AppleApple 14-Inch MacBook Pro (M5)
The 14-inch MacBook Pro with Apple’s M5 chip is exactly the same as the M4-equipped model that was released in the fall of 2024. However, according to Apple, the M5 chip makes the new model “get even faster, more capable, and delivers a huge leap in AI performance.” It’s available for preorder now, with shipping starting on October 22. It starts at $1,599, just like its predecessor.
AppleApple iPad Pro (M5)
Apple has refreshed its iPad Pro lineup with its new M5 chip. The upgraded silicon promises key performance and efficiency gains, as well as up to 3.5x the AI performance compared to the iPad Pro with M4 and up to 5.6x faster than the iPad Pro with M1. They also feature the Apple N1 chip, which should make Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Thread connections more reliable. And for cellular models, they’ve been updated with Apple’s C1X modem (replacing the Qualcomm modem in the M4 models), which should increase the iPad Pro’s speed when using cellular. Available for pre-order now, the M5 models start shipping on October 22.
AppleApple Vision Pro (2nd-Generation)
Apple just upgraded its Vision Pro mixed-reality headset. The key feature of this second-generation model is its inclusion of Apple’s new M5 processor, which promises to deliver significant improvements in performance, graphics, and battery life compared to the first-generation model (which utilized Apple’s M4 chip). Additionally, it now comes with a new Dual Knit Band, which should make the headset more comfortable to wear. Other than that, the M5 Vision Pro looks, works and costs the same as the M4 Vision Pro, which was released in 2024. It goes on sale on October 22.
MaseratiMaserati Grecale Tributo Il Bruciato
Maserati just unveiled a very special version of its flagship SUV, the Grecale, compliments of its Fuoriserie individualization program. It’s called the Tributo Il Bruciato and is designed specifically to pay tribute to living the easy Italian life in one of Italy’s most iconic regions: Bolgheri. As such, it receives a one-off Alchima Scarlatta exterior color, themed to echo the region’s reputation for exquisite wines, with the choice of two 21-inch wheel designs, and a host of other bespoke appointments otherwise not available with the standard Grecale. Although Maserati didn’t say how many they’re making, they did note that production is extremely limited.
WedgewoodWedgwood x JW Anderson Mugs
A collaboration between Wedgewood and JW Anderson, these mugs (sold in pairs) take after a set in the acclaimed designer’s personal collection that dates back to the 5th century. Made in England, they’re crafted with Wedgewood’s iconic Jasper stone clay.
FlowfoldFlowfold Recycled Sailcloth Porter Tote – 16L
These days, it takes a lot for a tote to stand out from the crowd. Flowfold’s new Recycled Sailcloth Porter Tote does just that, thanks to its innovative materials and construction methods; the same that catapulted its first and best-selling wallet into popularity. The 16 liter tote featuring 10-inch handles is made from reclaimed Composite Racing Sailcloth with X-Ply, a material originally developed for elite sailboat racing. This novel material lends the tote inherent waterproof and windproof capabilities, as well as a unique look. Available in white, grey, jade and rust, this everyday tote weighs just 6.5 ounces, making it an appealing EDC carry-all.
RokaRoka Niseko + Bridger Snow Goggles
Having spent well over a decade innovating in the performance sunglass space, Austin, Texas-based Roka gets in the goggle game with a couple of compelling options. The approachable Bridger ($195, shown) boasts a wide view via a toric lens while the Niseko ($295) offers a cylindrical lens that fits better over glasses, plus a bonus low-light lens. In either case you get high-clarity C3 Optics (in a variety of tints), comfy triple-layer face foam, a grippy strap and MagStorm, Roka’s take on a magnet-powered, glove-friendly quick lens swap system.
HypericeHyperice Normatec Elite Hips
For years, Hyperice has been at the top of the recovery device game, duking it out alongside Theragun. But now, the brand gets a leg up on the competition — or rather, both legs… The Normatec Elite Hips is the first-ever “fully portable dynamic air compression device” for the hips, meaning it offers dynamic compression and recovery for one of the most important hinge points on the body. It brings powerful recovery to your hips, IT bands, and lower back anytime, anywhere. And like its lower-leg counterparts, it’s also FSA-eligible.
