keyboard cover and digital pen included in the package. It’s a productivity-ready alternative to the company’s earlier T12, without additional accessory shopping.
Acer has entered the compact gaming tablet race with the Nitro G710, an 8.8-inch device reportedly featuring a Dimensity 8300 chip, a display supporting up to 165 Hz, and 5G voice calling. Dual USB-C ports add flexibility, although the specifications, prices, and availability remain unconfirmed.
Tired of portable Bluetooth speakers that all look alike? Barebones Living has something rather different.

Singapore’s LUMOS is expanding beyond projectors and digital cameras with four Android tablets designed for different needs and budgets.

Optional keyboard accessories also bring basic laptop-like productivity to the range.
Camera-equipped headphones aren’t new, but Rollme’s AuraCam takes a different approach by putting an 8 MP stabilized camera on actual over-ear audio cans. Alongside 40 mm drivers, it offers AI visual recognition, real-time translation, meeting recording, and wireless media transfers. It’s a rather unusual combination of listening and looking.
Razer has given wired gaming earbuds the full RGB treatment with the Hammerhead V3 Chroma.

No Bluetooth pairing or battery charging required.
Razer has turned its Raiju V3 Pro into a PlayStation 5 controller with an exposed magnesium alloy exoskeleton, a glass touchpad, and contactless TMR thumbsticks.

Takara Tomy’s Adamas Machina lineup welcomes Star Saber, and this premium Transformers collectible has more going on than its striking die-cast armor. The 241 mm-tall Autobot transforms into a V-Star jet, combines with the smaller Saber robot, and includes a clever dummy core that lets you display both characters separately.
Controlling the solar system is now as easy as turning a crank.
